Dear Ministers of the Indiana District,
I greet you today in that lovely name that is above all names…Jesus!
It has been an honor to serve as your district superintendent for the past fourteen years. Sister Stroup and I are truly humbled by the love and support you have shown us. Thank you for your many kindnesses!
It has now been ten years since the ministers of the Indiana District voted to combine our District Conference and Campmeeting. I trust that this merged meeting has helped to alleviate our too full schedules and that it has allowed more of our ministers who work secular jobs to have a voice and vote in our conference business sessions and to also en-joy the encouraging atmosphere and fellowship of Campmeeting. It seems to me that this schedule has served our district well and we trust that you feel the same.
This past year has been another good year for the Indiana District. Our camps, confer-ences, rallies and conventions have all enjoyed the blessings of the Lord. And many, if not most, of our churches are experiencing progress and steady growth…some of them, extraordinary growth. We fully recognize that revival and growth do not just happen! They come intentionally and as a result of much prayer, fasting, planning and imple-mentation. Without vision, people perish. We thank you today for your commitment, for your vision and for all of your hard work that has brought your dreams to pass. And while we are grateful to God for what has been accomplished, we all know that there is so much more yet to do. And thus, we cannot rest until every “Hoosier” has had the opportunity to hear the gospel. It is Jesus’ desire that every Indiana resident be saved. May we pray and work together toward that end!
It has been a great honor to serve, once again, with our Indiana District Board during this past year. I want to express my deep appreciation to our hard working, visionary District Secretary, Brother Mark Johnson, for his faithful and dedicated service to our district. Also, our presbyters, Brothers James Fielder, Mark Cottrill, Harrell Wilson, Darrin Williams, Terry Long, Mark Abernathy, Larry Arrowood, and David Bayer along with our honorary board member, Brother Glenn Seaman, are all men who are constantly involved in the work of our district handling church and ministerial matters with competence and with the highest level of integrity. These men are to be commended for a job well done!
We also sincerely appreciate the dedication and commitment of all of our depart-ment heads and secretaries and all of their team members, both on the district and sectional levels. These individuals have given tirelessly of their time and energy to promote their programs and to do all they can to make their departments success-ful. Many of our departments have had record offerings over the past few years! This speaks well of both the great job they are doing to facilitate their various fund raising efforts…and of the spirit of cooperation and generous giving that has played a vital part in these accomplishments.
I want to also take this opportunity to thank all of the churches and pastors that have hosted sectional and district meetings this past year. What a blessing! We
4
especially want to express our appreciation to Calvary Tabernacle and to Brother and Sister Mooney for their hosting of so many district meetings, including our District Ladies Conference and the Holiday Youth Conven-tion…our two biggest meetings of the year. They are such gracious hosts and they go way beyond the call of duty! The people of Calvary Tabernacle are a blessing to all of us and we sincerely appreciate all that they do!
There has been a wonderful spirit of unity and cooperation in our district over the past several years, for which I am truly grateful! I thank God for our beautiful campgrounds and I feel that this place has played a vital part in helping to foster this unity. We all love our home churches and the cities of our calling…and rightly so. But these grounds belong to all of us! We share the ownership of this much-loved place. The Indi-ana Campgrounds are, in a very real sense, our district’s “home church.” How grateful we are for all of your efforts in making this one of the greatest campgrounds in the entire UPCI.
In 1961, the officials of the Indiana District of the United Pentecostal Church, which had rented various other campgrounds for approximately ten years, walked across a tract of land located east of Fortville on State Road 67. They decided to buy that land and to build a camp there. The district purchased that 65-acre Ott Kincaid farm on November 1, 1961. The ministers and laity of the Indiana District then began construction.
Over the next few years a dining hall and five dorms were finished. But then tragedy struck and the dorms were leveled by a fierce tornado in the year of 1964. Our determined predecessors were not deterred. With a holy resolve they declared, “We will build again!” And they did! The dorms were soon rebuilt and the build-ing program was continued until it was, at long last, with joy…completed! The first campmeeting was held on these grounds on August 29th through September 3rd of 1966. The dream of 1961 had finally become a reality! Dedication services were then held on October 4th of 1966, with the Assistant General Superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church, Reverend R. G. Cook, officiating. We owe a great debt of gratitude to our visionary forerunners of a generation ago…many of whose names are on the memorial stone in front of this building! We now have the privilege of continuing to add to that which they began.
This year we are celebrating 50 years of camps…Sunday School camps, Youth Camps, Family Camps, etc., on our very own campgrounds! Fifty years! And, in those 50 years literally thousands of children, teens and adults have been baptized with the Holy Ghost on these grounds. Countless healings and other miracles have taken place right here in this tabernacle. And, only the Lord knows, how many young men and women have been called into ministry… right here in this building where we are gathered today! And we, the present Indiana District Board, feel like this is something worth celebrating! And thus, this week is going to be a very special week as we commemorate and celebrate this wonderful Jubilee year! It is our hope that all of you will be able to stay for the entire week as we know that it will be a tremendous blessing! We look forward to all of our camps this year and beyond with great anticipation! This anticipation is the product of the long and suc-cessful history of Indiana camps. As a result of great camps past, we anticipate great camps future! Let’s all do our part to make this Jubilee Year the greatest year ever in the history of Indiana camps!
On another note… we in the Indiana District are thrilled to be hosting this year’s General Conference in India-napolis. In the years since the last General Conference was held here, Indianapolis has made some wonderful improvements and, as a result, it has now become one of the nation’s top convention cities! In fact, last year, Indianapolis was voted the best convention city in the country. So, with all of the amenities now available in this great convention city… and with the great Apostolic history that Indianapolis enjoys… we think that the people of the UPCI are going to thoroughly enjoy their time here at General Conference this year. Let’s do all we can to turn on our “Hoosier Hospitality” for this great gathering!
We love you all! You are in our prayers always! We trust that this coming year will be the best ever for you and yours and for the entire Indiana District of the United Pentecostal Church! God bless!
In His service,
Robert Stroup, District Superintendent

