The "Invitation" is the night of the first Sunday after New Year's. I know not much has been said about this in church so far, so I want to explain it a little from my own perspective. For many years (decades?) I have heard people talk about revival, and God's plan for California, or the Bay Area, and I know that many people have been praying for revival for a long time. At the same time, John Isaacs and a few other pastors in the Bay Area have been working together for several years to promote unity among the churches of the South Bay. This lead to the "Transformation Alliance of Santa Clara County" (TASCC), which is made up of pastors and intercessors from quite a number and variety of South Bay churches seeking to work together to bless (and transform!) our communities.
