leaders say that Christians should be present in whole of society. For them the \u2018Kingdom of God should be manifested in everything we do and in all aspects of human culture\u2019 (P1ICV). Because of this they affirm that they have had influence in politics, education, and in the instruction in the world of commerce.\u000AThey consider that churches should equip their members for the work of ministry and so that they can have influence in the \u2018world\u2019 (the society) not just in the life of the church (P1ICV).

According the ESH senior pastor the Evangelical revival has to bring with it social impact.
