We are in a kairos time in world history. As nations are in uproar, economies in upheaval, social order declining, and times increasingly tumultuous, God is beckoning His church to advance His Kingdom. In response, Transform World is convening a "Transform World Global Challenge Summit" November 6-9 in Indonesia. Under the Lord's guidance, anointing, and directions, 7 critical challenges facing the body of Christ will be discussed with focused visionary mobilization and engagement of the 7 spheres/mountains of cultural influence from all regions of the world. The convening will catalyze and launch a 7 year concentration on these challenges with intentional inclusion of the 4/14 window and next generation. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated for all those sacrificing their time to come. The 7 challenges and spheres are as follows:
