Bro. Schmaltz,
Some other Apostolic organizations that I am familiar with are:
1.  Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, Inc. (COOLJC)
2.  Church of God Apostolic  (COGA)
3.  Way of the Cross (WOC)
4.  United Way of the Cross Churches  (UWOCC)
5.  Bibleway World Wide  (BWW)
6.  Fire-Baptized Apostolic
7.  Highway churches Apostolic
8.  Church in the Lord Jesus Christ
9.  Apostolic World Christian Fellowship  (AWCF - this is a conglomerate of many
    ie  >175   other Apostolic organizations that come together every year to 
fellowship in a particular US city or another country)  

I had the chance to attend the last AWCF conference in Winston Salem, North 
Carolina, and I was overwhelmed.  Being an African American male, I was so used 
to going to conventions where I saw mostly those of my race.  I knew that there 
were other one God, Apostolic, tongue-talking, holy rollin', born again, 
heaven-bound believers in the power of Jesus' name people out there,but I had 
only seen a few.  At this conference, I was many blacks and whites as well as 
other nationalities Mexicans, Phillipino, Korean, Chinese, etc.  It was sooooo 
AWESOME.  The power of God was so mighty in that convention center it was as if 
the building was shakin' by the Holy Ghost.  There were many who were baptized 
in that adorable name of Jesus Christ and others received the Holy Ghost 
evidenced by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gave the utterance. 
It broght tears to my eyes and joy to my heart to see so many who didn't look 
like me but were just like me.  I know that there will be no color barriers in 
glory, and this experience was one of the closest experiences to glory that I 
have had.  Everyone was lifting up the name of Jesus Christ.  The choir was 
singing.  People were dancing in the Spirit.  Souls were seeking the Holy 
Ghost.  It was just a mind-blowing experience for me.  I pray I'll be able to 
make another one.  

BTW, was anyone on this list in attendance at the last AWCF who can attest to 
this?  Is there anyone else who has even heard of the AWCF?  What did the 
acronyms stand for in Bro. Schmaltz's post.  I know UPCI, PAW, & ALJC.  What did
the rest stand for?  

Hope this helped you, Bro. Schmaltz.  God bless you all.
