June 19th, 2020
A Joel 2:15 International Solemn Assembly
"So rend your heart, and not our garments; For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and He relents from doing harm...Blow the trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the people, sanctify the congregation. Assemble the elders....Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; let them say, 'Spare Your people, O Lord, and do not give Your heritage to reproach." Joel 2:13,15, 17

In response to the growing tensions and difficulties from the George Floyd killing, we invite the international community to join in repentance and forgiveness for the sins of slavery and racism. This Assembly was a journey into the heart and history of slavery with repentance at deep root levels from African-African; African-African in Diaspora, Africa-Israel/Arabs; Africa -West. We believe this was a Kairos time and in faith that the deep-rooted issues that were released and repented of are now in the healing hands of the Father. Listening to this history and the prayers will leave you changed!
