Course Description:

This course explores the expectation and nature of global revival and the missional implications. Biblical, historical, and prophetic aspects of global revival are considered. The current revival and growth of the Church in Indonesia, the “Third Pentecost”, is highlighted as evidence of global revival. The course establishes that authentic revival is a sovereign move of God to empower and impel His Church for His missional purposes – i.e. to gather His Harvest. Discussions include the difference and connection between revival and “Awakening”, and the practical applications of gathering Harvest, including evangelism, discipleship and church planting.
