On Thursday December 12th at 1:15 p.m. after school for soul winning, a group of about six of us got our assignment to go to Plant City and hand out flyers at the trailer parks. It was a rainy day and we got to our first trailer park where we started to go door to door placing flyers on the doors of the trailers and stopping cars that drove by. We handed out a big stack of the flyers and there were two little girls walking by coming from school, so I gave them a flyer and told them to come to church. Then I ask them to say the prayer with me and they were saying the prayer from dear Lord Jesus to I have Jesus in my heart Amen. It was a pretty awesome feeling to see and hear them say the prayer (Thank you Jesus) .The group reformed together and drove to the next place where we started knocking on doors and putting flyers on the doors. There were a couple of people that receive the Lord and I felt in my heart to pray for these people. There was one man when I ask him if I could pray for him, he agreed. As soon I laid my hand on him, he started to shake and the more I prayed the more the man continued shaking. This lasted a little while before he started to claim down and stop shaking. Then when I finish the prayers and I gave him a hug, I invited him to church and gave him a flyer. Just as I was handing him the flyer, a woman walked by and again I felt in my heart to pray for her so I followed her to her door and ask her has anybody ever told you that God loves you and she  said yes, so I ask her if I could pray for her and she agree once more. I prayed with her and she was very happy afterwards, so I gave her a hug and the rain began to come down strong and it was time to return.

A little over a year ago, I was hit from behind in my car. Since that time I have experienced headaches that I thought were sinus infections, and turned out to be not. I had sinus CTs done and showed nothing. I saw an ENT specialist and he asked me if I had had a blow to the back of the head. And then I realized that all of these symptoms started after the accident. This would be diagnosed as Post Concussion Disorder/Syndrome, and could last a long time. However, by Jesus stripes I am healed. Even though the headaches had become infrequent, I had noticed that sometimes when I would look at something, or would see the object in my head…I would keep coming up with other words for the object. About 24 hours before Pastor Rodney had spoken about people needing their brains healed, the Holy Spirit helped me recognize that there definitely was still something wrong and I clearly asked Him to heal my brain in Jesus name.

I just want you to know, that the Power of God came down on me hear in my living room when Pastor Rodney spoke this and I am healed. I wanted to tell you immediately that evening, but your website went down and I couldn’t get back in until the service was almost over. But better late than never. So, praise the Lord. I love you all so much and you bring me such joy. I do have one question that I hope can be answered quickly. Will you at all be having any Great Awakening meetings closer than Dix Hills, New York? Say closer to NH? This is so important to me. Thank you and be blessed in Jesus name. In Him, Donna R

My first time–I loved talking with people about the Lord I found most everyone that I talked with believed in the Lord Only one man, a senior, got up and walked away

This truly was the day that the Lord had made. From the early morning high level of expectancy was vibrating in the air as well as in the hearts of the whole congregation. This really was fulfilling of statement „ No man left behind „ Everybody in the church did the part to get the whole work done. That was like a total mobilization in the local branch of Gods army! And most important that anyone got mobilized absolutely voluntarily-no one was forced to fight on Jesus side…this was the day of fighting against opression and depression.

Though the outcame of this battle was foreknown -it`s a great pleasure to recall things that happened on this Sunday. First of all hunderads of people got saved , delivered from Satans domain and brought into the Kingdom of God. Holy transition directed by the Lord Jesus himself and accomplished through His body – The church ! What an awsome privilege and great experience it is to be in His will, respond to His call and be a part of what He is doing. What a sight it is to see little children along with their parents happily coming for toys and impatiently unripping them. Smiles, joy , laughter heard everyvhere …almost heavenly atmosphere. No fear, no depression- really a piece of heaven brought down to the earth in just an ordinary day…Somebody may say: „Wait ! you`re wrong ! It`s not just an ordinary day –it`s a Sunday in the church ! „

It is an ordinary day in a sense that anybody has ability to create such a day full of joy , happiness and presence of The Lord . All we need is to strech out our hands and our hearts to the others and Jesus himself will bless our touch and make any day like a gift that is more wonderful than we even could imagine.

–Alaska— 2 guys got saved–one started crying

Imagine going to bed hungry or even as a child waking up with nothing under you Christmas tree. Even better yet imagine a world where you feel completely unloved. This is what Dr. Rodney Howard-Brown of the River Tampa church in Tampa Fl is working against. I am not only proud to be a part of this group under Dr. Rodney but I am honored to see how many lives’s we are truly changing.

At the River Church Dr. Rodney has set up an amazing food ministry were they feed over 500 families a week with a box of food that will last them through the week. This part of the ministry is my favorite; we see people’s lives changing every day when we go out telling them about the food ministry. To see mothers eyes go from sad to happy when she realizes that she will have food for her children that week.

This past week we handed out toys to needy families and in the process of doing that we had 374 people turn their lives over to God. I unfortunately did not get to be a part of this even. However I wish I was there the testimonies of my friend about the event touched my heart so much hearing how people were crying and thanking them or how kids who just need someone to show them love got just that.

You see for me what this church is doing to reach out to families in the city of Tampa is amazing to see. How many people can say that they truly have impacted the lives of people around not only by giving those gifts but by loving them and showing them how much Jesus Christ loves them? How many people can say that they have made an impact on the people around them and know that beyond a shadow of a doubt that those people will forever be changed? This is what Dr. Rodney Howard- Brown is doing in Tampa Fl he is making a change in the lives of people in the community and the city but not just any change he is making the greatest change of all he is showing the people that he truly cares about them.
