Spring Evangelism
Evangelistic revivals and campaigns (English and Spanish) have begun across our conference territory with the gospel of Jesus Christ being preached with power and conviction! Many individuals have accepted Jesus as their personal Savior and have been baptized! Praise the Lord!
Beginning April 13, 2024, history will be made as a new church ministry will be launched in Dallas, TX (7710 S. Westmoreland Road, Dallas, TX) with the consolidated memberships of the City Temple, Faith Temple, and Agape churches serving as the base membership for this new initiative called “The Dallas Project.” The launch of “The Dallas Project” will include a major evangelistic revival from April 13-27, with yours truly serving as the Evangelist, and gospel recording artists, Kim Burrell and Kierra Sheard Kelly, sharing their music ministries on Sabbath, April 13th, at 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM respectively. Please pray for a mighty move of God on “The Dallas Project” and all of our evangelistic revivals. We truly believe the words of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come.”
