"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. (2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. (3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. (4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave the utterance." ~ Acts 2:1-4 |
The International Circle of Faith (ICOF) is the continuation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.
Since that time this same Holy Spirit has manifested itself in a number of ‘outpourings’ or ‘movements’. In the last 100
years there have been a number of notable such events; the outpouring in Topeka Kansas in 1901, the subsequent outpouring
at Azusa Street, the Latter Rain in 1948 and the Charismatic movement in the 1970’s. These historic events positioned
believers for renewing, reawakening, revival and revitalization in the Body of Christ. After each of these there has been a
concerted effort to control, preserve or contain.
The ICOF is focused on rather allowing this free flow of the Holy Spirit to continue and to be a conduit for such. We do not
hold that we are the whole of the Body, nor do we exclude our fellow believers from participation based on religious
documents. Rather we encourage those who believe that Jesus Christ is the manifestation of Almighty God to come and join
hands and hearts with us as together we participate in the greatest move of the Holy Spirit the World has ever known.
Using the great Apostle Paul as our guide we welcome Jews and Greeks, men and women, bond and free to participate in our
association. We envision the day people from all kindred, tongues, tribes and nations coming together in a marvelous display
of the demonstration and power of the Holy Spirit. Like a choir, this group will have one voice but will be made up of many
individual parts. We see this wave focusing on the restoration of the Apostolic and we are positioned to be part of that wave.
