Why are National Groups Important to Change the Spiritual Environment of a Nation?

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for your country. ~JFK

We believe that by pastors and leaders gathering together and sharing information about ministry, praying for each other, assisting where possible and undertaking some joint events, a great sense of unity in the church in a nation can be developed which will cause the world to sit up and take notice, like Jesus referred to in John 17. We encourage you to join your national group and have your say, add comments to the wall and write discussion forums.

A group of leaders gathered outside listening to

Howard Sands. The start of Africa Network BFTF

in Kampala, Uganda, 2007.

When you encourage others by:- 

Starting an initiative for national prayer, worship, teaching or leadership development, 

Kingdom development in aspects of civic duty, education, politics, business or judicial system, 

that is outside of your church or denomination or structure where you are a part, but take a view of developing the Kingdom of God in your country, you will attract like minded individuals to join and share this initiative. 

In so doing you will gather momentum and provide spiritual impetus to your nation to shift towards unity and cause the Holy Spirit to advance the cause of the Kingdom in the nation because there are people moving forward with kingdom objectives not constrained by personal, financial, church or denominational constraints. 

What is your strength? 

Where has God called you to serve? 

How will you develop and share kingdom principles on a wider scale?

How can you inform other leaders of such initiatives, report kingdom events and successes or gather momentum, seek ideas and constructive helps for things will will turn the kingdom principles loose on your nation in increasing measure? 

Find places people who have interest in such things, join there and share your ideas, programs, plans and requests. Participate with others in concepts and programs already established with similar objectives. One such place that is gathering momentum is national group on Africa Network BFTF (over 4500 Christian leader members from 46 African countries and beyond)

Guests 

Suzzette Hattingh 

Voice in the City, Frankfurt, Germany

From 1980 to 1996, Suzette Hattingh was part of Reinhard Bonnke’s ministry “Christ for all Nations” (CfaN). Heading up the intercession department, Suzette played a major role in the worldwide campaign preparations and the general ministry, later becoming Reinhard’s associate evangelist.
Her ministry of prayer during Reinhard Bonnke evangelistic outreaches, often coupled with one-to-one evangelism and street evangelism, has brought thousands of souls into the kingdom of God and has motivated numerous Christians in prayer and personal evangelism.  An evangelist in her own right, Suzette’s ministry quickly broadened into major evangelistic outreaches and prayer schools.

On 1st January 1997, Suzette Hattingh together with Gayle Claxton, founded “Voice in the City”, an international, interdenominational missions organization, endeavouring to reach out to the lost and broken-hearted, irrespective of their walk of life.

On 27th January 2015, Suzette became the founder of the non-profit organisation ‘Cinta Papua’ in West Papua, Indonesia. This has expanded into two training centres called the ‘Love Papua Centre’. Here, thousands of people interdenominationally get inspired, trained and led into a deeper walk with God.

An integral part of the ministry is healing, having been used strongly by the Lord for signs and wonders. As well as worldwide evangelistic campaigns, Suzette has a strong call from the Lord to concentrate on cities and local communities. Under the banner of servant hood, she reaches out with the same passion to one soul as to a million. Although a passionate evangelist, Suzette is also gifted in edifying and equipping the body of Christ through motivational preaching and teaching.
As an author, her anointed teachings, seasoned with experience, have been an inspiration to thousands across the world. Books & DVD's
