JUNE JOURNAL 2004

Dear Friends and Partners,

We greet you in the wonderful name of Jesus. We trust that you are all well and blessed and walking in the divine favor of God.

We have just returned from our second trip to Finland in five weeks. We regularly receive invitations to many cities, in many countries around the world, but we always wait for the Holy Spirit to prompt us as far as the timing goes, because timing is as important as direction. Why are we telling you this? Because we feel the wind of God blowing through the nation of Finland and we feel that we must strike while the iron is hot! God is doing something special in Finland and we are excited to share it with you.

When we were in Helsinki for a week in April, the Lord spoke to us about coming back three weeks later—this time to five different cities in five days. In May, we traveled on a double-decker bus to Turku, Seinהjoki, Tampere, Joensuu, and Kerava, with about 45 people. These were mostly young people in their teens and twenties—a number of them were River Bible Institute graduates. They are wonderful young people, who love the Lord and who are on fire for God. They all worked hard and gave their all—always with a great attitude. We see the hand of God on them and we believe that they will change their nation! Needless to say, they were nothing but a blessing to us, and the Finnish pastors, and we are very proud of them!

This trip was absolutely fantastic, considering that we only had three weeks to pull the whole thing together. We had packed out venues in every city and 882 people answered the altar call over the five days. We prayed for everyone every night and people were wonderfully touched and changed. We had such a great time that we are going to go back for five days in September to do it again—this time in Turku and four new cities. In June, next year, we plan to do a week-long meeting—probably in Tampere.

Thank you for praying for us, as we go to the nations, and thank you for your generous monthly support, which enables us to see such a wonderful harvest of souls around the world. You are laying up much treasure in heaven. God bless you—we love and appreciate you.

Yours for Revival and the Harvest,

Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne
