United Faith Facebook Groups


Hi, how are you doing? My name is Otangelo. I am president and founder of United Faith Facebook groups network. Abbie and Austin Shiloh from Mission fleet are collaborators.

Have you heard about it?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2094142874196695/

We can create a Facebook Group for your city or region, the name is United Faith. The goal is to get  pastors, missionaries, orphanage and elderly ministry workers, and believers of various denominations of the Protestant - evangelical faith, in every city, anywhere in the world, closer together, to know each other, share information, and to join forces to spread the Gospel, and the Christian faith and ask for help where needed.  We are creating UF FB groups for cities all around the world.

United Faith is not a charity organization making donations - so I kindly ask you - do not insist on asking us to provide financial support. What we are doing, is providing you a tool - through United Faith groups, so you can make your ministry, church, or mission known to others, grow faster, and join forces with people nearby you, and outside the borders, and meet people from all around the world serving Christ.

 We create the group for you. Once created ( it takes only a few minutes ) you can add friends to join, and share information. 

You can moderate a group of your city or region. All groups are joined and interconnected together. Your only commitment is to start adding at least 20 friends to start the group ( the more, the better ). Any member can share information of any sort related to direction, organization, edification, encouragement, teaching, organize events together, inform others of specific prayer requests, ministry needs, and join forces to pray for specific issues etc. The goal is to spread the Gospel, glorify our Creator, make HIM known to the nations, and do it as a joint venture, in a coordinated manner. Anyone can join any other United Faith group, worldwide.

So we are inviting you to join us and create this network. If you live for example in Bangalore, we can create a local Group United Faith Bangalore, and all you have to do is starting to add people. We will be administrating the various Groups, together with others which will join. I will also constantly download and dispose of free of Christian literature, books, free for download, to any member. Come and join our fast growing family.

https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t2273-who-i-am-goal-of-this-library

He is the founder and president of United Faith Global.

Abbie and Austin Shiloh from Mission fleet are collaborators.

https://www.facebook.com/Mission-Fleet-163975574264430/

United Faith, has the goal to grow and to unite the Body of Christ by creating a network of evangelical Facebook groups. If you would like to join a local United Faith Facebook group of another city rather than of this group, maybe where you live, please check if there is one existent - we are creating starting new groups all around the globe:

https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t2703-united-faith-group-list

If not, we can create one for you - just get in touch with us. 

This group and space are intended to promote a closer and frequent dialogue amongst the various churches and denominations and its members,  edification, encouragement, share prayer requests, fellowship, share books, the organization of meetups, joining forces for local and regional evangelism campaigns, and all kind of activities which promote social interaction and the Kingdom of God. And as well, the publishing of photos, videos, and narratives of past and actual/current events.   It has also the goal to broaden the inter-relationship of Group members with members of other groups, nation-wide, and beyond the borders.

Any member can add friends, here in this group, and also on United Faith global. ( first link )

Furthermore, here you can organize:

- Church interrelation pastor meet-ups

- Organization of common mission trips and evangelization campaigns

- Visit of the members of one church or another church for communion / socializing.
- Organize festivals together

- Organize Student Camp meet-ups

- Organize collecting donations for Orphanages, elderly houses, and other people in need

- The facility for church retreat of one church might be offered to another Church. That can be organized and proposed here.

- Church single meet-ups. About one-third of adults in your town are single. Form a top-notch team to pray and plan multiple small groups, events, and ministries for singles. Kick off with a single adult retreat.

- All Church picnic. Plan a fun-filled day of food, games, and fellowship.

- Invitation of participation of baptism event of one Church at a public place to other Churches. Invite people who want to become a Christian, and believers who have never been baptized to sign up for a big baptism Sunday. Provide printed and e-invitations for their family and friends.

- Organize Christmas, Eastern, and other holiday and festivity day meetings amongst various local Churches and members

United Faith groups will be structured in a pyramid manner. There is United Faith Global, then divided into nations and cities.

Each Administrator / Moderator can add his Facebook friends, and in particular, he can ask other local Pastors to join,  add  as many local Church leaders through their pastors and ministers at this place. So one can share information of any sort related to direction, organization, problem-solving, organize events together, inform others of specific prayer requests, and join forces to pray for specific issues etc. delined geographically. The goal is to spread the Gospel, glorify our Creator, make HIM known to the nations, and do it as a joint venture, in a coordinated manner. Anyone is free as well to join any other United Faith Group, around the world. I encourage you to join United Faith Global, to inform yourself, what is going on on a global scale.

