LET’S BUILD WHAT PENTECOST BEGAN, TOGETHER

What if the next revival doesn’t come through the most qualified, but through the most willing and diverse community?

Are you ready to bring someone with you into God’s unfolding story?

Pentecost was not meant to keep things the same

Pentecost wasn’t a quiet moment. It was bold, disruptive, and gloriously intercultural. The beginning of the church was intercultural.

On that day in Acts 2, the Spirit of God was poured out not on the polished or powerful—but on a group of ordinary, uncertain, diverse believers gathered in an upper room. They didn’t come with titles or credentials. What they had was hunger, obedience, and expectancy.

Suddenly, the wind of heaven blew.
 Languages erupted.
 Barriers broke.
 The Church was born, not in one culture, but in many cultures in the same room. Isn't that awesome!

That was no accident. It was God’s divine strategy.
The Spirit fell on all flesh, sons and daughters, old and young, people from every nation under heaven.

This is the power of Pentecost.
This is the foundation of the intercultural Church.
 And this is the calling we must now pass on to a new generation. I believe the future of the church is intercultural.

A Stirring for the Next Generation

Lately, I’ve felt a deep prompting from God, not about the next generation as a trend or hashtag, but as real people: young leaders, emerging voices, and future visionaries who are watching closely to see how we lead.

This moment is especially significant in light of recent reports pointing to a quiet revival, a growing spiritual openness among Gen Z. It’s not just encouraging; it’s a call to action.

As leaders, we are being called to steward this moment with courage, clarity, and intentionality.

We may not have all the answers. But we do have this opportunity: To invest in the next generation, not when they’re “ready,” but now.

Because the truth is, God doesn’t wait for people to be qualified. He qualifies the ones He calls.

ICCT: A Movement Rooted in Pentecost Power

At the Intercultural Church and City Transformation (ICCT) Gathering, we’ve witnessed what happens when diverse voices gather around one shared vision: the renewal of the Church and the transformation of our cities.

We’ve seen developing unity across generations, cultures, and denominations.
 We’ve seen worship that sounds like heaven. 
We’ve seen broken walls and born-again dreams.

But this movement cannot continue on momentum alone. 
It must multiply.
 And that begins with you.

Who Will You Bring With You?

As we look toward the next ICCT Gathering, I want to invite you to reflect:
 Who are you bringing with you to join our conversation and experience?

•           A younger leader in your team?

•           A Gen Z believer trying to find their place in a divided world?

•           Someone with untapped passion who’s never seen diverse leadership at the table?

Come with them.
 Not just to an event, but into the story.
 Let them see what's possible when the Church is alive with the Spirit and diverse by design.

Let’s not just talk about raising the next generation.
 Let’s bring them with us.

Pentecost Is Still Happening

Pentecost was never meant to be a memory.
 It was always meant to be a movement.

And God’s Spirit is still falling, on unexpected people in unexpected places. 
Across nations. Across generations. Across every culture.

He is still qualifying the called.
 He is still sending the willing.
 He is still building a Church where everyone has a place and a purpose.

So don’t wait for perfection.
 Don’t lead alone.
 Say yes. Invite someone else to say yes with you.

The Wind Is Still Blowing

This is your moment.
 This is their moment. 
Let’s step into it together, with open hands, open hearts, and a deep belief that the Spirit still speaks through the unlikely, the young, and the overlooked.

Because when we bring the next generation with us.
 We don’t just pass the torch.
 We continue God's Story together.
