Pentecost Season Dedicated to Raise Leaders
Centered around Pentecost, the event to celebrate the Holy Spirit being poured down on the first apostles of Christ, enabling them to become powerful leaders of the early church, the World Olivet Assembly holds leadership trainings and conferences worldwide with the goal to raise competent and wide-hearted leaders for all ministries.

For Pentecost, churches and fellowships worldwide will hold regional or local gatherings in order to remember and refresh the great grace that was given through the Holy Spirit which, following the cross and resurrection of Christ, came down on all people without discrimination as the gift of forgiveness and reconciliation from God. Churches of the World Olivet Assembly celebrate this event to strengthen their foundation on Christ and to confirm the great commission entrusted to them: to witness Christ and to preach His gospel to everyone.
