On Sunday, December 13, our church, the River of Tampa Bay, my wife and I helped out with a large outreach to the local communities of Tampa Bay. One of the tools our church uses to bring in the lost is our bus ministry. My wife and I have personally been soul witnessing on one particular route, route 3, almost every Saturday. The bus we were on serviced this route. As we were driving from the church to the bus route 3 area to drop off the local residents, I struck up a conversation with an older man. He had an interesting story as he told me about his family and the Pentecostal church they owned back in Tennessee and how he had gotten away from the Lord for many years while he worked for the circus hustling people. He said that he gave his life to the Lord in 2006 and gave all indications that he was saved. I began to share my testimony with him, about how God had brought me from a long way. I spoke of the goodness of God. I spoke of winning souls in his area. As we passed, certain areas I told him about the different people I had meet and seen saved. Street after street. Block after block. I noticed that he had a Spanish soul winning script and asked if he had an English one. He did and I asked him if someone had prayed with him using the script. He said no, so I thought I would do some training with him so that he might possible use the script himself. I went through the script and he answered no if he would go to heaven. I figured he was just working with me on the script. It was not until we were half way through the prayer of salvation that I realized for him, it was real. At the end of the prayer I asked him if he really prayed the prayer. He said yes. I presumed that he was either witnessed to either on the way to church or answered the alter call at church. Sometimes you just never know. Luke 15:7.

This past Sunday I was working in Children’s Church and I have never seen anything like it before. Before service started the room was starting to get filled 20 minutes before service actually started. Kids began pouring in from both doors with cheerful faces as they saw their friends in the room. I started to play the Hillsong Kids DVD on the projector and the kids loved it. When service began it started off just like any other Sunday, a few games, a few giveaways, Joe Manno came up on stage and there was a new kind of energy coming from him. He began to throw candy out into the crowd of kids and began to start telling stories. When he finished telling his stories he asked if anyone wanted a bike. The kids went crazy! He brought a few kids on-stage along with his helpers. He made the kids have a dance off to see who would win the bike,that was one of 3 bikes that he gave away. After that he got in a serious attitude and told the kids to sit around the front of stage. He began to preach about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and he described it in a way that even I have never heard about. He described the whips that were used by the Roman soldiers to beat Jesus, he used so many descriptions that you could close your eyes and see everything he said. It was amazing how the kids responded. Many got touched by the Holy Spirit, a lot of those for the first time. Many lives were transformed there. He then proceeded and gave an alter call and over 150 kids gave their lives to Christ for the first time! It was an amazing thing to witness because you know that these kids will never be the same for as long as they live. And its amazing because we don’t know what God has for their lives, many of them will be nation shakers, many even generation shakers. God moved in a mighty way that will only grow and grow each week and I thank God for the opportunity to be a part of the mighty move of God that day.

Campmeeting was awesome and very powerful in my life. During the meetings I developed so much more of a hunger for spiritual things and really pressed into the deep things of God. God really spoke to me and touched me during the meetings. Even after the end of services God was still doing awesome things in my life. Whether it was the financial realm from sowing seed during that time and his supernatural provision or working on fruits and issues of the heart, God was constantly moving. It is amazing how every meeting is different and just how the teachings really sink into your heart. When the Pastor from Turkey spoke and they rolled the clip of what God was doing in Turkey was incredible. The way God is touching people in other areas of the world is amazing to me and the hunger that is being stirred up all around. God is truly getting ready to shake nations, if he hasn’t already started doing it yet. It is also amazing to see Pastors Rodney and Adonica Browne celebrate 30 years in ministry. What an accomplishment! I just think it is amazing that I am 33 years old and they have been doing this for 30 years. It is incredible! That showed me personally how the anointing will sustain you and that one touch from God will keep you running even decades later! The deep things of God are so awesome!

Another thing that was great to me during those meetings was to see my friends and family members get touched by God. It was my mom and aunt’s first time at the River Church and what a great time to come during winter camp meeting. My mom got touched with the joy of the Lord and is still getting touched weeks after the meeting. We are so fortunate to be able to sit under the anointing that is here and not have one hour dry cleaning services. Isn’t the Lord wonderful!!

I was mostly impacted by the different directions the Holy Spirit moved in the meetings and the intensity the people got touched and changed in the presence of God.

For me the most impacting day of campmeeting was Thursday night. For some reason i was spiritually hungry after the morning service like never before. I felt it so strong in my spirit that it actually affected me physically. I never felt something like this before. It was like my spirit was starving. So i couldn’t wait for the evening service. But then 20 minutes before the service one of the ushers asked me if i could help out that night because they were short on staff.

I was dissapointed at that moment because really wanted to press in that service. So now i had to usher and couldn’t really let the Holy Spirit fill me like i wanted him to.

During the whole service i still felt that hunger burning in my spirit. And then the presence exploded in the service and people got touched by God like never before in this week. All i could do was catching these people and watching carefully what’s going on.

That was a little frustrating because i could feel the Holy Spirit so strong but i wouldn’t allow him to overwhelm me.

Service ends and i am standing there, not knowing what to do. I wanted to go to Pastor Rodney to ask him if he could pray for me but then the Holy Spirit told me that i don’t need him to get touched God’s presence and so i just sat on a chair, lifted my arms and started to pray in tongues.

Immediately the power of God hit me and from this moment on it just became intense. I was laughing, crying and rolling on the floor for hours. The power of God hit me like never before and He was talking about a lot of important things to me in this time.

I finally got out of church at 3 o’clock in the morning, full of the Holy Spirit and so thankful for God’s faithfullness.

He wants to touch anybody and he will if we open ourselves for Him. There is no other person needed and the circumstances don’t matter for Him to come with his presence and change a live forever.
