Rodney Howard Browne says that Ministers Conference 2010 was amazing for me and for all the people that God brought to Tampa, Florida. Every day you come expecting the Lord to do great things and He does. The Lord brought in great speakers  from around the world that have forever changed my thinking and the way that I live by bringing me to deeper realization of God’s goodness. It is a week of dedication to press in and receive all that God has for you.

Rodney Howard Brown stated that I personally enjoyed the praise and worship this conference. I enjoyed getting into God’s presence and worshipping Him because “God inhabits the praises of His people.” (Psalms 22:3) I also spent a couple of services serving in the call center taking phone calls of people needing prayer. I heard the cries of God’s people and know that when I pray and give them the encouragement from the word of God it uplift their spirit. To bring joy through the love of God has blessed me. When serving you realize that you are doing it unto God and your whole heart is in bringing Him glory in the Great Awakening Tours.

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us that this conference we were blessed to have been ministered not only by our pastors, Pastor Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne, but also by Phil Smithers, Andre Ruebert, and Guilermo Maldonado.  When sitting and hearing the amazing sermons and testimonies of these great men and women of God, you can’t help but to be forever changed. I encourage all to come and attend and let the presence of God change your life through the Great Awakening Tour.

Rodney Howard Browne stated that when I began internship I was slightly worried at where I would fit in and how I would adapt to everything. I’m glad to say, being an intern is an honor and a privilege and I take it very seriously. My first week I did a lot of administration work which was good. I probably filed hundreds of papers, and there was still a pile left! I enjoyed working in the River Bible Institute office in the Great Awakening Tour.

The second week I was given an assignment to get some perks for all the students coming in, for example student discounts and deals. That turned out to be awesome, and there was much fruit from it. Just finishing the project yesterday, I can say it was very successful and I’m excited to get more discounts for our students through out the year. As an intern you are required to be on the offering schedule. I had no idea what this meant until a couple weeks into the internship.

Rodney Howard Brown says that there are multiple services throughout the week so everyone takes a shift. After the offering message is given, we collect the offerings and count them. This may seem like a small unimportant task to many but I saw it as a great honor. I feel very honored to be a part of counting the Lord’s money. It is not something small, it is a great responsibility. I have found myself counting offering almost every time since. I fully enjoy serving the Lord and counting carefully the money that has been given to Him. I’m learning that the Lord doesn’t really look when everyone is looking, but He pays close attention to the times when no ones is around, when you’re by yourself working at your own level of integrity.

Rodney Howard Browne stated that we were at a Fry Food and a girl was waiting at the bus stop. When I asked her was she saved she started crying because she wasn’t sure that God loved because she was 17 with no parents. But she listened to what I had to say and gave her life to Christ. The Great Awakening Tours stated that then said it felt like someone wrapping their arms around her.  Also we were downtown and this guy with a cast ran up to me and said that his arm was hurt. So, I prayed with him and he was saved and healed. Then he began to tell everyone around him about his healing.

Rodney Howard Browne stated that my experience today was beautiful. I have never evangelized before. The enemy has tried to tell me that I couldn’t do it.  But I beat him, and it was wonderful to see people accept Jesus. I saw their faces change before my eyes. This couple wanted someone to pray for their needs and when we started to pray, the wife began to yell to God for help. It was marvelous!!

Rodney Howard Brown says that I walked up to a lady downtown. She wasn’t sure if she’d go to heaven, so she prayed with me. We were walking while praying and when we were done, she stopped. She started crying and said she was just praying in her head at the moment I walked up to her and said she’d been having a really bad day, but now she feels so much better.

Rodney Howard Browne stated that Summer Camp meeting was a life changing experience. It was amazing! Every service was full of fire and passion. I received an impartation of the fire of God in my heart. I became more sensitive to the Holy Spirit, aware of the flow of the Spirit of God and even more apt to pray for the sick.  Rodney Howard Brown says that it was nothing but a pure flow of the Holy Ghost. This past week was one of downloads. It stirred up a hunger and passion for Christ!

The Great Awakening Tours stated that it helped me put myself in a position, continually, to be prepared for Christ’s return! I was also amazed at the awesome miracles that took place. Rodney Howard Brown stated that a young lady was blind in her eye and could see. Another lady was deaf in one ear and her ear popped open! Rod The message remained the same throughout the conference which was for us to be ignited to see a generation changed. I found myself, in several occasions, overwhelmed with joy unspeakable and full of glory!

