Why this Event?
In the changing world around us, we stand on the precipice of a great spiritual shift. More than ever, people are hungering for an authentic expression of faith and a true connection with their Creator. This event is prayerfully hosted to speak into this moment and to catalyze personal as well as regional transformation.
We want to equip believers from all walks of life and from all backgrounds to grow in the joy of the gospel, and to experience the transforming power of the Spirit.
