I love Jesus and His Church with all my heart. The book you hold in your hands is based on the messages I have shared at CRC Churches International Conferences over the past two decades. It encapsulates the vision and the direction of the movement to which I belong. What a privilege to be called by Jesus to contend for the Gospel and co-labour with such a fine group of pastors, leaders and churches.

What you are about to read reflects my deepest convictions about how I see Jesus’ Kingdom advancing upon the earth. In the pages of this book I off er my best thoughts and reflections on the distinctive characteristics of what a truly revived movement looks like as it tries to stay centred on the New Testament pattern for revival. As I pondered the best title for this book, it dawned on me that the word REVIVAL has been the only constant to CRC Churches International’s four name changes over the past 75 years.
