How it all started...
Pastor Caspar McCloud was ordained the 26th June 2001. A week later, he was asked to share his testimony and play some of his music at a church service in South Georgia. However, the Lord had a bigger vision and plan for him. On the 3rd July 2001 he received a miraculous healing from an "incurable" heart disease, which was medically documented after he collapsed without a heartbeat during the worship service. A medical doctor and nurse present declared he no longer had a pulse. A local pastor prayed for Pastor McCloud and commanded the spirit of death to leave him, in the Almighty Name of Jesus, and he was miraculously brought back from the dead, 100% healed and medically documented. [Matthew 10:8, " Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."]
In 2003, TBN released a documentary on Pastor McCloud's testimony on a show called Night of Miracles. Pastor McCloud later published his first book, titled Nothing Is Impossible, detailing what ingredients go into manifesting diseases and what steps one may take before the Lord Jesus to fully recover. Pastor McCloud's popular book What Was I Thinking? co-written with author Linda Lange explains further, from a biblical perspective, how thoughts affect our minds, spirits, souls and bodies, incorporating the scientific research of epigenetics.
In 2008, Pastor McCloud was asked to share his biblical understanding and insights with a group of doctors and their patients at a medical building in Roswell Georgia. One patient there left that meeting and no longer suffered with cancer after prayer was administered. There were many healed and restored in those early meetings and soon the doctor in charge gave Pastor McCloud the upstairs conference room to hold weekly church meetings. This is where the Upper Room Fellowship (URF) was born.

Expanding the vision...
People began attending the URF on Sunday mornings at the Medical Building in Roswell, Georgia as word spread that people were being healed and restored, and miraculous things were happening. Broken marriages, businesses and relationships were being restored.
In introducing Pastor McCloud people would often say he had a healing and deliverance ministry. But Pastor McCloud would gently remind them he was actually in relationship ministry, and that when we come into proper relationship with the Lord Jesus/Yeshua, healing and restoration are very often the results.
Today, the URF is equipped with a capable team of individuals that are able to help minister to all who are in need.

Where we're headed...
Into the end-times
The URF exists for the purpose of advancing the Kingdom of God, healing the brokenhearted and connecting with the supernatural power of God through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. [Luke 4:18, Isaiah 61:1-3 , 1 Corinthians 12] Also, URF believes in preparing the body of Christ for the End Times, reaching out with the Gospel internationally, healing the sick, and setting people free. [Mark 16:15-20] We are here to help equip the Saints through preaching and teaching, to minister the Word of God Almighty, and pray for healing and deliverance for people, as needed.
"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." [2 Corinthians 5:20]
We are wholly committed to advancing the Kingdom of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
