2026 Pentecost Message
Rev. Karl B. Johnson, BWA ChairA Global Pentecost Message
The Church: God’s Spirit-Infused Gift to the World
At Pentecost, God revealed the Church as His Spirit-infused gift to the world. A living community empowered to proclaim salvation, pursue justice, serve with compassion, and reflect the love of Christ in every generation.
Reverend Karl B. Johnson calls the global Church to renewed faithfulness through prayer, fellowship, integrity, evangelism, and courageous witness. The same Holy Spirit poured out in Acts 2 still empowers believers today to bring hope, transformation, and healing to a broken world.
The Church is not merely an institution; it is God’s living presence at work through his people.
