Sunday was a key example of what can happen when the body of Christ unites. I was so amazed at what took place. I have only been coming to the river for 3 months. I have never seen a church body come together with one focus, like I did Sunday. I was so impressed when I saw Christians being sold out and ‘’being the church instead of doing church’’. What happened is what should be happening in every church, every Sunday around the world. People taking the gospel into the world, being a witness not just doing witnessing. Being in the world and not of it, not being of the world but not in it. I was in the main service, so I got to see the hundreds of people taking a stand and accepting Jesus. The moms the dads, uncles, aunts, grandmas, grandpas, husbands, wife’s taking a stand for their families. After service seeing the joy on the all the kids faces. Sing and talking about this man JESUS. Then I looked up and saw the buses and the food and toy give away. The workers joking and talking with parents, the children playing and riding new bikes. If we just change are focus and put it on Jesus, everything will change. If we just let the love of God flow through us, Gods goodness will draw in the lost like a vacuum or a really big bug zapper. I am so thankful to be a part of what God is doing here at The River at Tampa Bay. Not only being a student at RBI, but getting to see the impact of a church that is being the church. And I love God’s church when we are the church. I’m excited to see what God is going to do next.

Last Sunday was great at the River Church at Tampa Bay! The children’s ministry had about 70 children who were 3 to 4 years old. All of them received Jesus as their Savior and were delighted to receive Him as Lord. After the children had accepted Jesus their countenance changed and their behavior changed. There were so many happy faces all over the room. I could feel the positive energy and excitement exuding from the children. Peacefulness was in the room as well. Some of the children, who missed their moms when they first came into the room, stopped crying, and enjoyed the activities along with the rest of their newly found friends.

It really gave me joy to see the children enjoying themselves. They eagerly learned many lessons about Jesus. There were several games and activities for them to participate in. They seemed to enjoy the games and lessons, which involved singing and dancing the most. The joy of the Lord was evident in the laughter displayed as the children’s teachers talked about the Lord and various stories in the bible.

I loved to see the children worship Jesus. They did not hold anything back from the Lord when they praised Him. I could see that the children genuinely felt the love of Jesus the entire time they were in the room. When you see the love of God on children’s faces, you know Jesus is someone worth knowing.

There are many things that I could say about what happened last Sunday, but the most important was that the children received Jesus and grew in their relationship with the Lord. The presence of the Holy Spirit was felt when the children worshipped the Lord. There are no words to express how much the love of Jesus touched their hearts.

I am grateful to God for joining me to the River Church Ministry. In the deepest part of my soul I have yearned for God to use me to be a witness for Him. My desire has always been to go deeper in the things of God. My life’s goal was to be used by God in the fullest and to touch the lives of people with the love of God. I longed to be used as a mouthpiece to do and to say the things He wanted me to say and to be bold while doing it. I had been looking for a church like the River since I was 21 and now that I am here I truly believe that God has fulfilled one of the deepest desires of my heart. Everything I wanted in a church home the River provided. Since being here I am in awe at how God answered my prayer in detail. Since coming to the River I have been eternally changed from the inside out and I have been used mightily to touch the lives of many people. I am grateful to God for allowing me to be apart of such a Holy Spirit filled church. I believe the vision of Pastor Rodney and Adonica to see souls saved is evident in our church and the vision has passed down to the congregation and has now become the heartbeat of my life. Because of this ministry I now feel revived, alive and energized to fulfill the call of God on my life. As a result, of Pastor Rodney & Adonica and the River church family I now have a passion for lost and a greater hunger for the things of God. I know that since coming here my hunger and thirst for God has heightened and my craving for souls and the things of God will last a lifetime.

