One man who was a member of another church organization needed healing in his body.  He had been praying and no relief had come.  He was at home and an advertisement came across his radio, saying, "If you will go to the UPC, the Lord will heal you."  He went by faith, and several of the pastors were at the church when he came.  Prayer was made.  He was healed and also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.  He then testified, "My radio has not worked in two years and was even unplugged the day of the advertisement, but the Lord was speaking to me, and He will speak to you, if you will listen."

Conference attendees were humbled by the dedication of twenty-one young people (between the ages of 14-25) who came to the Conference.  This group traveled sixty-five miles one way, for twelve hours by road in the heat using seven bicycles with three youth on each bicycle.  They each took turns pedaling while the other two would rest, all to make it to the conference.  The conference crowd honoured the youth for their sacrifice with an offering to help fourteen of the twenty-one go back by bus.
