The yearly Uprising gathering is coming up on Thursday, June 30th through Saturday, July 2nd.
Uprising is a gathering of young people who seek to set standards, as Jesus has called us to be standard setters apart from this world by “seeking first His Kingdom and righteousness”.
Bernie Sanders’ astonishing run for presidential nomination has shown that young people will rise to become standard setters when there is a cause, a community of like-minded people, and a platform to organize them. Even being “out-of-style” by two generations with an “out-of-style” socialist agenda, Bernie Sanders was able to upend powerful political traditions through young adults with “Berning” passion to set a new standard.
The Church is already a community of like-minded people that has a cause — a Kingdom cause much greater than any political agenda. And we believe that when our young people are enabled with the right platform, they can become standard setters that will turn the world upside down.
Uprising’s call is to become a platform that can organize the creative energies and convictions of our talented young people, providing them a framework of leadership, mutual collaboration, and accountability. Through message, praise worship, and fellowship, Uprising will strive to establish an environment where these young people can connect with one another in the Holy Spirit. And in that, they will see a clearer vision of their collective destinies as standard setters set apart from this world – setting Kingdom standards in their pursuit of education, career, wealth, relationships, and everything that defines “success”.
Jesus promised us that when we strive to set the standards of His Kingdom and righteousness, we will see everything that the world runs after also be given to us. In other words, setting and living by Kingdom standards is the only true answer that this world is “Berning” for. So if you know of young people (including yourself) who are BURNING to set a new standard, please consider supporting them to join the Uprising gathering.

MTC 2015 – eartHEaven – Ministering to Our Children
We would like to share with you a note below from Pastor Mike and Marilyn Seth, our partners in ministering to the children during MTC. Pastor Mike and Marilyn will also minister with the adults through their sharing on the “Culture of Honor”.
Please join us.
—
Dear Parents and Leaders,
We are so honored and excited to be invited to minister to your children during the MTC conference. Our theme, “Uniqueness and Unity” promises to be a week of encountering the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that will equip and release children into their destiny and a lifestyle of Kingdom living.
Our Heavenly Father has chosen us, His body, to represent and demonstrate His goodness, love and power to a hurting world. Our purpose is to fulfill the very words of Jesus’ prayer, “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.’(Matthew 6:11). We can accomplish this as we walk, not only in our own individual uniqueness, but also as we walk together in unity, love, and value for one another.
Lessons will be focused on how we can learn to walk in unity by:
- Knowing how much our Father God loves and values us.
- Understanding that each one of us is a unique piece of a puzzle, that makes up one picture.
- Learning how forgiveness brings freedom to all.
- Speaking God’s words(prophecy) to one another.
- How honoring others helps us to discover the treasure in people.
- Being a friend like Jesus
- The need to have a strong godly character to walk out our destiny everyday
Each session will be a time of teaching and imparting Biblical truths in fun and impacting ways. Your children will be involved in these lessons, spend time soaking in God’s presence, journal about their encounters, play games, learn Bible verses , worship, and have fun!
God is good, and when children learn of His goodness and love for them personally, they will develop a strong affection for their Heavenly Father. This affection for God will then be directed outward to those around them, family, friends and those in the world.
Please join us in praying that God will have His way, and that this conference will be one of revelation, empowerment, and transformation for our children.
Blessings and joy,
Mike and Marilyn Seth
MTC 2015 – eartHEaven – Test of Faithfulness
For the past twenty-one years, God has given us MTC as one of His vehicles to prepare Christ’s Bride, to prepare Her as a steward who can be entrusted with authority that influences the world’s governments and economies. The Church must expect to exercise such authority if we are called to make disciples of nations. And our ability to succeed in that great commission rests on our ability to successfully steward our authority.
Stewardship is built upon obedience and humility. God has used MTC to impart to us those disciplines – by testing our perseverance and putting our passion, that is often mixed with ambition, to the refining fire. God has not led us to build MTC into a mega conference with all the exciting incentives to draw large crowds. But year after year, one generation after another, He asks us the same questions, “Are you faithful to my call? Do you serve my Bride with unselfishness and humility? Can I entrust you with greater authority?”
God has blessed MTC with excellent programs and powerful experiences of praise worship. But the undercurrent for all of these is His intent to prepare Christ’s Bride as a faithful steward of authority. So we invite you to take hold of the opportunity that God has prepared, and come drink together from this 21 year wellspring that has weathered the test of time and generational connection.
For a groom, no one else is more important to him than the bride and their preparation for marriage. For Jesus, nothing is more important to Him in all creation than His Bride and her preparation. Our hearts burn for a Bride who is pure and without blemish.

MTC 2015 – eartHEaven – a Banquet
MTC2015, our 21st session, is about a month away and we would like to share with you some exciting details about this year’s gathering:
- Mike and Marilyn Seth, who God used in great ways to help build the Bethel Church ministry with Bill Johson, will join our team once again in ministering to our children, parents, and all who long after a deeper touch of the Holy Spirit.
