This week, Prayer Hour is all about REVIVAL
Each day, we’re going to be checking out some of the awesome revival stories of the 20th century and praying in, asking God, pleading for, a new movement of the Spirit, a new revival in our nation/world today.
Today, we’re going to be checking out - 1984 Argentine revival
Argentina has experienced a couple of significant revivals. The first was the 1949 Argentine Revival. That particular revival was a precursor to the 1954 Argentine Revival with Tommy Hicks, wherein 200,000 – 300,000 conversions were reported, as well as many thousands of documented healings.
As powerful and significant as those revivals were, the Argentine Church was not prepared for them. The harvest was so large that the numbers harvested overwhelmed the churches. With the lack of prepared workers, the new converts were not effectively followed-up on and they were not assimilated into the churches.
Despite the mass salvations and healings, after just a few years the churches in Argentina settled back into a “normal” maintenance mode. From the early ‘60s until the early 1980s, the church growth rate in Argentina was one of the slowest in the world.
PRAYER POINTS FOR US
Pray for God to help us accept the challenge to pray for God to move like never before like that small group of young people did in Argentina.
Pray for God to save us from becoming a church in "maintenance mode” and inspire our leaders to help us to grow the kingdom of God in our communities and our Nation.
Pray for increased unity and focus across the church on reaching the lost.
Worship
