Wow, what an awesome Sunday at The River Church of Tampa Bay. We had an incredible turn out as we hosted an outreach blessing every child with a toy for Christmas. What an honor it is to be involved in a church, where the presence of the Lord is. Weeks prior by faith as a church, we set the need before God, that every child that attends The River would receive a toy. Praise the Lord because once again He makes a way. It was incredible!! Multitudes of families showed-up. The love of God poured out and lives were changed. The power of prayer, WOW!! I literally watched as people walked up and I received the blessing of my prayers answered. Our pastors, Rodney and Adonica Howard-Brown are an amazing man and women of God. I am so thankful to be under their ministry, as I know that they serve after God’s heart, and teach people the word of God, with the power of God. The altars were full as the Holy Spirit was at work and people received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We have 8 charter buses and 4 vans that go thru out the Tampa community picking people up for Sunday morning services every week. What higher Praise for what God is doing in this city, than watching the bus attendance grow and the gospel being spread! Hallelujah! I also had the privilege of serving the Lord over in our kid’s ministry. We had 147 boys and girls give their lives to Jesus. It was intense, crazy fun watching these children go crazy for Jesus. Some of these children I may never see again, but I know that Jesus will forever be alive in them. Holy Spirit thank you for your continual work in these beautiful children, in the lives of their parents, in me, and in the River Church.