The Great Awakening Tours says preaches about the presence of God was so tangible; it was if God Himself breathed in the place. It was like Heaven on earth! We had the opportunity to bask in the presence of the living God. We were saturated in His presence! Rodney Howard Browne says that there was a love that was flowing as well as great unity among the believers. There was a cry: one voice screaming out for this generation to wake up and heed the call of the Lord! The anointing was so tangible. So much so that several nights the joy of the Lord bubbled so strong in me that when Pastor Rodney came and laid his hands on me, it was literally like a fire that began to pour from the tip of my fingers to the soles of my feet. And the more I yielded to the fire of God; the more I received and it was becoming a consuming fire.

The camp meeting was a complete success. From the ministers to the Spirit of God, to people being ignited and on fire in this generation; we will never be the same!

Rodney Howard Browne says that I was a Christian since 1993. I knew that I need to tell other people about Jesus, but I didn’t know how I can do this. And I really never lead a one person to Jesus by myself. One day two years ago team from Riga (Latvia) came to my church in small city, where we was serving with my husband. I was going together with pastor’s wife Irina Peremot as her disciple on my town streets. I just wondering, how she could answer to so many people’s questions and how it`s happening, that women with the ace cream in hands is ready to pray after her and so easily receive Jesus as Lord and Savior in Great Awakening Tours.

I’m coming from Baptist church, so my understanding about what really is Salvation and how you can receive Jesus was very conservative and turned into one way. After this experience, I’m not anymore the same.

Rodney Howard Brown says that I learned how to lead people to Jesus, how to walk in power of Holy Spirit, to be sensitive to people’s needs, pray for them. I felt how compassion of Christ comes upon me, when I going to witness them and ask those tow simple questions.  Rodney Howard Browne stated that love of Jesus just covers me and I love to see changes in people’s eyes. Joy and Love come to their lives. I love it! I become a teacher other people and instruct them in other countries, how to win souls for eternity. This is a greatest thing, that I could get for whole my life.

The Great Awakening Tours stated that for me it is not about numbers, but about share the Love of Christ and to see the changes, impact in other people’s lives. I`m so glad for everyone person, who seriously accept Christ and make this important decision to fallow Him, who is ready to change from old to new. I encourage everyone go out and see how great that is. Love… Share… Confess… Rejoice by Rodney Howard Browne.

Rodney Howard Browne says that in regards to soul winning, it is amazing to see how God has used me, just by using the script. It has truly impacted my life to have a tool in my hand that is easy and effective and most importantly a tool that snatches someone who was on their way to hell and is now on their way to heaven. I personally feel so honored and blessed to be in a church that is mobilized to reach souls and is so on fire on God. I know that as a result of this tool,

Rodney Howard Brown stated that I personally have been mobilized to reach a lost and dying world that I might not have been able to reach had it not been for this so easy and very effective tool that even a child can use and they do. Winning souls is the core essential to Christianity, without it, I would dare to say that we should not even call ourselves Christians in the Great Awakening Tours.

Rodney Howard Browne says that To be a Christian is to be Christ like, and Christ was all about winning souls. Before He descended into the heavens, He sent His disciples to preach the gospel to every creature, to lay hands on the sick, to preach deliverance to the captives, to heal the broken hearted, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. I believe that the life of the believer would not be complete without it.  Rodney Howard Brown stated that there is such a joy and a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment when you do what you’ve been called to do. There is no other feeling like it.

The Great Awakening Tours stated that every church should use this tool in their church and mobilize the people and see how the Lord blesses you. It is very simple, at first I was very nervous, but as you continue to do it, you will get bolder with the help of the Holy Spirit, always remembering that if they reject you, they’re not rejecting you, they’re rejecting Jesus. You are simply planting a seed and after that it’s out of your hands. Go freely! Go bold by Rodney Howard Brown.

Rodney Howard Browne says that soul winning should be our number focus. It’s all that is going to matter when we stand before our king. It’s not a program, it’s a passion, it’s the great commission of our lord, and it’s about sharing life to a lost and dying world. It’s about giving salvation, new life to a world, that’s in need of Jesus, the only savior. We have that life, freely given to us and Jesus said freely we should give!!!

