ROAD TO REVELATION: LONDON // EPISODE 2 | ...AND SO, IT BEGINS
Watch on YouTube ↗ Read transcript ↓
Summary
In one line: "Road to Revelation: London" (Ep. 2): the team had begun scouting another country when the prophet said "no — we need to do London" — "the church was born in Europe; revival has to happen there."
Key moments
- Scouting London venues — many refused church events; they chose Evolution London in a park for 27 October.
- Costs: Dallas "a couple hundred thousand," Miami ~$300k, Houston ~$390k, London an estimated ~$520,000. CFO JT Boyd, who sold his own business, manages finances; "we only started Sunday services in 2021."
- Media brainstorms: a cinematic passport-to-plane promo, a Big Ben countdown; producer Esther, who returned from New York at his call. The events team (led by Elena) spent over six months planning.
- Partners: "Jesus Himself had partners" — those called to support specific works; "we will withhold nothing so that every soul assigned to this ministry is touched."

we're in London London all the work that goes into taking these nights anywhere whether we're going down the street or across the world we take a team just to look into the possibilities that that land can hold so when we even went to London just to scout that venue and every place that we've gone we've done the same it's a process of being able to step foot on that land knowing that God has given it to us in possession but also to see what is going to accommodate the work that God has given us to do two days set if they want to do a rehearsal day so see what happen see when when we go and we Scout these venues there's a whole team here on ground that has done months of preliminary research just to accommodate this small team to be able to scout X Y andz venue so when we went there were a few that just were not interested at all in having a church event there there were some that were interested but unavailable so we saw a few venues and what it came down to was what is God leading us towards all sort of J jurisdiction is around the the Gated you see the sort of fence that goes around the park and the entrance is where you came in on the on the gate up we looked at several places and then when we found the evolution because we already knew what we're going to look at we scheduled it when we got there we just knew this is the place it's going to look amazing it's going to be able to cater to people it's in a park it's a venue in a park so it means it will be mainly us it will be a lot of other things going on so it's easier to navigate to control and and it's and and this is the part that is even more beautiful everyone that was there was there in the house it's people that that were there when when the call began the first apostles were there so it's a it's a phenomenal thing to see God is gracious we saw you and we like that's love God bless you you I'm doing well I'm doing well how are you you good to see you in London yeah we're doing a meeting here uh at the what is it Evolution Evolution London it's going to be powerful it's going to be really good it's really really good to see you good to see people want God and people want Solutions whenever the presence of God is in a place that is where the healing the deliverance and transformation is it's something about being able to recognize and be sensitive enough to the Holy Spirit to say this is it so that's what happened we're going to be at at Evolution London on October 27th but know that what came before you ever stepping into that room will be the answer that God has been waiting to release to each person that's coming so whether you're coming from France whether you're coming from Germany or Spain or any of the surrounding countries in Europe that are easily accessed via London we thank God for you now and we thank God for the work that is being done in you even now with just your commitment to come to this service with just your commitment to say Lord I don't know what I'm doing or Lord I'm so hungry and desperate for you I have to be there we thank God for you even now do I even have one of those Party come guys welcome welcome to my office this is this is this is uh Madam director of Ministries this is this is our our digital branding uh correspondent EX you broke it h you broke I break broke the floor yeah this is this is this is U master of all things this is the Apostle Apostle Gan the associate pastor wow Apostle G un to stand next to the chairman no no no no you preached the house down last night what can we do what can we do only differences in all the other places we've been to because it's here in the state you kind of still feel like a sense of you know confidence in just how you can maneuver and things like that London feels more like okay like let's make sure we do it right let's make sure we we don't mess up and and and the team has done a great job from our events team to our HR to to just all of our all of our leaders to just to prep the team ready for how how the laws are different what what our code of conduct as a traveling team is going to be and what London seems to be for us is it's a bold statement it really is it really is a bold statement um not that churches can't travel but I think the thing that humbles me is because we just started having Sunday service in 2021 how what was loy's house the one night a week you know it's now a one night a week in your city Town country that's baffling and and so from an expense standpoint Dallas was a couple hundred th000 my Amy was closer to the 300,000 Houston was like closer to the 400,000 like the 390,000 and then now we have London and London we're we've already surpassed uh Houston so we're estimating um I would say maybe about 520,000 that's where it's sitting right now JT Boyd is a very quintessential part of our ministry he not only has the skill set he has the determination the endurance the patience and and the intellectual ability to be able to look at numbers like I've never seen to manage and be able to prioritize what is the importance of what we are doing and how do we make that happen in the sense of our finances he is our CFO our Chief Financial Officer and he is part of our board one thing about JT is that he's always been a ones and zeros person he run a very successful business so he's already he is somebody that understands how to run an organization right so when the time came and he had to let go of his business and sell it he asked me and said of course do it but his ability to follow through and to know every moving piece is what put him in that position I said n JT is the best person to do that okay guys let's get started need out let's get started no you can stay for you to be here dang wearing a revelation immedia Shir yeah I know Monday I know I know I thought it was appropriate um pretty much we want to start I want to start we're going to get debrief on a little bit prophetic school and

