Bishop Joe Kurian – 50 Years in Ministry Celebration, United Kingdom

What a remarkable weekend in the United Kingdom! On Saturday, hundreds gathered in the Dormers Auditorium to honor a life well-lived and a ministry well-done. Bishop Joe Kurian was the Guest of Honor as we celebrated his 50 years of faithful service.

Guest speakers included myself, Bishop Claion Grandison, National Overseer of the United Kingdom, and Bishop Eric Brown, former National Overseer—along with greetings from many distinguished colleagues. The heartfelt worship, powerful messages, and joyful fellowship meal made it a truly memorable celebration.

Then on Sunday morning, I was honored to share the message at the Southall Church of God—a thriving congregation in the greater London area.

Blessings and continued success to you and your family, Bishop Kurian. It was a wonderful weekend celebrating a faithful servant and great leader in the Kingdom of God.

Today in Krakow, Poland 🇵🇱

Our ETS Studio Manager, Rafael Dragomir, and I were privileged to minister at the Church of God in Krakow, known as “The Church of Jesus Christ.”

We are here this week filming a feature on their remarkable growth and their ongoing National Church and Ministry Center building program.

Bishop Wojciech Wloch, who also serves as the National Overseer of Poland, has led this church through an incredible season of expansion — growing from just 5 churches to more than 80, and launching a bold church-planting initiative of 300 additional churches over the next decade.

This is what a missional movement looks like!

Dr. Wloch, thank you for your visionary leadership, and to your entire pastoral team — you are truly amazing.
Dr. Jonathan Augustine, as Superintendent, you have led this region to new and greater heights. Blessings to you all!

🌍✨ ALIVE 2025 – A Night to Remember in Riga! ✨🌍

What an outpouring of God’s Spirit we experienced last night at the European Continental Congress! Evangelist Nathan Morris delivered a fiery message under a powerful anointing that shook the atmosphere. Hearts were stirred, lives were changed, and the presence of God was undeniable.

Meanwhile, our Shake the Nations street evangelism teams went into the city with boldness, sharing the Gospel with hundreds of people face-to-face. Countless seeds of faith were planted as the love of Christ touched the streets of Riga in a tangible way.

By evening, thousands filled the Atta Centre, lifting their voices in worship, crying out for revival, and responding to the call of God. It was a moment of unity across nations, languages, and generations—truly a glimpse of what God is doing across Europe.

🙏 We invite you to continue standing with us in prayer throughout this weekend. Pray that many more will encounter the power of the Gospel, that revival fires will spread, and that lives will be eternally transformed.

Europe is alive with the sound of revival! 🔥
