Walking Stick (Short Version)

December 2011

Gabon

3:03

Former Alliance worker Don Fairly received a walking stick from a village chief as a symbol of honor and trust for Don’s pledge to return to Gabon. It was the height of the Great Depression, and the sum needed to return to Africa seemed unattainable. But God enabled His servant to keep his promise to the people who wanted to hear more about Jesus.

Holy Spirit Empowerment

The Apostle Paul said, “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.” We believe this is the fiber of our being. Without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we can accomplish nothing.

Jesus, Our Coming King

Fourfold Gospel – Session 5 (Revelation 1:7)

13:13

The return of Jesus Christ to earth embodies the fulfillment of His promises and of the prophecies foretold about Him. This Second Coming, the culmination of the “blessed hope” of all believers, will be both public and visible. "Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen” (Revelation 1:7).

Prayer: Our Primary Work

Alliance Core Values – Session 3 (Philippians 4:6-7)

6:02

We believe that nothing of lasting value can be done unless it is bathed in prayer. His passionate belief that prayer undergirds all ministry compelled Alliance founder A. B. Simpson to create a prayer league that would focus on the world’s evangelization. He believed that this Prayer Alliance would prove to be the “mightiest force in the spread of missions.” That force still drives The Alliance today. Prayer is the primary work of God’s people.
