Northwest Equipping

Friends and Relations in equipping the Body of Christ in the Pacific Northwest.

Anthropologists describe "The Northwest Region" as everything from the lower BC mainland through northern California, and so we define it here.

These are listed in no particular order.

Northwest Prophetic is a gathering together into one place the various prophetic words that have been declared about the greater Pacific Northwest, and words that relate to the greater Northwest region: from Vancouver BC through northern California. This collection is intended (among other things) as support for individuals and groups who are praying for the Pacific Northwest: these are some of the things that God has declared that He wants to do. Please use these prophetic words to learn about the destiny of our region, and to pray for that destiny and for the move of God in our region.

Just as there are many different kinds of people, the calling and character of each congregation will be unique. We have no cookie-cutter pattern for a river church. We just want to start as many as we can wherever we can as God opens doors. Therefore we want to mentor, launch, and support church planters.
