Conferences
Introduction
In our Western culture of America, we tend to have a very limited perspective, not only of the world, but also of God Himself. Believers in other parts of the world often have a very different understanding—and experience—of that reality which Jesus called "the Kingdom of God." So it with great delight that we hear from Ravi Kandal from Bangalore in southern India.
We know that you will be blessed by the Presence of the Lord as you come to these meetings. We will be having powerful worship with John Gabriel Arends at each meeting. Come ready for more of Jesus and to be inspired in your pursuit of the Kingdom.
Speakers and Worship
Ravi Kandal is a dear friend of The River and part of our family in the nations. Ravi has an unusual prophetic gift and has a powerful message and expression of the Kingdom of God—a revelation that is rare and life-changing. Born in Southern India, he gave his life to Jesus at the age of 17. From that time his heart has been stirred with the message that Jesus spoke to the disciples, to seek and save the lost. He is challanged with God’s heart for the poor and the untouchables of India: widows, orphans, lepers, and any who are forgotten. Ravi and his wife Julie both have a passion to share the love of Christ and to see those who are living in darkness set free. Ravi and Julie live in Bangalore, India with their daughter Nilaya and son Arya. Visit kingdomfoundations.org for more information.
John Gabriel Arends is the worship and young adults pastor at The River. He frequently leads worship at churches, conferences, and events locally and across the United States. John also leads worship in foreign nations, seeking to change the spiritual atmosphere of those nations and encouraging the local worship teams there. John has written many cutting edge worship songs that are being sung around the US and the world. To find out more about John and to listen to his music, visit johnarendsmusic.com.
