of the Argentine. Juan Carlos Ortiz came up to Vancouver BC in the
early 70's - and challenged us with this Move of God. There some 30
leaders of Anglican and Brethren churches met together up to twice a
week. Pastor Ortiz was an Assembly of God pastor, and one of these
30. They had a covenant agreement with one another on a city basis,
and served as it were as an Eldership in the Gate of the City. It was
so unusual how God blessed this unified group, that the 800 pastors
of the 800 churches in the city would say - “If these 30 decide to
follow God in some direction - we might as well join them - for it
will surely come to pass!”</span></span></font></p>
