The mission of the Youth Department is to serve the local churches of the WV District of the United Pentecostal Church International, assisting them in fulfilling the great commission given by Jesus Christ which is to evangelize the lost and disciple the converted. Your District Youth Team is committed to: exalting the Lord Jesus Christ; equipping youth to fulfill their potential; providing an environment for growth, stability, and ministry; and motivating and mobilizing youth to reach the lost by fulfilling the Great Commission. We assist local churches by: providing training programs for youth and those involved in ministry; providing mission opportunities for exposure to evangelism; providing resources for evangelism and discipleship; promoting revival through ministries and events geared toward youth; and investing Sheaves For Christ funds in the work of God.


Sheaves for Christ

Dear WV District Church Family,

With tremendous joy I write to you today because of the marvelous works of the Lord. We have just finished West Virginia District Camps a couple of weeks ago. I am glad to report to you that at least 61 people received the baptism of the Holy Ghost in our two weeks of camp. To God be all of the glory! Many of our young people were touched by the hand of God. I watched as night after night, young people laid in the altars, with tears streaming down their faces, as God began to move on them in a very real way. Parents, pastors, and saints, you can be confident in the fact that we have a great group of young people in the West Virginia District!

To all of our young people and youth leaders, Tiphanii and I love each and every one of you very much. We believe in you, your call of God, and your future. I challenge you in the Holy Ghost to keep living for God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and spirit. You CAN make it, you CAN do it, and you CAN be mightily used by God.  I challenge you to take your relationship with God to a deeper level of consecration.

Just a note of reminder to all that ordered CDs from the second week of camp and have not received them as of yet: We are working diligently on them and will have them to you shortly. Thanks for your patience in this matter.

Now I come to something that is very urgent as well as very important. The Sheaves for Christ deadline is August 29, 2010. Thank you for all who have already made pledges. We are believing God for a great Sheaves for Christ offering in 2010. We are asking you to help us in this matter. It is not too late to give an offering or even start raising money. We need to make this very last weekend a very important one and make one more strong push to raise money. All of the money will go to support the Kingdom of God 100%. It is a great cause that is worth giving sacrificially towards. Let us all Live to Give in 2010!

Live to Give,
Justin Meadors

Dear Pastors, Ministers and Fellow Laborers:

Let me begin by saying how very humbled we are that you have elected us as your new District Youth Secretary. Tiphanii and I are very grateful and honored that you have placed your confidence in us. I can tell you that first and foremost we will do anything and everything we can to serve you, our District, youth team, and young people, to the very best of our ability. This is not a task we take lightly. With that being said, we are very excited about what the future holds!

We are very excited to be working with our new District Youth President Rev. David Bounds. I know he has a tremendous love and passion for our generation and will do an excellent job in his new role. Also, we are very blessed to have such a wonderful and capable youth team to work with. I believe we are on the brink of the greatest revival in the history of the West Virginia District Youth.

Let me take this time to also remind you about two very important things coming up. We are looking forward to West Virginia District Youth Camp on July 26th – 30th. We have evangelist Matt Tuttle scheduled to be with us. You don’t want to miss this exciting time of year! Also, remember the Sheaves for Christ deadline is rapidly approaching, August 29th. Please be in prayer and continue to raise funds for this excellent cause.

In closing, let me say that if there is anything that I can do to help or assist you please do not hesitate to call or email me. Together we can make a difference in this generation. We love each and every one of you and look forward to what God is going to do!

Dear Ministers of the West Virginia District,

I was very humbled by the vote of the brethren to elect me as your new youth president. My family and I will serve you to the best of our ability. We are looking forward to what God is going to do in the near future.

We are going to miss, my dear friend Bro. Fazzalore and his leadership in a great way, and are very thankful for all that he has done and accomplished in our great West Virginia district. I have enjoyed working with him and his family.

The youth team, as well as I am very excited of the future of our great district. We are in great expectation of what God is going to do in the hearts of our youth. We are moving forward with the mind of God and clear direction. We have a lot of things planned in the near future. Such as our missions trip to Costa Rica. Bro. Fazzalore and I will be taking a group of twenty from here in West Virginia to their general conference, where we will be conducting a Holy Ghost crusade. Please be in much prayer that God would fill many souls with the Holy Ghost! We will be leaving June 17th

Youth Camp is almost here! There has already been a lot of work accomplished at the camp this year. I want to thank our superintendent Bro. Garlitz, Bro. Priddy, and  Bro. Hurley and his crew for the new roof on the tabernacle. Two men from Bro. Kapp’s church and Bro. Bob Shelton have already been cutting grass and getting the grounds prepared for our kids. On June 11 & 12 there will be work days at the camp. I would love to see a great turn out of workers of all ages. Many of the youth team will be there as well. There will also be work days on July 9 and 10 as well as July 16 and 17.

Our camp evangelist this year is Evangelist Matthew Tuttle from Houston, TX.  Brother Tuttle is a full-time evangelist, a son of our UPCI missionaries to Holland, and a member of the Texas District Youth Committee.  He preached our master youth rally at district conference last year and God used him in an awesome way. We are looking forward to him ministering to us this year.

The dates for camp are as follows:

Sunday school camp dates are July 19-23 ages 8-12

Senior Youth camp dates July 26-30 ages 13 and up

Please note as well that we have combined both Junior and Senior High ages into one week.  To that end, the amount of workers and dorm counselors we will be able to use will be smaller than in years past.  Pastors, please inform your saints that anyone desiring to come to camp as a worker must submit a worker application to either Pastor P. D. Priddy or myself and be approved prior to arriving at camp!  You can find this application here on the WV District web site. This helps us plan more efficiently.  Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

Thank you for your continued faithful support of the WV Youth Ministries. You make our ministry possible and for that we are very grateful. We do not take lightly the trust you place in us to make a positive spiritual impact in your young people. It is our sincere desire to strengthen your hands and reinforce the powerful truths of the Word of God that you proclaim to your youth every week in the local church.

In closing, let me say that in 2010 the West Virginia District Youth Department is wholeheartedly committed to faithfully fulfilling our mission at an even higher level of excellence and effectiveness.  Your youth committee team, youth secretary and I are here to serve you and your youth.  It is our sincere desire to equip our young people to be truly Apostolic in this last hour.

If I can be of service to you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Costa Rica – WV Youth on Mission Trip

Dear West Virginia Family:

We are writing to request a prayer covering for the WV Youth on Mission Trip to Costa Rica.  On Friday, June 18 a group of 21 will be traveling to San Jose, Costa Rica to participate in the Costa Rican National Convention.  We are pleased to be taking many of your young people to see the explosive harvest field of Central America!

The trip will be led by retiring Youth President Robert Fazzalore, Youth President-Elect David Bounds and District Board Member Roger Zimmerman.  We covet your prayers for our group as we travel.  It is our desire to be used of the Lord to have an impact in this nation.  We are believing God to fill many with the Holy Ghost!  Thanks in advance for your prayers!

May the Lord bless you!
