This gathering is for those who agree that the only spiritual and that they will require a spiritual remedy. This gathering is for those who agree that the only spiritual remedy that will work is a return to the one true God who is revealed through His word and through the Lord Jesus Christ, and who feel that such revival will not take place until pastors and church workers can lay aside the differences that divide and embrace the Savior who unites all in one body.
