Homestead revival
Join us on the Friday evening of the @homesteadersofamerica conference as we host the annual Homestead Revival service. This year we welcome together ministers Parker and Jessi Green of @saturateglobal and @saltchurches .
Parker and Jessi Green are revivalists and full-time missionaries to America, and the Directors of Saturate Global. They have baptized thousands on beaches and in water troughs. They seek only see the Kingdom of God fully represented in the body of Christ!
The Greens are passionate about reaching those that don’t know Jesus, equipping The Church to make disciples and preach the Gospel, baptizing people in water and The Holy Spirit. They believe that everyone is qualified to share the Good News and teach others to follow Jesus.
As always, the baptism trough will be available for baptisms! Towels will be available but we encourage you to bring your own if you’d like to. Wear dark clothes!
More than anything, we are honored to have them with us for the evening. Parker and Jessi truly walk out scripture in their everyday life and church—seeing weekly miracles, healings, and salvations as they proclaim the Word of the Lord! 
More than ever, it is imperative that the body of Christ and like minded believers come together in fellowship. We hope you’ll attend!
This event is AFTER the conference on Friday at 6:30 PM. It is free and open to anyone (no conference ticket required).
