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.

The first Toronto Down Pour meetings were held in the month of July 2009. It was a great blessing for thousands. Evangelist Shyju Mathews from India was invited as the keynote speaker for Toronto DownPour-2009 meetings. Different language speaking Churches, Ministries and many individuals came together and made a blessed event. For the coming Year-2010, we have planned to make these meetings in a different level, to be blessed and to bless many people, by fulfilling the will of our Lord Jesus Christ.

During November 2009, Fall Rally was organized and Evng.Ty Jackson from Toronto was the key note speaker. Lot of youths accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. It was a very successfull rally for the Lord.

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.
