Trying to describe last Sunday night's prayer gathering to somebody not there, would be like the Apostle's trying to describe Pentecost to somebody who wasn't there. You can try, but you really just had to be there!
I can tell you this: for many who attended the Sunday night, October 19th ''The Prayer Gathering'' will be that day in their life that they will be referring to the rest of their life: ''That's the night I experience a spiritual breakthrough. That night at RSBC when all those people filled the room crying out to God …

*that's when my marriage took a turn,
*that's when my walk with God took a turn.
God showed up then spoke up and then showed off and we will never be same because He did.
