Have you heard the story of a young man who found a genie-in-a-bottle? This young adult is walking down ...read more

    The individual believer, the church, and the nation, lives or dies by revival. Since we are living in a fallen state, without a recovery process we would eventually erode. We can be very grateful that God installed a process whereby we can be rejuvenated, given new hope and strength to go forward ...read more
