BRINGING The Bahamas ‘Back To God Global Prayer, Prophecy Deliverance and Revival - spearheaded by Mattie Nottage Ministries - was much more than a themed conference, it was a “life-changing” experience for many.

The event was recently held at Baha Mar welcoming thousands from around the world and locally during its day and evening sessions.

Eager attendees came from as far as Asia, Austria, Africa, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Serbia, the Netherlands, and Europe. Several representatives from various Caribbean Islands were also in attendance, including Jamaica, Antigua, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, St Lucia, Cayman, St Kitts and the British Virgin Islands.

“Once the atmosphere was set, Prophetess Dr Mattie Nottage escalated from the praise to sound teaching and preaching which gave away and birthed the miraculous before our very eyes. We saw the crippled get up and walk from the wheelchairs which had them bound and immobile. Children were delivered from torment and sleepless nights. Entire families were delivered from generational curses and familiar spirits and those suffering from witchcraft oppression were totally set free,” said Elthea Ash, a representative of the ministry.

“The Spirit of God used Prophetess Mattie Nottage profoundly to release words of wisdom, knowledge and insight like rivers of living water flowing in abundance into the lives of those who were waiting on God for a word in due season. It was an amazing time,” she said.

The massive convening of global intercessors, prayer warriors and believers was hosted by senior pastors of Believers Faith Outreach Ministries International, Apostle Dr Edison and Prophetess Dr Nottage. Also featured at the event was the ministry of Evangelist and author Dr Mark Chironna, founder of the Church On The Living Edge in Orlando, Florida.

Ms Ash said conference attendees gave overwhelming testimony of the event’s impact on their lives.

“Every day, scores of testimonies were told of eager attendees whose lives were tremendously blessed. None of the local or international guests left disappointed, as day by day, miracles, deliverances, supernatural healings and accurate prophetic utterances were released in the lives of the people. God’s man of faith and power, Edison Nottage, backed by the Believers Faith Outreach Ministries Praise Team lead the congregation in a time of dynamic, exciting praise and worship. The Believers Faith youth department shared exuberant and unforgettable performances through dance and singing,” she said.

The aim of the conference was to instill in attendees the importance of having a dependency on God and an active prayer life, especially in turbulent times.

“This gathering truly ignited a passion and a fire in the lives of people everywhere, regardless of nationality, race, creed, or color, “ she said

During this momentous occasion, the Edison and Mattie Nottage “Global Prayer Wall For All Nations” was dedicated and consecrated to God.

“A powerful prophetic monument that is a reminder for believers to pray without ceasing,” she said.

The ordination and anointing of several ministers who will advance the work of Believers Faith Outreach Ministries, International through the Global Prayer Partnership initiatives in Virginia, Texas and Exuma were also held.

“The lives of people near and far, local and international will never be the same. As the flames of repentance, restoration and revival burned in the hearts of all who attendees.”
