Herbert is rolling over in his grave right now. Little would he have
ever dreamed that a charismatic personality cult would have bought the
Ambassador Auditorium where people would be barking like dogs, pogoing and
rolling around on the floor in fits of ecstasy. I remember the fits of
rage HWA went into when he found a crucifix on stage for an opera production.
All hell broke loose. Imagine what he would think to find out a School
for the Supernatural will be opened in the Hall of Administration! Oy!
Harvest Rock Church, who bought the Auditorium, has declared that they will
be purchasing the Hall of Administration for their use. The Hall of Ad
had been bought by a senior retirement community developer several years
ago. Pre-sales of the million dollar retirement condos were swift.
Then the economy tanked. The company backed out and Maranatha Schools leased
the building out for film shoots and other rentals.

A kairos moment is again laid before us!
We have an opportunity to buy the administrative
building next to HRock in Pasadena for only cents on the dollar.
For years, respected prophetic
leaders have prophesied to us about an expansion of HRock Church and
Harvest International Ministry on this campus, and the increased impact
it would have for ministry here and abroad.
This seemed beyond our reach until I received the recent news of an unprecedented price drop for this facility.
As you may know, this site served
as the former world headquarters for the Worldwide Church of God. They
have been guarded in who is allowed to purchase property, and what was
available for sale. God gave us favor when we miraculously obtained the
remarkable auditorium where we meet for conferences and as a church.
However, since we gained that
facility in 2004, our tiny staff offices have remained on the other
side of our city in an old building. We haven’t had the space for vital
things we need, like a permanent 24/7 house of prayer, healing rooms,
staff offices and of course, a home for HIM.
Our vision for the building is to establish a top-notch
Christian preschool, elementary and junior high school, our
international seminary, Wagner Leadership Institute, Arts and
Entertainment Academy, and the new School of the Supernatural we are
slated to begin in the Fall. The building is perfect for a food bank to
feed the poor in our city. We also need Sunday school classrooms,
ministry classrooms, meeting rooms, organizational facilities and
offices for staff.
I believe this is the
next step in your and my part to establish the Kingdom through the
ministries of HRock and HIM. God reminded me of an unusual strategy to
purchase this building: I am asking 9000 people to give $1,000 each so
we can buy it outright. That would total $9 million dollars.
These are the same folks that poured salt in the auditorium lake
to expel the demons of Armstrongism. These are the same people who walked
around the Auditorium and the campus pouring holy oil on the sidewalks, benches, bridges, porches,
etc. to drive away the satanic forces of the Worldwide Church of God. Plants, trees, flowers and grass were prayed over to get rid of any demons that might be living in them.
Walking around that property now is a really creepy experience.