There are many discordances, doctrinal, and practical, amongst each church, and branches. There will be a general outline to be established. Churches that spread the prosperity Gospel, will not make part of the network. And so, of course, any sectarian movement which spreads falsehood, and not sound orthodox biblical doctrine.

You might want to ask: " Really if your group help me I will add more and more members "

Our answer: United Faith is not a charity organization. So we do not make donations. We are providing you a tool to make your ministry known, and join forces with others, in order for your ministry and your fellowship to grow.

Basis and formation of our worldview:
We from United Faith ( UF ) defend a theistic worldview. This worldview is not a result and based on blind faith, but a consistent elaboration of an epistemological framework, and based on that, including consideration of science, theology, and philosophy, made us come to the conclusion after a considerable investigation that Theism, and in particular the biblical faith and God are the most case-adequate answer explaining best our physical and spiritual existence and our origins.

125 reasons to believe in God
https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t1276-125-reasons-to-believe-in-god

A cumulative case for the God of the Bible
https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t1753-a-cumulative-case-for-the-god-of-the-bible

What we believe:
We believe that the Bible is God's authoritative and inspired word, and as such, as Timothy 3.16 says:

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Gospel is our core message: God loves humankind and wants to know each one of us,  and reveal Himself to us. But we have to surrender to his grace by faith, Humbly, believe in Him, repent from our godless life, and put our trust in Jesus Christ and his atonement to save us because we can't save ourselves. All who are justified also receive the gift of adoption and become children of God.

How you can get Saved!
https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t2501-how-you-can-get-saved

We bow and worship the triune God, God Father, God Son, and God the Holy Spirit alone. We are called to live in the center of the will of God and the orientation given in his word, the Bible. That includes sanctification, purification, fight and abandon sin by the power of the holy spirit. We are called to fulfill the great mission and commandment of Christ, to go to all nations and proclaim the Gospel, defend our faith, and witness what HE has done in our lives. We are called to unite in prayers to move Gods mighty arm, to receive HIS direction and guidance to move forward, and all kinds of blessings, protections, and interventions.

- The Bible is God’s inspired revelation written to us, and as such, divine authority, both, in total 66 books, of the Old, and New Testament ( we do not accept the apocryphal books ) our orientation in faith and life.
- The Old Testament was the covenant of the law, while the New Testament the covenant of grace. In the covenant of grace, God freely offered sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ.
- We believe, that baptism is not essential for salvation.
- We believe that Gods nature consists of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
- No further or additional or special revelation or human traditions are needed. We believe, scriptures only are enough
- We believe that true born-again Christians cannot be lost. But that is a personal interpretation, and we respect and see no problem if someone thinks or believes otherwise.
- We believe that Genesis is best understood as a narrative of historical facts, and not in an allegorical manner, but a literal creation of six normal days. We see no problem if someone believes the Earth is old. We do not agree with theistic evolution.
-  We believe that the true born-again Christian demonstrates his change of nature, true conversion, and presence of the holy spirit through sanctification, the dominion of sin is eliminated and sin is weakened and suppressed as the individual grows in holiness and obedience. In other words, by doing good works (actions done in obedience to God's commandments) do not save anyone, but are a sign of true conversion and true faith. We are saved to do good.
- Objective moral values exist, and the moral law expressed in the Old Testament remains valid. While true believers are neither "justified or condemned" by the law, it serves "as a rule of life informing of the will of God, and our duty".
-  We reject Universalism,  a theological and philosophical concept that claims, that in the end, nobody will suffer eternal punishment, but all creatures will be saved.
- We believe in the fruits of the spirit, like prophecy, healings, speaking in tongues, and as such, welcome all Pentecostal and neo-pentecostal churches. 
- We do not support, and we are not interested to admit any denomination which preaches the prosperity gospel. 

Our mission:
When Jesus Christ came to fulfill his mission, the Roman Empire was established already for at least a couple of hundred years, and all over, roads had been built, which permitted fast traveling in all the empire. This was a reason, why the gospel was spread after Pentecost to all nations.  Today, new fast communication networks are being built, in special, social web enterprises, like in particular, Facebook. United Faith intends to explore the advance of the technology, and these new communication channels, to form a network of Facebook groups, to bring the Body of Christ closer together.

United Faith, has the goal to unite local Pastors, Church leaders, and ministers, servants, evangelists, deacons, youth leaders, pastors working with Orphanages, elderly houses, and that care with the homeless and in need generally, and all that work and serve in and for the local churches, to share information of all sorts of kinds, that are related to the Christian, Protestant - evangelical confession of faith.

