About the Council

Capital Region Apostolic Council has been convened for the purpose of discerning prophetic words that are spoken throughout the region… and to be diligently seeking the Lord regarding His plans and purposes for the Capital Region of New York... to be watchmen and intercessors, helping to equip the saints. 

 

Please share with us any of the prophetic words that you or your church members may receive pertaining to the Capital Region and the larger body of Christ. Consider the enormous value of being able to collect words from around the region… and then realize that a Word given to those in Troy was precisely what was said to a church in Amsterdam and Albany and Schenectady and Cohoes! This Word could be heralded to our region with absolute certainty, “Hear what the Lord is saying to the Church of the Capital Region!”… be it direction, correction or encouragement. We would then submit these prophecies to the larger prayer networks for assistance in praying them through to fruition. This is a very worthwhile endeavor!

 

We are certain the Lord is speaking to His people in this hour, but this type of corporate discernment can only work if you will participate. In saying these things, we do not consider ourselves to be anything more than mere servants. We want to make it clear that there are other apostolic ministries and councils in the area and we do not consider ourselves exclusive. We gratefully acknowledge their faithful service to the people of our region. Nevertheless, God has given us an assignment and we want to obey Him.We desire to hear and make known what God is saying to the Church of the Capital Region. Please take the time to share with us your prophecies, dreams and visions that are meant for the larger body of Christ in this region.
