Revival with Steve Bowman Refreshes Palmdale
Palmdale, California

The church in Palmdale, California is experiencing God’s grace in revival.
Due to zoning, our baby pioneer church had been shut down. We were planning to have them reopen here in the Antelope Valley. After our church had three Sundays in a row over 80 people, I said the pioneer couple’s days were limited and we would be sending them out again. The next day I got a call asking for a pastor to take the church in Santa Clarita. Matt and Esmeralda Sinkhorn have been there for a few months and are seeing new people come in.
My son Tim and I were able to preach in our former churches in Botswana and South Africa. It is great to see the indigenous principle at work as local pastors continue in the vision.
One of our Palmdale couples went with us to our church in Rwanda. Although half of the churches in the country have been closed, the Fellow-
Palmdale congregation during ship church keeps prospering by God’s grace. Please pray for continued favor there.
Our AV-Haunted House had incredible results. We based it on the “IT” movie that was popular at the time. Our simple website began to get so many hits both Google and Yelp began to promote it. We had 597 visitors and prayed with 211!
A lady who came around that time brought her teenage son who was an alcoholic gang-leader, selling drugs & facing jail time. He said he hated the church, but later got saved and delivered. He has been bringing friends and getting involved in ministry.
After July conference we had revival with Evangelist Steve Bowman. The building was packed with 100 people on Sunday night. The older saints said they had not seen that in 20 years. For the month we prayed with 50 new converts and 48 backsliders.
We are preparing for a tent crusade with Rich Cox and a follow-up revival with Rick Martinez. Brother Bowman gave us a word that the greatest revival is yet to come, with men and couples like never before. We are claiming God’s promises.
