In the past couple of years God has begun to move more mightily upon us
than ever before. We have experienced Him like never before and more and
more we are feeling the urgency to reach the nations for Him. I believe
that God is calling us to something greater than we have ever been a
part of, and I believe a portion of that calling was revealed to me
during the Pastors’ Conference in Nicaragua in 2007.
We
had held our first Pastors’ Conference in Nicaragua in April of 2006. We had
about 1,000 pastors attend from all across Nicaragua. It was an incredible
experience to have so many pastors come together to seek the Lord, but it wasn’t
until the second conference that God really began to move.
Many people wonder why God seems to move mightier at some times rather than others. Whether it was timing, preparation, the condition of our hearts or the expectancy of the people present, God moved in a way I have never experienced at the second Pastors’ Conference we held in Nicaragua in 2007. Close to two thousand pastors joined together from across Nicaragua to seek the Lord, and He showed up powerfully. The presence of God fell upon us so wonderfully that many times we were too busy praising Him and basking in His presence to even follow our teaching schedule. People fell prostrate before Him, they sang and danced, they shouted and cried out for more of God, and through it all God touched the hearts of His children so that they would never be the same again.
I believe what we experienced can not be explained in words. As we
worshiped at the throne of the Almighty and cried out with the angels,
“Holy, Holy, Holy” our Lord took us into an intimacy with Him. He took
us to a place where the bride sits at the feet of her Bridegroom and
knows Him as her true love. This is a place that can only be experienced
first hand. My words will not take you there, your pastor will not take
you there, only the Spirit of the Lord and a heart that aches to find
Him can take you into the chamber room of the King.
I believe everyone who came into the presence of the Lord at the Pastors Conference left the conference changed. I am still hearing testimonies from the pastors about how God has changed their lives. They are on fire for Him, spreading the Gospel message to all who will listen. Their churches are growing, their congregations are excited and people are coming to know the Lord left and right. God is still moving powerfully in those pastors’ lives and I believe He is showing me that we have only seen a glimmer of what is to come.
After much prayer, Way of the Cross has decided to do a Pastors’ Conference in Mexico instead of Nicaragua this coming year. At first we declared it to be the “Catch the Vision” Mexico Pastors’ Conference. We published it on the web and sent out newsletters promoting it, and the response we got back was unexpected to say the least.
Pastors from all over the world began to e-mail us asking us if they could come to the conference. Pastors from Ghana, Pakistan, Myanmar and India contacted us, all wanting to come to Mexico to seek the Lord at the conference. If it had been just one pastor, maybe we would have never given it a second thought, but it was not just one. We began to pray about what God was trying to show us and we came to believe that God is calling us to do an international pastors conference.
We would like to extend an invitation to pastors throughout the world. If you are hungry, if you want more of the Lord, if you want to experience Him in a more intimate way than ever before, if you are desperate to see the lost of your country come to know Jesus as Savior, then you are invited to join us at the Pastors’ Conference in Aldama, Mexico.
The conference will be held May 6th-10th (please see exact schedule below! )in Aldama, Mexico. The closest airport is in Tampico, Mexico about 65 miles away, or you can fly into Mexico City, Mexico. Once you arrive in Aldama, your food and lodging will be taken care of.
The conference will be called “Catch the Vision”. Our focus will be to seek after the Lord for a vision to win the lost for Him. We will have three and a half days of teaching and our prayer is that God will reveal Himself to us in ways we cannot even imagine, that He will capture our hearts, take us into His presence and set us on fire to be soul-winners for Him!
I believe that we are living in the last days and that God is impressing an urgency on the hearts of His children to reach the world for Him. It is time for the body of Christ to join together, to seek after God with everything within us, and boldly go forth to reap the abundant harvest of the last days. Will you join us? Even if you cannot go to the conference, will you set your heart to follow hard after the Lord and determine to do whatever it takes to make His glory known to all? He is waiting for you in His chamber, longing for you to join Him, ready to reveal Himself to you, to capture your heart and prepare you for the work that lies ahead. Will you go?
