>>Tell Us Your Story

Most Spirit-filled believers have encountered some form of revival or major outpouring. We want to hear about your experience—whether it’s been at Lakeland, Brownsville, Toronto, Timbuktu or anywhere else in the world.

How did it affect you? Were you saved during it? Healed? Scarred? What are the lasting results? What did you encounter during the ongoing meetings? Glorious outpourings of the Holy Spirit? Unusual manifestations? False teachings?

Online Exclusives
All Revival, All the Time

GOD TV and the Internet have made thousands of people revival junkies. If you’re one of them and still can’t get enough revival coverage (as if this issue wasn’t enough!), we’ve got more available exclusively online, including entire feature articles on the topic. Among the highlights:

  • Revivalist Rodney Howard-Browne on the purpose of Pentecost
  • Pastor Norman Benz, whose church has experienced revival for 11 years on the varying interpretations of revival throughout history
  • Argentinean revival pastor Steve Horning on what prevents revival

    The Lakeland Outpouring
    Who’s Saying What?

    The events at Lakeland have sparked more than just worldwide excitement for a fresh move of God. Only weeks after the outpouring began, heated debates were already erupting in the blogosphere over everything from angelic encounters to the validity of healings to questions of Lakeland being a counterfeit revival.

    Click on the “Revival” link on our home page for a comprehensive look at what’s transpired at Lakeland, including commentary, reaction and blogs from:

  • Evangelist Todd Bentley
  • Foursquare President Jack Hayford
  • Global missionary Peter Horrobin
  • Regal Books editor Gary S. Greig
  • Ministry Today publisher/founder Stephen Strang
  • Ministry Today editor Marcus Yoars
  • Charisma editor J. Lee Grady

    Are you stretching far enough?

    Besides being a popular classroom projectile among middle-school students, rubber bands also provide the perfect analogy for leadership. Stretch your team too far and they’ll break; give them too much slack and they’ll never reach their potential. So how do you manage this inherent tension as you lead your church staff? We sat down with leadership guru Nancy Ortberg to ask just that question (and several more). Listen in as the founding partner of Teamworx2 and former Willow Creek teaching pastor offers free advice on everything from parting ways with a bad hire to creating defining moments for your church.
