October is always a fun month for Bethel Apostolic Academy, Bethel Kiddie Korral, and First Pentecostal Church. Children, parents, and their families come together to enjoy a day filled with fun, food, games and festivities. Each year, Bethel Academy selects a theme and centers the entire day around that theme -and the kids love to dress accordingly. This year the theme was Western. </div>

The teachers put much creative thought and talent into each booth set up for the event. The booths activities ranged from the Pumkin Pantry to the OK Korral Hayrides to the Face painting. Yes, face painting! And some pretty talented face painters, too. They managed to persuade Bro. Mark McAlister to get his face painted. Can you guess what they painted on his face?</div>

The main attraction, however, was the County Jail. It is so much fun throwing somebody in jail...just because you want to.</div>

You may ask, "How could the jail be the main attraction?". Well, I'm glad you asked. If you are daring enough and have a bank bag full of money, you can pay the Sheriff to lock up a prisoner of your choice. The more money you pay the Sheriff, the longer the time the prisoner must serve. </div>

Here's what happens to every prisoner. Once put in jail, you ponder "How did I get here? Who is that rotten, good for nothing, quote-on-quote friend of mine who is laughing at me while I'm stuffed in this over crowded jail?". (I am not over-exaggerating; this happens.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you get out of jail, the investigation begins....then...you finally find out exactly who paid to put you in jail. And.....instead of turn your cheek, like the good book says, you pay to put them in jail....for double the time. Therefore, the compounding effect of this circle of vengeance makes the jail the main attraction of Bethel Day (of course....all in good fun and for a great cause). Unless you decide to factor in the food booths. Hands down, the food at Bethel Day is fattening! Which means, it is delicious. </div>

Pastor Bradford doesn't look very happy to be in jail. He's a pastor through and through, though. He turned his cheek and didn't investigate who threw him in jail. I guess that makes me a pretty lucky person...shhhh don't tell him it was me!</div>

November of 2013 marked the 70th anniversary for Greater Bakersfield First Pentecostal Church, Bishop Leon Frost's 30th pastoral anniversary, and Pastor Kevin Bradford's 3rd pastoral anniversary. We are humbled to be able to celebrate this heritage and we give God all the glory. For the 70th Anniversary Homecoming, it was an honor to have many join the celebration whose roots lead back to Bakersfield, California under Rev. I.H. Terry's and Bishop Frost's pastorate.</div>

At the 70th Anniversary, the church honored both Pastor Bradford and Bishop Frost for their dedication, commitment, and love for the people of GBFPC and the city of Bakersfield. The below picture was presented to Bishop Frost & Pastor Bradford on a canvas to commemorate their recent trip to Israel, and specifically, to the Garden of Gethsemane. The picture also identifies Pastor Bradford teaching while Bishop Frost is resting on a rock, overseeing the teaching.</div>

Well folks. That was your snapshot on WYC 2012. It was a great mountaintop experience, that no young person should miss! A great big thanks to all the volunteers of the kitchen: Sister Karen Newton, and a new couple making their debut as regulars Brother and Sister Kiffer Black. Also in the kitchen were Brother and Sister Grogan, Sister Garza, and all those that volunteered as servers. Also a big thanks to our youth leaders Brother and Sister Brock. They put hours into making this camp extra special for the young people. Thank you! And to all the musicians, singers, and Brother Chad Bradley for all the sound-tech details. We certainly have a blessed youth group!</div>

If you missed this one of a kind event then you really missed out. There was plenty of food to feed like 5,000 people! Well, maybe not that many, but I'm sure God would make a way if there were that many. All the saints had a great time sharing one another's company and looking back on a great year.<br />
<br />
As we do every year, we all worked on a sheet of Brain teasers. The table that had the answer to question number nine was first to be dismissed. Surprisingly, almost every table had their hands raised, and Brother Richard Firo came through with the touchdown. Great job table #1! The food was great as always, and then came the fun part. The speakers.<br />

One main point that he highlighted was the plans on the horizon. He mentioned that they have never had an english speaking service since the church's birth.

