ESTEVAN — The Estevan Church of God is going to be the site of six nights of Holy Ghost Fire Tent Revival services from Aug. 4-9.
The services will occur nightly at 6 p.m. and will feature preaching from Len Lindstrom, who has spoken in more than 100 countries.
Pastors Dennis and Eva Spenst, who are from Langley, B.C., are overseeing the tent revival coming to the Energy City.
"His goal is to bring a message of healing, to pray for people, to bless people and to bring a good message of healing," said Dennis. "I've seen lots of healing in ministry."
Prior to coming to Estevan, Lindstrom was in Edmonton, and healings have occurred through his crusades.
The couple has known Lindstrom for more than 40 years.
The revival will also feature baptisms for people who become Christians during the services. Eva added there would be time for worship and testimonies. There will be an offering each night to help with the cost of Lindstrom's upcoming ministries overseas.
"There are some people who received healing when he was here 15 years ago, so they are going to come and share what has happened," said Eva.
About 10 volunteers have committed to help with setting up the tent the day before the services begin, and then the tent will be taken down on Aug. 10.
Dennis noted that Lindstrom wants to meet with the pastors in Estevan and bring them together as much as possible.
The Spensts are very familiar with Estevan and visit the community each summer. They wanted to bring Lindstrom back to Estevan three years ago, but their plans were scuttled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they believe this is the time God wants to have the revival occur.
"People had some visions here, and we had a vision, so it's like a confirmation of people speaking together," said Eva.
They noted Calven Johnson, and Madison and Dylan DesRosiers have all played an instrumental role in bringing the revival event to Estevan. They have also connected with the Estevan Church of God and the Jesus Our Light International Ministries church.
And they also spend time counselling with Indigenous communities and sharing their faith journey.
