While watching The Great Awakening on CTN last summer, I heard about the opportunity to apply for a scholarship at The River Bible Institute. I had a strong desire to apply because I knew God was calling me to full-time ministry. I love people and I always wanted to evangelize but I really didn’t know where to start.

I am so grateful that I received my scholarship and I started school on August 22, 2011. I have been blessed to begin my classes while The Great Awakening was broadcasting live every night Sunday through Friday. I have been stretched beyond my comfort zone in many ways and I have grown in the areas of the spirit, faith and knowledge of the Word of God.

At the beginning of the first semester, God did awesome changes in my heart through the many teachings on seedtime and harvest. I learned that everything we do is all about the condition of the heart. As I grew in this area of giving, my faith in God for my provision grew also. I have learned to trust him more than ever before to be my Jehovah Jireh.

The River Bible Institute has wonderful teachers and the Word of God has become more relevant, active and alive in my life. The combination of powerful teaching and preaching coupled with the hands-on ministry opportunities has speedily propelled my ability to win souls, pray for the sick, and minister to people effectively over the phone.

I am proud to be a student at The River Bible Institute, and I look forward to stepping up to the next level so I can learn how to win more souls for Christ.

All The Glory Goes To God.  Six months after my second marriage, my husband left the state. I didn’t know he’d been running from the law 9 years, an alcoholic for 15 years. Scared, I filled out “Do It Yourself” divorce papers; but before I filed,…in September, I got saved, filled with the Holy Ghost speaking in other tongues.(Acts 2:4)  LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!  One day desperately CRYING out with ALL my heart, “GOD” “I don’t want another divorce. Why, can’t YOU straighten out his life? YOU’RE the ONLY ONE that can….Did God answer my prayer?….HOW is the “?”…..Well, in November, we moved to join my husband.  One month later, on December 21st, driving, the police pulled us over; took my husband straight to jail, then Federal prison, facing 49 years, awaiting sentencing.  That left me and our 2 children destitute, no car, food, money or heat in freezing winter.  After 2 weeks GOD, through my mother, mailed me a book, “With Men This Is Impossible, but, With GOD All Things Are Possible.”(Matthew 19:26).  That grain of mustard seed, “God’s Word,” came alive in me.  “Faith” was sown into my heart, took root, began to grow and became a tree.(Matthew 13:31,32).  I put that SCRIPTURE up all over, in every room.  That night I prayed with our children, “From this moment on, We Thank JESUS, for delivering Daddy home.”  Daily, for 2 weeks I spoke out Matthew 19:26.  Daily, the devil whispered lies of doubt to my mind.  The attorney, said, “Look at this as BLACK as possible, your husband’s staying in prison.”  But the Holy Spirit, repeatedly, spoke Matthew 19:26 inside me.  Hebrews 11:1, says, “NOW, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.”  God had a purpose and plan for our lives; it was for good and not evil, to glorify Him. (Jeremiah 29:11).  After 4 weeks, on January 21st; miraculously, GOD delivered Daddy home!

The meetings definitely pumped you full of knowledge about the financial institutions and the banking systems of America and the corruption that is taking place.

When Pastor Rodney showed the videos of the mass crusades I was very touched.  I think mass crusades will take place in America as a result of the economic downturn in America and many will become hungry for God like never before.  The attendance for the meetings seemed very good and I think people are curious to find out what is happening in America.  Getting out of debt is another important key I got from these meetings and to protect yourself from the system.  Most importantly I learned to depend on God as my source!
