Why the Urban Christian Conferrence

The ministry of the Urban Christian Conference The formation of the Urban Christian Conferrence was to recognize the unique situations which people encounter within urban areas.  The work of the devil in such areas (his real and an evil force we still must contend with) is found with such subtlety that a "one size fits all" approach was not mandated by God.  Both the Rural Christian Conferrence and the Urban Christian Conferrence are mandated by God to bring Christians to PRAYER.  However, each has a focus that is unique to its own livng environment. The life of a person in close proximity to other people and more congregate settings has different implications than does spiritual warefare in a more rural setting.  The emphesis of the Urban Christian Conferrence is on the "outpouring" of the Holy Spirit amongst the congregations that name the name of Jesus within a city area.  Such an "outpouring" does NOT mean an endourcement of  "Glossalalia"  but rather the work of the Holy Spirit throughout that city or metropolitan area.   In all cases the true humilty of the individuals involved is what is stressed.  It is the total surrender to God and His will that must be the driving force amongst the "assemblies" of people coming together to pray for the Holy Spirit to enfuse their communities.  Repentance, restoration, and revival are components it is true, but within the urban area Charlie Knight (brother charles) sensed God was calling people to humble submission to God's will as the Holy Spirit would direct as they gathered together to pray. He (brother charles) has felt so inadequate for this task and so unworthy that he readily "put it off" for almost 3 decades.  However brother charles can find NO peace in life except for when he pursues the establishment of these ministries.  He seeks your input and guidance as God has communicated it to your after much prayer.  In addition to the focus on prayer and the supplication for God's Holy Spirit to permiate every aspect of city life, the ministry is to encourage its members to evaluate any "call" they feel they have from God.  Then, in 2009, action should be taken to respond to this call as the hours to work in the vineyard are few and night is soon approaching.

The commission to form the Rural Christian Conferrence (and later the Urban Christian Conferrence and the Combined Christian Conferrence) was given by God during the Pastor's Conference at Berkshire Christian College, March of 1981, and this statement of beliefs and proclamation of faith given during private prayer before an evening prayer meeting at Hephzibah Heights Bible Conference Center, July of 1981. There have been clarifications by God in the first 99days and where those changes are can be obtained by request. --- recorded by C.E.Knight (1982) and , transcribed by Alice Davis, 03-21-2003 (reviewed 06/06/2008)
Charlie Knight is seeking prayer and advice from Holy men and women of God about this “ministry” as he has delayed doing this for over 27 years trying to follow the advice of people who said he should not be so engaged.  But his life has crumbled, and those near and dear to him have died, and the family home and belongings as well as his health have deteriorated.

He now feels that his only path is to move out in faith to do this which so many have said he should not do, but he has NO peace or joy in his life unless he is so engaged. Please pray for charlie knight and tell him, through us, if God has given you a word of information about the direction in which he should labor in this vineyard.

*  The two components of the Combined Christian Conferrence are the Rural Christian Conferrence and the Urban Christian Conferrence.
    The Rural Christian Conferrence was to be established, as Charlie Knight understood it, to coordinate and found prayer groups that would pray for revival of God's people in the rural communities with all the emphasis and particular trials that such a community shares with other rural groups.
    The Urban Christian Conferrence was to be establlished, again as Charlie Knight understood it, to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon congregations within the urban setting and the energizing of these people of God with the particular temptations and trials that accompany living/existing/triumphing in a more-or-less cosmopolitan setting.
