For Outreach purposes of course....

Sure, why not? After all, WWPF is just a fellowship of like-mined folks, right? Like a club!

I don't think the comparison stands.
The difference is motivation. Most UPC guys just are not all that motivated to go to a General Conference.
The minute you start an "anti" conference which is exactly what this is (whether anti tv, anti UPC or anti fresh air) you have some very motivated people.
Along with that you get a high percentage of rubber neckers.

i'm glad you said that about fresh air, cuz when my husband and i saw a certain minister that we had recently preached for on this new organizations website in a prominent position of course, we were not surprised. Less than 5 years ago he took a church of over 200 and now has about 70. Ran them all off because of his severity. His wife started telling me how them were disgusted because some of their saints still wore wedding rings and one of their members had committed the ultimate sin.....going to a tanning bed.

Sorry for the late response, Bro. Steve. I agree the 500 would be quite a base, but I think we are making the assumption that they are all pastors. Many of these could be individual ministers working withing their pastors church who may be in attendance as well. Or perhaps just ministers at-large.

Someone from Bro. Booker's church is posting on it.

From the blog:

If you don't know what the "Apostolic Summit" is all about, allow me to briefly fill you in.
My pastor, Rev. Larry L Booker, along with several other men of God have been in the process of forming a new "ministerial fellowship" for some time. The "Apostolic Summit" in Tulsa, Oklahoma (January 24-25, 2008) will be the first meeting of this new fellowship which has recently been given the name "Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship". (http://worldwidepf.org/)

I wonder how long "some time" is? lol