To the constituency of the Indiana District UPCI,
Greetings in the name of our Lord.I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the supporters of the Indiana District Conference and Training Center. We have ended this year, again with a record surplus of funds and expect 2016 to report an even greater year. It requires stewardship and restraint, all the while juggling the ever expanding needs and expansions to make the campground an viable place for our families and children, and also a viable option to rent.As you entered today, no doubt you could see the new sidewalks and drains installed this year. Besides those, there have been updates to the workers dorm, kitchen and public restroom facilities.The gymnasium construction has not progressed as quickly as some would like and certainly not as quickly as I would have hoped for. We have had constant progress, though at times slower than others. Much is due to the fact that a great deal of our labor is volunteer and volunteer labor is subject to current construction trends. The construc-tion industry has seen a rise in recent months, thus availability has been slightly less. There has been little assistance from anywhere else. At this point, I would encourage you to walk through the gym. The “housing area is about 95% complete. Painting is done and finish work is going on now. Trim and trade finishes will complete the project. Many changes and additions took place along the way, which slowed the process of completion tremendously, but which added incredible value to the facility. As we worked, we saw things we could add/do that would add tremendous aid to both the Youth and Sunday school departments. We are working diligently to finish.Income is up in 2016 due to the fact that we have increased the number of and uses for renting capability. Currently, we are renting the gym November through March to a soft-ball league, the ball fields to a little league, the camp ground this year to two different groups. This year, our rental income will exceed $50,000. An amount never before seen by us!We are also in negotiations with other baseball/softball leagues for rental options which will tremendously add value and income.We are doing everything we can to make Indiana camp memorable for our constituents and marketable for our customers. Thank you for your support.
SincerelyTerry W. Long SrCamp Controller

Dear Fellow Ministers,
There is a surge of support for North American Missions in Indiana. What a tremendous time to join with us in helping to make this the generation of church plants. In this report, I would like to give you an update on the progress of the Indiana North American Missions Department. We are continuing to encourage, support, and help with the planting of churches in our District as well as the overall mission’s effort in North America.
MISSIONARY AND DAUGHTER CHURCHESWe have added two home mission churches since last summer bringing us to a total of nine home mission churches. They are: the Chapmans in Noblesville, the Smiths in Winamac, the Seniours in Lawrenceburg, the Cannata’s in Fishers, the Bryants in Avon, the Hurts in Indianapolis, the Macks in Camby, the Moores in New-burg, and the Faulks in New Palestine. We have a new church plant that we expected to be added to this count this summer bringing us to an overall total of ten churches.
We have at least seven daughter works and six Spanish congregations. While we are thankful for all that is being done, we need many more churches planted and more pastors launching daughter works in order to effectively reach the lost of this State. I appeal to all ministers to actively pray regarding this urgent need. It is, without question, God’s will for us to go forward as a church. With your support, with your prayer, and with your involvement, we will continue to increase the number of churches in Indiana.
METRO MISSIONSThis program supports church plants in metro cities across America. When you support a metro missionary it works similar to supporting a global missionary except the commitment is only for five years. This helps a family get established in a difficult and expensive city. Our thanks to you who support metro missions through monthly P.I.M.’s and to you who hosted a metro missionary service this past year.
CHRISTMAS FOR CHRISTThe Indiana North American Missions Department would like to thank you for your support this past year. You gave $183,000.00 to Christmas for Christ for 2015 which is the fourth consecutive record offering! An increase from the previous year of about 28%! I am profoundly thankful for your giving and assure you that furthering the work of God through North American Missions is our goal.
ENDOWMENTThe Indiana NAM endowment fund deposits a minimum of 5% of the 40% retained from the CFC offering each year. This year, because of your generosity, we expect to be able to deposit $10,000. This will give us a total of $40,000 in our endowment fund. If we maintained this deposit amount for 35 years at an interest rate of 7% annually, we will have well over $1,000,000 and potential interest income of around $65,000 per year! This is what we could have today if this fund was started in 1980. You, your church, or a member of your church can contribute any amount to this fund by sending a check to our attention marked Endowment Fund.
FINANCESWe are able to support Indiana home missionaries generously because of your giving. We expect, this calendar year, to reinvest over $40,000 in our district home missionaries in grant money and training seminar. The semi-nar is designed to help our home missionary pastors implement and improve the administration in their churches with the goal of growth. As reported in the included financial report we continue to reinvest a high percentage of our total CFC offering into our District’s home missionaries and the national missionary program!
10
Thank you for again for a record breaking CFC offering of $183,000! I believe this coming winter we can raise over $200,000! Please consider generously supporting Christmas for Christ in 2016. If you have any questions regarding INNAM please feel free to talk to me any time.
Best regards,
Jonathan Barley

