Let’s face it the world is going to hell with gasoline underpants on. In this day and age we are living in a time where it is okay to be a witch, gay, and atheist, but extreme to believe what the Bible says is true. These are truly the last days. Now more than ever the church needs men and women who are not afraid to stand up for what is right. Now is the time to "lift up our voice like a trumpet" to show the world that there is a God and that He reigns forever. We need men and women on a mission. We need men and women sent from God, we need apostles to rise up in the land.  For years the office of apostle has been hid from most of the church world.

Apostles are ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor. 5:20). They are people of God on a mission. Their authority has not been given by man, but they have been given a spiritual authority by Christ. ( John 20:21) Apostles are men and women of God who have matured to a place of wisdom and ministry and have been divinely commissioned to the office of apostle. Apostles have a pioneering spirit, not afraid to do what God has called them to do. They are willing to go any and everywhere to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. With this pioneering spirit they encourage others to be the best that they can be.

Apostles work signs, wonders, and miracles. (Acts 2:43 5:12) They take the gospel to unreached areas. (Romans 15:20) Not only do they plant churches upon the foundation of Christ, but they help established churches return to scriptural foundation. (1 Cor. 3:10) They appoint and train initial leaders of a church. (Acts 14:21-23) Apostles deal with specific problems, false doctrines or sins (the whole book of 1 Corinthians is dedicated to that). Apostles promote unity. in the body of Christ and network churches. (Eph. 4:1-16; 1 Cor. 16:1-4) Apostle demonstrate and impart the supernatural gifts. (2 Cor 12:12; Acts 8:4-17)

Here is a little bit of history. If not for the original apostles the church would not be what it is today. These powerful men of God turned their world upside down, when the rest of the world was worshiping pagan gods and idols. They preached to crowds when they could have been stoned to death. In the very beginning, they didn’t have the bible, all they had was their testimony. Christians today, we have books, tapes, conventions, television, and churches on every street. Yet in many churches we are lacking what these original apostles had, power. If Jesus saw the importance of anointing and appointing apostles, how much more so is it for us? If not for other apostles such as Barnabas, Silas, James, and Paul how different would our world be?  These men had to preach whom made their money off of selling statues of different gods, now here come these people coming along saying that there is only one God? If these men and women can turn their world upside down, in a more hostile environment, how come we can’t?

For years the power and authority of the apostle has been hid from many in the church world. The church has stood silent as they have watched this country slowly being taken over by a secular movement, which is eating away at the very Biblical core that this country was based on. We need men and women with power and authority, who can heal the sick, and cast out devils. We need men and women to represent Christ. We need ambassadors, we need apostles.

That is why on April 29th thru May 1st 2004 there will be the "World’s largest gathering of Apostles and Prophets" at the Pontiac Silverdome, Pontiac, MI. We are praying for a mighty move of God, that will rock the world. That when people come, they won’t leave out the same, but they will leave with a new fire and anointing to turn their cities upside down for Jesus!

That is why we are CALLING ALL APOSTLES!!!!!
