Over the years, due to the proximity to the Prophetic in our local church, many words have been shared over the years concerning Arkansas and our city in particular. As someone that believes that God does still speak to his people, I've heard these words and tried to steward them faithfully. Some words are in due season, for something at that time, while others point to larger things that the Lord may be wanting to do in a Church, a City, a State, or even the Nations.
​
We've heard prophetic words of revival spoken over this region for decades, from Smith Wigglesworth, Corrie Ten Boom, Chuck Pierce, Dutch Sheets, Bob Jones, Paul Cain, Hayley Braun, and many many others. All these prophetic words pointing to a mass revival, outpouring, movement of the Spirit that will flow from the heart of Arkansas to the nations.
​
On December 31, someone came to me that serves on our prophetic team, he's leading one of our small groups at City Church. He informed me that he was watching the School of the Prophets from September and that Hayley Braun (one of the speakers) had a prophetic word about Arkansas in which the Lord referred to it as an unlikely Bethlehem. This immediately caught my attention and my spirit lept, as I recalled that Paul Cain, had a similar word for Arkansas in the 1990's. That Arkansas was an unlikely Bethlehem and there would be an outpouring that would feed the world.
​
As I was praying, I felt the Lord say "I'm about to fulfill all of these words through the eclipse." In April of 2024, there is a total eclipse. Russellville will be ground zero for the eclipse, we are expecting over 120K people to flow into our city of only 30K for the week leading up to the eclipse on April 8th. Over 1.5 Million people are expected to immerse on Arkansas for what is the largest tourism event in our history. 1.5 Million people, all chasing an experience with a star. What would it look like if we didn't care who got the credit, but everyone got Jesus? That's our mission statement, as I speak with people all over the US and share this vision.
​
We plan to open up our 26 Acres of land, located right off of I-40 for free Tent Camping, we plan to have worship over the 3 days prior to the event. Large tents on the grounds for ministry, evangelism, healing, prayer, supplies, etc. Some of my friends have teased saying that I was trying to host a "Christian Woodstock" hahah. I sincerely believe that the same God who in Genesis 1:14 said "I have placed the stars into the VAULT of the sky, to mark signs and times, days and years". He has known since before the beginning of time that people from all over the US would come to our small city to chase the Sun, meanwhile they will have an opportunity to find the SON!
​
I hope that as you read this, you will prayerfully consider how you can be a part of this vision. Whether it's bringing a team to serve, being a prayer partner, or financially partnering with this vision. Maybe it's just you sharing this event with others through Social Media or word of mouth. We look forward to these three days in April, as you know, a lot can happen in only three days!
