El Shaddai
Austin, Texas
Over the last two weekends, EVUSA has completed the first two Revitalization Conferences (Anointing II) in Modesto, California and Austin, Texas. The worship has been anointed, the preaching has been powerful, the teaching has been outstanding, and the response has been overwhelming! In reality, these conferences have been two of the most successful events ever sponsored by EVUSA and have already had a significant impact on the key leaders who were in attendance. There will undoubtedly be a continuing “ripple effect” through multitudes of local churches for years to come. Modesto and Austin are the first-fruits of more wonderful things ahead as we move across the country with the remaining conferences in Prattville, Alabama and Goldsboro, North Carolina. Let us all continue to pray for “the anointing”!

Southeastern Zone
February 19-21
Destiny Christian Center
Prattville, Alabama
EVUSA has just completed the third Anointing II (Revitalization) Conference in Prattville, Alabama. Though the other two (Modesto, CA and Austin, TX) were great, Prattville was undoubtedly the most powerful conference to date. The “anointing” was present in an unusual way during the teaching sessions of Dr. Stan Toler and Dr. Conrad Lowe. On Thursday evening, Rev. Joey Elskey, pastor of Destiny Christian Center, and his ministry team, were mightily used of the lord as they shared the 21st century worship format they have been so successful in using to build a church of 1,200 members in 8 years. On Friday evening, Pastor Stacy Hilliard from Greenville, NC had everyone on their feet as he preached and prophesied under the “anointing”! The staff of Destiny Christian Center excelled in every possible way as they hosted their first major conference since moving into their beautiful new facilities. They were truly “anointed” to serve!
This quote from an e-mail I received from an attending pastor says it much better than I can:
Dear Dr. Carpenter,
I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative I am for all you and your staff have done for us this week. I can personally tell you that I have been transformed by these meetings and I am trembling with anticipation to share with the church the things God is stirring in me! I am so privileged to be a part of this great church called the IPHC!
The staff of EVUSA extends its deepest gratitude to all who have been so supportive in making the Anointing II Conferences a defining moment for the IPHC.

Northeastern Zone
March 6-28
The First Pentecostal Holiness Church
Goldsboro, North Carolina
The Northeast Zone Anointing II Conference met at the First Pentecostal Holiness Church in Goldsboro, NC this past week, Thursday Saturday. The event was the answer to the prayers of multitudes of people who have asked God to increase the spiritual momentum of the conferences as they progressed across the country. That has indeed happened beginning in Modesto, CA in January and concluding in Goldsboro with an exceptional move of God in every venue of the conference.
On Thursday evening, Pastor Jimmy Whitfield preached a transparent, heart-gripping message on “The Bumps, Bruises, Brokenness, and Breakthrough of the Revitalization Process” which concluded in a moving prayer ministry to over 100 pastors gathered on the platform of the church. On Friday, Dr. Stan Toler was mightily used of the Lord in his excellent teaching on The Vibrant Church and was complemented by the discerning, prophetic instruction of Dr. Conrad Lowe on Breaking Barriers the following Saturday morning. The personnel of the First Church excelled as they attended to every minute detail of the conference, provided an unbelievable meal for the Pastors’ Luncheon on Friday, and lifted the spirits of everyone present to wonderful heights of praising and worshipping God in each service with their highly gifted and greatly anointed music team.
However, it was obvious to all that the crowning moment of the weekend was on Friday evening when Presiding Bishop, James D. Leggett, preached a powerful, inspiring message as only he is capable of doing, reminding the people that Jesus said to “Look Up, For Your Redemption Draweth Nigh”! Multitudes flocked to the altar and wept before the Lord in response to the Bishop’s invitation to seek Him for encouragement in the midst of a discouraging world.
As you will see from the statistical report below, the response from pastors, preachers, Bishops, Evangelism Directors, and local church leaders was exceptional. Evangelism USA expresses its deep appreciation to every conference, local church, denominational ministry, and exhibitor who participated. We express special gratitude to the pastor, staff, and leadership of the four churches that hosted the conferences so graciously and expeditiously. We believe that a “REVITALIZATION SUNAMI” has been launched across the IPHC in America that will inundate our preachers and churches in revival and renewal. This will produce an unprecedented number of new converts and new church members in days ahead which will result in unparalleled growth! May we continue to agree in prayer for the future of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church!
