ORLANDO, Fla., April 29, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Coming up in May, GOD TV will air Mission Possible LIVE from the Netherlands and Jerusalem 2015, LIVE from Israel. Both events focus on equipping believers to embrace the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming people's lives and aim to mobilize the Church to reach those nations still opening up to the Gospel. Both large-scale gatherings will be broadcast for five days to a global reach of some 950 million viewers.
Mission Possible – May 13-17, 2015
In the second week of May GOD TV will once again broadcast Mission Possible daily from the Netherlands with popular ministry leaders, Loren Cunningham, Heidi Baker, Lou Engle and Bill Johnson. Hosted by Mattheus van der Steen of Touch, Reach and Impact the Nations (TRIN), Mission Possible seeks to equip believers to be more effective in sharing their faith around the world, especially in those nations still opening up to Christianity. The broadcasts from Nijkerk, in the heart of Holland, will also feature Dutch evangelist Andrew van der Bijl, known as Brother Andrew, who is famous for smuggling Bibles into communist countries during the Cold War.
Jerusalem 2015 – May, 20-24, 2015
In the third week of May, GOD TV will broadcast eight sessions from Jerusalem 2015, hosted by Empowered21. This global congress will span five days with believers gathering at the Payis Arena, the city's new 15,000-seater venue, to hear from over 100 world-renowned speakers. Co-chaired by Oral Roberts University's President, Billy Wilson and the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, George Wood, the congress will feature top Christian leaders from many countries. Speakers from the USA include Jack Hayford, Morris Cerullo, Marilyn Hickey, Jentezen Franklin, Cindy Jacobs, Dennis Lindsay, Ron Luce, Gordon Robertson, Steve Strang and many others.
A highlight of the LIVE broadcasts is the Bethlehem Celebration of Peace, an outdoor event at Manger Square, where Jesus is said to have been born. This historic gathering takes place on Friday 22 May with Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda. The Holy Spirit Unity Celebration will be broadcast from the River Jordan on Saturday May 23 and the Pentecost Global Day of Prayer will air on May 24 with Robert Stearns and others at King of Kings Community, Jerusalem. Jerusalem 2015 culminates later that evening with a commissioning service at the arena, themed "To The Ends Of The Earth In Our Generation."
