2022 UPCI General Conference: Orlando, Florida

The 2022 UPCI General Conference is scheduled to occur October 4-7 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. This year’s theme is “MAKE HIM KNOWN.” The United Pentecostal Church International is continuing to “MAKE HIM KNOWN” as we embrace the mission to carry the whole gospel to the whole world by the whole church. 

As we live in this Endtime, it is critical that we pray more than ever. Let’s join together in fervent prayer to support this great conference and every aspect of the UPCI Church Body and constituency, and our world overall. Below are General Conference WNOP and Future Events.

Prior to General Conference, the “UPCI World Day of Prayer” will occur on Wednesday, September 28.Special fasting, along with prayer, also has been designated for September 27-29. Please participate in this three-day fast in whatever way you are led to by the Spirit of God. Your fervent prayers and sacrificial fast will make a temporal and an eternal difference! Remember, that during this time of consecration your prayers are more effective if your heart and mind is clean, clear, and ready to receive from God. Therefore, it is important to incorporate repentance, gird up the loins of your mind, and get dressed spiritually. Ephesians 6:10-18 says to put on the whole armor of God, and to pray. 

Let’s get in one mind and one accord to render strategic focused prayer and impact our world! Key areas of prayer focus will be to pray for God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done in earth as it is in heaven; to pray for the success of the conference; to strengthen our churches and ministers; to overcome any current challenges; to engage in repentance and stand in the gap for our world; to petition God for healing, deliverance, and great revival, restoration, and reaping of harvest … and all that God desires to do to advance us to a place of greater victory in Him! 

Thank you in advance for participating. This is a season in which the miraculous will greater occur! We are expecting great and mighty things to manifest worldwide. Please pray for the great success of General Conference 2022! Your fervent prayers and sacrificial fast will make a difference! This week’s ECHOgram focuses on prayer for this pivotal conference. We are expecting great things to manifest worldwide So, please join us in prayer as we believe the unbelievable, and watch the impossible, become possible through the Almighty Spirit of God!

The World Network of Prayer Presents

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2022, WNOP launched an annual 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide in coordination with our existing “Year of Prayer.” Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also weekly, a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer. We encourage your participation by joining in prayer.

Will you commit and join with others throughout the world in united prayer and fasting? Sign up by committing in your heart unto God that you will consistently set aside a day each week to do some prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”

SEPTEMBER 24/7 WATCH (WEEK 4)

National Issues: Human Trafficking

Following is the “24/7 Watch” daily prayer focus for this week. Join us in consistent prayer & fasting.

HOPE Ministry

HOPE Ministry began “90 Days of Prayer” with just a handful. It only took a few people from the Pentecostals of Alexandria (POA) with prodigals, to pray and believe in unity. 

In 2015, WNOP embraced HOPE Ministry. 

In 2016, Partners in Prayer partnered with HOPE Ministry. 

And we grew and grew. This is what we know. We are in 31 countries and 38 states. What we don’t know is what we don’t know ... how far-reaching HOPE Ministry has been and still is. We are grateful. 

Eight years of HOPE …

Prodigals 

Eternally

Here are a few snapshots that we are sharing of the goodness of God. Our experiences during our son’s prodigal years and his restoration have for sure known of His faithfulness. 

Time would not permit us to tell the nights and many years of pain, sorrow, and loneliness experienced as we waited for change. And yet we would have missed knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt, there IS a God and HE IS REAL, if that change would have come sooner, rather than later. We would have missed out on many crucial details of our growth in faith. It hasn’t been easy by far, but today we are thankful to share our story. Though it was a bit difficult when we first stepped out with our story, we have seen many glorious miracles.

Whether others believe or do not believe, whether they try to disprove or dismiss, it doesn’t matter when you KNOW. When no one could help, treatment centers failed, counseling failed, faith in what we KNEW to be truth, sustained. You cannot argue with an experience. Change came and so has restoration. He IS God and He IS love. 

Thank you to all who have decided to unite with us on this journey. Your prodigal is ours. That is how this ministry works. We are here to pray, fast, believe, cry, laugh, encourage, rejoice, and all things in between. We are HERE! 

We invite you to unite with HOPE Ministry once again to pray 90 days for our prodigals and those who love them on October 1 - December 29, 2022, as we pray and loosely follow the daily topics of the book, Prayers For Prodigals,by Dr. James Banks. Follow us on Instagram or FB @HOPE2Hope15 for more information. 

We also invite you to connect with us if you will be attending the 2022 UPCI General Conference. We will be speaking at a seminar Friday morning, October 7 at 10:30 am. Meeting you would be wonderful! HOPE Ministry information will be at the WNOP booth during the conference. 

Blessings,
