It is time for the church to be strengthened for the times we are in, and the mission ahead.

The Apostolic grace and Prophetic anointing that will be released and imparted by the Holy Spirit will do just that.

Eph 3:16-17 "... that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..."

The church needs strength and backbone; it needs a clarion call.

At Behold Strength 2 Strength that call will be going out!

Speakers include...

Daniel & Chelsea Hagen

Founders, Fire Church Ministries, Victoria, Australia

In 2003, Daniel Hagin radically surrendered his life to Jesus Christ in a powerful encounter that would shake up his world of sex, drugs & rock’n’roll. As a rising musician, he immediately walked away from the life of fame & fortune to pursue his true passion: knowing the Father more, and making Him known to the nations.

Chelsea was born again in 2004, previously living life as an atheist crippled by intense fear & alcoholism. Today she stands as a bold radical revivalist who believes in the power of God to work miracles. She is a recognized prophetic voice for her nation (Australia) and abroad.

Today Daniel & his wife Chelsea are the senior ministers of Fire Church in Victoria, Associate Directors of Awakening Australia & leader of Awakening Music.
