What is SFC

Sheaves for Christ is the fundraising ministry of the General Youth Division of the United Pentecostal Church International. Since its inception in 1952, over $103 million has been raised to fund missions and ministries around the world.
  • A missionary having the vehicle he needs to carry the gospel to the furthest regions of his country.
  • A home missionary having a building so that he can share truth in his community.
  • A child finding healing and a future at Tupelo Children’s Mansion or Lighthouse Ranch for Boys.
  • A student pursuing her calling and Christian Education with a SFC Scholarship.
  • A family overcoming chemical dependency and finding restoration through Spirit of Freedom Ministries.
  • When you invest in Sheaves for Christ you intentionally answer the question “Why” and share the gospel around the world. ​

Campus Ministry International
CMI was formed to enable and encourage local churches to effectively reach out to the college and university populations in their vicinities with the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is done by a variety of means—including motivating districts and churches to establish and maintain campus evangelism; providing materials and training to aid in the formation of these campus ministries; acting as a clearinghouse for the gathering and distribution of new information, ideas, and materials; and establishing communication and cooperation between campus ministries in our fellowship. Get connected now at the CMI website http://www.campusnow.org

NAYC is the premier youth conference of the United Pentecostal Church International. As many as 32,000 young people attend this meeting and are exposed to inspirational preaching, teaching, singing, and great fellowship! NAYC takes place biannually in a city in North America and is anticipated with much excitement by young people and youth workers of the UPCI.
