What does it look like when 1,800 students explode onto the world scene to be poured out like oil. It looks like REVIVAL! That is what happens every year in March at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and we want you to be a part of capturing that revival.

Whether you are a photographer, videographer, or a story-teller, we want you to convey to the world His miracles, testimonies, and experiences. The bible says “they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony” and when we seize that in a creative way we can use it to transfer that healing, breakthrough, or encounter with God to others.
Contest Deadline: April 19th, 2013 by 11:59pm (EARLY SUBMISSIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED)
