We thank God for His blessings on our recent General Conference in Orlando, Florida. Every service featured tremendous worship, anointed preaching, and a powerful demonstration of the Spirit. We are grateful for everyone who participated, including musicians, singers, service leaders, speakers, and the many people who worked behind the scenes to make the conference a success. We also appreciate all our ministers and constituents who came together to worship, pray, give, and celebrate what God is doing around the world through the UPCI.
We received many positive comments about the conference, including the following:
- Pastor Mark Foster called it “a historic conference,” noting, “Every message dovetailed together.”
- Former West Virginia District Superintendent Edwin Harper described it as “probably the best conference that I ever remember attending.”
- “General Conference was absolutely magnificent from the beginning,” said Evangelist Doug Klinedinst. “It just feels like we are ready to go forward.”
- Former North Carolina District Superintendent David Elms said, “I felt an unprecedented apostolic shift at this General Conference and am so excited about it.”
- Pastor Mike Williams of the Pentecostals of Apopka stated, “As a local pastor, I was so happy for the people from our church family to be part of such a mighty meeting and see first-hand the many ministry endeavors of this great fellowship.”
- Virginia District Superintendent Jack Cunningham said, “There’s never been in my lifetime, a General Conference end in such an unmistakable, genuine, and powerful demonstration and flow of the Holy Ghost. What God designed for this conference happened according to His will.”
- Assistant General Superintendent Darrell Johns noted, “The 2022 General Conference in Orlando, Florida, was threatened by a hurricane but ended with a flood of God’s presence. This was a significant, pivotal moment for the UPCI that will have a lasting impact on revival around the world.”
“This was a significant, pivotal moment for the UPCI that will have a lasting impact on revival around the world.”

Attendance was higher than any General Conference in recent memory, with more than 18,000 registrations and an estimated 10,000 or more in peak service attendance. More than 147,000 people watched at least part of the conference on Facebook, and General Conference services have more than 163,000 views on YouTube. The UPCI website and Discipleship Now also streamed the services live. These statistics continue to increase as viewers watch the archived services.
You can watch all General Conference services on the UPCI’s YouTube channel or on Discipleship Now, including the General Superintendent’s Service and the Friday evening service highlighting the importance of the fivefold ministry. A playlist of prerecorded General Conference seminars also is available on YouTube. Additional seminars are being added as they are made available. DVDs, CDs, and other media can be purchased at PentecostalPublishing.com or by calling the Pentecostal Publishing House at 866-819-7667. I especially urge everyone to view the Friday night service.
Sincerely in Christ,
