Revival Reports from Racine.
 
I seldom post here but I thought I would share a report on our ongoing revival. We started revival on Sunday 1 and kicked off an attendance drive. Last week we had nearly 200 visitors and yesterday 72 in both services. We have had 5 filled with the Holy Ghost baptism and 8 baptized in Jesus Name. The church is excited and so is their Pastor. Evangelist Jonathan Dudley of Wichita is preaching the meeting doing a super job.

Yeah, but how many of the 5 are born again (with the evidence of speaking in tongues)?

I think you are talking to the wrong guy.
I believe we are Born Again on the inside. Submitting to baptism is what converted people do.

Great! Just curious.

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
Jn. 3:5 is the new birth. Simple to me. The others are praying in the altar for the Holy Ghost.
aegism76 we are doing an attendance drive with the church divided into 2 teams they are working hard. We do not count folks who visit from other Apostolic churches which have been many. Looking forward to tonite.

I would love to be there to see this. Is there some way that I can get the cds? I have not heard Bro. Jonathan Dudley preach in several years, and wish that I could be there to hear him. I am planning on hearing his father preach in a couple of weeks.

God bless you, and may you have more than eight new people by the end of this revival.

28 visitors tonite and a mighty move of the Holy Ghost.

Does it matter? Whether you're a 1 or 3-stepper, we should all be able to agree that sinners repenting, being baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost is something to celebrate! :)

I think we all know where Elder Epley stands, and I think we probably know where you stand.......so, let's not turn this into a debate thread.....just say "Great" and save the debate for another thread! :heeheehee

Better yet, dig up one of the old debates and read it so that Bro. Epley can keep strong for the revival. We do not want him to wear out too quickly. :D


Bro. Epley, how might I get the cds from your revival?

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
Bro Epley, I wish I could visit... Can your evangelist do a "remote viewing" of sorts? And does he take MasterCard/Visa?

Steve Epley 04-16-2012 06:53 AM

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
Our weather was horrid yesterday with storms and tornado warnings but we still had 35 visitors both services and 1 recieved the Holy Ghost.

Jay 04-17-2012 01:40 PM

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
Praise the Lord for His mercies endure forever. Glad that your revival is going well. I am praying for all of you.

Steve Epley 04-22-2012 11:47 PM

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
Our revival closed tonite we had 378 visitors during the revival not counting saints from other Apostolic churches which were many. Several were baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost.

Jay 04-22-2012 11:54 PM

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
That is great. I am looking forward to seeing everything when I come down for Campmeeting. I am hoping to hear Bro. N. Dudley, Bro. J. Dudley's father, as he is preaching for Bro. Townsley this at the end of this week.

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
Isn't Bro. Odom down in your direction somewhere?

If he is, it is not being advertised. No outreach.

Sorry, I was not very clear. I thought that he pastored down in that area. I am not acquainted with enough of the ministers who travle to know their schedules. I do believe that there are some conferences that are going to be held in the MS or LA area. If you want, I will try to find them for you, but the are going to be WPF. I have no idea what the UPC or others have going right now.

AreYouReady? 04-23-2012 02:08 PM

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
There are no WPF churches here that I know of in my region.

Jay 04-23-2012 02:15 PM

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
If you live in Mississippi, there are nearly 12 or 13 WPF churches in the state, and likely more that fellowship with us. Having said that, I am not certain of my numbers. Some states have several while others have few or none. North Carolina, Louisiana, and California all have a large number. My state of Illinois only has three or four.

Do you have any idea of the number of congregations that are in the WPF?

AreYouReady? 04-23-2012 05:42 PM

Re: Revival Reports from Racine.
 
Well...I looked it up. The closest WFP church is about 60 miles away.

We live in a big void.
