This from Brother Doulos on our team:
The UMP is an educational, multi-media Campaign designed to scrub away the Ignorance of the Urban Christian and Christendom as a whole. American Church Organizations send Hundreds of Thousands of missionaries to evangelize the world; yet we neglect to impact our own country. Does you church have a functional active program for community evangelism? If so your part of the small minority, sadly we losing more Christians to the world, then we bring into the Church.
What is the purpose of the Campaign?
Our mission is threefold; first, we must re-establish a health Fear of God (Psalms 33:8), second, we must restore The Name of Our Lord. Third we must restore the Message of Consecration and Holiness to the Body of Christ.
To do this encouraging the Christian community (Parents, Christian Music/Retail Industry, Christian Business, Pastors, Youth Leaders, Laypersons, Churches) to boycott any influential Person, Organization, or Corporations that make Statements, Publish the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Why is the Campaign needed?
The UMP is needed because we’re losing our saltiness (Matthew 5:12). The church is being trampled under the foot of men. We are no longer effective because we are now of this world. The UMP was breathed to shake things up
is this a Hip Hop Movement?
Absolutely not! Actually a dear brother and friend was having trouble with his children and secular music and he compelled me (Full Arm Twisting) to return to music. For that I am forever grateful because Hip Hop/Rap music is the mouth piece and Main influence on this generation and many to come.
How Can I Get Involved?
The first thing is make sure this is more than just a good thing for you. Urban Missionary work is hard stuff. God will show you this you may not want to see or admit.
Second, please take this Spiritual Gifts test; we believe a believer is most effective and passionate working in the area of their gifting: http://www.kodachrome.org/spiritgift/
Third, consider committing $10 per month to West Coast Urban Missions we would like to have a Budget of about $30,000 in 2010.
Lastly, Get and read this book “Pagan Christianity” http://www.paganchristianity.org/
Others was to help:
• Pray
• Volunteer your time
• Give a Love offering
• Donate Your Talents
• Donate Your Facilities
• Stop investing your entertainment Dollars into the World, and Invest them in Kingdom Building.
It is critical that this program have the support and Prayers of the Body of Christ. We must get invested, in our communities, our young adults; consider when you were them, wishing someone would do something.
