| My dear
friends and supporters. I am sure revival is on your heart. You know how wonderful
it is to bask in the presence of the Son of God under the blanket of the wonderful
anointing of the Holy Spirit. You would probably love to be in a meeting right now. And
rightly so. Because they are special times of refreshing that come from the presence of
the Lord. (Acts 3:19) They are times when we get renewed, refreshed, encouraged and
changed. They are times when we get glimpses of God's glory and we see things as He sees
them.
Thank God for revival fires that are still burning strong. But there is much work to be
done and millions of Christians accross the globe that have still not tasted of the Powers
of the world to come. They are crying out for the touch of God and we are willing to go.
Are you willing to help us go?

| Web site and Internet Radio - A big success. |
|
 Technology is a great tool and we can use it to reach the lost. The Internet is
one of the most powerful tools that we have and I am really blessed by the response to our
web site (est 1996) and our NEW Internet radio we launched a few weeks ago. If you have
not checked it out yet, please do so. Our hit counter has gone through the roof. The stats
speak for themselves. Our overall stats for Revivaltimes.com for the period July 1 - 24
are . . . Unique hits = 21301 / Sunday is the highest viewing day and Monday is the second
highest day. Go figure. / 12 noon has the highest hourly hits of 8061 and 5am the lowest
at 503. However every other hour is above 1,000. / Our Internet radio had 6701 requests
this month using 71.13% of total bandwidth. Average data transferred per day = 198
megabytes and the total for July = 4.456 gigabytes.
I am really encouraged by the figures because it shows that we are reaching people we
could never reach in our normal revival meetings. The web site is an extension to our
normal ministry and is reaching many people with the good news that Jesus loves them and
wants to bless, refresh, touch and change them.
Just to let you know, that even when we are not in meetings, our ministry, via the web,
continues to reach many many more than we could ever reach physically. These are the
countries that visited our web site during the period July 1 - 24. The USA tops the list
with 9,435 unique visits and Canada 1620 and the balance coming from Sweden, Belize, South
Africa, India, Singapore, Switzerland, US Military, US Government, New Zealand, Japan,
Finland, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Argentina, Thailand, Malaysia, Germany &
Italy. We are adding more material in the next few days plus some stunning changes coming
in the very near future.

| The suddenlies of the Holy Ghost are wonderful!!! |
|
| Two Saturday's ago, I received a call from a couple who pastor a
church in Gainsville, FL. The were really keen to have some revival meetings and when I
suggested the next day (Sunday) was open, they immediately grabbed the opportunity. They
were called to pastor the church about four months ago. A number of the congregation left
when the previous pastor left, so in fact, they are pioneering a new church. The crowds
were small, but the presence and power of God was awesome. We worshipped till the glory
fell.
The front each night seemed to be the focal point of the glory of God, and people got
mightly touched even during the preaching. Among them was an Episcopalian Priest and good
friend of ours who was so grateful for the river that flowed for the five meetings. She
said that se felt like God had organized the meetings just for her. But there were others,
like the Baptist lady who had not been in church in a number of years. The power of God
hit her and she began to spin around and dance. And the granny in the wheelchair who got
filled with the joy each night. I just love it when God overwealms people and they get
beside themselves just like the believers in Acts 2:7 & 12 God's touch is so sweet.
It was not hard to notice that another lady in the meeting desperately needed God's
outpouring of love and refreshing in her life. God gave me a word for her and she got so
encouraged that the joy of the Lord hit her. She came back the next night and the same
thing happened. Well on the fourth night when she did not arrive, we wondered why. After
the meeting we found out that her sister had passed away. Her family were amazed that she
did not go to pieces, as that would have been her normal reaction. God knew what was ahead
and provided her with a fresh new anointing inside. "... the Joy of the Lord was her
strength... " Neh 8:10 |
| Lasting testimonies ... a sign of a genuine work of God |
|
 In recent meetings in Montague Michigan, a lady whom we know well, shared a
testimony that really touched my heart. She had attended the three week revival back in
1993 and God profoundly touched her. She probably spent every night for three weeks on the
floor, crying and laughing. We did not really know what God was doing in her life, but it
was evident that something deep was happening. She shared that God had healed her from
memories of an abortion that her parents had forced her to have. For many years that
experience held her captive and she felt the guilt and pain of the loss of her child.
During the time on the floor, she experienced something that felt like the birth of a
baby. Then she saw Jesus holding the child in His arms and smiling at her and her baby. He
told her, "it is ok my daughter, your baby is with me" She testified that the
experience released her from the years of torment.
It has been nine years since that experience and her life has never been the same. She
also met her husband during the three week revival and they married a year later and have
been happily married for nine years now. God is so good and knows exactly how to bring
life giving liberty into our lives. Praise God!!! |

| Isa 6
"...who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me" |
 |
| Matthew 7:8 "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. " This has got to be the most
important time in the history of the church. I believe there has never been a greater
urgency than now to reach the lost in and out of Church. But that task is not ours alone
but those that help us do what God has called us to do. Most of you know, we minister
predominantly in smaller churches, so it is always a step of faith to go where He leads
us. Now the first quarter of this year was great, with a full schedule of meetings and
good finances. However, the second quarter turned out to be rather thin. We had a few
churches re-schedule us for later this year and that left a vacuum both in ministry and
financially. We know that God is our source, but He uses people on this earth to help
us. Not strangers, but people we know who love us and enjoy our ministry. Our news letter
has been sent out four times this year, with only a small reference to giving. It has been
rather disappointing indeed to find only 4 or 5 people out of the entire TRM mailing list
actually going online to send us an offering or mailing in a check. To those I say, a big
thank you for thinking of us and acting on the prompting of the Lord.
It is probably my fault for only making a one paragraph request right at the end of the
previous news letters. Well, I need to be upfront and frank (or is that Gil) with you. We
need your support. We have some extremely pressing needs right now and we need a financial
miracle.
Teach your mouse to give now!!! You can click on my photo above or the link below and
send us an offering on our secure server merchant account. You will receive an immediate
email receipt and we will send you an official TRM receipt at the end of the year. As a
special thankyou for your love gift of $30 or more, we will send you our brand new CD Rom
containing three ebooks, 14 MP3 songs, and several teachings, and articles that will bless
you. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. God Bless you richly. Evangelist Gil