United Faith intends to promote a closer and frequent dialogue amongst the various churches and denominations and its members,  edification, encouragement, share prayer requests, fellow and discipleship, share books, the organization of meetups, joining forces for local and regional evangelism campaigns, and all kind of activities which promote social interaction and the Kingdom of God. And as well, the publishing of photos, videos, and narratives of past and actual/current events.   It has also the goal to broaden the inter-relationship of Group members with members of other United Faith local groups, nation-wide, and beyond the borders.

We are committed to know God better, and share our knowledge:

Who is God? Attributes of God
https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t1481-who-is-god-attributes-of-god

Structure
We want to choose and elect pastors and servants that wish to moderate United Faith ( UF ) groups for their respective cities, where they live, equipping and mobilizing them and giving a tool which will help them to grow their ministry. They can add friends, pastors of various churches to join, unite, come closer, know each one better, and join forces to make God known. There is UF global, Administrator & Moderator groups, Prayer groups, messenger groups for the administrators and moderators, and groups in cities all over the world where people can gather and share information.  

Be broad-structured and decentralized

UF is broad-structured and diverse, yet integrated. We are a global family of ministries held together by shared purpose, vision, values and relationship. We believe that structures should serve the people and the purposes of God. Every ministry at every level has the privilege and responsibility of accountability to a circle of elders.

Be international and interdenominational

UF is international and interdenominational in its global scope as well as its local constituency. We believe that ethnic, linguistic and denominational diversity, along with redeemed aspects of culture, are positive factors that contribute to the health and growth of our mission.

Making donations
People from poor countries do ask frequently if we can donate money for their ministries. This is not our mission. We dispose our groups, in order people to create a network, where they can share their needs with others. That is all we can do so far. They have to develop their partnerships, create trust, make friends, gain confidence.

Unity generates strength. Big feats are rarely achieved alone.

1 Corinthians 1:10 NIV
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

The more people you add to the group, the more chance there is, that you guys can help each other,  the more potential there is to do things together.

If you do not add people, no results, if you use it a lot, there will come positive results. It's like planting..... if you do not plant, you will not collect. Same here.

Its like when you give a fishing rod to someone. To catch a fish, you need to use the tool.

So i am inviting you to join forces and create this Network. If you live for example in Bangalore, you can create a local Group United Faith Bangalore. We will administrate the various Groups, together with others which will join.

We will frequently download Christian literature and books, like Bible commentaries, Apologetics books, and Bestsellers,  which you can download and read for free for your edification.

Let us join forces and help to create this Network. If you live for example in Bangalore, we can create a local Group called: United Faith - Bangalore - India. I will be here to administrate the various Groups, together with others which will join.

My name is Otangelo Grasso. I am the founder and president of United Faith Global. Abbie and Austin Shiloh from Mission fleet are collaborators.

This group, has the goal to  unite local Pastors, Church leaders, and ministers, servants, evangelists, deacons, Youth leaders, and all that work and serve in and for  local churches, the various congregations localized at one City, closer together,  to share information of all sorts of kinds, that are related to the Christian, Protestant - evangelical confession of faith. This group and space is intended to promote a closer and frequent dialogue amongst the various local churches and denominations and its members, the organization of meetups, joining forces for local and regional evangelism campaigns, and all kind of activities which promote social interaction and the Kingdom of God. And as well, the publishing of photos, videos, and narratives of past and actual/current events.

It will be structured in a pyramid manner. There is United Faith Global, then divided in nations, states, cities, and neighborhoods. As for example United Faith U.S., New York, a sub-branch, United Faith Bronx, and so on.

Each Administrator can create and moderate a local group, so all groups are joined and interconnected altogether. Each Administrator / Moderator commits to communicate with other local Pastors, to join as many local Churches through their pastors and ministers at this place. So one can share information of any sort related to direction, organization, problem-solving, organize events together, inform others of specific prayer requests, and join forces to pray for specific issues etc. delined geographically.

So i am asking you to join forces and create this Network. If you live for example in Bangalore, you can create a local Group United Faith Bangalore branch, or, even a Group of the whole state Karnataka, the Group United Faith Karnataka, and administer various groups of that state which will be created. I will be here to administrate the various Groups, together with others which will join.

Its like when you give a fishing rod to someone. To catch a fish, you need to use the tool.

