January 2010 Newsletter

Dear Partners in Pursuit of Revival,

    Blessings to each of you and yours as we begin 2010. I trust that your holiday season has been one of blessing. I want to express to you again our deep appreciation for your prayers for this ministry in 2009. It was a very busy year with the equivalent of over 5 times around the globe at the Equator in actual airline miles traveled across America and to other nations.
 

    God's presence and power came in every meeting in every place He sent us. Heaven keeps the records of all those who were saved, rededicated, and touched this past year so we'll leave all those things to Him. Needless to say, there were many lives impacted by all that God did. We are so thankful to have been allowed to be there and see Him work. To God be all the glory, honor, and praise for everything that He did.

    As we look ahead to 2010, I sense God wants to do so much more this coming year. Doors are now open to many parts of the world. Our schedule includes three trips to other nations, India, Venezuela, and England, just in the next three months plus at least that many more to other parts of the world in the remainder of the year. These are in addition to the meetings in churches here in America. Your prayers and financial partnership with us this year have never been so important as they are now.

    We continue to feel called to do “Glory In The City” Conferences in cities in America and England. We are going back to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for our 15th “Glory In The City” conference in February. We continue to feel that one of things that God has called us to do is to gather His people from cities and regions and with one voice, petition Him to send true atmospheric revival and awakening to our nation again. We are also planning to begin hosting “Glory In The City” conferences every other month in Meridian, Mississippi beginning in April.

   There are two basic reasons we do all we do as a ministry and they are quite simple. One, we must realize the urgency of the hour in which we are living. We MUST have revival in our nation and others. There really is no other solution for the issues and problems we now face. The Church MUST be stirred and awakened from its lethargy and return to a place of the passionate pursuit of His presence, respect and honor for His Word, and repentance from those things that offend Him. It is time for His burning holiness to produce integrity in the hearts of His people in order that true revival can bring transformation to the nations.

   The second reason we are so motivated in this hour is that we believe that NOW is the day of the harvest! It is the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God wants to do greater things in our generation than He has in any other! The hour has come in which the Holy Spirit is going to make Jesus famous like no other time in history! The German evangelist Reinhard Bonnke said recently that it took 20 years before his ministry reached 1,000,000 people who had received Jesus into their hearts as evidenced by decision cards. Yet between 2000 and 2010, in only 10 years, 52,000,000 people have filled out decision cards for Jesus in their meetings! Reports from nations around the globe echo the same story of dramatic increase in the work of the Holy Spirit. We are approaching the greatest days the Church has ever known in which, “…the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.” It is time for the laborers to go into the fields! We want to be some of those people who help revival to come and the harvest be gathered!
   
      We invite you to visit our website at www.johnshiverministries.org. We covet your prayers as never before. If you would like to partner with us in all that God has called us to do, you can do so on the tab below.

    May all of God’s richest blessings be yours in ever increasing measure in 2010!

                                         His love and mine,

                                                John and Evette Shiver

Revival in the nations… nothing more… nothing less...
nothing else!
