The OUTPOURING
On the last weekend in May of 2008 several men from the Hope Center felt drawn by the Holy Spirit to visit what the Lord was doing in Lakeland, FL. It is known now as the Florida OUTPOURING. While we were there, the Lord moved upon us in incredible ways. On our last day there we looked at each other and said, "We can't ever go back to the way things were before". We wanted to see this OUTPOURING hit our entire region and world.Well, when we traveled back by plane to be in town for our Sunday afternoon Service. Something wonderful happened. The presence of the Lord invaded the room and it hasn't stopped since. We soon realized we have to start getting this out and ministering to others. So after prayer the Lord opened up a door for us to start scheduling monthly OUTPOURING Weekends and to invite men and women who carry this Kingdom/Revival Anointing. The Lord has been doing great things through the wonderful servants He has been sending in (Matt Sorger, Heather Clark, Catherine Mullins, Roy Fields, Duncan Smith, Marguerite Evans, Rob & Kelly Augi, Stephen Strader, Adam Cates, Ryan Wyatt, Gordon Robertson, Jason Hooper, Josh Baldwin, Jeff Jansen, Brian Britton and the list keeps growing) and the OUTPOURING Services.
For over two years now we have been visited by the Holy Spirit in incredible ways. People are getting blasted by the Holy Spirit, Miracles are becoming a lifestyle and Believers are becoming who they were created to be in Christ. In Short, the Lord is building a KINGDOM CULTURE that is being powered by REVIVAL here in Hampton Roads. We are still seeking the Lord for a complete Regional OUTPOURING and look forward to what the Father has in store for this entire region. Who knows...this could be the week when all Heaven breaks loose over our region. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Your brother and servant in Christ,