So i am inviting you to join forces and create this Network. If you live for example in Bangalore, you can create a local Group United Faith Bangalore. We will administrate the various Groups, together with others which will join.

We will frequently download Christian literature and books, like Bible commentaries, Apologetics books, and Bestsellers,  which you can download and read for free for your edification. 


Basis and formation of our worldview:
We from United Faith ( UF ) defend a theistic worldview. This worldview is not a result and based on blind faith, but a consistent elaboration of an epistemological framework, and based on that, including consideration of science, theology, and philosophy, made us come to the conclusion after a considerable investigation that Theism, and in particular the biblical faith and God are the most case-adequate answer explaining best our physical and spiritual existence and our origins.

A cumulative case for the God of the Bible
https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t1753-a-cumulative-case-for-the-god-of-the-bible

What we believe:
We believe that the Bible is God's authoritative and inspired word, and as such, as Timothy 3.16 says:

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Gospel is our core message: God loves humankind and wants to know each one of us,  and reveal Himself to us. But we have to surrender to his grace by faith, Humbly, believe in Him, repent from our godless life, and put our trust in Jesus Christ and his atonement to save us because we can't save ourselves. All who are justified also receive the gift of adoption and become children of God.

How you can get Saved!
https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t2501-how-you-can-get-saved

We bow and worship the triune God, God Father, God Son, and God the Holy Spirit alone. We are called to live in the center of the will of God and the orientation given in his word, the Bible. That includes sanctification, purification, fight and abandon sin by the power of the holy spirit. We are called to fulfill the great mission and commandment of Christ, to go to all nations and proclaim the Gospel, defend our faith, and witness what HE has done in our lives. We are called to unite in prayers to move Gods mighty arm, to receive HIS direction and guidance to move forward, and all kinds of blessings, protections, and interventions.

- The Bible is God’s inspired revelation written to us, and as such, divine authority, both, in total 66 books, of the Old, and New Testament ( we do not accept the apocryphal books ) our orientation in faith and life.
- The Old Testament was the covenant of the law, while the New Testament the covenant of grace. In the covenant of grace, God freely offered sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ.
- We believe, that baptism is not essential for salvation.
- We believe that Gods nature consists of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
- No further or additional or special revelation or human traditions are needed. We believe, scriptures only are enough
- We believe that true born-again Christians cannot be lost. But that is a personal interpretation, and we respect and see no problem if someone thinks or believes otherwise.
- We believe that Genesis is best understood as a narrative of historical facts, and not in an allegorical manner, but a literal creation of six normal days. We see no problem if someone believes the Earth is old. We do not agree with theistic evolution.
-  We believe that the true born-again Christian demonstrates his change of nature, true conversion, and presence of the holy spirit through sanctification, the dominion of sin is eliminated and sin is weakened and suppressed as the individual grows in holiness and obedience. In other words, by doing good works (actions done in obedience to God's commandments) do not save anyone, but are a sign of true conversion and true faith. We are saved to do good.
- Objective moral values exist, and the moral law expressed in the Old Testament remains valid. While true believers are neither "justified, or condemned" by the law, it serves "as a rule of life informing of the will of God, and our duty".
-  We reject Universalism,  a theological and philosophical concept that claims, that in the end, nobody will suffer eternal punishment, but all creatures will be saved.

Our mission:
When Jesus Christ came to fulfill his mission, the Roman Empire was established already for at least a couple of hundred years, and all over, roads had been built, which permitted fast traveling in all the empire. This was a reason, why the gospel was spread after Pentecost to all nations.  Today, new fast communication networks are being built, in special, social web enterprises, like in particular, Facebook. United Faith intends to explore the advance of the technology, and these new communication channels, to form a network of Facebook groups, to bring the Body of Christ closer together.

United Faith, has the goal to unite local Pastors, Church leaders, and ministers, servants, evangelists, deacons, youth leaders, pastors working with Orphanages, elderly houses, and that care with the homeless and in need generally, and all that work and serve in and for the local churches, to share information of all sorts of kinds, that are related to the Christian, Protestant - evangelical confession of faith. 

United Faith intends to promote a closer and frequent dialogue amongst the various churches and denominations and its members,  edification, encouragement, share prayer requests, fellow and discipleship, share books, the organization of meetups, joining forces for local and regional evangelism campaigns, and all kind of activities which promote social interaction and the Kingdom of God. And as well, the publishing of photos, videos, and narratives of past and actual/current events.   It has also the goal to broaden the inter-relationship of Group members with members of other United Faith local groups, nation-wide, and beyond the borders.

