Church planting is a spiritual activity<\/strong> <\/span>– most effective when it is\u00a0a grassroots<\/span> movement.\u00a0<\/span>The “early rain” of the Spirit was poured out on all\u00a0who were praying for it – at Pentecost. About 120 were praying, all in one location, in Jerusalem. As a result, about 3,000 others were baptised and received His anointing. Just as Jesus died and rose once, so the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost day – and has been present on this earth since, working in the hearts of people. Since then, we have lived in the era of the Holy Spirit<\/em>. <\/p>\n

But, what if around the globe, people were praying for the outpouring of the “latter rain” as believers started new missional initiatives and church plants for their unchurched friends? It is not that the Spirit is not present. He has come. But we are so unmindful and neglectful of Him. If we connected with Him, where would the rain of His presence and power fall? Where would the Spirit descend? Would He not lighten the entire globe with His glory? Is this not what has been prophesied to happen according to Revelation 18:1-4?<\/span><\/p>\n

We will be regularly\u00a0adding new ideas here for you\u00a0& your church plant to experience the Holy Spirit’s annointing. <\/strong>C<\/span>heck out the ideas to the right or simple click on the following –<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
