"The Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, his “delay” simply reveals his loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance."

As senior pastors of Family Life Christian Center in the Chicago area for 15 years, we felt a strong call from God to believe in and pray for revival to touch our land and extend to the world. Following this divine guidance, we moved to Hawaii and served as directors of Revival Watch for the next decade.

However, the Lord impressed upon our hearts that this global revival would "start" in the central Texas area before spreading across the United States and eventually reaching all corners of the world. Now situated in the greater Austin area (leaving beautiful Hawaii), we are actively engaged in supporting ministries that share our vision and anticipation for the forthcoming revival.
