Thanks for posting this.
We established a church there years ago.
Wow..great report. The growth of new Christians in China, Africa, Indonesia, and India is off the charts too.
What does a prophetess do?
John 14:14
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
"I don't know much about the Bible, but I do remember a sermon that said "in the last days there would be a great movement of the holy spirit." or something like that.
perhaps this is a sign.."
I hope the Holy Spirit moves on Washington first.
I've been looking for an evangelical Church like I went to in my childhood. Have they gone underground or just folded all together. I want a Church that preaches to all of us sinners and presents Jesus as the only "cure". Every Church I've been in in the last 30, maybe 40 years, tickle the ears of their congregations. That is sinful.
Prophesies/Preaches
Remember, in Acts Chapter 2...."your sons and daughters shall prophesy..."

I don't mean to offend, but I'm Catholic, and believe me, the priests in my parish don't "tickle the ears of their congregations" (nice phrase, btw), they tell it like it is.
Ping, Ladies, to a post with a different viewpoint on the progress of Christianity...
2 years ago our church partnered with a church in Brazil and since that time they have sent us 2 missionaries to help spread the gospel here in the US. At one time, the US was the leader in sending out missionaries...now the legacy of all that is...missionaries are being sent back to us to help us get back on track. Our country appears to have forgotten God, but He has not forgotten us.
Oh I forgot to add that since they have been here we have seen our little church double in size.
Now that we have returned to the southwest, I find that main-stream Baptist churches (and pastors) here present the Gospel much as you (wistfully) described. Regretfully, I can't say the same for their northern-State counterparts -- at least not as consistently...
Yep, GOD has his work cut out for him.
you folks on this thread are a scary lot...
