VISION OF UNTO FULL STATURE MINISTRIES

““The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.” – Luke 6:40 KJV

It is easy to agree with the first half of this word, but what about the latter part? A more modern translation states “but when he is fully trained, he will be like his teacher”.  This is the call that is upon every child of God: to become fully trained as… “unto full stature”.  These are not little children but “fully grown”, mature sons of God that have yielded themselves to the process of training and growth to be as the Master.

Further, God is seeking for this people, for those who desire personal growth and development, and to mature corporately as, “a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish”. Eph. 5:27

This church is to be a people who, as the apostle Paul states, are “…reaching forward to those things which are ahead,” and are “pressing toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”.  Phil 3:13-14

Thus, the vision of UFSM is for a Church that, in this hour, is growing up into full stature: “the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ”.  Eph. 4:13

This involves both an individual and a corporate (local church) calling.

INDIVIDUALLY 
Believers are called “to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Rom 8:29

CORPORATELY 
The Church is called to be “His Body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all.” Eph 1:23 God is working to equip and build up the Body under the headship of Christ

CORPORATELY – HIS BUILDING or TEMPLE
“In Whom (Jesus Christ) the building fitly framed together grows unto a Holy Temple in the Lord: in whom you are also built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit Eph 2: 21-22

CORPORATELY-  HIS BRIDE
“… that Christ loved the Church, and gave Himself for it, that he might sanctify it and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, and that He might present it to Himself a Glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish” Eph 5:25-27  This is a people who have given themselves toward a proper preparation so they might be made ready, as a bride for her husband.

This is the burden of Unto Full Stature Ministries: to develop in this day individual disciples and a corporate body with a vibrant passion to see God’s purposes fully established in their lives…moving beyond religion and unto the experiential reality of their high calling in Christ Jesus.

“Him we proclaim warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ!” Col. 1:28

our history

HISTORICAL TIMELINE, CALLING & MINISTRY – by Dan DeVitis

HISTORICAL TIMELINE, CALLING & MINISTRY
– by Dan DeVitis

The ministry, Unto Full Stature Ministries (UFSM), is quite recent in origin but dates back many years in conception.  1973 was the year I, and now some of the “older” members of my home church, began to fellowship with Sergio Valori of the Reading, PA area. Sergio was a very godly man gripped by a calling to exhort the Church towards maturity. Our relationship grew over the years and I began to relate to Sergio as a spiritual father in the faith.  Eventually there was a joining as one with his vision of the need for spiritual maturity in the Body of Christ. There just seemed to be so much “settling” and “instability” in the Church and among its members. Sergio’s heart was revealed through his messages and writings, as exemplified in the last book that he wrote, “On To Maturity.”  Other books, such as: “The Glorious Bride,” Ascent to Zion,” and “Perfection, A Neglected Theme,” all show consistency and focus of the vision, i.e., spiritual maturity or fullness of stature.

It was through Sergio’s semi-annual conferences, then called “Pastor’s Retreats,” that I was introduced to the ministry of Devern Fromke, author of the books “Unto Full Stature,” “Ultimate Intention,” and “Life’s Ultimate Privileges” to name a few.  Thus, the concept of spiritual growth and maturity for the believer and the church was reinforced and made even clearer and enhanced through these two brothers.  It was in these conferences we were brought into contact with other ministries such as George Warnock and Glady Eshwaraj of India who also embraced this vision in the work of their ministries.

In the early 1980’s I was one of a handful of brothers Sergio Valori gathered together to seek to develop a corporate entity that would promote this vision of spiritual maturity in conferences, church visitations, newsletters, and missions. Over the years this fellowship of ministries served this purpose in general, though pursuing other goals as well. It had become a more broad-based ministry.  It was not until the death of Sergio Valori in June 2015 that myself and some of the brethren, who were at that time very involved in this fellowship of ministries, felt the call to bring forth a new ministry.  This ministry would not only hold true to the vision upon the hearts of Valori, Fromke, and others but would endeavor to bring the reality of this vision into the working lives of the Church.  It would be a more focused ministry.
