Spring Surge: Preparing for Pentecost...Restoration and Diverse Languages

With the current Covid-19 Crisis our congregations and faith leaders have had to adapt ministry both digitally and through social distancing. How will we create a vision beyond Easter Sunday (one of our biggest attendance and outreach days)? Pentecost would be the end of May and the time when many countries would begin to experience a Business Surge as well as a Spring Surge. The pouring out of the Spirit was not only manifested by the themes of Fire and Spirit, but diverse languages and dialects. This sign reminds us that the Gospel of Jesus is meant to be Global; crossing language, world view, and cultural boundaries to show the mighty works of God. As Luke began and ended at the temple...Acts began and ended in the home. The Christian movement can once again claim the cities of our world through homes, languages, and messages of power and hope.
