Aware of similar moves under way in the eastern states initiated by the Rev Dan Armstrong and Kairos Ministries, I felt a need to bring leaders together across Western Australia. Recently I have observed a marked increase in the number of interdenominational prayer meetings and in fellowship activities aimed at building relationships between evangelical and charismatic leaders in Western Australia. Politicians, judges and heads of some Bible Colleges are among those beginning to come together for prayer and fellowship. There appears to be a warming of the spiritual atmosphere over the state, similar to the Greenhouse effect. As the impetus towards unity increases and relationships are built, I am noticing a decrease in competitiveness.
Leaders desire increasing cooperation.
Pastors talk about such subjects as discovering God's plan for taking our cities, networking with the wider Body of Christ, establishing the church of the city, and discovering and sharing each congregation's redemptive gift. I have concluded that unity is bringing a synergy to the Body of Christ in Western Australia. I believe that one of the reasons why God withholds revival is that he knows our nets are insufficiently strong or mature to contain the catch. Historically, revivals have lasted for about a generation for this reason. Eventually the nets broke down.
