Edmonton

In November 2004 over 800 intercessors from across Canada assembled as a remnant seed of the new Joel's army of the Lord rising in the nation. Through different prophetic acts, the Lord called the First Peoples, the mothers, the fathers, the Gen X and the youth to arise and take their place in the ranks of this army.

A leadership of the Holy Spirit that many dreamed of began to see the first seeds of a reality. A leadership of function rather than position that would allow the Lord could use whomever He chose to lead, however He wanted and the whole body was able to discern and to follow.
