The Signs of Hope

Pentecost and More is the major evangelistic strategy of West Indies Union to arrive at this experience.   We must let nothing in our private and public world rob us of God. Having been made in the image of God, we possess the capacity to experience God in ordinary and extraordinary ways.  To experience God in extraordinary ways we need to seek and desire the presence of God in Christ Jesus.  In the Bahamas, we are now seeking and desiring the Divine presence. It is the presence of the Holy Spirit that will give impetus and fire to the upcoming soul winning programs of the conference.  DIVINE PRESENCE plus SOUL WINNING PROGRAM equal PENTECOST and MORE.  The book of Acts bears that out clearly.
