Roanoke's "Preparing for Transformation" Weekend

Transforming Revival is a mighty move of God which comes as a result of a community’s invitation and pursuit of God’s Presence. This supernatural move of God will affect every sphere of culture including both Christians and non-Christians, alike, and will give glory to God, not man or man’s programs. It does not happen at random, nor does God pick and choose which community to visit. He comes to those who have prepared themselves.          
   
Roanoke Valley's "Preparing for Transformation" seminar was held Nov 14-15.  It was a weekend designed to equip and empower communities that desire to pursue God’s Presence resulting in transforming revival.
