Impacting the City [antikvár]

PrefaceSince mid 1998 I have had the privilege of partnering with so many people through the work of Sowing Seeds for Revival in numerous cities in the UK, and more latterly within different nations in mainland Europe, as well as a number of cities in the US, particularly on the West Coast.

This fourfold approach can be summarized under four headings: the need for those carrying responsibility within the pastoral realm of the Body of Christ to find a unity together; the necessity of believers to stand through every sphere in our cities; the desire for multi-level prayer to be developed; and the development of the prophetic watchpeople in the city so that the voice of God is being heard through all