Dear Indiana Minister,
We have had a great year so far in Indiana. Here are a few highlights:
• 2,500 in attendance at this year’s Holiday Youth Convention.• Over 1,500 in attendance across the state at our sectional kick-off rallies on March 11.• A record 15 Real McCoys for 2015’s SFC drive, up from 3 in 2014.• 850 in attendance at Master Rally in May at the campgrounds in Fortville.• A record 55 youth in attendance at this year’s PK Retreat in May.• At least 5 new Project 7 Bible Clubs started in Indiana public schools.• 708 youth from across the country participating in AYC mission trips this summer. The Indiana
District has a great constituency of students that have been accepted and are helping spread the gospel globally.
• Bible quizzing had a great year with 7 brand new teams from 5 new churches to the program.
Thank you for a wonderful Sheaves for Christ offering last year of $130,000. The organization, as a whole, had a record breaking offering in 2015 signifying the growing support and importance of Sheaves for Christ. As we know, 40% of all of the funds raised by our Indiana churches stays within the Indiana District. This helps us enhance our campgrounds, improve the camp experience for our youth, and grow our district youth functions from Holiday Youth Convention to PK Retreat. Also, your SFC contributions helped provide $25,000 in Indiana NAM grants in 2015. Your sacrifice and pledges are invaluable and greatly appreciated. With an increase in student engagement in the Sheaves for Christ fundraising campaign, we are hoping to reach $140,000 in pledges this year.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers. We are believing that this generation of students will help spearhead the next great Apostolic revival!
Thank you for your support of Indiana Youth!
Sincerely,
Chris BarberIndiana Youth President

Sunday School Department
June 13, 2016
Ministers of the Indiana District,
Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ! This past year has been another banner and record breaking year for the Indiana Sunday School Department! I would like to start by thanking each of you for the confidence you have placed in Bro. Addison, the rest of the Sunday School board and myself and for your belief in investing in our children!
It has been an honor to work alongside Bro. Addison and the rest of the Sunday School committee. These are great people with a heart and passion for the Kingdom of God. They are committed to the cause of children and I thank each of them for their hard work and dedication. We are very excited about what the Lord has done over the last year. Here are a few of the highlights:
-Holy Ghost Rallies-We saw 36 children filled with the Holy Ghost this past January, February and March. Bro. Phil Wagoner did a fantastic job and was anointed of the Holy Ghost as he ministered to the children in all our Sectional rallies.
-Save Our Children-This year our offering was $60,178.00. This is another SOC offering for the Indiana District. We broke our previous record we set just last year by over $12,000! Thank you so much for your sacrificial giving for our children! We pray the Lord returns it to you many times over. As you know, we will invest it right back into our kids! They are worth every penny.
-Junior Bible Quizzing-We have seen transition this year in our JBQ Department. Bro. Terry Marshall was asked to lead the National Junior Bible Quiz program. While we will miss Bro. Marshall, we understand this is a high compliment and are excited for this new responsibility. Bro. Marshall has done a tremendous job with Junior Bible Quizzing in our District and we thank him for his years of faithful service. Bro. Eric Fisher has taken the helm and has done a fantastic job in his first year as Indiana’s JBQ Director. We just finished State Quiz Finals a few weeks and Indiana will be sending 6 teams to Nationals this year in July in Branson, Missouri. 4 teams from the Junior Division and 2 teams from the Beginner Division. Please continue to pray for our quizzers as they hide God’s Word in their hearts in this powerful ministry!
-Singles Ministry-Sis. Susan Taylor resigned in 2015 and we thank her for setting a very high standard in the Singles Department here in Indiana. Bro. Darryl Cooper has assumed the role of leader of the Indiana Singles Department and he has done an outstanding job with the Indiana Singles Ministry. The Catalyst Singles Conference was held earlier this spring in Greensburg at Bro. Todd Smith’s church. Bro. James Maroney and Bro. Ron Hawkins did a fantastic job. All in attendance were blessed and encouraged by the ministry and teaching of the speakers. They have an event planned here at

