and filled the whole house where they were sitting.”

Join Host Pastor A.R. Bernard, Concerts of Prayer President Gary Frost, and American Bible Society President Doug Birdsall, as we kick off our 30-day journey through the book of Acts together.

This is not just an event but a BEGINNING! Just like on the day of Pentecost when believers of differing nationalities and generations came together in one accord, we will be praying to see a mighty move of God reverberate through the corporate body of Christ, our city and Nation!

Why is NOW The Time?
In light of the imminent Return of Jesus Christ, it is time for the Church to unify for action. We are challenged to move beyond our secondary differences to pursue God’s primary purpose of demonstrating the love of Christ to New York City and beyond. NOW is the time for God’s people to awaken to the urgent call to unite in prayer and to serve Christ by serving others. NOW is the time for the Greater New York area to see Christ through the visible unity of His body, the Church.                                                                                                

What is "NOW Is The Time"?
“NOW Is The Time” is a 30-Day ministry initiative in which Christians in the Greater New York Area and now through out America,  will collaborate to:

  • Pray For Revival and Awakening, 
  • Engage Scripture and increase bible literacy, and 
  • Serve The Community in the name of Jesus Christ.                                                               

Our vision is to see Followers of Christ mobilized to pursue God in “extraordinary” fashion that He might demonstrate His saving and transforming power in the lives of All Christians. “NOW Is The Time” to make an eternal difference!  

 

What Are The Benefits to My Church? 
 

  • Free 30 or 40-Day Scripture Engagement Materials for your Congregation from American Bible Society; 

  • Opportunities to Collaborate with Churches/Ministries to Serve Our Neediest Communities; and 

  • Connection with the larger Body of Christ regionally and nationally.

  • NOW is the Time: 2012

    “Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes (our armor of prayer); each had his weapon (the Word), even when he went for water.” Nehemiah 4:23, NIV

    Community Service: This Summer join service efforts, held in conjunction with Convoy of Hope, to make Christ visible and tangible in the neediest communities of the Bronx and Hempstead, Long Island. With the help of hundreds of volunteers free groceries, job and health fairs, and activities for children will be provided. In doing so, volunteers will receive an opportunity to connect with community members, and guests will be shown love and respect regardless of age, race, physical appearance, or spiritual condition.  

     

    What Must I/We Do?

    • Designate a Liaison to Coordinate with Key Ministries within Your Congregation and the regional Body of Christ. 

     

    In 2012 we engaged in the book of Nehemiah.

    April 8 to May 27, 2012 Beginning at Easter, Until Pentecost, and Beyond!
    Nehemiah, a godly man of integrity employed in the court of a foreign king, is our spiritual model for “NOW Is The Time” in 2012. Social values across our region have eroded while the Church has faced opposition. The Book of Nehemiah reminds us of the need for the spiritual renewal of God’s people, the importance of prayer, and faith & action in the face of opposition.
