“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” —John 1:5
Do you long for a deeper relationship with Jesus, one so vital and close that you sense the glow of His Spirit within you all through the day? Well, you’re not alone!
That's why I’m thrilled to tell you about a new Amazing Facts revival series coming December 2–5, 2009, called “Streams of Light.” This satellite revival event will be broadcast live from England to the world on 3ABN and LifeStyle TV. It will also stream globally on the internet, and it is specifically designed to renew your faith.
A unique part of the mission of Amazing Facts is to revitalize the faith of God’s people. That’s why we have conducted many revival series over the years, such as Oh For Revival, Drawing Near, and Here We Stand. Just as we have seen tremendous spiritual renewal from these other global meetings, I trust the Lord will abundantly bless Streams of Light, which will be centered on developing a personal experience with Jesus — and then sharing the Light of God with a lost world!
Like you, I’m deeply concerned about the spiritual health of God’s church. Modern Christians are often distracted with making money, owning the latest gadgets, wearing trendy fashions, and discussing popular entertainment. In the meantime, their relationship with Christ is neglected.
To be truthful, most professed Christians find little time to pray and read the Word of God, the Lamp of light that guides our way (Psalms 119:105). As a result, a religious apathy has swept the Western world and has left millions of God’s children in spiritual darkness.
The Bible identifies this exact condition as a symptom we can expect at the end of time: “Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people” (Isaiah 60:2).
But thankfully, this passage goes on to offer great hope and promise! “But the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising” (Isaiah 60:2, 3).
Do you catch that if the church is reflecting the light of God, the lost world will come running to us!? (See also Matthew 5:14, 15.)
All around us, precious people are blindly groping in the darkness, longing to find the “Light of the World.” But before they can find us, our church must be revived with the Light. That’s why we need our 2009 Streams of Light program.
And that’s why I need your help today. Only with your prayers and financial support can Amazing Facts bring this illuminating revival program to the people in our church who most need it.
Turbo Charge Your Faith!
Another reason the Streams of Light revival is so vitally important is that it goes beyond turbo charging your faith in God — it will also inspire your passion for lost souls. This program will help you reach out to Christian friends and former church members whose connections with God have withered.
Do you know some people who need this? Please encourage them to tune in. Better yet, invite them to your home and watch these unique meetings together!
Streams of Light will explore the six “secrets of victory” that can nourish and revitalize your own spiritual life and deepen your relationship with Jesus.
To make it all as convenient as possible, Streams of Light will be available anywhere in the world where people can watch 3ABN or have an internet connection. (That is now most of the world!) No longer will people need to live in the right country or right time zone to participate — if you miss one of these powerful presentations, you can find them stored on the internet and immediately download and watch it. This will also make it possible for you to send the revival link to even more people, so the messages of truth and revival can grow and expand around the planet!
With just three months left before this revival begins, we must act quickly! Will you please prayerfully consider giving a generous gift today to help us send Streams of Light to millions of people in darkness?
We need to raise funds to produce the programs, rent the uplink equipment, and pay for an internet system that can globally stream and broadcast the six-part series. I believe with your gift and God’s grace, this will happen.
The bridegroom is coming! God is calling His sleepy church to awake and trim their lamps (Matthew 25:6, 7). Our Father yearns to pour out His Holy Spirit so we will be alive and trained to lead others to Christ.
If a single beam of sunlight can help sprout a seed, imagine the harvest that showers of light will bringt! Your gift today will open blind eyes.
You can rediscover your first love and help others find new life. Our Streams of Light website will be launched soon. For more information, visit www.streamsoflight.org and learn how you and your church can be involved in this life-transforming revival.
