Jerusalem2020 will alsobeagianthomecoming
for people in the Spirit-empowered movement.
We expect every continent will be represented
with top-tier leaders from across the globe.
Christians in this movement love Israel and
pray for Jerusalem regularly, so it’s thrilling to
have the opportunity for people from nation
after nation to come together in unity and
prayer for Jerusalem, in Jerusalem.
We are very grateful for the nation of Israel
and its stand for religious freedom that will
allow us to celebrate Pentecost in the city of
Pentecost as Christian believers. We deeply
appreciate this privilege and pray God will
continue to keep Israel free and strong.
Four years ago, Empowered21’s Jerusalem
2015 Global Congress brought together one
of the largest gatherings of Christians in the
history of modern day Jerusalem, and we
are expecting Jerusalem2020 to be an even
larger gathering. Groups and individuals
can find out more information and register
at Jerusalem2020.com, with many groups
taking tours of Israel after the congress.
I was recently asked what I would say to
someone who has never been to Israel before,
and my response was both quick and simple:
“You must go!” Going to Israel, even for just a
few days, feels like the educational equivalent of
an entire semester of college. The Bible comes
alive before your very eyes. Add to that the
experience of joining thousands of other Spirit-
empowered Christians in worship, prayer,
and exhortation through Jerusalem2020, and
you’re looking at something truly life-changing.
You’ll have an encounter not just with scripture
and not just with history, but also with the heart
of God.
I look forward to seeing you at Jerusalem2020.
Your life will never be the same!