</tbody></table>The church in Shafter has been attracting many young children, and through the children the church hopes to reach the parents as well. Brother Cabrera had many great stories to tell such as this. One that stands out, however, is how they went outreaching in the city, and they invited this older lady to come to church. She told Brother Cabrera later that she had been praying that God would lead her to a church, so she said in her heart that the one group that invites me to church, thats where I'll go. This really shows how powerful a tool outreach is to the church. The Shafter church is starting to fill up rather quickly, and pretty soon they'll need a van to pick up children and their families around town. Great things are already happening in Shafter!<br />

Sister Danielle Parriott has always been a tremendous help. She has been a faithful choir director throughout the years, and she loves working with the youth to bring out their potential in singing and praising God.<br />
<br />
He mentioned how great a help Brother Randy Newton has been. He works with the chorale in finding great worship songs to sing and is always there to lend a helping hand. He is also over the media side of things in the sound booth.<br />
<br />
Breanna Frost has also been there to help Brother Jeremy with things that needed to be done in the youth department. Breanna also took the volunteer of the year award for the Sunday School department. Great Job Breanna!<br />
<br />
Then Brother Jeremy got on the topic of the volunteer of the year for the youth department. This person is very special he said. He is always there to lend a helping hand and whenever Brother Jeremy needed something he was always first to jump to the task. This young person also is a praise singer and part of both the Adult and Youth Choir, and has a great attendance record for both. Ladies and Gentlemen, the volunteer of the year award for the youth department is your very own<br />
Gary Newton. Great job this year Gary, keep up the good work!</span></td></tr>

God has continued to open doors for Chaplain Firo to go in and start churches on different yards. Ironwood State Prison and the Bethel Church are a couple of the churches that have been started and are thriving as we speak. Brother Firo has a real heart toward these men wants to see them saved and filled with the Holy Ghost.<br />
The volunteer of the year for this department came down to two men who help Brother Firo tremendously: Brother Steve Wilson and Brother Ben Barraza. These two men are always there for Brother Firo. And for the volunteer of the year for the prison ministry, he chose Brother Steve Wilson. This man, he said, is his right hand man, he's always there to teach and preach from 6am in the morning on Sunday to 4pm that afternoon. Great job Brother Steve! Please keep the prison ministry, the churches that are started, and the ministers of the prisons in your prayers. They covet your prayers greatly!<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Our musicians and singers are some the most gifted people out there. The dedication and passion that each one of these saints of God possess is priceless. Brother Shawn extended thanks to all that had fantastic attendance records for choir over the past year. Then Brother McAllister stepped up to say a few words of his fantastic crew of musicians. He sincerely expressed his thanks and gratitude to the fine young men that put up with him three days a week. "Each of you has a tremendous talent, but remember to ALWAYS use this talent to praise God". We could all see how much Brother McAllister really loves these boys and appreciates their service to God. Among the young musicians are: <br />
Trent Johnston, Jake Kaufman, Bryson Parriott, Drew Fields and Kevin Forsythe.<br />
<br />
I'm sure it was a tough decision for Brother Mark to select the volunteer of the year, because each one of them does so well and are all very faithful. However, the standout musician for 2011, and this year's volunteer of the year for the Music Ministry was Jake Kaufman. He is our bass player, and a very faithful musician to brother McAllister. Great job Jake!<br />
<br />
<b>The Women's Ministry </b><br />
<br />
I did not get a picture for Sister Debbie Condren, however, she presented and expressed her gratitude to all the ladies in the church for all their help throughout 2011. She said that whenever she needed anything, she would send out a mass text to all the ladies saying, that she needed desserts for a funeral, or a fundraiser, and they were always quick to help.<br />
<br />
For the volunteer of the year, Sister Debbie expressed that she could not do any of this without one special lady. She always helped cook and prepare large meals for special occasions and did whatever she could to help Sister Debbie. This years volunteer of the year for the Women's department was Sister Michelle Flores. Your an inspiration Sister Michelle, keep it up!</span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Pastor's Volunteer of the year award is a special one. The man that was selected for this award is strong in his faith and very much dedicated to God. He is a man of authority in his own right. And his job is tremendously dependent on the direction that a service goes. Pastor couldn't have picked a better person for this award, and this year's Pastor's Volunteer of the Year goes to Brother Mark McAllister. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We all love and appreciate you bro, keep up the great work!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Then came the ballot count for the volunteer of the year. The ballots were counted and here are the runner-ups. Coming in third with a good amount of votes was Sister Michelle Flores. This is a well-deserved honor for this great lady. The second runner-up is a couple that is very special and have recently taken over the head of the Van and Bus Ministry. With a whopping (?) amount of votes, your second runner-up was Brother and Sister Randy Newton Sr. They really deserve this for their hard work. Now the volunteer of the year was a young man by the name of Matt Forsythe. I believe I spelled his name correctly, he'll have correct me if I'm wrong. He was too embarrassed to say a word when Pastor Bradford handed him the mic, probably because his heart was beating at like 180bpm, while everyone was chanting, "Speech, Speech, Speech!" Great job to the Volunteer of the year and all the runner-ups!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">A great man, a prankster, a man of God, a man of love, a noble friend to many. These qualities barely scratch the tip of the iceberg in describing what Brother Kendrick has meant to so many people. A testimony to how great this man really was, is that over one-hundred preachers showed up to his funeral from all around the world.<br />

