Encounter Nation Encounter Church focuses on administering grace and platforming purpose. Definitely, not church as usual!

Joshua Jagessar aka PJ, Founder and Pastor of Encounter Church in North Carolina and Life Church Encounter in NYC; dedicated his life to sharing the grace of God through preaching and the worship experience. This all started in 2007 when pastor Josh was diagnosed of lymphoma hodgkins and God miraculously healed him. From a fallen business, battling cancer and going through divorce; he preaches the Grace of God with no limit. His vision is to reach a sea of souls by the Word of God and the Worship Experience. Pastor Josh believes the church is not a platform for judgement but rather an outlet of grace.
'If you want to meet with God, with God you will meet." - Pastor Josh (PJ)

Praying for this weekend’s gathering at ENCOUNTER, that every person would take their walk with Jesus seriously. We are standing at the brink of a global shift and in the midst of what could be the greatest revival of our time.

ENCOUNTER, LET’S LEAD THE WAY!

Let’s pray with urgency, pursue Jesus wholeheartedly, live in holiness, and prepare our hearts for what God is about to do. No more playing church. It’s time to get serious about the Kingdom.

Revival is now. The time is now.

You can’t claim the name of Christ while refusing to live like Him. 🗣️ Every word matters. Are we representing Jesus, or just looking for the benefits of His name?

Being a Christian is more than carrying His name. It’s about living like Christ, even toward those who do us wrong. 🙏

Let’s PRAY, PREACH, and PURSUE JESUS with a sense of urgency!

A greater revival is being birthed, and we cannot afford to be distracted, complacent, or lukewarm. There’s no time to play! It’s time to get serious about the Kingdom, deepen our devotion, and position ourselves for what God is about to do.

REVIVAL IS NOW. The time is NOW!
