When the church drifts away from the faithful practice of the Apostle's  Doctrine, the burden falls upon the faithful to revive that 'faith.' In the years given to us, we must give ourselves to that burden of revival in the Church. Christ is coming soon! We are faced with actions in deed, testimony and faith. Our efforts are to function in unity of the faith. With the world wide vision and burden, the church have declared a passion for lost men and women everywhere. In several nations the church has established school programs for training of nations ministers and pastors. Thus churches established to bring about revival in their native lands.