to always want things to look phenomenal and me I'm a perfectionist so somebody who likes Perfection is perfect for me especially when it comes to like displaying what is being done and Esther work styly you know she was she came to the house and then she stayed in touch she went to New York and she kept up with me and and when we were moving to the new building I called I said Esther you need to come back because it's time to work and she was doing film stuff but she was also like you know hustling staying afloat told her Esther you need to come because this is what we need to do now she flew in and she landed and she landed came straight to my house set up cameras and started working immediately what if like you know how like the B Ben Big Ben clock is you know counting forward what if we were counting backwards and the time Revelation nights would be the clock ends at 1212 or like right on the right on the that 12 you know what I'm saying I love that I love the Big Ben um using Big Ben idea what you think doing okay you know that edit I want to do this edit so bad this is like my dream my dream edit I want to go into Papa's watch do some crazy thing and come out of the big band watch the big band clock yeah saying I want to do that so bad I want to do that so bad that's all I want to do that for our for our five minute timer or like some kind of countown no on the LED wall on the worship on the worship on the LED wall you're like in the clock like the LED wall the worship is in the clock no like it's on the LED wall you're in the clock and then it like pulls out and then it's like Big Ben that should be the day we air for London that should be the day yeah pu it bang right I'm talking but I'm talking about leading up I'm talking about know I'm saying great idea I love that I'm talking about leading up to it you how every cuz every Friday we want a drop and that's like I don't know how we would scheme it or whatever but like every hour decreasing until the time we get to London now Big Ben is at 1212 the hour where we really do whatever it's just it's just a concept that I just thought my favorite roll out ever on TV is the 25 days till Christmas 25 different movies oh the free form family ABC say you do a great one that's my thought like that was my thought initially when I said the idea was like how do we have our own version of that's a good idea you know what I'm saying 25 days till L why don't you guys keep chat why don't you guys keep chatting about ideas Brandon and I are going to go down and chat with the other creative team you know if you guys want to chat a little bit more before the editors come like who if they're going to start we're going to have them start pulling Revelation nights teaching or are they going to keep on what what um things do we want them to start editing and then we'll be back and we can continue chatting about some more London creative and so and start putting it on the schedule and like setting some deadlines sound good nights London it's also like a little old to London you know it's your papa says it's your time right so always respecting and it's an O to London we love you you're coming to bless your city we want to make sure we're mindful of so we have here on ground an events committee that is solely and completely dedicated to preparing us to have various events whether inh housee or when we travel for reation nights or what have you that team on events and it's some a group of people led by Elena that did a lot of research of finding what venues were Central finding which ones are available finding which ones are even accepting to having a church event there after that you have to think about oh when are we going and what time of year will it be and what do they provide as far as accommodations and hotels around there's so much that goes into pling in these nights what seems like only a few hours has taken over 6 months and if we had it our way even more than 6 months to plan properly to make sure that when every single person steps into that room that they have not only stepped into our dedicated and unwavering yes to the Lord but they've stepped into all of the labor that it took just to get us to that night flat those are the times that you pop back they stand planning of Revelation nights uh over the time over the course of time has uh had its own transitions just in terms of uh the planning and the producing of it the hands in it and everything Revelation kns Dallas was actually planned by mamao and I think that one it definitely was a surprise for us just you know with that being probably the newest thing that we were doing that year um I think for everybody it was exciting um and then over the course of time from Miami um with uh uu and Sach being very instrumental in helping plan that as well um and Houston same very instrumental with those two planning I think over the course of time we've kind of found our rhythm in terms of just like planning and producing and just making sure that all the components came together and with this being probably the largest undertaking it's definitely taken some time in terms of like St starting like we started in April and we're kind of finding ourselves at the finish line of just kind of tying a bow on this thing so it does take quite some time to actually see it from beginning to end even though like you know I'm I'm kind of taking the rein on a lot of the inner workings of it you know it really does take uh each department to pull together and make it make it come off you know successfully when we first started revelation nights there wasn't really a gauge that we had of Finance right very huge upfront expenses and then those last minute expenses that we just simply can't avoid bringing over a hundred people to these places just to run Revelation Church just like you would find it in Los Angeles and see me partners are important I'll start on the financial side Partners help us take the burden off of the operation so that we can keep doing the things here as we should and it helps give us the necessary support to do what we're going to do in these various places though we're a blessed church we want those who want to partner with the specific work you shouldn't have to feel that burden if you don't want to partner with the with a specific work and think that we're asking you to fund that oh we're doing these elaborate things but we need you no no no no there are people that God has not only specially equipped to partner but he has called them to partner Jesus himself had Partners Jesus himself had people that walked with him committed to the work that he was doing to make what he needed to happen happen Prophet ly and I stand not only as leaders in this work but of Partners there is not one thing that this ministry will need if we are still here knowing that that which God has entrusted us with for in responsibility in resource in honor to do his work that we will withhold nothing from making sure that every soul assigned to this ministry will never be able to be
