The Spirit of God is moving…being in church feels electric – something is different. Revival is occurring across our country again… Find Jesus. He’s waiting for you. From Mindi Schneider who worked for me years ago at WFRN radio in Indiana and to this day remains a very dear friend, she and her entire family are part of our family!
Ugly Preaching is being willing to be his donkey. Let King Jesus ride you wherever he chooses, to speak to whomever he wishes. Remember that it is never about the donkey, but the One who rides it. From Jamie Stilson
MY GOODNESS! From Thom S. Rainer, Researcher: It’s no surprise that the U.S. Church is in a general state of decline. The magnitude of the decline, however, is staggering. Of the 300 million people in the United States, fewer than 20% regularly attend church. And our research suggests that close to 7.9 million people may be leaving churches annually. Crunch the numbers, and you realize that our churches are probably seeing more than 150,000 people walk away each week!

Thank you for allowing me to share some of my precious memories of my travels for JESUS!

I have taken part or led many revivals in my life. Some failed in the eyes of some, but seeds were planted. Some brought people to JESUS and led others into more of a intimate relationship with to our LORD! The Holy Spirit must be present!

Three revivals stand out in my mind, the Time to Revival revival in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have not seen any revival like this in New Mexico since! More Here

The other revival that sticks with me took place in Reserve, New Mexico, a village of 293 people, in June of 2015! WOW! We filled the Church one night and nearly filled it another night! I baptized adults and children. After this revival I baptized more people in the years afterward. Awhile back I had just preached in Glenwood, New Mexico, which is near Reserve, and a young lady in the restaurant I stopped to eat said as I entered, “Hey! That’s the pastor that baptized me!” Yes! I baptized her and her two sisters and mommy at the Reserve Revival in 2015! PTL!!! People are still hanging onto God after that revival. FGGAM BREAKING NEWS: REVIVAL COMES TO RESERVE, NM

I have made so many friends in Catron County New Mexico, so many of those friendships continue to this day! I was asked by Pastor Sheldon Wolf of FBC in Reserve to fill in for him this Sunday, but I am scheduled to fill-in for Pastor Dave Schumm at FBC in Glenwood this Sunday. There was a time years ago when I was traveling to Reserve every Sunday, for about 6 months to preach at FBC.

The other revival that sticks with me is when God first sent me to my hometown of Windom, Minnesota! The first revival we did there was an awakening to the community, I have overseen three revivals in my hometown. We about filled the BARC for the first night. The results of this revival were a movement by some folks for me to start a ministry radio program on KDOM and other stations in the area. We still air the program on KDOM and Hot Country in Windom. One time when I went back to do another revival, I was invited to speak at my home Church, The American Lutheran Church, led Pastor Sarah Larsen Tade. I had always prayed to the Lord that I would be able to go back home and preach at the church I attended. I told the folks that they have a precious community, and to work to keep it that way. I still remember going to Sunday school there at age 5! The Church was filled that Sunday when I preached! From all this, I have heard many stories over the years how these revivals affected people’s lives. God knows all.

It blows me away that when I google about the Revivals in Santa Fe and Reserve they show up! I hang onto to those good days, they help me through the tough times I face in ministry. I thank the Lord how He has grown the ministry of FGGAM over the last, almost 11 years. We will be 11 years young in August. Its amazing what God has done with this Mom and Pop ministry. I am always in Awe of God.

I love this message from Shane Ildeman!

Many years ago, a very old man who experienced a revival when he was younger, was asked why the revival ended. His eyes were filled with holy fire when he cried, “When you lay hold of God, never, never, never, never let go!” Let this be a warning as well as a reminder to never let go. More Here

When I talk to some Pastors about REVIVAL, they just smile and that’s about it. I am sadden that some Pastors will not step up and hold prayer meetings, revivals, spiritual awakenings, or whatever you want to call them. My guess they are afraid to fail, meaning not having large crowds. It is not about the crowds, it is about showing JESUS to one person at a time, one soul at a time. Pastors should not be concerned what PEOPLE THINK! They should be concerned about what GOD thinks and commands us to do like carry out The Great Commission! I am not afraid to fail in what man calls failure!

PTL!! Christian leaders and intercessors from around NM, across America and worldwide are coming to ABQ Saturday, March 4

I am praying I can attend, I am officiating a wedding on Saturday. I will see what the Lords does with my time.
