I am a United Methodist and I’ve believed in Him ever since He saved me 44 years ago. We have fought the liberals in our denomination for decades and this year is the tipping point. We’ve won the voting at the last 4 or 5 general conferences keeping the denomination from going homosexual. If we can win just one more time, then the numbers in the growing African churches will be decisive. The forces against us in May are formidable. They have a sinister plan that appears “fair” to sneak through the back door, that is, every church gets to decide it’s own position on that issue. However, if those churches are not also permitted to leave with their properties, then the denomination has allowed homosexuality to be imposed , hasn’t it? But a win this time will be the final time that numbers of delegates will be evenly matched. The growth in the African churches will prevail over the declining American liberal churches. Thanks for listening. We want your prayers for biblical Christians to be victorious. It is very precarious.
Thank you so much for the update and for the understanding of the good fight you are fighting! You honor Him.
Please keep in prayer, fellow Christians, Methodists, ex-Methodists whose family are spinning in their graves, all the prayer needs throughout the coming months until the General Conference May 20:

We won the last 10 times. You are right about the “plans”. They all impose homosexuality in bits and pieces. The congregations that say “no” will have their attitudes adjusted when it comes time for the pastor moves.
Have no doubt that even though the church has voted no 10 times, the gays always bring it back up every 4 years. But, if they win any ground, then it will be “settled” and will never get another vote. So you must hold the line until the Central Conferences become the majority in 2020.
Although I gave up on the UMC two years ago and joined the PCA, I still pray that it does not lose its way and follow TEC, the ELCA, and the PCUSA into gay apostasy.
