God Encounter is a ministry led by Eric and Joanie Jarrett. They release God’s Presence in a sincere, yet non-threatening way. This has allowed many people to recognize God’s existence and for some to experience his supernatural power. This approach has been effective in post-christian Scotland. Despite the existence of many grand church buildings, most people do not attend services or even believe there is a God.
