Pope Francis continually invites us into Christ’s heart of mercy. Pope St. John Paul II wrote that humanity is “destined for grace and glory.” Grace and glory are marvelous fruits of his mercy.
We believe that God, seeing the battle Christians are experiencing in an often hostile and secular culture, desires that we experience in new and wonderful ways, his merciful grace and the beauty and power of his manifest glory among us.
“Father, I desire that those you have given me will be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory.” (John 17:24)

Experience the Living Waters of the Holy Spirit
Jesus stood up and exclaimed, “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink. Whoever believes in mye, as scripture says: ‘Rivers of living water will flow from within him.'” (John 7:37-38)
Do you want to share your faith? Do you want to see the Holy Spirit touch people through you in power? Pope Francis inspired the Church at Circus Maximus in Rome, June 2017, with a prophetic call to experience the movement of the Holy Spirit in what he called God’s glorious Current of Grace. The Pope believes there is so much more that God wants to do in our world, through each of us! When the Holy Spirit touches the human heart, He makes known His joy and freedom. Georgian Banov and his students will train all in ways that they have learned to identify God’s glorious presence within, to give our faith to the poor. We will go out into the streets in teams with Global Celebration students and experience the grace of the Holy Spirit in a new way that heals hearts, strengthens people, and helps you to live your life with a new vision, passion, and purpose. Come and:
- Identify the Holy Spirit’s movement
- Train in activating your gifts to minister to friends and family
- Discover new ways to evangelize in the power of the Holy Spirit
- Experience awesome praise and worship
- Experience healing, deliverance, and breaking free of things that weigh us down
This evening conference will end in a free healing service at Covenant United Methodist Church to heal and refresh you more in the Spirit than you thought possible.
The conference will be led by Fr. Fred Close and Georgian Banov, chock-full of fun, inspiration, and even some Russian worship songs.

He is now the pastor at St. Anthony of Padua parish in Washington, D.C. where he has led various praise and worship meetings and hosted other evangelistic events. He currently serves as the English liaison to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the Archdiocese of Washington.

We are dedicating time to seek God through the Biblical prayer of 2 Chronicles 7:14 where God promises the healing and restoration of our land if his people would humble themselves and turn from sin. Inspired by this prayer, the day will include praise and worship, dynamic preaching and a new call to repentance for our sins against the Lord and for our lack of seeking his face and his Word.
This will be a Catholic and Ecumenical Summit proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are also praying for unity among the Christian denominations and peoples. Come join us as we pray for conversion and revival!

The Prophecy School with Damian Stayne
July 28-30, 2017
Mother of God Community,
Goshen Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20879
The gift of prophecy is fundamental to the identity of every Christian. We are a “Prophetic People” (Vatican II) – baptized priests, prophets and kings. Prophecy is the gift of receiving from God His inspired message; words which have the power to exhort, encourage and inspire us in the power of the Holy Spirit. They can bring insight, wisdom, and encouragement for our lives. Do you want to learn how to hear God’s voice better? Do you want to be a more effective witness?
This school will offer you teaching and training in the gifts of prophecy, words of knowledge and wisdom. There will be practical workshops with the opportunity to put into practice what is taught and to receive prophetic revelation, encouragement and comfort from others.
The school will also have times of praise & worship, silent adoration and Holy Mass. Course participants will receive a course booklet.
