Isaiah 12:5 “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth.
A group is rushing to finish an 11,600 seat arena in Jerusalem to host what could be the biggest Christian Pentecost Sunday celebration in the history of Israel.
The workers said they know the event could be huge and that “the Christians are coming.”
Empowered21 Global Congress is organizing the event that is scheduled to run through the 25th. Spirit-led leaders from around the world are coming to the Holy City such as Teen Mania founder Ron Luce and Samuel Rodriguez, Jr. of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.
William M. Wilson of Oral Roberts University, co-chair of Empowered21, called the event a “landmark.”
“This is a pivotal moment in history for the global Spirit–empowered movement,” said Wilson in a statement. “The Impartation service, which will pass the mantel of the global Spirit–empowered movement on to the next generation, is of particular significance. Our prayer is that this service will be a catalyst, igniting the hearts and minds of young people from around the globe with the fire of God’s love and power.”
“The Global Congress will be a powerful time of worship and ministry for Spirit–empowered Christians from every continent,” noted Empowered21 global co–chair George O. Wood. “We anticipate many changed lives as thousands of Spirit–empowered Christians gather together to seek God and bless the Holy Land.”
The group is moving into the event after a weekend event in Amman, Jordan which drew 1,000 Christians from 15 different nations.
