A recent Cadillac commercial that has been airing in the United States has this voice over:

When the seasons shift, change is on the way. With change comes opportunity…it’s up to you to seize it.

Transition is never easy, but it is always necessary. When our season of transition comes, it’s up to us to seize the opportunities it provides. I preach often from 1 Chronicles 12:32 “and the men of Issachar were men who had understanding of the times and knew what Israel aught to do.” My desire in life is to be able to understand the times & seasons of God, know what I aught to do then help others step into their next season as well.

With that in mind, in October we filed the necessary paperwork with the State of Alabama and the Internal Revenue Service to officially change the name of the ministry to Revival Now International. While the name change is not very different, it better describes what God has called Pam and I to do; making a short-term impact with long lasting Kingdom results in the nations of the world.

This year we have been honored to take four different trips to Kenya and one trip into northern Tanzania. In April we sponsored the Kilgoris Women’s Conference, took part in a conference & crusade in Lodwar Kenya as well as take food into two different villages in Northern Kenya in August. We have also been blessed to be able to continue to lead the Revival Now School of Ministry in Kilgoris.

Pam and I are very thankful to all the partners, churches and prayer support that so many has given us over the last 14+ years of traveling ministry. In studying for a message recently, it dawned on me that when we began traveling ministry in 2001, my vision was limited to traveling across the SE United States. I thought if we could cover just a few southern states that would really keep us busy.

I am living proof when God’s timing kisses your promise, the manifestation is ALWAYS greater than you envisioned. God has not only allowed us to crisscross the SE United States, He has opened doors for RNI across Africa, the Caribbean, Central America and SE Asia. Thank God His vision for our lives is always greater than ours.

In 2016, we will be leading five separate trips to Kenya. We will be continuing our School of Ministry in Kilgoris in April, August & December; we will be leading a separate conference and revival in the cities of Malava, Lodwar and again in Kilgoris. We will also be leading a trip specifically to work with the Nyaisero Orphanage in June 2016. If you are interested in accompanying us on any of our 2016 Africa outreaches, please contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

The expenses for each of these events range between $15-20,000 per trip. As a transdenominational outreach ministry, there is not one single denomination that sponsors the work we do. We not only have to raise money to pay the expenses for the meetings in Africa, we also have to believe God for the funds to pay our personal bills while we are away.

Your giving to Revival Now International is touching the lives of many rural leaders across many different nations of the world. This is the time of year in which many individuals and churches make plans to sow special gifts to ministries as the current calendar year comes to a close. Would you consider helping Revival Now continue our outreaches to the nations?

Every life on earth matters to God, and every gift counts in the eyes of God.

Thank you for believing in us and supporting our stream of the Great Commission.

Happy Thanksgiving
