Why Is The Orange County Prayer Breakfast Important?
Orlando is a vibrant and diverse community. There is so much for which we can be grateful. And God is at work all over our region in magnificent ways. And yet, the needs in our community are great as well. As the people of God, the ekklesia, we have a responsibility to be “salt and light” in our community, and to “seek the welfare of our city.”
We believe that city transformation is not only possible, but it is God’s desire. Transformed cities come from transformed people who determine to not only love God, but also to love their neighbors, and even to love their enemies. We believe that this process of “seeking the welfare of the city” begins as each of us begin to build bridges of relationship with one another, across cultural, theological, political, racial, and generational lines.
As the “ekklesia,” in our city, we know that which binds us together, our love for Jesus, is much greater than those things which tend to separate us. So, the Orange County Prayer Breakfast is an opportunity for a wide cross section of the ekklesia in our city to come together, in the spirit and name of Jesus, to seek the welfare of our city, and to begin to build relationships with one another as we pray together for our city.
As we do this, the promise and intention of Jesus, for his sons and daughters to come together in unity and oneness, can begin the process of transformation in our community.
Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.” John 13:35

Dr. George Cope
Reverend, Doctor, Bishop
One of "10 People Who Make Orlando a Better Place"
-Orlando Sentinel, August 2024
A number of dynamic community leaders will share the platform to engage us together in prayer, after which Dr. George Cope will speak. Dr. Cope was born into an Assemblies of God pastor’s home where he learned to know God through dedicated parents who “practiced what they preached!” This rich heritage has become his most valued possession as a husband, father, and ministry leader.
​
Growing up, Doctor Cope struggled with dyslexia, a learning disability that caused family and emotional frustration. With no known professional help at that time, only God could make a difference. At the age of thirteen God called Doctor Cope into full-time ministry. It was then his life turned around because of God’s call and a supernatural healing of mind and emotions.
​
Doctor Cope attended Central Bible College in Springfield, MO where he received a B.A. degree in Biblical Studies. In his 40’s Dr. Cope felt lead to pursue his masters degree in leadership studies at Vanguard University, Costa Mesa, CA. Upon completion, he enrolled at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Boston, MA, where he earned his doctorate in New Testament Leadership.
​
Doctor Cope has pastored four churches, was president of Zion Bible College and served on various boards and denominational leadership roles. He has traveled to fifty countries outside the Continental United States in ministry. In addition to being the Church Network Director Emeritus at Vision Orlando, Doctor Cope currently works with CityServeX, developing and implementing a model for training local communities how to unite Government, Business, Non-profits and Faith communities to serve the underserved.
​
For the past fifty-three years, Rev. Cope has been married to his wife Cheryl. They have a married daughter, Jessyca, and three grandchildren.
