What is a Tent Revival in the Holy Spirit?
Our Tent Revival ( Life in the Spirit Seminar ) is an invitation to make or renew a deep personal commitment to Jesus Christ in openness to the Holy Spirit and His gifts. It is usually a weekend event, with preaching, worship, music and sacramental ministry that takes place in a larger tent, outside of the church building .
Why have this in a tent and not in the church building?
Because we want the faith to be more visible, more accessible, outside "in the streets" especially for those in our neighborhood who otherwise might not come in if it were hidden inside of the church building.
" I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty, because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and of clinging to its own security." (Pope Francis)
Who is the Tent Revival for?
It is for people of all walks of life or religious affiliation. It is for those who are troubled and burdened by life’s challenges. It is for those who are far away from the Lord and those who are practicing their faith but need it revitalized. Invite all your family and friends, especially those who have fallen away from the faith!
What is the purpose of this Tent Revival in the Holy Spirit? Through anointed preaching and vibrant praise & worship, and encouraging fellowship, we seek to help as many people as possible to encounter our Lord Jesus Christ and to open their hearts to a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Just before his ascension to the Father, Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit upon his disciples to guide and empower them to live the Christian life and to give testimony to others about what He has done for them.
" You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth". (Acts 1:4)
Why do we need to receive the Holy Spirit to give witness to Jesus?
The Holy Spirit renews us, teaches us and transforms us, filling our hearts with such a love for Jesus that we long to share this love with as many people as possible.
We are so transformed by His grace that we cannot be silent.
When our hearts are renewed by God’s grace,
we long to bless and serve those who are in need.
This is the mission of our parish.
This is the mission of our Tent Revival!

First, the foundation of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit- the Sanctifying Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11:2-3). These gifts are needed for our personal salvation.
