2023 Vision

“And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. [Heb. 10:37, 38.]”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

II. God’s work in us

“But thank God, though you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient with all your heart to the standard of teaching in which you were instructed and to which you were committed. And having been set free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in thought, purpose, and action).”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

  • Decision to leave everything of the world behind.
  • Work to be done in you, it must start with you!
  • Willingness to place yourself to learn, serve, study and change!

III. Stepping out

“Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

  • Full of the Holy Spirit

IV. God’s heavenly blueprint

“Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Out of these instructions, the River Church Finland & River Bible Institute Finland was born. To see eternal fruit in Finland.

  • Every ear to hear the gospel in Finland
  • God first. Honor God in Finland.
  • Revival fire burning in Finland.
  • New breed to rise up, who carry the River on the inside of them.

With our pastor, Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne, we join in the vision to see the 300 raised up Finland (like Gideon saw in his day):

300 pastors
300 evangelists
300 business millionaires and leaders

  • The 300 knew how to drink. (Acts 2)

(“And the Lord said to Gideon, With the 300 men who lapped I will deliver you, and give the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others return every man to his home.” ‭‭Judges‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬ ‭AMPC‬‬)

Are you part of the 300?
