60th Celebration
February 11th, 2008 marks the 60th Anniversary of the Latter Rain Revival that was sparked in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada. This movement quickly circled the globe and its influence is ongoing in several streams of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement.
We are planning a celebration of this anniversary at St. Luke’s, Seattle –
Sunday February 10th (7 PM) – Celebration Service with Jim & Marie Watt
24 Hour Prayer Vigil (7 PM Sunday to 7 PM Monday) in St. Luke’s Original Chapel (where the Charismatic Renewal was brokered with Fr. Dennis Bennett)
Monday February 11th (7 PM) - Celebration Service with Jim & Marie Watt
Seven elders gave oversight to the first Camp Meetings in July 1948 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. Jim Watt is the last living elder from that original group!
To commemorate this historic event, I had the privilege of interviewing Jim and Marie Watt for two days in their home in Federal Way, WA. These interviews have been edited onto three DVD’s – a total of 5 hours!
The themes include (30 min. video segments each) –
A Chronology of the Latter Rain Revival
Positive Impact of the Latter Rain Revival
Negatives of the Latter Rain Revival
9 Renewal Streams that Emerged from the Latter Rain Revival
The Presbytery – Its function and practical issues
Five-Fold Ministry (Ephesians 4:11ff.)

Marie Watt’s Reflections on the July and Fall ’48 Vancouver, BC Meetings
Added Footage –
