Greetings Beloved of God! Happy Thursday!
Well, same story different week. God is still moving mightily across the nation!
Even earlier today I read another report of revival breaking out on a college campus- this time at Purdue University in Indiana:
There is also a picture going viral of what happened this weekend at the NFL combine- a large group of college aged Offensive Lineman were praying together on the field before they did their drills.
On top of this, the Auburn Tigers Men’s Basketball team, who are currently the #1 ranked team in America, are experiencing a revival on their team that is starting to be publicized:
Even AI is getting the message. This is what comes up when you google “auburn basketball Christian”
Given that Ohio State just won the football championship after a year of historic revival on their team, this news about the #1 basketball team also being in revival is such a sign from God that this move of God amongst Gen Z is EXPLODING. How awesome would it be if Auburn won the championship next month??? Let’s be praying for them to get that platform so they can use it to promote Jesus!
Read more about their team here- No. 1 Auburn basketball bonded by ‘having a relationship with God’
I also absolutely love the fact that in the midst of this revival movement that is sweeping across college campuses, we are going to Ft. Lauderdale to minister to 20-30,000 college students during Spring Break. We leave in just under two weeks, and I recently found out that we will be joining a friend of a friend on Thursday the 20th for a huge worship outreach happening in the middle of the campus of Florida Atlantic University.
So exciting!!
Another cool example of what God is doing in Gen Z, is found in President Trump’s son Barron. I just recently started following him online and here’s just one example of something he shared recently:
It was also pretty cool to see his father- President Trump, make this decree yesterday for Ash Wednesday:
So cool to see what is happening throughout our nation!
It has also been a pretty amazing week here in the 941. Last Thursday, the Fire in Florida Meetings began, and they were not only a huge blessing, but a huge deposit into our region.
To have such strong leaders in evangelism, missions, unity and night and day worship come to our area and sow into us, was such a sign from God that He is smiling on the 941. And I love that the meeting was a throwback to the Tabernacle of David, in that it all took place inside a tent:

It was such a great time out on the mission fields too.
I heard that Friday at Bayfront Park was fruitful. Big props to Karson and the team for keeping that going!
Saturday at Riverwalk, there were lots of people there to hear the Word. Several children came up in the beginning to affirm their love for Jesus, and one woman from all the way across the park came to the gift table to pray to receive Jesus after the altar call. Many other people stopped for prayer too and many tracts were given out. It was such a great night! No pics though unfortunately!
Earlier on Saturday, we had a great service at Woodland Village, where I shared with them a message from James 1 about going through trials with joy. It was also so cool to see 3 flyers for Church services on the bulletin by the front door when I came in!
The person who recently took over as Activity Director is a believer who wants to promote these services to everyone. Such an answer to prayer!
On Sunday, the beach was PACKED! Spring Break is already in effect, and it was quite evident as soon as we got there. We had a very fruitful time and got to sow into thousands of people. Many took tracts and several received prayer too, including some that prayed to receive the Lord. One man was even crying in repentance as he was being prayed for.
Here’s one of the only pictures I got.
One other thing that was cool about that night, was that at one point, a woman came up to me after seeing something in the sky and she said, “you have to see this!”
There was no skywriting (not by a plane anyway) but yet the letters LOV were legible in the sky. We kept waiting for God to write the E, but He didn’t. Still pretty darn cool though!
Speaking of “love winks”, as I was getting ready to lead the prayer meeting on Tuesday at the House of Prayer, I opened my Bible to Acts 2 and I saw an oil stain in the shape of a heart:
I have no idea how it got there, but I took it as an I love you from Jesus. Given that it was on the page of Acts 2, maybe it is also a prophetic sign of a fresh outpouring that’s coming. Let’s believe!
On that note, my prayer set that day was focused on awakening across the entire state of Florida. On Monday, Florida celebrated its 180th birthday, and I felt like the Lord was inviting us into a greater level of faith and expectancy that the lost in Florida will make a 180 degree turn back to Him in this upcoming season.
But of course, that requires the people of God to step up and step into our assignment to be His witnesses, so BIG thank you to all those that did that this past weekend- Karson, Thom, Amber, Chuck, Debbie, Howie, Mike V, Gene, Mike M, Jack, Rachael, Tom, Julie, David and Laney. Great Kingdom work everyone!!!
We will be excited to see the Humphreys tonight, who have just gotten back from ministering at Bike Week in Daytona Beach. It is Coast to Coast with the Holy Ghost for Team Jesus!
See you soon!
Chris