- In addition, God has given us another double blessing by bringing back Joon Hwang to ignite us in the Spirit’s fire, Fred Lin to offer us insights for living as a market place witness, and Robby Dawkins to deepen our faith as we take up the Joseph, Moses, David, and Daniel callings of our generation.
- And for our second generation, we have Tim Brasic back with us – to once again impart the example of excelling in this world by living out Christ’s heavenly value system.
- Most importantly, please intercede with us by visiting the MTC prayer page. The prayer topics are prepared and updated weekly by our prayer team. We strongly encourage you to connect-in for the next 4 weeks and beyond in interceding for God’s Kingdom work among us.
Please register through this link.
Also, reserve your room at the deeply discounted Marriott rate at this link.
Last and not least, our beloved “Auntie” Mei-Lien will travel from Taiwan to minister with us this year. MTC started in 1995 by the Kingdom messages the Holy Spirit spoke through her. Now twenty-one years later, we stand in great anticipation of a renewed touch of the Spirit through her ministry. Many of us have greatly benefited from our “Auntie” over the years. As such, it would greatly encourage her to see you again and to share with her about your Kingdom journey.
For this Jubilee year, we look forward to a time of renewal, reconnect, reconciliation, and seeing heaven’s mercy manifested here on earth.
MTC 2015 – eartHEaven
MTC2015, our 21st year, is coming up in November 25th – 29th.
Over the years, God has used MTC as a platform to equip us, to connect us, to speak to us, to inspire us, to test our faith, to refine our hearts, and ultimately, to prepare His church for the coming great harvest. By His grace, we are seeing our 3rd generation beginning to serve in supporting MTC. And we believe that from this Jubilee year, God will elevate us to a season of great renewal in unity and authority. In that, we invite you to stand with us on this 21-year foundation of faithfulness, and be touched by the Holy Spirit with a fresh impartation to carry forward His Kingdom commission.
Uprising 2015 – An Invitation from Pastor Li Tai
Hey Everyone – It’s coming quickly in just a couple of weeks! If you haven’t registered yet for Uprising 2015, you can go to www.uroth.org to find more information and finalize your plans! Every year we’ve been having great encounters with the Holy Spirit as we look into His Word, exalt Him through praise worship and encounter Him through times of prayer ministry. Come and find the call of how the Lord is leading us to “REUNION” – becoming people who are a part of heaven expressed here on earth.
If you can’t make it because of costs, don’t worry, it’s free (we’ll be taking love offerings).
If you need a place to stay, let us know and we’ll find a nice place for you to sleep and shower for those few days.
If you say “I’ll only come if they have a BBQ” – guess what? We’ll be having a BBQ on August 2nd after our Sunday Celebration!
In all seriousness though…we’re gathering together not for a speaker, not for a praise band, not even for the experience but because we’ve been called. The Church is the point of heaven invading earth, our call is to be a part of flowing in this “reunion”. Click the link above, come meet with us over these few days to be refreshed, refocused and equipped to be sent out for His kingdom cause.
Blessings.
Pastor Li
Uprising 2015 – Reunion – On Earth as it is in Heaven
Uprising 2015 is coming up quickly (7/30 – 8/1). You may follow this link to register.
Uprising is our response to God’s call to raise up a “Daniel” generation – a generation with a burning passion to bring about a reunion of heaven and earth.
Like Daniel, many of our young people today have had some of the best training in “Babylon”. Also like Daniel, God has called many of these young people to places of influence where they will “shine like stars in the universe”. They will be a people not for themselves, but ones whose hearts are set on witnessing for Christ at all costs.
Raising up the “Daniels” can only come about by a genuine touch of the Holy Spirit. This is why Uprising’s activities will not center around a certain program format, star speakers, or worship music. Uprising’s pursuit will simply be an atmosphere of “reunion” that can usher our young people into a deeper communion with the Holy Spirit – to drink in a fresh vision of their “Daniel” call.
This is our anticipation. We hope you will join us.
Welcome to Uprising 2015!
MTC 2014: Connecting the Generations – On Earth as it is in Heaven
God has always led MTC to set a priority in connecting the generations.
Over the years, we have maintain a steadfastness in fully engaging our second generation with all aspects of ministry – in culture and language, even though it may seem inconvenient at times. Moreover, we hold a strong conviction in focusing generous resources to our young people because we believe such is the value system of bringing heaven on earth. This year, the Lord has blessed us with one of the best minister teams for children and their parents – Pastor Mike and Marilyn Seth.
Mike and Marilyn are founders of “Kids In His Presence Ministries” and are producers of “God-Friendly” resource materials. Mike has authored, “Here Comes Heaven”, a children’s version of “When Heaven Invades Earth” by Bill Johnson.
Please follow this link for details of the MTC Children’s Program with Mike and Marilyn.
In addition to ministering with the children, Mike and Marilyn will also minister to the parents and anyone who has a heart for the next generation. They will share their experiences and insights on topics like:
God’s Blueprint for a Kingdom Home,
Preschoolers in Papa’s Presence,
and my favorite…
