The Ministry of Gil & Loraine Howard-Browne


There is a sound of revival in the air :
Thursday 23rd Mar., was the 38th meeting in 19 days at the Burning Bush Tabernacle in Grayling Michigan.  38 meetings in the presence of the Lord.  You would think that people would be tired after so many meetings, but not so. God's glory and refreshing rain fell each meeting, and even though people had driven in nightly from 1 to 2 hours away, the enthusiasm was there every meeting.  It was amazing to see people waiting outside the church 30 minutes before starting time, a new for this church.
The morning meeting was a worship/prayer meeting between 11:30am and around 2pm (or whenever God is done), every day except Sunday,  and then nightly at 7pm for our revival meeting.  
Our history with the city of Grayling, goes back to the first revivals we did back in 1992.  God has had us return at least every two years and we have had many great meetings.
But even though the meetings have always been good, there was a fresh wave of Glory and intensity of the anointing from the first Sunday morning meeting.  People kept remarking that when they entered the sanctuary, they could feel the presence of God. 
I had some business to attend to one morning, and I walked in about 30 minutes late and walked through a wall of glory.  I spent the next half hour weeping before the Lord and then the next half hour weeping and laughing.  It was incredible.    See Full Report       ( One month later, I interviewed Pastor Patty Petrie on the aftermath of this revival -  CLICK HERE TO LISTEN )

Grayling Revival Update :  
I received a call from Pastor Patty Petrie from the Burning Bush Tabernacle.   One of the church members witnessed to a lady whose relative was dying of cancer.  She had asked her if he was a Christian to which she replied "no".    
She then explained that if he were to give his life to Christ, that the Lord could heal him.  The lady asked "can everyone get saved?"   After being assured that everyone could be saved, she asked if she and the pastor could visit them at home and pray for her relative's salvation. 
When they arrived at the home, there were about 12 relatives present.  Pastor Patty explained the plan of salvation to the man and when asked if he wanted to receive Jesus, he replied yes as did the rest of the adults. 
They led all 12 people in the prayer of salvation.  There was weeping and joy that broke out in the family.   The next Sunday, the entire 12 came to the meeting and again came forward for prayer.  This event has caused quite a stir in the church and a renewed interest in soul winning.   God is a Great God.

Thomasville, GA  Revival Meetings :

We finished a mini revival April 7,8 & 9 , Fri night Sat am & pm and Sunday am at Hebron Fellowship Church in Thomasville, GA with pastor Tom Jones.    These meetings were every bit as powerful as was the 38 meeting revival in Grayling Mi.  God moved each meeting in such a tangible and powerful way and each night God met someone supernaturally.
On both nights, there were people who were still under the power of God until after Midnight.  People saw angels in the meeting and a number of people were powerfully touched by the Spirit of God.
We had quite a few people driving in from Tallahassee, FL for the meetings.   The worship was amazing and people were intensely hungry for more of God.   The result, where there is hunger, God moves.  We will definitely be going back for an extended revival in the near future. 

Coldsprings, Mi.  Revival Meetings :

I am presently in Coldspring, near Mancelona, Mi.   Directions   If you are in the area, come and experience the presence of God in these meetings.  Our first three meetings have been unbelievable.  The rain of heaven is falling.  Sunday night was packed and Monday night was slightly smaller crowd but the move of God has been amazing.  We started at 6:30pm and people were still at the altar at 10:30pm.
