Dear Friends and Fans,
I have just returned from Lakeland, Florida where God is pouring out His Spirit in a miraculous move that has been deemed "THE FLORIDA OUTPOURING".
I was blessed to invited to be a part of Dr. Clarice Fluitt's Ministry Team which was originally scheduled to minister April 24th through April 27 at a women's conference entitled "THE TIME IS NOW" to be held at the Ignited Church in Lakeland, FL . The conference had been planned for nearly a year by His Word Ministries and Dr. Clarice was one of the main speakers that had been invited and scheduled to speak at the conference.
However,on April 4th in Lakeland at the Ignited Church when an evangelist from Canada, Todd Bentley began what was to be a 5 day series of meetings there, God began to pour out His Spirit in the manifestation of undeniable miracles and salvation of souls. After those first five days, Pastor Stephen Strader, the leaders of the Ignited Church and Todd Bentley, along with his associates declared that they would continue in this revival for several more weeks, holding meetings daily at 10 am and 7 pm. Thus, began The Great Florida Outpouring.
"THE TIME IS NOW" women's conference was not cancelled though they were scheduled to meet during the times they were having the OUTPOURING meetings. Instead, those in leadership realized God's greater plan took precedence and the conference continued on incorporated into the OUTPOURING.
Dr. Clarice's team, of which I was a part of, ministered on Thursday, April 24th, Saturday, April 26th, Sunday, April 27th and Monday, April 28th. Our meetings were webcasted live from Ignited Church worldwide as have all the OUTPOURING meetings been webcasted daily and nightly at 10 am and 7 pm, respectively.
A side note here-- Dr. Clarice is in Apostolic leadership at Ignited Church and gave a prophetic word to the leadership there 8 years ago that revival would spring forth in Lakeland that would have an effect around the world. I will be posting that prophetic word on the webpages that we are putting together along with other pertinent information.
I will be adding more content to my website regarding the miracles I witnessed and the things that I personally experienced at the nightly meetings of THE OUTPOURING. Also, I will be adding the streaming video of Dr. Clarice's ministry from Saturday, April 26th and Monday, April 28th to my website, as well as other pictures and information on ordering the CD I had available there or downloading the CD or individuals songs from the CD.
Check back on the website tonight and tomorrow.
Here is a little history and the state of currect events regarding the logistitics of THE OUTPOURING as I understand it.
The meetings were being webcasted from Ignited Church and thousands of people began to hear about this move of God and logging on. Churches were logging on and showing the webcasts in their churches. God-TV joined in and began broadcasting the meetings worldwide with on their satellitte dish network. Thousands of Christians worldwide and other seeking healing and salvation began to arrive in Lakeland, Florida for healing and revival. THE OUTPOURING outgrew the Ignited Church building which could seat around 700 people with approximately another 500 in overflow areas in and outside the church property. So they moved the meetings to Ignited Church's sister church, Abundant Life Church in Auburndale 10 miles away, which could seat 3,000 people. They were only there for several days as there were soon over 5,000 people trying to gain entrance to the meetings. On Monday,April 28th the OUTPOURING was again moved to a new venue. This time is it was moved to the Lakeland Civic Center which seats 8,000.
Todd Bentley and the other leaders involved in this miraculous move of God have now declared that they will stay in Florida and minister in this OUTPOURING for as long as the Lord leads them to do so. They are moving the meetings once again to the Joker Marchant Stadium ( aka: Tiger Stadium ) Friday, May 2 through May 4 as the crowds continue to grow.
Watch the webcasts at www.ignitedchurch.com or www.god-tv.com. You will be blessed --no doubt. The anointing can be experienced through your computer and via your television. God Bless You!

JOHN STEWART PASSES
I'm thinking today about John Stewart, the great singer/songwriter who passed away Saturday in San Diego of a massive brain hemmorahage. You can check out the story here in the LA Times.

or here at http://www.chillywinds.com/ (a very nice story)
I had the great experience in 1973 to meet John and Buffy Ford in Nashville and be a background vocalist on his classic album "CANNONS IN THE RAIN". I remember having great time and hanging out at RCA Studio B during the whole project. I had just signed with Elektra Records that January and was waiting for my first album to come out. Pete Drake was working on the album and introduced me to John, who instantly invited me to be on the project. It was a thrill for me as I had been a HUGE Kingston Trio fan. My older brother Lee and I saw him with Bob Shane and Nick Reynold at the Miami Beach Civic Center in 1962. I was 13 years old. You can only imagine how wonderful it was for me in 1973 to not only meet one of my major musical influences, but to work with him as well.
