NATIONAL EVANGELISTIC PRAYER WATCH OUTREACH.
The above was birthed in the middle of 2004. Bishop Sekhonyane had set aside 3 years to visit all Churches planted from 1984. He got the shock of his life when he visited and found the Churches running empty and on the brink of collapsing. Moreover the change that had come to a many men and women of God who were now talking “another gospel”
Because of the infiltration of unbiblical doctrines. On calculation, he realized that 80% of the work that took him 20 years to do had gone down the drain. A sheer loss. It was when he sought God’s face that he was told by the Lord Himself that he must go back and start from the scratch and “this time you tell them that I the Lord their God is calling them back to prayer. For therein lies their joy of salvation, victorious and miraculous living that will transform their lives, ministries and their Land.” That was then the birth of National Evangelistic Prayer Watch Outreach.
