There is something beautiful about the Body of Christ coming together in one accord to pray for one another, in a gathering for prayer and worship.
REVIVE TOPEKA is an initiative to bring all the churches in Topeka together in one accord to pray for the peace and prosperity of Topeka (2 Chronicles 7:14), and to pray for people who are in need (Ephesians 6:18). The event will take place at Big Gage Shelter house in Gage Park.
This event is targeted to create a place for the Body of Christ to come together in unity to worship and have fellowship, apart from their regular church attendance, forgetting denominational barriers and other differences. Although Topeka has faced many social problems over the last few years, and large numbers of the younger generation are leaving for opportunities elsewhere, it is hoped that this trend can be reversed, based on 2 Chronicles 7:14:
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Max Manning, co-founder of Topeka Rescue Mission and founder of Global Missions, will open the meeting with prayer, followed by other local pastors and prayer leaders. The gathering will start at 7:00 p.m. and is expected to conclude about 8:30 p.m. It will include prayer, worship, preaching of the word of God and prayers for healing, deliverance and other needs.
The event is open to all Jesus Christ followers who love to impact the city with the love of Jesus Christ. It is not affiliated with any particular church or denomination. Future gatherings are also planned on August 16th and September 13th at the same venue.
No offering will be taken in the meeting. This event is supported only through volunteers in Topeka. For more information email revivetopeka@gmail.com or call 785-215-5664.
