NEWTON, Mass.,--Real Faith in God and individual actions of church members is more important than the size of the church, as opposed to trends in modern society that has tended to evaluate churches according to membership. This was said by Dr. David Turner, the TBN Televangelist and founder of David Turner Ministries who led two revival conferences in the African community in Boston last weekend, a one day event at the CCF Church in Nashua, NH and two days at the Victory Family church in Watertown, MA. During the closing day of the Victory Family church event last Sunday, Dr. Turner said that he was compelled by the spirit of God to extend outreach into the African community churches in Boston after meeting Pastor Samuel Kassozi, pastor of the Victory Family church during a revival conference in Dallas three years ago. He said that Boston needs a major revival of God since it has been saddled with many issues on the spiritual realm, especially belief and worship witchcraft as evidenced by widely known witchcraft rituals and celebrations coming from the city of Salem, near Boston. The pastor said that the real and impacting revival needed in the area will only come when leaders of small churches that are coming up in various parts of the Northeast put their differences aside to unite and collaborate on the spread of the gospel instead of struggling to dominate small bands of worshippers in order to control of their "territories". "This area has suffered for many years from witchcraft activities. Real Revival is possible if pastors put their differences aside and bring their people together occasionally to conduct massive revival conferences.You cannot continue to refuse your members to join others for revival events in an effort to control your own territory and still hope to make a mark," he told about worshippers. He urged the leaders of the Victory Family church to continue their outreach and seek to bring churches and worshippers from different cultures together to cultivate the desired unity. "I see this church playing a leading role to bring the people of God together for a greater flow of the Spirit of God in this region." Turner also urged worshippers to have faith in God and have actions that speak of their belief in God instead of attending church as a social ritual, yet continue to suffer from many problems associated with spiritual wickedness when they leave church. Thanking Pastor Turner for his continued effort to reach out to the African community churches, pastor Kasozi said that it was an honor that his church does not take lightly. He said that since the Victory Family church started several years ago, it has continued to attract worshippers from many cultural backgrounds who come to worship together several times a week. He also thanked those who attended the two day revival and urged them to spread the good News to others who may not be attending churches out there so that they can be positively affected. Several hundred worshippers from various states including Connectict, New Hampshire and Massachusetts attended the conference that started on Saturday, continued on Sunday morning and ended on Sunday evening. Dozens of believers present came forward for special healing prayers from Dr. Turner. Among other pastors present at the revival included pastor Patrick Mulindwa, the Associate pastor at Victory Family church and pastor David Ndungu, pastor of the predominantly Kenyan CCF Church in Nashua, New Hampshire where Dr. Turner preached on Friday evening. Dr. Turner, who's Phoenix Arizona based Christian ministry reaches millions worldwide through the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), promised to continue his annual outreach to African Diaspora churches in the New England region. The Victory Family Church is located at 161 North Street, Newton, MA. | |||||||||
