Empowered21 hosted a press conference on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at the annual National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention to talk about the worldwide momentum and event details of the upcoming Global Congress to be held in Jerusalem May 20-25 of this year. This historic event will feature more than 130 Spirit-empowered leaders and worship artists from around the world as well as attendees from more than 120 nations. Also, today 21 global partners were confirmed for the event.

Ossie Mills, executive director for Empowered21, shared about the details of this global effort.

“We have been hard at work preparing to host the world at this unprecedented event in the Holy Land. There is great anticipation for how attendees will be inspired in their walk with Christ as they experience Pentecost in the land of the Bible,” said Mills.

Jürgen Bühler, executive director for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem and Empowered21 global council member, was on hand to share his thoughts on the significance of this event.

“I am proud to be involved with Empowered21 and this Global Congress in Jerusalem—a city that I cherish and call home. The opportunity to learn and worship with Spirit-empowered believers in the land where God’s Spirit was first poured out to the human race will be a life-changing experience,” said Bühler.

The Jerusalem 2015 Global Congress is a call to all believers from around the world to celebrate Pentecost in the land of Pentecost. The event will attract Spirit-empowered Christians from every continent to Jerusalem during the week of Pentecost to unite in faith for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

The next day will feature general sessions and focused tracks including: “Next Gen Trending, Values and Ministry,” “How to Pray and Intercede Effectively,” “Prophecy and the End Times,” “Scholars Gathering and Paper Presentation,” “Signs, Wonders and Healing,”  “The Effective Evangelist,” “Spirit-Empowered Discipleship,” “Exploring the Land of Pentecost,” “Business Leadership God’s Way,” “The 21st-Century Church: Leading, Planting and Prospering,” “Happening Now: The Book of Acts,” “True Religion: Compassion,” “Leading Effective Praise and Worship,” “How Shall We Talk Between Cultures?” “The Word of the Hour,” “Israel and the Church Today,” “Your Sons and Daughters,” “Communicating the Word: Publishing, Media and the Arts,” “Media: Creating and Producing Effective Television Media.”

On Friday, May 22, an outdoor worship event will be held in Manger Square in Bethlehem. Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda will be the feature speakers. This will be a time of praise, prayer and preaching focused on the coming of Jesus in Bethlehem.

There will be a special service on Saturday, May 23, at the Jordan River at the spot where it is believed that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
