Messengers of Hope exists for the purpose of being a catalyst in the hands of God to bring a message of revival and awakening to churches and communities in North America and to train and mobilize lay people toward the task of world evangelization.
igniting the fire
We believe that revival is the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit and that Jesus is at work preparing the church for His soon return (Ephesians 5:25-27). Sharing the Biblical principles of revival and calling God’s people to an appropriate response of brokenness, repentance and reconciliation is often used by God to ignite the fires of revival.
