PAST REVIVAL
When we hear the word “REVIVAL”, we expect it to be of generations long past but not so of our piece today.
The WHATCOM REVIVAL is of the 21st Century. How interesting!
Let us see what God did in Whatcom, a county of 90,000 people in Washington DC in the United States of America.
Viola Riebe recalled, “one night, I was in church and I heard a prophecy that God would move by his Spirit over the native north-west tribes of the United States, it would be like a tsunami, gaining in power, moving from the natives to other churches”.
This prophecy came to pass in 2008.
In 2008, the Church in Whatcom County had a vision to build and strengthen “canopies of united, strategic and sustainable 24/7 prayers. They also believed that “every significant move of God in history was preceded by fervent and united prayers”.
This vision and belief of theirs was so strong that it wrought mighty things in their midst.
