(Bogota, Colombia)On December 27, over a million people met in Simon Bolivar Park in an annual gathering to thank God for His goodness and to commit the coming year to Him.
This year's theme was "We are going for more."
The event was started seven years ago by Pastors Ricardo and Maria Patricia Rodrigues, founders of the Worldwide Revival Center, which is the largest Hispanic church in Latin America. Since its inception, the event has become the largest Christian gathering on the South American continent.
"Our pastors have the vision that one day Bogota will be called the 'City of God,'" said Juliana Guzman, a spokesperson for the Center.
"Years ago," she added, "the Lord showed [Christian leaders] a map of Colombia. It was dry and broken. But then showers of rain made it blossom and prosper. This is the revival we are experiencing. Every person in
the world needs to know what is happening here because it is for them too."
