Dear Friends and Partners,We greet you in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We have had an interesting time this last month. We held meetings in Clearwater, Florida, Ramona, Oklahoma, north of Tulsa, and at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. In both Clearwater and Ramona we had such great meetings that we decided to come back for another week and we did, as our schedule allowed, a week or two later in each place.
In Clearwater, we were in the Royalty Theatre, a historic theater, built in 1896, which has hosted the likes of Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Presley, Liza Minnelli and many others. The present owner is a Christian and now, instead of worldly entertainers, the Royalty is hosting the King of kings and Lord of lords! Each day, before the meeting in Clearwater, our bible students went onto the streets around the theater, leading people to the Lord. There is a big scientology center just a couple of blocks away and our students led several scientologists to the Lord! Hallelujah! The meetings in the Royalty were explosive–people were phenomenally touched, changed and delivered!
Happy Hill Church in Ramona looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but cow pastures, but it was packed every night. Every night, people were lined up outside waiting for the doors to open and we had chairs everywhere that we could fit them. We had chairs on the platform, on the sides of the altar area, and going out the back doors into the foyer. People were so hungry for the move of God! We had hundreds of teenagers and kids, who were powerfully impacted by the Spirit of God!
Richard and Lindsay Roberts have a daily program called “Hour of Healing,” and we had the opportunity to record two of these shows with them and also speak in the university chapel service on Wednesday at 11 am. The chapel service is usually only an hour long, but President Roberts cancelled all classes until 5:30 pm so that we could preach and minister as the Spirit led and then lay hands on the students. We did not preach very long, but we ended up ministering to the students until after 4 pm! The altar call was huge and we had hundreds of students totally drunk under the anointing, some for the remainder of the day! They held out cell phones and we prayed for their families many miles away, all over the USA, and even in London, England! Near the end, we were praying for many people with wet clothes and found out that the service was aired live across Tulsa and, as a result, many viewers came to the chapel, through the rain, to be prayed for!
Partners, thank you for your help! Thank you for empowering us to travel to minister life to hungry, thirsty, empty hearts all over the world. We love you very much. May prosperity and welfare, wealth and riches, be in your house and may your righteousness endure forever (Psalms 112:3)!
Yours for Revival and the Harvest,
Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne
P.S. Please don’t forget about Good News Umlazi coming up this month. Great things are happening already and we need you to stand with us for the harvest! Also–we encourage you to come down to Tampa for Summer Campmeeting.
