Apostolic Unity

[Sam]

I'll give you an example of Apostolic unity that happened a couple of weeks ago.

I met a young man at an Apostolic Church which is about an hour and a half away from where I live. I found out a few days later that he was going to an area hospital for chemo and radiation treatments. I found out that someone was going to meet him there and have lunch with him and pray for him. I invited myself to join them and they agreed.

I drove 3 hours to the hospital. The young man (age 27) who was going there for treatment goes to a UPC church but has a license with an independent organization. The other young man (age 22) goes to a UPC Church. The two young men drove about an hour to get there. Another man, age 62 is a Bishop in an organization called The Apostolic Church of the Living God. I think he drove a couple of hours to get there. All 4 of us met and had lunch together. Then we went to the Chapel and talked, fellowshipped, and prayed for each other. I think this is a good example of Apostolic unity.

A week later I drove an hour and a half to speak at an Apostolic Church. The pastor and I belong to the same OP organization and he knows how I believe but he allowed me to speak.

Last night I spoke to the Bishop (mentioned above) and told him to let me know when he is going to be at a certain church (independent OP) preaching and I will try to get there. This church is between where he lives and where I live and is about 2 hours away for each of us coming from opposite directions.

I have a list of several ministers and ministries that I pray for on a regular basis and I support a couple of them financially. The people on them are pretty diverse, some are trinity and some are oneness. I obviously do not believe everything each of them believes but I consider them to be servants of the Lord and brothers and sisters in Jesus.

I think these are a few examples of unity.
