The Unprecedented Becomes a Platform for Hope!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is not often that one has an opportunity to glean from some of the most respected Christian movements and the leaders of those movements in our nation and world who have gathered together in one place at one time, but that is what happened for two days in a hotel near Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas, on February 22 and 23, 2016.\u00a0 It is something like a dream, but more!<\/p>\n

As the heads of seven Pentecostal denominations came together to pray, collaborate, listen, share, and tackle some of the biggest issues that our world faces, the Holy Spirit moved in power, turning this moment in time into one of uncommon grace and purpose.\u00a0 Those seven leaders present for this strategic event were:<\/p>\n

    \nAssemblies of God<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The conversations included vital issues we all face and how <\/em>the Church may help to bring the answers of divine intervention to bear upon a number of critical concerns. Topics such as racial reconciliation and cross-cultural relationships, urban socio-economic conditions, education, the restoration of children and families, engaging the next generation to a rising hope and purpose, and the global conflicts and the adverse effects of terror and fear on this world.<\/p>\n

    The result<\/u>?\u00a0 The people of God must<\/u> be those who\u2014led by the Holy Spirit\u2014courageously choose to press in for answers, seeking peace in the face of these struggles, even at the cost of public opinion and personal comfort.<\/p>\n

    Action steps of intentional partnership were mutually agreed upon, with the expressed willingness of all to cross the boundaries of mistrust, fear and uncertainty to proactively pursue ongoing and deeper relationships with one another and the broader Body of Christ.<\/p>\n

    A direction<\/em><\/strong> has been forged, and a decision<\/em><\/strong> to partner together has been made by these key leaders that will create a fresh destiny<\/em><\/strong> of hope for our nation and world.<\/p>\n

    La convierte en una plataforma sin precedentes para la esperanza!<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nNo es frecuente que uno tenga la oportunidad de recoger de algunos de los movimientos cristianos m\u00e1s respetados y los l\u00edderes de esos movimientos en nuestra naci\u00f3n y el mundo que se han reunido en un solo lugar a la vez, pero eso es lo que ocurri\u00f3 durante dos d\u00edas en un hotel cerca de Dallas y Ft. Worth, Texas, el 22 y 23 de febrero de 2016. Es algo as\u00ed como un sue\u00f1o, pero m\u00e1s! A medida que las cabezas de siete denominaciones pentecostales se reunieron para orar, colabore, escuchar, compartir y hacer frente a algunos de los mayores problemas que enfrenta nuestro mundo, el Esp\u00edritu Santo se movi\u00f3 en el poder, convirtiendo este momento en el tiempo en uno de gracia poco com\u00fan y prop\u00f3sito. Esos siete l\u00edderes presentes en este evento estrat\u00e9gica fueron: \"Foto\r\n

Temas como la reconciliaci\u00f3n racial y las relaciones entre las culturas, las condiciones socioecon\u00f3micas urbanas, la educaci\u00f3n, la restauraci\u00f3n de los ni\u00f1os y las familias, con la participaci\u00f3n de la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n para una esperanza creciente y prop\u00f3sito, y los conflictos globales y los efectos adversos del terror y el miedo en este mundo. El resultado?<\/u> El pueblo de Dios deben<\/u> ser aquellos que condujo por el Esp\u00edritu Santo, con valor elegir para presionar en busca de respuestas, en busca de la paz en la cara de estas luchas, incluso a costa de la opini\u00f3n p\u00fablica y la comodidad personal. Pasos de acci\u00f3n de la asociaci\u00f3n intencional fueron de mutuo acuerdo, con la voluntad expresada de todos a cruzar los l\u00edmites de la desconfianza, el miedo y la incertidumbre para perseguir de forma proactiva relaciones continuas y profundas con otras y el Cuerpo de Cristo m\u00e1s amplio. Una direcci\u00f3n<\/em><\/strong> se ha forjado, y una decisi\u00f3n<\/em><\/strong> de asociarse juntos ha sido hecha por estos l\u00edderes clave que va a crear un destino<\/em><\/strong> fresco de esperanza para nuestra naci\u00f3n y el mundo.