Winter Campmeeting 2010 impacted my life in a great way. In fact, it is still impacting my life. Pastor Rodney spoke an encouraging word about being hungry and thirsty and pressing in to the things of God. Since then I have been growing up spiritually. I am learning to mature in the things of God. I have been pressing in more in getting into the Word and in prayer. I have also been making time to pray with my husband and we have also been praying together with our roommate. We have all been encouraging each other to stay motivated and to keep pressing in. We have even been media fasting which started during the campmeeting. In doing this we have made much more time for God. I don’t want what I got from campmeeting to just fade away in my memory. I want to keep that fire burning! And that is what praying and feeding my spirit with the Word have done for me. They add fuel to my spiritual fire. They cause me to get hungrier and thirstier for the things of God. Also during campmeeting I was touched by God in a special way. It was different than when I have felt God’s presence in the past when I would cry. This time the joy came with it! I have been longing for the joy. I was just never able to receive it because I was constantly trying to work it out with my head, but during campmeeting it just bubbled out of my belly. Now I know what Pastor Rodney is talking about when he says to just let it bubble up. The amazing thing is that it has been bubbling up ever since then as I build myself up in the word and prayer and as I pour out to others. It is so awesome how God can touch you in so many different ways! He is so good!

I just want to say that I am so blessed to be a part of Revival Ministries. This ministry has eternally impacted my life! I have learned the Word as I never heard it before and if it were not for Pastors Rodney and Adonica and their faithfulness I may have never known or experienced God the way I do now.

I unfortunately missed every single camp meeting worship time due to work. I didn’t arrive until after 8:00 pm which may have hindered me to receive more. I did attend when a man tried to come to the front when man of God was speaking about healing. I guess he was against it. I saw the ushers redirect him for some time and take him outside and didn’t understand. It was the first time I’ve seen something like that in a church setting. I love how in these meetings there’s no pressure to hurry or get done at a certain time and people (most people) are willing to stay to late hours of the night. I helped out in food ministry and it was good to greet and serve those ones that I did. I enjoyed hearing the testimonies of provision this week from people around the world. I also noticed that people under this ministry that was here seemed to really genuinely love people. That’s great.

Every night I came, we were encouraged to press into the things of God and receive all that heaven has. I love that because that’s what I desire just all God has for me and so thankful that He will never withhold a good thing from me. I was reminded how we need to be on the offensive and pursue God with deep hunger. Deep calls unto deep. I know God loves all of us the same but its like something happens when people get desperate and spiritual violence and zeal for His house. I must test myself and see how desperate I am continually. I was praying that God would take me to an even deeper place even if I was the only one there. I just must go higher. These were the ponderings of my heart during the conference. I was also thinking man what did these ministers have to do to get to where they are. I also knew that every gift God gives is a gift and it’s not in striving but receiving because so many times I can get back into a striving mentality rather than out of devotion for God. Other than that, it was so strong on my heart to start a prayer list in my personal time because sometimes I know some scriptures and just know if I have a list it would help to pursue God in a focused way. These are some of the ponderings of the heart during the meeting.

Although I have been a Christian for about 25 years and a minister of the gospel since 2001, I had only led 5-6 people to the Lord in my whole life. My husband and I recieved the joy in 1993, and stayed in the River for many years afterward, ministering to the saints. But in 2006-2007 we went though a series of severe hardships and attacks. I had all about lost my joy, walked away from the ministry and was very depressed. We started watching Rodney on God TV and the hungry for the fire of God, and for souls started to stir our hearts again. We came very hungry to the Ball Ground meeting. On Thursday, we both rededicated our lives to Jesus. A wave of liquid fire went through us, and swept us to the ground. I was totally drunk! it was glorious! The next day, I went out with the group to a nursing home and led 11 people to Christ (17 all total with my partner) That was more in 2 hours than in the whole rest of my life!!! We are hungry for souls, for the REVIVAL. We are going to train others at our church to use the Gospel Script. THANK YOU Rodney and Adonica for being so very obedient to the Lord!

