Our Assignments

It wasn’t until the fall, that the incorporation of the ministry began, and the first assignment was given. As we gathered the key holders and others back together, vision was shared for how we would move forward. The God given plan was to hold three meetings in governmental cities across Pennsylvania. They were to align with three tribes: JUDAH ‘Judah Rising’ ISSACHAR ‘Awaken Watchmen’ ZEBULON ‘Kings & Priests’. These three anointings, prepare us for the Lord’s visitation. Judah, the lion-like nature of God; Issachar, understanding of times and seasons; Zebulun those who have revelation on how to access their inheritance, which has been stored up throughout the ages.

Judah Rising was our first meeting as a newly formed ministry. We gathered in Pittsburgh and planned it to correspond with the 1^st of Nissan, the month associated with the tribe of Judah. This became a pattern for all the meetings, choosing our timing according to the Hebraic calendar. Next, we held Awaken Watchmen in Harrisburg and our first Kings & Priests in Philadelphia. It was in Philadelphia PA that Chuck Pierce prophesied, “The Apostolic movement has begun.” During our first year of meetings, we had the honor of hosting speakers such as: Tim Sheets, James Nesbit, Chuck Pierce, and Doug Stringer. These powerfully anointed men poured into this new movement to strengthen us for the future.

With dreams, visions, and words of knowledge the Lord quickly confirmed the ‘Eight Capital Cities’ assignment, going to cities where the Continental Congress met when our nation was being formed. Philadelphia PA – Baltimore MD – Lancaster PA – York PA – Princeton NJ – Trenton NJ – Annapolis MD – New York City NY. Sensing the urgency to move forward, we found ourselves in Philadelphia on September 19, 2017, where we were sent out to go to Baltimore MD, September 20-21^st. Later we went back to the Lancaster Convention Center on September 27^th, marking the 240^thAnniversary of when the Continental Congress met in the Lancaster Court House. Each meeting was significant, and the team grew in wisdom and authority. On November 15^th we were in York PA celebrating the 240^th Anniversary of when the Articles of Confederation were approved. Back to Philadelphia in early February 2018, for a power-packed time. Over the first 3 days in March, God began to enlarge our territory, sending us to Princeton NJ, Trenton NJ, and Annapolis MD. The assignment concluded in Brooklyn NY, March 22-24. Amazing how key leaders, first nations, worshipers and powerful intercessors responded. On the final day, teams went into New York City to declare and pray over certain regions. Life changing!

At the end of 2018, after attending a ‘Strike the Match’ meeting in Flint MI, the Lord spoke, “You have been faithful in the ‘Eight Capital Cities’, I will give you 80”. Not completely sure how this would be implemented but trusted the Lord would make it clear. As the KEY Fellowship team met in January of 2019, it was decided the three-foot match that had been created would go to 80 Cities to ‘Ignite the Fire’. The first would be Carlisle PA, at an already planned event ‘Arrows of Glory’. It was during this meeting on March 22^nd that first nations would commission us to Ignite the Fire ‘Awaken a Nation’. What an astounding first year, going to 22 cities. Although many of the cities were in Pennsylvania that first year, we also went to Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan, and Virginia. Let the fire of the Holy Ghost come and awaken the people.

January 9-11, the annual KEY Advance was held in Annapolis, MD. The first two days were filled with times of seeking, ministering, and preparing. On January 11^th we ended with a meeting called the 11^th Hour. As we gathered, we presented a Capital Key, and Ignited the Fire for Annapolis, city 23.  In the first 2 months 5 more cities were ignited. Then came the COVID lockdown. We began to regroup and meet via zoom almost every night from Passover to Pentecost. During these times together, it became clear to us that we were to take the fire across the Pennsylvania Turnpike ‘Days of Fire in PA’. Meeting in Valley Forge at the National Memorial and ending in New Castle, we experienced so many God moments, and released the fire of the Holy Spirit in strategic places.

For over a year prior we had carried a vision to bring leaders from cities we had ignited together in Pittsburgh PA, called CONVERGENCE 2020. Having already contracted the ballrooms at the DoubleTree, but because of the pandemic, we realized we needed to find another option. New doors opened and we moved forward to hold our first CONVERGENCE gathering at Covenant Church of Pittsburgh. We watched God make a way where there seemed to be no way. It was like the Lord blew a fresh wind as we gathered with many of our first nations’ friends and others, August 20-22 in Pittsburgh, PA.

The year began with great uncertainty. Watching the calamity all around us, we decided to do some local things in York, PA. The KEY Fellowship team enjoyed celebrating Purim and then Passover together with local churches. After what we had all gone through, we did not want to assume anything. It was during that time North Carolina’s door opened to us. Plans came together as we co-labored with the North Carolina Prayer Caucus to join them over Pentecost. This time the Lord said, “No longer ignite the fire to awaken a nation, the awakening has come. It is time to ignite the fire to birth the new.” Our first time in North Carolina, the KEY Team went to Wilmington – Raleigh – Zebulon. It was filled with, God encounters, times of worship, and fellowship. Then sensing we were to go back October 7-11, we pressed forward to see how the Lord would lead us. On our first day we visited Old Salem a Moravian settlement, then Greensboro – Asheville – ending in Forest City. During great darkness, God is igniting His Fire. As 2021 ends, we are once again seeking what is next and what door will be opened. The KEY team has gone to 36 cities, and we are believing for 44 more.
