Dear Friends & Partners,We love and appreciate you very much. Thank you so much for partnering with us for revival and the harvest with your generous financial support. As you sow into the Kingdom of God you are laying up precious and incorruptible treasure in heaven.
This last month we were in Porterville, California (north of Bakersfield), and Boston, Massachusetts. In Boston, we were at a large Brazilian church and the meetings were totally explosive. We are planning to visit Brazil itself sometime this year.
We encourage you to join us for “Calling All Evangelists” May 9-13, 2005. We particularly encourage those in full-time ministry and those who feel called to full-time ministry to make the effort to come to Tampa in person, rather than just watching on the Web, because you need the Lord to touch you in a special way.
Ministry is a great privilege and a great responsibility. If you are called of God to ministry, it is the easiest and the hardest thing you will ever do. It is the easiest thing, because when you are in the will of God, you have great favor, and the hardest, because you have to fight your own flesh, other people, and the devil, to stay in the will of God. If you want to prosper in ministry, you cannot afford to please your flesh or accommodate people. You must please God and never be ashamed of the Holy Spirit or grieve Him.
You need to be encouraged, built up, and inspired, together with like-minded people, who are hungry for God and who love the move of the Spirit. If you definitely can’t join us in person, do watch us online and then e-mail us and tell us you are watching. We would love to hear from you.
Psalms 5:11-12 AMP says, “But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits. For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor).” May the Lord continue to bless you with protection, peace, joy, prosperity, and favor as you trust and obey Him in all things. We thank God for you always.
Yours for Revival and the Harvest,
Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne
P.S. Don’t forget to pray for Good News Umlazi in May! We need $500,000 for this outreach, over and above our regular operating budget, and every thing we do has to be paid upfront. Please pray about sending a special offering this month toward this outreach!
