BOSTON, Mass.,__The long awaited revival convention by Joseph Kalema Ministries, in partnership with a New York based Archbishop and many Boston area pastors kicked off at the Boston Woburn Hilton Hotel on Thursday night and will continue throughout the entire Memorial Day weekend. The Revival convention brings together delegates from other states and other renowned US Preachers like Dr. Archbishop Joseph A. Alexander, founder of the New Covenant Christian Worldwide Ministries based in Bronx, NY, and Dr. Larry Hrovat of Faith of The Nations Ministries of Denver,Colorado. Africa based clergymen also jetted in for the convention.They include Pastor Nicholas Wafula, a reknowned East African Revivalist who co-founded the Deliverance church of Uganda in the late 60s even as he faced serious danger from former Ugandan Dictator, Id Amin Dada, as well as and Pastor Laban Jjumba of Deliverance Church Uganda. Determined to soldier on despite serious danger, pastor Wafula was forced to lead the church underground for 10 years in order to escape brutal persecution by former Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin. Themed "Acquire the Fire, Lift Jesus Higher", the highly anticipated convention kicked off with a praise and worship session led by the Chelsea based International Gospel Church live band and choir. Rev. John Baker Katende of the Global Evangelical church, who is also the chairman of the convention organizing committee officially, opened the 4 day meeting. He was followed by Bishop Joseph Kalema of the Joseph Kalema Ministries Inc., who introduced the various guests from around the world-who will be delivering the word throughout the weekend. "Thank you all for coming. We are lacking the baptism of the Holy Ghost Fire. We want people to be baptized not just by the Holy Spirit, but also by fire," said Bishop Kalema, drawing from the convention theme: "Acquire the Fire, Lift Jesus Higher". Leading in the opening night's sermon, Dr.Hrovat challenged worshippers to get ready for a big change spiritually after attending the convention. "By the end of this convention, you will not be at the same place again spiritually." Others promising fireworks included PastorNicholasWafula and Pastor LabanJjumba, both who flew in from Uganda. "At end of the weekend, you will learn how to recover all that the locusts have eaten from you for the last many years," said pastor Jjumba. The free entry convention today and tomorrow from 6.30pm at the hotel located at 2 Forbes Drive, Woburn, MA 01801. | |||||||||
