336 Accounts of Revival
During the months of December and January, we compiled a list of revivals that occurred in over six locations. These events took place during the era of the First Great Awakening and were associated with the Presbyterian ministers Samuel Blair and John Rowland.

The accounts of these revivals can be read on our website using the following links:

Making Disciples and Setting Them Free
In addition to documenting revival accounts, we invest a tremendous amount of time in one-on-one discipleship and the ministry of freedom and deliverance. For us, this is the most rewarding part of serving others. We get to be part of people taking steps closer and closer to God, helping them navigate difficult life decisions, as well as helping them overcome emotional and spiritual barriers. On top of all that, we also greatly enjoy laying a deep foundation of doctrinal truth in the lives of these individuals.

Through our discipling efforts, we have seen people professing Christ as their savior, getting baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit, being delivered and set free and healed from many traumatic experiences. This is extremely exciting to watch unfold.

This young lady seated between us is Emily Manz. She is currently staying in our home and is one of the individuals we are discipling. By being able to observe our lives firsthand, in our home, in all situations, she is getting an extraordinary taste of what it was like for Jesus’ disciples as they lived day and night with Him.

Please pray for Emily as she seeks God for her life’s plans to be revealed.

Encounter Night
On Sunday night, January 28, Chet was privileged with the opportunity to minister during New Hope Christian Center’s Encounter Night. On that night, the presence and power of God were manifested in an extremely powerful manner. Jesus was literally walking up and down the aisles, with people describing their experiences in different ways:
► “I felt a tingling going through my body.”
► “I smelled frankincense.”
► “I felt the weight of his glory.”
► “I kept seeing a flickering fire.”

There were many other such experiences.

We are not taken aback by, nor do we dismiss, such experiences, because Peter said that due to an experience he had (on the Mount of Transfiguration), “He had ‘even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets’ ” (2 Pet. 1:19).

We are anticipating much to come from that Encounter Night!