We are committed to know God better, and share our knowledge:

Who is God? Attributes of God
https://reasonandscience.catsboard.com/t1481-who-is-god-attributes-of-god

Structure
We want to chose and elect pastors and servants that wish to moderate United Faith ( UF ) groups for their respective cities, where they live, equipping and mobilizing them and giving a tool which will help them to grow their ministry. They can add friends, pastors of various churches to join, unite, come closer, know each one better, and join forces to make God known. There is UF global, Administrator & Moderator groups, Prayer groups, messenger groups for the administrators and moderators, and groups in cities all over the world where people can gather and share information.  

Be broad-structured and decentralized

YWAM is broad-structured and diverse, yet integrated. We are a global family of ministries held together by shared purpose, vision, values and relationship. We believe that structures should serve the people and the purposes of God. Every ministry at every level has the privilege and responsibility of accountability to a circle of elders.

Be international and interdenominational

UF is international and interdenominational in its global scope as well as its local constituency. We believe that ethnic, linguistic and denominational diversity, along with redeemed aspects of culture, are positive factors that contribute to the health and growth of our mission.

Making donations
People from poor countries do ask frequently if we can donate money for their ministries. This is not our mission. We dispose our groups , in order people to create a network, where they can share their needs with others. That is all we can do so far. They have to develop their partnerships, create trust, make friends, gain confidence.

Unity generates strength. Big feats are rarely achieved alone.

1 Corinthians 1:10 NIV
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

Let us join forces and help to create this Network. If you live for example in Bangalore, we can create a local Group called: United Faith - Bangalore - India. I will be here to administrate the various Groups, together with others which will join.

Admin

My name is Otangelo Grasso. I am founder, and president of United Faith Global.

This group, has the goal to  unite local Pastors, Church leaders, and ministers, servants, evangelists, deacons, Youth leaders, and all that work and serve in and for  local churches, the various congregations localized at one City, closer together,  to share information of all sorts of kinds, that are related to the Christian, Protestant - evangelical confession of faith. This group and space is intended to promote a closer and frequent dialogue amongst the various local churches and denominations and its members, the organization of meetups, joining forces for local and regional evangelism campaigns, and all kind of activities which promote social interaction and the Kingdom of God. And as well, the publishing of photos, videos, and narratives of past and actual/current events.

We do not pursue any financial aims. Neither to donate, nor to receive.

It will be structured in a pyramid manner. There is United Faith Global, then divided in nations, states, cities, and neighborhoods. As for example United Faith U.S., New York, a sub-branch, United Faith Bronx, and so on.

Each Administrator can create and moderate a local group, so all groups are joined and interconnected altogether. Each Administrator / Moderator commits to communicate with other local Pastors, to join as many local Churches through their pastors and ministers at this place. So one can share information of any sort related to direction, organization, problem-solving, organize events together, inform others of specific prayer requests, and join forces to pray for specific issues etc. delined geographically. The goal is to spread the Gospel, glorify our Creator, make HIM known to the nations, and do it as a joint venture, in a coordinated manner.

There are many discordances, doctrinal, and practical, amongst each church, and branches. There will be a general outline to be established. Churches that spread the prosperity Gospel, will not make part of the network. And so, of course, any sectarian movement which spreads falsehood, and not sound orthodox biblical doctrine.

So i am asking you to join forces and create this Network. If you live for example in Bangalore, you can create a local Group United Faith Bangalore branch, or, even a Group of the whole state Karnataka, the Group United Faith Karnataka, and administer various groups of that state which will be created. I will be here to administrate the various Groups, together with others which will join.

Start your YouTube Video Channel

Brothers and Sisters
many from countries like Africa and India have joined our United Faith group network, and we have opened FB UF groups for them. Some of you do run Orphanages, and various kind of ministries, that struggle with finances. One of the problems you face is the fact, that you have little resources to make your needs known, and to connect with who has financial resources to help. You have tools at your disposition to make your ministry and needs  known, which you did not have before.

One is to network with others through our Facebook groups. There is another powerful way. It is YouTube. If you have

1. A cell phone with cam, and 16 megabytes of storage capacity or more, and
2. Internet access, even if it's slow,.

You can start recording with your Cell phone and make small movies, 5min to 15min of length. Once you have material to be downloaded, you can start your own YouTube Channel. In order to do so, you need a Gmail - email account.

It is very easy to sign up for one:
