CONGRESS UPDATE · ATTRIBUTED REPORT

Apostolic Congress Reports Success; ICAF Shares Friday-Night Worship Recap

Published October 11, 2026 · Source captions received October 10 · AFI Editorial Desk

A statement signed by Presiding Bishop William L. Harris IV, Founder and General Chairman of the Apostolic Congress, describes the Indianapolis gathering as an “extraordinary success” and announces that Phase One is complete.

The statement reports an enthusiastic response from senior and younger Apostolic leaders, along with additional organizations, churches, bishops, and pastors joining the Congress. These assessments and membership claims are attributed to the statement; participation totals and a verified roster were not supplied.

Next phase: The Gathering of the Saints

The statement says Phase Two—“The Gathering of the Saints”—is moving forward. The supplied caption does not provide confirmed dates, a venue, registration information, or a detailed program for that gathering.

Supporting context: ICAF Friday-night worship

A separate caption labeled “Friday Night Recap | ICAF Conference 2026” celebrates Bishop Harris’s preaching and expresses gratitude for the worship and fellowship. The caption does not establish whether that service was formally part of the Apostolic Congress program. AFI therefore presents it as a separate conference recap.

Why it matters

These reports convey encouragement around fellowship, preaching, and cooperation across the Apostolic community. For pastors and churches, the next meaningful developments will be practical opportunities for shared ministry, resources, and participation.

What to watch next

AFI will follow documented ministry commitments, participating organizations, and confirmed arrangements for the Gathering of the Saints. The supplied Congress statement describes unity and cooperation; it does not announce an organizational merger or an adopted doctrinal agreement.

Sources and reporting scope

This report draws on two Facebook captions supplied to AFI by Dr. Alex L. Jenkins, Sr. on October 10, 2026. The Congress statement bears Bishop Harris’s name and title. Direct Facebook retrieval was unavailable; the original timestamps, video contents, and ICAF recap’s publishing account were not independently verified. Descriptions of success and spiritual impact reflect the supplied statements.
