Are we moving towards
Revival in Ottawa?
Let's look forward to, and back through, some significant Christian events within our city these past few years.
These are just those that I am aware of (and attended many). Maybe you can suggest additional events. e-mail me.
I can't help but feel that these events are an indication of God's plan for this city.
Here they are, in reverse chronological order.

A new approach to helping people come out from under the burden of debt is called The Freedom Initiative. Teams of trained volunteers assist people in debt trouble to assess their options. The Freedom Initiative is promoted through Advisors with Purpose in Canada, who have launched a fundraising initiative so that the services provided will remain free and become known about in the community.

10 year Anniversary celebration for the first Good News in the Morning

I attended the press conference held just before the Billy Graham Mission, temporarily designated
a jouralist by Fellowship Magazine. By chance I came across a recording of the press conference, where Allen Churchill
gave a welcome address, and Billy Graham responded. Listen 
Read my Diary of a Billy Graham Counsellor. Six months later CFRA began broadcasting Good News in the Morning every Sunday at 6 (am), which has run ever since.
Allen Churchill Christian Ministries is planning an anniversary event which will also celebrate this post-mission decade.

The Cry, Ottawa - Webcast Video 1 Video 2

Links: Why Cry? Vision Website Listen Now
We live in an age of contradictions. While movements like The Cry suggest a softening of the Nation's heart towards Christ, Canada wishes to
celebrate the chief architect of abortion on demand, and pass bills that limit parental disciplining of children while
offering legal mind-altering drugs to those same children to curb behaviors that parents may not now curb. Lord, have mercy on us all, and may this Cry be heard in heaven!

The Mystery of Easter - by Robert Sibley, Ottawa Citizen. Why is this (and the other items below) any part of revival in Ottawa? Not because it includes anything believers are not already aware of, but because this "proof of Jesus' identity" is very unusual in the secular media, and reflects an acknowledgment by the press of a change of heart in their readership. The material (same ground as the first Alpha tape "Who is Jesus?") has the power to convince an atheist of his error.

Siege Ottawa Dominion-Chalmers Church
In the summer of 2005 James Goll prophesied in Vancouver Canada that the spirit of apathy was being broken off of the Canadian Church. Within 6 weeks (without having heard this word) we set out on the first SIEGE to Ottawa. The purpose of the SEIGE: to content for a moral revolution in our nation, meet with MPs & Senators & prophesy LIFE into an Army of Josiahs that God was calling to arise and reclaim the righteous foundations of Canada. Since this time we have stood in awe of all the Lord has done.
1.5 years: 4 Siege’s, 1 CRY, thousands of Kms, participants & hours, hundreds of meetings in churches & with federal politicians.
A REVOLUTION has truly emerged.
A shift has happened in our nation.
An army has arrived.

Prison Ministry - signs of a revival!
At a meeting today of the Prison Network Group chaired by OCDC chaplain Rev. Carl Wake, reports from various ministry leaders operating in the detention centre appeared to have a common theme: more and more evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in our prison. In one wing, every single inmate is taking part in regular Bible study, organized by inmates! A couple of years ago the Chaplain had shared with some of us his vision for just such a revival, when we would need all the volunteers we have, and more, to minister to the needs. See Prison ministry in OCDC.

National House of Prayer established in Ottawa
Rob and Fran Parker saw their vision for a National House of Prayer become a reality, a stone's throw (almost) from Parliament Hill: 17 Myrand Avenue. They are to be increasingly involved in revival for the nation, and their location means this will have a central effect on revival in Ottawa. My first visit was to join in prayer for the members of parliament a couple of days prior to the January 2006 federal election.

The Gathering October 30, 2004, Bethel Pentecostal church
Co-organized by Mission Ottawa / Outaouais and City-Wide Worship & Prayer, The Gathering was a night when 1200 Christians from across the region gathered to worship and pray in unison. It brought together followers of Christ burdened with the need to pray for the healing and uniting of the Body and the transformation of the National Capital Region. Moo was formed to continue the good work started in the city by Billy Graham in 1998, and we see the fruits of that event continuing to be manifested. A really excellent DVD, "Just Imagine," was made by City-Wide W & P to advertize this event, and if you have a copy, treasure it.

Pastor John Okinda visited the Ottawa area from Kenya,
His visit was sponsored by Ambassador Ministries in Covenant.
Mission meetings were in churches and homes in Russell and Kanata.
More background on him is in the attached document.
In a recent e-mail John Okinda wrote about finally receiving his Visa from the Canadian Embassy in Nairobi last week and unexpectantly they refunded to him his application fee. He wrote: "The Canadian Embassy gave me the Visa they refunded me the money for the visa application fee and said to me that because I am going to Canada to preach and teach the Word of God they cannot charge me anything, this has never happened to me or to any person I know, this must be God. This was a miracle!"

Time: 7:30pm--Prayer and worship for the region and local churches
Location: Metropolitan Bible Church, 453 Bank St.
For further details click the banner above.
City-Wide's Mission Statement: Worship with Purpose, Pray in Unity.
Clearly, there is no greater purpose in worship than to give honour and glory to God. What this statement refers to is that at City-Wide we worship with an additional purpose. We gather and intentionally put aside our differences to celebrate our unity in Jesus Christ.
While prayer is a component of worship, we draw special attention to it to emphasize its importance in the context of City-Wide. We pray in unity during the worship celebration, and continue to pray in agreement through the month either in response to the e-mail prayer requests or at on-site prayer missions.

