FEBRUARY JOURNAL
NewsletterPublish date: 02/25/2005
Dear Friends and Partners,We greet you in the wonderful Name of Jesus.
In January we celebrated 25 years in the ministry, at our Winter Campmeeting 2005, and we wanted to share some of that special week with you in this newsletter. We have letters from a few of our dear friends in ministry and you can also go to www.revival.com to watch some of the congratulatory video clips we received.
Our theme was “Revival” and over the course of eight days I preached some of my favorite revival messages from over the last 17 years. We have this commission from the Lord, to stir up the church so that they may be filled with the fire of God, both to purify their own hearts and to ignite a passion in them to reach the lost. Souls are God’s heartbeat! Aren’t you glad you are saved? Aren’t you glad someone had a passion to bring you the gospel and see you receive Jesus? If you and I don’t do it, it won’t be done!
Even though we have been in ministry for 25 years, we feel like we are just now getting started. We feel like we are only ready now for some of the things that the Lord has for us, and we are glad to be at this place. We never want to take the Lord for granted. We always want to enjoy His presence and rejoice daily in seeing people saved, set free, and filled with the power and the fire of the Holy Spirit.
This is a new day for Revival Ministries International and we already have some exciting things planned for this year! We are going back to South Africa in May for a Good News outreach in the Durban area. The city of Durban is in the province of Kwazulu, on the Indian Ocean. The Durban area is populated with white South Africans, Africans who come mainly from the Zulu tribe, and Indians, most of whom are Hindu or Moslem. The Moslems, in particular, are aggressively recruiting new converts in South Africa. It is crucial that the gospel is boldly preached in Durban. The name “Zulu” means Heaven. Please pray for us and our crusade team as we put Good News Kwazulu together and bring heaven to Kwazulu and South Africa.
Thank you as always for your prayers and generous financial support. You keep us going to the world! Please pray about doing something special for Good News Kwazulu this month—we would greatly appreciate it. Also, please write to us or e-mail us with your testimonies. Please let us know how our ministry has touched and impacted your life. We would love to hear from you, it really is an encouragement to us. May God bless you richly and in all things!
Yours for Revival and the Harvest,
Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne
