How organisations should repent of their sins

Many people take the attitude that solving EveryNations problems is just an adminstrative or leadership issue. Really such problems are based on much deeper spiritual issues. Many EveryNation leaders and followers have behaved in a way that brings disgrace to the gospel. We cannot expect the problems to be solved without genuine deep repentance.

Please click on the link below to read the classic sermon by Richard Owen Roberts on the repentance of churches, nations and groups of people.
http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/articles/index.php?view=article&aid=2710

Roberts, a scholar of revival demonstrates how organisational repentance (the gathering of assemblies of people to confess and repent of their sins and seek God for forgiveness - usually for long periods and accompanied with fasting)- is both biblical and has been practiced by the church regularly and for most of its history - only recently becoming unpopular in our arrogant godless age.

As far as I can see, this type of repentance is the only way for His People Ministries and EveryNation Ministries to obtain God's forgiveness for the sins of the organisation and recover his blessing.

Please read the link and encourage others also to read it. As I see it, this route of repentance is the only hope we have. Even structual changes without such repentance will not sort out the underlying spiritual problems that plague the ministry.

I am encouraged to see a sermon on this topic from Pastor Ray McCullum of Austin
Texas. He also says his church has been engaging in organisational repentance.

Who is also featured on the EveryNation web site.

Though I am giving an incomplete response to all you say, I am reminded that true revival HAS ALWAYS BEEN DOMINATED AND FILLED WITH REPENTANCE.... BY EVERYONE. So intertwined is repenance and revival that I do not believe it is possible to have revival without a tidal wave of repentance. Which comes first, I don't know. It may be that revival prompts repentance. But a church that is claiming to be holding a revival, but is not repenting including among its leaders, is just engaged in a public relations exercise.