A Fresh Wind is Coming Over Canada!
by Marc Dupont
In the late summer of last year, 2000, the Lord spoke to me that
there was
soon coming a fresh wind of the Holy Spirit over the nation of Canada.
And
for those congregations that had been seeking to hear what the Holy
Spirit
was saying to the church of Canada they were going to find that
the winter
storms were over and the spring rains were now softening the soil.
And that
soil which has been nourished through prayer and worship was going
to grow
fruit and vines much quicker than normal. As, well the fruit would
also be
larger than normal. As many congregations have been whole heartedly
seeking
the Face of God for their cities and country, they were going to
experience
a bumper crop this season.
I saw and experienced warm and scented winds coming over the land
of
Canada. Just as the fore fathers felt to include Psalm 72.8 in the
heritage
of their nation, so it will prove to be both prophetic and a reality
for
this present church generation. They shall experience God's having
"dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the
ends of the
earth". The river that began in Toronto 7 years ago shall,
indeed, cover
the land and continue with even greater power to go to the ends
of the
earth.
I saw the soft spring winds rippling over the nation. There was
a
"goldenness" about the winds. They seemed to be lightly
colored with gold,
which stood for the purity of clean hands and pure hearts which
have been
prepared to receive the Holy Spirit of the Living God and make a
resting
place for Him. As well, there was a fresh scent that came with the
winds.
A scent of incense, and frankincense, and myrrh. It was a scent
of
Levitical worship for the Presence of the Lord. As well, it was
the scent
that both woke up the (spiritual) senses of the church, but also
filled the
Bride with expectancy and love for the Bridegroom- Christ.
The Lord said to me, that where as the work of the harvest has seemed
difficult, slow, and sporadic there was now going to be a joy and
ease in
the work. The winter rains have been preparing the soil. And even
though
the soil has seemed muddy and difficult to work for the laborers,
what
those rains have accomplished is allowing the rocks which have been
entrenched in the hard soil to be loosened and to work their way
to the
top. Those obstacles which use to break many plow blades and cause
the
plowing to go slowly are now going to be easily removed through
prayer and
deliverance.
Recently, while ministering in the capitol of Canada-Ottawa, I felt
the
Lord say the following; These are the days of many congregations
in Canada
going from glory to glory. Seven years ago the Lord began to pour
out the
new wine and the oil of the Holy Spirit in Toronto- a great Canadian
city
of commerce. In that powerful move God has given the church of Canada
some
new currency. Instead of trading in tradition and programs like
in the
past, many congregations have learned to give out the joy of the
Spirit and
the peace and love of the Father's Heart. In this move Canada has
proven to
be a well for the nations.
But a fresh move is going to be added to the one of seven years
ago. Just
as Ezekiel experienced two parts in his vision of the dry bones
coming to
life so there will be two significant aspects of what God has in
store for
Canada. The first part brought a shaking and rattling the seriously
shook
up the religious death grip over many congregations. As well it
brought
much need unity to the church. A unity, not made by man, but of
the
different joints and bones of the church of Canada coming together
in the
Sprit in a fresh way. Those bones that came together for the purpose
of
seeking God were given muscle and sinews and tendons. They received
a fresh
strength to stand in the Lord and overcome the warfare of the enemy.
But now a second wind is coming. This wind will enable the newly
formed
body to jump, run, and even mount up in the purposes of God and
soar in His
power and grace. This fresh wind will come on those congregations
that have
moved towards unity and learned to prefer one another just as Christ
Jesus
came to serve, rather than to be served. This second wind will release
apostolic authority to the church of Canada.
Just as the first phase of this move which began in financial city
of
Toronto gave the church a fresh currency of peace and joy, so this
new move
will be governmental. The first rains brought refreshment but were
also
prophetic. They spoke of the possibility of what could take place
through
out the nation. This second move, will be a joining of the apostolic
to the
prophetic. A governmental type of authority will come on many churches
and
leaders through out Canada. There will be fresh anointing of power
and
authority coming on many. The move of the last 7 years has prepared
many
for this increase of the Spirit. Just as many have fallen deeper
in love
with Jesus, so they will now receive this anointing and not be caught
up in
their own ministries, but will be caught up it the ministry of the
Holy
Spirit. They will not represent their own empires, but rather Jesus
and the
Kingdom of God.
Indeed, Ottawa, the governmental city of Canada shall have a key
role in
this move. But it shall not be limited to Ottawa. Toronto and Vancouver,
as
well as other cities and towns, are going to be epicenters of this
move.
The church is built on the foundations of the prophets and the apostles
and
now, the foundation of the church of Canada is going to go deeper
into
it's prophetic and apostolic foundations. This will result in the
living
House of God growing both up and out. It will grow closer in intimacy
with
God the Father, but it will also grow outwardly to take in more
hurt and
broken.
Know this, that God, in His sovereignty, has chosen the great nation
of
Canada to impact the world on even a deeper level. Just as Canada
is rich
in natural resources but has barely tapped into those resources
so the
church of Canada is rich in Christ, but has barely tapped into the
resources that Christ Jesus has for her in His Spirit. But the Lord
says to
have hope and lift up your eyes. You are going to be warmed and
strengthened in the fresh wind that is coming. You shall walk and
not
faint, run and not be weary, and even though the church institutions
of man stumble badly, you shall mount up in the purposes of God.
