Do The Work. Be The Gospel.
Apostolic Action
Acts 1:8
As Apostolic believers, we are called to do the work through the power of the Holy Ghost. Our faith demands action—reaching souls, serving communities, and witnessing of Christ wherever we go. The same Spirit that fell in Acts still empowers us today to impact our world with the gospel in word and deed. “Doing the Work” means stepping beyond the walls of the church to fulfill the Great Commission and demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways.
INFLUENCE CULTURE
II Corinthians 3:2-3
To be the Gospel is to live in such a way that others can see Christ through us. The Apostolic-Pentecostal walk calls us to holiness, compassion, and authenticity—our lives should reflect the message we preach. When we embody the fruit of the Spirit and walk in love, we become living testimonies of the power of God’s salvation. The world may never read the Bible, but they can read us—the living epistles of Christ.
Unity & Service
Ephesians 4:11-16
The IPYPU thrives when every young person recognizes their place in the body and commits to doing the work together. Our strength is found in unity, where each gift and calling contributes to the building of God’s Kingdom. Serving together in humility and purpose allows us to be the Gospel—a visible expression of Christ’s love, diversity, and power working through His people. In unity, the world sees Jesus more clearly.
WE ARE IPYPU
We are the generation called, chosen, and empowered to make a difference. Rooted in Apostolic truth and fueled by the Holy Ghost, we stand united in purpose—to serve, to lead, and to transform our world through the power of Jesus Christ. We are not just a movement; we are the living expression of the Gospel in action. We are IPYPU—doing the work, being the Gospel, and carrying the fire forward.
