History
In 2009 a group formed called Praise/ Prayer/ Presence with the intention of pursuing a God of love, to know Him at such a level that the words from Christ's final prayer would be reality, "That they all may be one, just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us... " (John 14:21)
In the process was the growing awareness of what it truly meant to be sons and daughters of an amazing Father.
The Holy Spirit began to pour out as passionate worship and prayer combined with spiritual hunger. Physical and emotional healing, intimacy with God, revelation, and dreams became a common occurrence.
In the summer of 2011 the group realized that this was more than just a group of God-seekers, but that we were a part of a movement of God occurring around the world.
The question arose as to how to steward this movement with wisdom and joy. We listened and observed various ministries. We prayed and sought God. With a direct connection to Iris Ministries (through Missionaries Jeff and Danette Johnson), we were led to investigate Iris' support church, Bethel Church in Redding, California under the leadership of Bill Johnson. Their church revival movement, experience and structure, gave us a solid, biblical model to follow.
