Voice

Revival, healing, and a place to start again

It is our desire to bring revival to those who are hungry for God. Along with revival, we bring healing and reconciliation to hurting people. We have a passion to reach the ones who have walked away from God for whatever reason. We show people everyday that GOD LOVES THEM in tangible ways. We introduce people to our Father God who deeply desires a close personal relationship with each and every one of us. God has not given up on you, so we can not give up on each other! We have found that the best answer to the problems we all face today is JESUS! Everything we do, we do in His Name and for His glory.

It is our vision to bring revival to those who are hungry for God. Along with revival, healing and reconciliation will come to hurting people.

Power Encounters

Holy Spirit meetings, as an offer

Music

One instrument God has given is music

It’s the music that opens the hearts of the hurting. It’s the music that gives us a common starting place. We use the songs the Lord has given to us to show that God Is There, and that He loves us! We know that NOW is the right time to START AGAIN! Jesus is there, arms open wide to welcome us back. God does not hold a grudge.

Just as in the story of the prodigal Son, Our Heavenly Father welcomes us with open arms and all of heaven rejoices when we give our lives to Him!!
