Revival Bible Center
This ministry is affiliated with Crossminstries International which is the ministry of Erika Pretorius and Marinda Coetzee. Revival Bible Center is a team of amazing servants of Jesus Christ who have laid down their lives for each other and the Kingdom of God. They host a ministry training for emerging leaders, facilitate Kairos (world missions course) and serve the Body of Christ in Samara and in regions throughout Russia.
Pastor Johnny has been working with RBC for many years often teaching there twice each year. During the last 3 years he has only been able to go once each year. The leaders trained through this ministry serve the body of Christ in Samara and throughout the Samara Region. Many are now planting new churches and more are preparing to go to unreached people groups.
Revival Bible Center, Russia:
Revival Bible Center envisions bringing personal revival in people’s spiritual life, as well as equipping them for effective ministry – training not just the head, but also the heart and hands for service in God’s kingdom. This is done in order for these leaders to be able to go out again to disciple and equip others for ministry. Specific training is given to prepare people for: Discipleship, Church planting, Missions, Pastoral Ministry, Leadership, and reaching the lost in the nations of the world. The Samara Prayer center also functions under the covering of RBC. They are drawing on prayer warriors from many different churches and denominations in seeking God’s face for His purpose to be manifested on earth! Today, across the whole earth, God is restoring night and day worship and prayer as part of His commitment to restore His church to release justice in the earth. God promises to set watchmen on the wall, and this speaks of God’s activity in our lives, calling us to lives of prayer and worship, and intercession for cities to be transformed by God’s love (Is 62:6-7). God desires for His church to worship Him on earth as it is done in heaven (Mt 6:10). People gather regularly every week to pray according to the Word of God for the world, Russia and specifically for Samara, coming into agreement with God’s will for people to know Him intimately, so that the cities will be transformed. RBC is also using the tool of Kairos to equip the Russian church for missions. There are still 76 Unreached People Groups in Russia according to statistics given by the Joshua project. Crossministries International has a vision to see all these unreached groups touched and changed by the love of Jesus. The Kairos Course is a nine-session, interactive course on world Christian mission, designed to educate, inspire and challenge Christians to active and meaningful participation. It is ideally suited to be conducted in local churches.
