The City, St. John's

St. John's shares the same name with it's discoverer, Ventetian explorer John Cabot, and it's namesake, Saint John the Baptist. It was founded on the morning of June 24th, 1494, by Cabot and his son Sebastian, when they first sailed into it's famous harbour.

St. John's is widely regarded as the oldest city in North America. It is also the most easterly, being a reason for the name, "Eastern Gate Church." It is very much a gate. The harbour is carved with great fashion by God, perfect for shelter from the rough seas, and a place for rest and trade. Overlooking the narrow of the harbour stands a hill, called, "Signal Hill." Much like Golgatha's hill, it stands alone over watch, in every direction below.

Cabot Tower stands atop Signal Hill and began construction in 1898, to commemorate both Queen Victoria's Jubilee and the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's voyage to the New World. In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi, recieved the first trans-Atlantic wireless transmission near the tower. Now, we believe the Gospel message will spread across many parts of the world from St. John's using the power of today's technology, over the Internet and wireless communication.

Pastor Gordon was called to St. John's by God, while attending Tommy Barnett's Pastor's conference in Phoenix Arizona, in 1988. As Pastor Gordon looked out over the city of Arizona, God showed him the city of St. John's, and revival.

Being so old, is good. However, there is strong religion in these waters. Religion puts our eyes down, but the Holy Ghost puts our eyes up. Pastor Young is believing that strong holds will come down, and that there will be a great revival starting from St. John's. That is the supernatural vision that God has put in his spirit.

It has been around 25 years since Pastor Gordon first began to preach in St. John's, so the work is still young. It took 400 years to put Cabot Tower on Signal Hill, so 25 years to set it on fire is quick work.

John the Baptist was the forerunner of Christ, and made the way straight. We believe, and it has been prophesied, that a last great move of God, will start from this city before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please believe with us. Amen.
