The Foursquare Church is witnessing an outpouring of God's grace in an extraordinary measure, and our churches and ministries around the world are testifying of a great harvest! Countries that were once considered “closed” to the gospel are experiencing an amazing visitation of the Spirit of God. Once-hard soil is softening under the power of the Holy Spirit and becoming receptive to the gospel.
In 2008 Foursquare Europe planted 17 new churches, and India, with a renewed vision for church planting, started more than 20 churches. Fiji had its first official convention and ordained 27 new pastors. God is moving in powerful ways; our prayers, along with the investments we have made in leadership development, are bearing much fruit.
Last year our overseas ministries reported the following:
- Salvations
2,470,219 (53% increase) - Water Baptisms
628,200 (47% increase) - Holy Spirit Baptisms