family camp and many more throughout the year.
-Sunday School Camps-We just wrapped up our 2016 Sunday School camp season. Over the two weeks we saw many children filled with the Gift of the Holy Ghost for the very first time and many more refilled!
I greatly appreciate your support and encouragement of the Indiana Sunday School Department. I am very passionate about children as Jesus Himself modeled the entrance into Heaven by likening it to little children.
Remember that we are investing in the Kingdom of God when we invest in children and it is an investment that will pay eternal rewards and dividends! If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to let myself, Bro. Addison or any of the sectional directors know. I count it an honor to serve for such a worthy cause! Thank you for your help as we Save Our Children!
Because of the Children,
Adam M. FaulknerIndiana District Sunday School Director

To the Ministers of the Indiana District,
I count it a great privilege to work with the men of the Indiana District. This year we had a fantastic Men’s Conference at Apostolic Pentecostal Tabernacle in Seymour, Indiana. Thank you Pastor Arrowood for making your people and resources available to us. We counted approximately 800 men. What a fantastic move of God. There was great worship under the direction of Rema Duncan and fantastic preaching from Bro. Scott Graham. We were glad to launch the Men’s Ministry app although it has not been fully functional and the Android version has not been available. However, we anticipate that by July it will be fully functional in the Iphone and Android platforms. The app will allow us to communicate Men’s Ministry news and promote prayer across our district.
We have a wonderful committee that has worked very hard this year:
Section 1 - Bro. Steve Worthen Section 2 - Bro. Nathan CottrilSection 3 - Bro. Timothy RodriguezSection 4 - Bro. Darryl CooperSection 5 - Bro. Jim SleevaSection 6 - Bro. Andrew King Section 7 - Bro. Jon MainsSection 8 - Bro. Jamie Maroney
Leading men to a deeper prayer life has been the focus of our Men’s Committee. Our next conference is geared towards that end. Bro. Tony Bailey, from Stockton, CA will be speaking. He is a foremost advocate of prayer in our fellowship. We anticipate another great conference in Seymour, Indiana on March 3 & 4, 2017.

Dear Pastors & Ministers,
I want to give a special thank you to the ministers and saints of the Indiana District. We did it again and are annually becoming apart of a great endeavor that gets our Missionaries back to their fields of labor while cutting back an minimizing their time of deputation here in North America.
We will once again at General Conference be receiving our annual I Am Global offering. This year it will take place in the Hoosier State and as a top giver annually to Global Missions through our PIM offerings lets also be a top giver for this offering that will take place during and leading up to the Global Missions service which will take place on Wednesday night September 28.
This is the result of your sacrificial giving last year.
▪ Decreased deputation time which means vastly increased time on the field in which a missionary is called.
▪ Decreased travel costs of missionaries on deputation.▪ Decreased hosting costs of local churches which means more funds can be given that ends up being
used directly on the mission field.▪ Decreased the amount of services needed in districts.▪ Increased reports of souls being saved and projects being accomplished because the missionary is able
to fulfill their calling sooner.▪ When a missionary travels in North America on deputation, their expenses such as hotel, food and fuel
come out of their pocket.
The 2015 I AM GLOBAL offering has successfully cancelled 131 months of deputation which has saved the missionaries over $769,000.00.
For the local church, 131 months of cancelled deputation means a savings of over $474,000.00 of food and lodging expenses to the local church. This amount does not include offerings given to the missionary following a service.
This year we were blessed to send back to the field the following missionaries:
▪ James and Stacy Marse

▪ Peter and Robyn Gration▪ Chris and Penny Gibbs▪ Dwayne and Linda Abernathy▪ Daniel and Monica Rushing▪ Joseph and Loretta Bir▪ Amy Sawyer▪ Jacob and Mandy Palma▪ Louis and Martha Johnson▪ Paul and Darla Brochu▪ John and Anne Nowacki▪ Fillipo and Brenda Ciulla▪ Robert and Jerolyn Kelley▪ David and Kelley Dibble▪ Lonnie R. and Gail Burton▪ Mark and Robin Shutes▪ Brad and Lycia Schreckhise▪ Michael and Ivonne Walmer▪ Eddy and Della Mae Kennedy▪ Trecina Anderson
Thank you for your continued support of Global Missions in your monthly PIM’s & Hosting of Missionaries in your local church as this is vital to the effort of raising and sending our these laborers back to their field.
God Bless,
Greg BowmanIndiana District Global Missions Director
