_Why Revival Rivers?

Prayers of repentance
The nations are raging, the earth is groaning and all that can be shaken is being shaken. The Church of Jesus Christ is knocked down but not out. Denominational church membership is declining. An estimated 1,500 pastors are leaving the pastorate monthly. There is an increase in moral failures from the pulpit. The divorce rate within the Christian Church is not statistically any different then those who claim no Christian faith! Christianity as we know it is becoming more irrelevant to this current generation than at any other time in our history. The way we have been “doing” Church has to change! Some where along the journey we have made our traditions sacred and lost our relevance to a dying world. The late Dr. Edwin Louis Cole would say, “High Gloss, Cheap Merchandise.” Doug Stringer explains it this way, “Even in the context of trying to become relevant in the Church, we have produced a form of Cosmetic Christianity that is full of gloss, yet lacks the fullness of the substance of the Kingdom of God. Like costume jewelry, it may look pretty and have great sparkle, yet will never be the authentic gems. It is of great importance that we contend for, and experience the magnificence of that which is authentic.”

Strategy

Through strategic relationships and a web-based World Prayer Force, Revival Rivers will:
  • EQUIP the body of Christ to stand and be an unshakable witness of Jesus Christ through combining the message of intimacy, consecration, humility and holiness, with fasting, prayer and action.
  • EMPOWER the body of Christ by coming along side and resourcing presence based transformational individuals, ministries, businesses and communities combing the message of intimacy, consecration, humility, and holiness with fasting, prayer, and action.
  • RELEASE the body of Christ into her destiny through the message of preparation (relationally, emotionally, spiritually, and practically) and consecration.
  • CALL the body of Christ to action through covenanted relationships and ministries locally, nationally, and globally.
