At our General Conference this past fall, I was shocked with surprise when my District Superintendent, Rev. Stan Davidson, notified me that my name had been nominated for the Southeastern Regional Executive Presbyter.  I was even more surprised and honored to be voted into the two-year term which officially began in January.  One of the first assignments that I had to fulfill in this position was to attend the Executive Board meeting in St. Louis beginning this past Monday night (3/2/15).  This was followed by two days of General Board meetings all day Tuesday and Wednesday (3/3-4/15).  The General Board meetings went very well with the high point being on Tuesday night when the Spirit of the Lord moved into the N. A. Urshan Board Room.  A massive prayer meeting broke out among the leaders of the UPCI with the gifts of the Spirit in operation and lasting right at an hour.  I believe the entire constituency of the UPCI would have been greatly encouraged to have witnessed this.  There were leaders praying with and for each other and followed by some very powerful testimonies of what God is doing in our fellowship.  There is a lot of momentum and unity among us.  I heard several men who have been on the General Board for 30-40 years say they have never witnessed or experienced anything like this in all of their years of service.
