Revival
The significance of revival, biblically and in terms of contemporary culture, particularly in the Global South. The divine touch that awakens, sets apart and equips a holy people to serve God’s purposes. The cycle of revival that transforms our allegiances, turns us away from idols, towards the Living God, enabling us to receive his power, particularly in regard to intercession and mission, in order to reap a harvest of faithfulness, in the cultural contexts wherein he has called us to be his priestly people.
