Pastor Mike Signorelli of V1 Church had a prophetic dream that he is seeing come to pass.
“I was walking the streets of Roosevelt Island between Brooklyn and Manhattan and this young man in a seventies era suit, he approached me and said, ‘Hey Mike, it’s me, don’t you remember me?'” Signorelli recounted about the dream.
The man in the dream then revealed himself to Signorelli as Tim Keller. This left Signorelli in disbelief because in real life Tim Keller acted as his mentor when he was part of a program for young church planters.
In this dream, Keller pointed out the financial district of Manhattan to Signorelli and told him that if he went to this area of New York and answered the people’s questions they in return would answer his prayers.
Fast-forward a bit, and Signorelli found himself talking with the elders of V1 Church about the current state of the body of Christ on a global scale. Signorelli has seen the division happening in the church right now, which has left him feeling the necessity to reach for even more lost souls and bring them to Christ.
Trying to figure out a way to get more people in the doors of the church at a time of year when people are settling back into their way of life with work and school, Signorelli knew V1 would have to expand beyond the typical Sunday morning services.
“I said, ‘We have to open up evening services,'” Signorelli said.

Without mentioning his dream about Tim Keller, Signorelli asked if a shared location in Manhattan was possible for the evening service instead of having separate services in New Jersey, Brooklyn and Long Island.
With this idea in motion, someone recommended Signorelli reach out to the pastor of Liberty Church. During his call with this pastor, Signorelli was pleasantly surprised and saw how God really does make dreams come true.
“I said, ‘Hey, do you have venue space for an evening service in Manhattan?'” he asked the pastor. “He said, ‘Absolutely. We have a fixed installation with all the equipment, all the chairs, it’s ready to go, and we are just waiting for a church, and we’ve been looking for a church to do evening services.'”
Signorelli was thrilled to hear about this good news, and knew that God’s hand was on this plan when he heard about the building’s location.
“He said, ‘It’s located in the financial district.’ And as you can imagine, the fear of God gripped my heart when I realized that the dream I had many months ago was divinely and sovereignly being fulfilled,” he continued.

The evening services hosted by V1 Church will begin the second Sunday of September. Along with V1 Manhattan, V1 Miami is slated to open a second location to host evening services, and V1 Indiana is opening as well.
“I believe that across all of our revival homes and all of our regions that we will lead 1,000 people to Christ,” Signorelli said.
Signorelli is also requesting that believers pray for necessary finances and plans to go through to take this initiative forward so more people can hear the gospel.
During this day and age where we see so pews emptying out and church doors shutting, it’s encouraging to know that there are churches and ministers out there who are seeking the Lord with their whole hearts to bring revival and the true mission of the gospel to a broke and hopeless world.
