UPCI GENERAL CONFERENCE 2021
SEPTEMBER: “Month of Focused Prayer”
SEPTEMBER has been designated as the “Month of Focused Prayer” for the 2021 UPCI General Conference that is scheduled to occur October 5-8 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. This year’s theme is “BEYOND.” The United Pentecostal Church International is continuing to go above and BEYOND, as we embrace the mission to carry the whole gospel to the whole world by the whole church.
As we live in perilous times amid the coronavirus pandemic, civil and political unrest, terrorist attacks, and other surfacing global crises, 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.
Let’s get in one mind and one accord and render strategic focused prayer and be world changers. Some important areas of prayer focus during this time 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 during this time of crisis; to overcome the pandemic and other 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 take us “beyond” the blue, to a place of greater victory in Him!
Prior to General Conference, the “UPCI World Day of Prayer” will occur on Wednesday, September 29. Special fasting, along with prayer, also has been designated for September 28-30. 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! So, please join with us and others worldwide in a time of corporate prayer and fasting.
Thank you in advance for participating. This is a season in which many people are hurting, but yet many are seeing the hand of God helping and performing the miraculous!
We are expecting great and mighty things to manifest worldwide. Please pray for the great success of General Conference 2021 and, together, let's go BEYOND the ordinary to the...extraordinary, unto the glory of God!

“Beyond the Walls”
Whether we have had walls imposed on us or we have constructed walls that we think keep us safe; walls place limits on where we can go spiritually and physically. There are different kinds of walls. There are walls of unforgiveness, walls of fear, walls of self-doubt, walls of failure, and walls of hatred―to name a few. These are often constructed out of pain, sorrow, abuse, personal failures, and other negative life experiences. In order to keep moving forward, we must believe that there is something to strive for beyond the wall.
If one’s wall is or appears to be lifelong or lengthy, there is still something beyond those walls― something greater than the walls that separate, and more powerful and eternal, that is the Lord Jesus Christ, “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us” (Ephesians 2:14). In doing so, He has given all the opportunity to become part of a body of believers, who can offer hope to one another of a better life and eternity. Also, He removed the yoke of sin that held us back from Him, making us all one in Christ. No matter where we are, if we will seek God according to His word, “being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:7). We can rest assured that there is life beyond the wall.
God can remove whatever wall(s) that applicably exists as a barrier from us moving forward towards both positive temporal and eternal things in our lives.
PRAY:
- that all walls of unforgiveness are torn down.
- that any walls of fear are removed.
- that existing walls of self-doubt disappear.
- that walls of failure are eradicated.
- that any walls of hatred be destroyed.
- that every wall of ungodly hindrance is eliminated.
- that we reach beyond the walls to all that Jesus desires to give.

World Needs:
- Pray for America and its states as extreme weather is causing damage in New Orleans, and explosive floods in Tennessee that claimed 20 lives, and in the west, regions surrounding Lake Tahoe in California and Reno are having the worst air quality because of several large wildfires that are pushing the Air Quality Index as high as 694. The emergency health warning index for unhealthy air is between 300-500.
- Pray for military families who lost a loved one during the suicide bombing in Kabul where 13 marines and over 150 civilians died.
- Continue to pray for God's hand of protection during the pandemic. Cases have soared up to147,000 cases a day in the US.