</tbody></table>He was a great man, and might I add a successful man, because he finished the race on fire for God. The story behind Brother Randy being a successful man is based on Brother I. H. Terry's response to this simple question: "Reverend this man seems to be a successful preacher, isn't he?". And Brother Terry gave some words of wisdom saying, "There are no successful preachers until they have died, living their whole life to the Lord". This was one of the stories shared by Brother Vaughn Morton, and we are all witnesses to the successful finish of this great man of God.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">What a dazzling display of sweltering flames that cloaked the susceptible marsh-mellows! Thanks to my new app/game on the iPad called W.E.L.D.E.R. (Word Examination Laboratory for Dynamic Extraction and Reassessment), I am able to create such a diverse sentence. Wow. In a more straight forward form, the marsh-mellows that we all roasted over the fire, most of them at least, caught fire and made excellent s'mores. Some people, like myself roasted over medium to light heat in order to get that gooey center and no burn marks. Others stuck their marsh-mellows in the direct flames and had a nice well done black blob. I personally cannot bear the thought of consuming such a thing. However, we all had a blast making these one of a kind creations.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The great Tug of War was a great event to end the day at Bethel Days 2011. The men faced their rivals, the ladies, and were put to the test. I'm sure the men were thinking, "We got this", going into the challenge, but the ladies pulled through with an astounding win. As you can see in the background Agent Catherine Ross working in the K-9 unit distracts the men by targeting them with silly string. Now let's rewind a bit..</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The kids had a blast participating in the booths that were set up by numerous Bethel Day Volunteers. The work that went into each of these booths must have been time-consuming because each one looked amazing!</div><br />

Yes, heroes they are indeed. The object of this game was to target the bandit and hit him in the face with a large sponge. Pictured here is your Heroes in Action hostess Breanna Frost and Todd Hall as your bandit. Krissa scores one big here when she smacks Todd right in the nose. Nice one!</div><br />

Sis Denise came up with the theme Bubble War Heroes through her fantastic research. Apparently, in World War II there was a soldier that blew a bubble gum bubble the size of one and a half large pizzas! Now, I could only blow a 5-inch bubble and once I did so, it popped and stuck to my face not wanting to come off, however Todd Hall and David deserve credit for the largest bubbles of the day at a whopping 9 inches in diameter for each. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Also, at the top right of the picture is one of the mic stands on the announcing table. This game was thoroughly entertaining with your BETHEL announcers: Chad Bradley and Laren Kaufman.

