Apostle Generald Fleming, PhD
Presenter

Apostle Generald Quentell Fleming is the firstborn of, both, Rev. Gerald Porter and Sis. Erica Fleming. At a very young age, Generald received Christ and was baptized, through the ministry of the Reverend Ruby L. Hall, Senior Pastor of Miracle Deliverance Pentecostal Church, in Dallas, Texas. At the age of four (4), Generald felt the call of God upon his life, and preached his first sermon, “I’m Not Afraid of the Dark”, from Revelations 13:1-3. At this young age, he began to lay hands and prophesy, and congregations witnessed miracles of healing and deliverance take place. The prophetic move of God was very present, with accuracy and testimonies. He was accepted into the ordained ministry of Miracle Deliverance Pentecostal Church by the age of twelve (12). Over time, Generald found himself preaching all over, holding empowering services and numerous youth services and conventions. In 2005, Generald united with Breaking of Day Family Church, Int’l. (Apostle Donald E. Cleveland, Sr.) and Hannah’s Sons & Daughters Intercessory Prayer Ministry, Int’l. (Prophetess Frances Cleveland), where he would be trained to fully operate in intercession and the office of the prophet. In 2007, God gave Generald vision and mission to develop a personal ministry, Joshua’s Remnant Ministries, Inc., focusing on the integration of prayer as a tool of spiritual formation and discipleship within the local church’s Christian Education ministries and the individual lives of its members. Generald has served the Christian church across denominational lines and in various capacities. His educational pursuits have been numerous, most recently earning the Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology & Theology; Liberty University. In November 2023, Generald was affirmed in the office of the apostle and installed as the General Overseer of the Pentecostal Assemblies Covenant Fellowship, Inc., a conglomerate of 20+ churches and ministries across the U.S.A., which was organized in 2009. His apostolic succession rests in the lineage of Apostle Sherman C. Gee Allen, who was consecrated a bishop and affirmed an apostle by Bishop Liston Page, III, D.Min. Generald’s work has brought a definite and identifiable shift to the educational value and spiritual formation of its member churches/ministries, their leaders, and congregants. His greatest joys lie within creating safe spaces for leaders to heal, grow and learn, pushing them into the challenge of cultivating theological frameworks from whence to carry out the work of ministry. He loves God, and he loves the Church, with a heavy charismatic evidence.
