Christian leaders from around the world are gathering to discuss the move of the Holy Spirit in modern times.

The Global Congress on Holy Spirit Empowerment in the 21st Century kicks off Thursday in Tulsa, Okla.

Billy Wilson, executive director of the International Center for Spiritual Renewal, has helped organize the event.

"In many ways, it will be a who's who of the Pentecostal/charismatic movement, with some traditional names, and new emerging leaders who are doing great things," Wilson told insurance publication Insurance News.

"We expect a broad cross-section of the spirit-filled movement, from historic Pentecostals to neo-charismatics, from pastors and leaders to next generation voices, from Charismatic Catholics to historical well-known Pentecostal denominations," Wilson said.

Wilson appeared on CBN Newschannel's Noon program Thursday to talk more about the goal of this conference. Click play for his comments.