Saw pastor Rodney on TBN and received the joy that everyone else got. Yahu.That joy got me through the accidental death of our 4th boy with relatively unscathed. but that’s another story. Planned to visit someday. Because Canada was not letting Christian TV on the air we obtained SkyAngel via satellite and there you were. So we were following the revival broadcasts and when my sister and I planned a trip to Orlando you were in Sanford the week after . Unfortunately she could not stay longer and I didn’t know who could stay with me and my husband did not want me to stay alone in a hotel so I came back to Canada but… I knew that I could do this here. My friend and I had gone to the mall and used your script and 5 people were saved and the other 4 were Christians. Wow . When I was at church last wed a young Paster who has a native outreach one and 1/2hrs north of here , asked me to do an evangelism outreach and teach his new believers to witness!!! your way. That was a fast answer to prayer. There are also several women in our church who want to go to the mall and learn how to witness as well . Thank you so much for helping the body of Christ. This could be the start of Revival .ca (Canada) We’ll stay on tract! God Bless You

Testimony #1 This testimony occured during a nursing home visit on the Sanford Crusade. I walked into a nursing home and heard a woman screaming in gut wrenching agony as if she was being tortured. I layed hands on her and prayed for salvation and deliverance. As soon as I layed hands on her she stopped screaming; peace came upon her and she nodded her head as I prayed for deliverance and salvation. It was an awesome privilege to watch God deliver her and set her free. Testimony #2 During the past few months God has opened doors for us to minister in the hospitals. I have asked God to open doors for us to reach law enforcement with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our hospital teams have been blessed to pray with over 100 correctional guards/police officers and their prisoners. While it is wonderful to share the gospel with everyone on the highways and by-ways, this has really blessed me. It touched my heart to watch men and women of law enforcement and the prisoners they had handcuffed to the hospital beds both simultaneous bow their heads and receive Jesus into their hearts. God is sure wonderful!

To the Revival Ministry Prayer Warriors: This is a praise report. My sister Kathleen was admitted to the hospital on February 7th, her 39th birthday. She had brain aneurysm. The doctors had to wait at least a day before doing the surgery to see if she is stable enough and her blood pressure is normalized to be able to handle the surgery. First of all the doctors were saying negative reports about her. Such things as: that she will not survive the surgery; if she did, she would be a vegetable; would have severe brain damage; she could have a stroke afterwards; and would have to undergo rehabilitation for a long period of time and will not be going anywhere. My brother was with her at the hospital. After hearing those negative reports he replied, ‘she is going somewhere, she is getting out sooner with no need for rehabilitation, and God is going to heal her’. According to the attending physician, Kathy would need God’s intervention now. My brother had his cellular telephone. He called my mom and placed the telephone in Kathleen’s ears. Kathy was not awake or even aware of what was happening or where she was. My mom and I prayed for her over the phone. As soon as we finished praying, we contacted the ministry to be in agreement and for prayer for complete healing. After the surgery, the surgeons said it was a success. As soon as she was awake, she began to talk. The doctors were amazed and have not seen that yet. She was hooked up to many apparatuses with tubes and/or monitoring devices. She was bandaged up and was swollen. No one wanted to tell her what was going on or let her son visit her. Her friends and our other sister kept telling her to be calm because they did not want her to get worse. They kept telling her she was in bad shape. After five days, she insisted she wanted to go home. She got angry and ripped out all the bandages, tubes, and whatever else was attached to her. They sent for a Psychiatrist because they thought she was losing her mind and gave her drugs. The next weekend I went to see her and tried to explain to her the different pieces of equipment that was connected to her. I tried to get information from the nurses about the surgical procedure but only got a little information. I prayed for her and her son’s uncle stood with me in agreement. I gave her a healing CD speaking God’s Word. In the next couple of days, my brother helped her to stand up for the first time. She felt great and went to take a shower. The surgeons and the doctors did not know what to do. They were amazed. Twenty days later on February 27th she signed herself out to be released from the hospital. She walked out by herself. Two days later, she went to see her family doctor. When she saw him for the first time, he was speechless. He could not say anything for fifteen minutes. All he could do was shake his head. He then requested several tests to be done on her brain. Every one of the tests came back positive (a good report). I thank God for your ministry and for your prayers. Thank you Jesus for the Revival Minstry Prayer Warriors. I am confident the Holy Spirit would do a mighty work on the negative mindset of Kathy’s friends and our sister who are around her in order to take joy in her healing instead of speaking negative around her. But at least they are convinced that Jesus is a true healer.
