Joel 2:23, 24 reads, ‘Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you - The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.’

We are living in exciting times when this promise of Scripture is being fulfilled! As the bride of Christ, the Church awaits the imminent return of her bridegroom, the Lord is about to send an unprecedented downpour of His Holy Spirit upon us like never before.

The Downpour is an event that envisions an exceptional outpouring of the mighty rain of the Holy Spirit in the city of Toronto. As Elijah proclaimed the rain to the unbelieving king, let us proclaim revival in the city of Toronto. Let us join hands and unite to receive the fulfillment of the promise of God in these last days. 

The city of Toronto, over the past years has deserted God and has taken a stand against the principles and laws of the Lord. Consequentially, it now stands filled with sin, wickedness and immorality; the city has been pushed into a state of dryness, far away from the life-giving presence of God. Today we are desperately in need of God’s mighty reviving rain to breathe life and soundness into our city once again. We believe that this event will unite the body of Christ and bring Churches all through the GTA, to stir up this revival and renewing. The vision of this event is to be a channel through which this revival might be released, first to all believers and then among the youths of this city. For this purpose two kinds of meetings have been organized - the Believers’ conference and the youth conference. Evangelist Shyju Mathew has been invited to be the keynote speaker in these conferences. Evangelist Shyju Mathew, who is just 23 years of age is being used mightily by the Lord as an instrument in bringing in the last day revival.

Truly, there is a sound of a heavy rain that is being heard over the skies of our city. Let us prepare ourselves to receive this rain of revival the Lord is going to send. Please join us in this effort to bring revival to our city.