Notably, the Oats were ecstatic that they won the game against the Bethel Boys of 2011 for the second year in a row with a score of 21 to 42. The boys did a great job in the game regardless of who won or lost. This just goes to show that the Oats still have some steam left in the tank in their post-Bethel Boys adventure. A big thanks from all the football players goes to Bro Gary Newton and those who helped him lay dirt on the field to prep it for the game and to Bro Jeremy Brock for using his GPS techniques to accurately line the field. Great job guys!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This event is very special to all of us, in that it brings us all together for some great family fun. To all the volunteers: booth volunteers, cooks, Snack Shack, clean-up crew, the excellent corn-n-the-cob cooks, the field work and lining put down for the football field, and all the behind the scenes work that was put into this event, a great big Thank You to all that helped out in any way possible. This event would not be possible without you. And if you missed out this year, be sure to make BETHEL DAY 2012, its going to be awesome!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The morning service is geared toward introducing ourselves to our guests. Each ministry of the church will create a display communicating what is offered in their field of labor. This will be a great opportunity to meet and greet, ask questions, create contacts, and in general, find out "who's in charge of?...."<br />
<br />
The night service will be another opportunity to find out about church information, and the service will be an evening of Praise & Worship. The adult and youth choirs will be singing, along with the Praise & Worship teams, and we will be highlighting the project "Roots of 65." <br />
<br />
This will be a great day and we invite you to attend both services.

The doors to Greater Bakersfield's First Pentecostal Church opened Tuesday evening and a stream of men, all with little or no hair, made their way down the aisle and lined up in rows.<br />
<br />
Pastor Kevin Bradford watched for a moment, and then his smile grew wider as he realized what was happening. This wasn't going to be a typical prayer service.<br />
<br />
The men and boys, about 80 in all, had shaved their heads in a show of support for Bradford, who was diagnosed in early December with cancer. He announced his illness to the congregation on Sunday, told them he was shaving his head in preparation for chemotherapy, and afterwards groups of churchgoers talked it over and decided to break out the razors.<br />
<br />
They kept their decision a secret until the prayer service.<br />
<br />
Bradford, 40, was stunned.<br />
<br />
"I am so very grateful and thankful," he said. "I do want to apologize to all the wives."<br />
<br />

<br />
Raymond Andreas, who attends the church, said this is the shortest his hair has been in 11 years. He said it was moving to see so many people participate.<br />
<br />
"This shows solidarity for them to set their pride aside to support the pastor," Andreas said.<br />
<br />
Laren Kaufman said he usually has a thick head of hair, and he went about cutting it Sunday in three stages. <br />
<br />
He chose to go completely bald and he, like many others, brought knit caps to help protect against the chilly night air. <br />
<br />
He didn't mind the slight discomfort the cold caused.<br />
<br />
"We're just blessed to have the pastor we have," Kaufman said.<br />
<br />
Others said they felt the same way.<br />
<br />
"He's not only our pastor, but like a best friend," said churchgoer Randy Newton. "We cherish and love this man."<br />
<br />
Colby Condren described Bradford as generous and outgoing. And very healthy. Condren said it was a shock to hear Bradford had cancer because he keeps himself in great shape.<br />
<br />
"He's the healthiest guy I've ever known," Condren said.<br />
<br />
Bradford, who's married with two children, said he was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He underwent surgery to have an axillary lymph node removed, and he had his first chemotherapy treatment Monday.<br />
<br />
He said that, in talking with doctors, he's learned that many people who recover from illness often have large support groups. Bradford's congregation let him know Tuesday that he's got plenty of people pulling for him.<br />
<br />
"I'm just completely overwhelmed by the support of the church and I'm glad to be a part of these great people," he said.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267480199109585976.post-24533993306995423002010-12-04T20:58:00.000-08:002010-12-07T00:08:39.712-08:00Missions Conference 2010<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Mistral; font-size: 18pt;">… I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

The play told the story of a group of young people’s decisions at the second coming of Jesus Christ. Some chose to follow the Bible, and lived a life devoted to God. Meanwhile, there were others in the play who were distant and unmoved by the matter, thinking that there would be plenty of time to make things right. The message was extremely realistic and impacted many of its’ viewers. With so many reliable volunteers, everything was carefully organized and successful. The play was performed on October 15th and 16th and there were impacting altar services both nights.</span></span><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13;"></span></div><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:13;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