Soul winning is the reason why I came to bible school. On our way here from South Africa, we missed our plane, and I got frustrated and asked myself how could you miss a plane?? Little did I know that a couple of hours later there was a man in need to hear this good news at the airport, we went to sit down to eat, and I saw this man, and I felt to share the gospel with him, so I went over and shared Jesus with him… coming to know at the end that he wanted to give up his life, and he called his wife over the phone, he was weeping, she was in England and both of them gave their hearts to Jesus. That night god answered my question… “How do you miss a plane??” Because he wanted to show me the reason why he was sending me to Florida, to be under the sold out for Jesus and the great commission ministry. “To win souls!!!! I really can’t thank god enough for sending pastor Rodney to South Africa…to stir up the reason why i was born the one reason, to win souls… the heartbeat of god is souls…Great Awakening Tours

So easily it can become a program if we allow it and it has happened to me, but every time we go to the streets, or knock on doors from neighborhood to neighborhood, and to see a heart turning to its maker, there really is no greater feeling, no greater satisfaction!!!! Soul winning at the river church is the number one focus, and it has changed my whole life… thank you Jesus, for sending me here…thank you so much!Rodney Howard Brown

Soul winning has been an amazing experience for me. Before I came to RBI for Bible school, I had never really been a person for one on one soul winning. Since coming here, I’ve seen so many awesome things happen on the streets; however the thing that I’ve come to realize is what God is doing through us, as a school to impact the people on those streets. One story that stands out to me, was actually only a few weeks ago for Super Soul Winning Saturday. We had been knocking doors in a complex, and we were really getting nowhere.

The people were either already saved, not interested, or just not answering their doors. In the natural, it would have been easy to give up, but in my heart, I felt the tugging of the Holy Spirit on my heart, just to press in for the souls of that complex. I knocked on the next door and a younger guy answers. He prays with me and gets saved. I then went to the next door, and it was open. I knocked, and a man, his wife, and his 2 kids are sitting there on their couch.

I greeted them and started to go through the script, when the power of God starts coming on the lady. She starts crying. I continue to go through the script and their whole family prayed with me. I took down their information on my “Keep Me On Your Prayer List” form, and invite them out to church. I left that day, rejoicing for the souls of that complex. The next day at the River, I was sitting in the foyer, when a little girl comes up to me and says “Hi Do you remember me?” It was the little girl from that family. I look up and I see that whole family in church that Sunday morning. God is good, and it’s necessary to press in for souls so that others can know how good God really is.

When I first came to RBI my favorite way to serve God and to live for the Lord was to win souls. I had been winning souls since I was saved in 2004. I came to RBI because I heard amazing testimonies of how people were winning thousands of souls and I wanted to be part of these exploits. Using the script is an awesome way to preach the Gospel with such focus and intent that it simply tells the whole Gospel and then brings people to the point of making a decision in just a few minutes. For me personally, I had prayed many times that God would use me to bring thousands, even millions of souls into the kingdom.

This was more than a prayer, but a deep cry of my heart that God put there, and I know that he has begun to fulfill this desire and prayer by bringing me to RBI and The River Church. Preaching the Gospel is such a crucial part of being a Christian, and I am very excited to be able to teach others what I’ve learned scripturally about our responsibility to preach. There is much deception and fear about this central part of the Gospel in the body of Christ, and I believe that with what I now have learned in the Bible about winning souls, I will be able to help others walk this out as well.

Many people in the body of Christ are unfulfilled and lacking joy because they are missing out on preaching the Gospel and having the kingdom manifest through them, because this is what every person was created to do.

When I first started soul winning seriously is when I first came to RBI. Soul winning has changed my life. I remember the first time I used the soul winning script, wow I was nervous. I walk right up to this group of people; they were just standing there outside their house. All of sudden the Lord just gave me boldness when I started reading the script and all seven of the people that were standing there said the prayer with me. I was so amazed, that was it for me, I was hook!

That scripture in Mark 16:15, really came alive to me, Jesus is calling me to preach the Gospel to every creature. That day change everything for me, the Lord open my eyes to see this is what it’s all about. All I wanted to do is soul win everywhere I went. I really have a heart for the lost. Since I was going to RBI and now I’m almost done with the first year, I can tell you so many stories what I seen during this year.

I remember one time when we went out to this place in the projects of Tampa and it was a rainy day, but that didn’t stop us. It was awesome for me, that day was really a big day for me , I prayed with like twenty something that day, and I remember this one moment, it started to rain and we were getting ready to leave and all of sudden I see this field of kids practicing for football, and I was like thank you Jesus! I didn’t care if it was rainy.

The Lord gave me such boldness, I ran out there. All the kids look right over at me and I started reading the script to them and they all said it with me, and even the coaches did too! Then I ran back to the van , I started laughing, the Joy of the Lord starting to hit me. There are so many stories I can say about this year about soul winning but all I know is that the lord change my life and open my eyes about souls and made me to realize that it’s not a program it’s a lifestyle!
