Then I managed to go to bed but even still I was laughing, my son immediately woke up and came to me and asks mum do you have joy? I said yes. He asked do you know you have been praying for this joy for so long ? I said yes. He got up took anointing oil pour it on my head and said Lord I pray this joy they you have given my mum will never leave her again in Jesus name. I finally went to sleep laughing and the next day I felt like hocking everybody and telling them how much I love them and how good the Lord is. It is only when I got to bible school that I understood what happen. The anointing is transferable. Remember i never touched my landlady she just looked at me and caught the joy. My whole life has never been the same since that day and it is what gave me the strength to go through my first year of RBI.
The RBI Revival for this year was also touching to me because the lord dealt with me internally. He took out so many things in my life and expanded me in my inside which I cannot explain all. I am so Thankful to Pastor Rodney and Adonica Haword Browne to have seen beyond the natural eyes of man and granted me a scholarship that has not only added a meaning to my life but has change my whole destiny for eternity…..Valentina A.

I am so grateful to be a witness for Jesus. I was so stirred in my heart that I knew I had to help empower others to be a witness for Jesus too. I realized that God has such a big plan and that I am only one piece of the picture. These meetings have kept me from being ashamed of Jesus. I have learned that a tool as simple as a phone call can make an eternal difference to the person that answers the other line. Some people look down on phone ministry when it truly is a privilege.
As I would pray with others on the phone I could feel the Lord ministering to me at the same time. The bible is clear on the great commission as well as clear on being there for those that are in need. When little children begin answering phones to pray with people you know that there has been a move of God. We must allow God to use every member no matter how small, no matter how it appears in the physical. There are those that might say God can’t use me because I use a wheel chair, or I have some physical restriction.
If God used a jackass he can use me. The leper that came back to thank Jesus for being healed was made whole. If we are thankful for our salvation then winning people to Jesus in gratitude should be a given. I am so excited to be a part of such a grand commission. May God bless every single soul winner that confesses Jesus before men. -Bianca P

Amazing what God is doing here in the River Bible church at Tampa bay. I just come West Africa, a country called republic of Benin to Go to the River bible institute. But what I’m seeing here is extraordinary. My expectations are far away from what it’s happening on this land of faith. This school is laying in the life of Christians the true foundation of Christ.
Just ten days I’ve been here, I never see in my life such a massive evangelization in the whole world. I thank God for what he is doing in Pastor Rodney and Adonica Howard-Brown .May God bless them and all those who are working with them in this anointed ministry in Jesus name. Amen-Anonymous
The Lord is so good, I can’t imagine life without Him! Seriously, I don’t see how people go about their ordinary lives without knowing the Lord, personally, and relying on Him for everything they have and are…
Just sitting in the services is great, and it’s not until you’re out that you begin to realize that “something” is changing about you. Somehow, the Lord is closer… I might say that it’s strange, but it’s not, it really is the most awesome thing I’ve ever experienced!
No matter, what is going on in “life”, somehow the presence of Jesus makes things easier to bear. You begin to walk with a purpose, and begin to understand that the greatest thing in life is that “some people will be in heaven because of me!” This purpose, and this drive begins to take the focus off of yourself, and onto Jesus and what He has planned for your life. And then things get, “more clear”. You begin to realize that you’ve spent most of your life trying to find “something”, or “someone”.
You’ve tried money, relationships, degrees, job status, everything, but you’ve always been left with the feeling of, “is that really all there is?”As you stay in the meetings and the voice of the Lord begins to get more clear to you, you can begin to see the simplicity of life in, “Loving the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and Loving your brother as yourself!”Jesus is just so good! -Jerry B.

On December 13, 2009 there was a Spanish outreach that changed people lives. Many people stepped up to the plate and volunteered. It was so awesome to see the body of Christ come together as one to be a blessing to our community. Many children left with a smile on their face and many families left with assurance that they will have food for the week. It is such an honor and privilege to be part of this ministry and that day I was able to see every single department how everything flowed. I am Dominican so I was able to communicate with the visitors and children. As I did the follow-up calls the next day I realized that many people were filled with joy and wants to come back to the church. Now you may think they want to come back because of the toys and food but in actual reality they said it was because they loved the people here and enjoyed the service very much. The altar call was full of first time visitors being touched for the first time and filled with the Holy Spirit. It is such an honor to be part of this ministry and to know that every single person that help make this happen will be rewarded some day. This is what it’s all about, winning souls and making a difference in people lives. This event not only changed people lives around me but it also impacted my life to know how blessed I am to bless others and their family is the best thing in the world I wouldn’t trade it for anything. This outreach was one of the best I have seen yet and I know there will be many more to come I am excited to see what God will do in the future.
What did Camp meeting mean to me? | Ruth Neff Testimony
Posted by: | CommentsWorship Soundtracks from RMIRiverSong on Vimeo.
Camp meeting was very eye- opening for me. It brought me to realize where I was at in my life and showed me it was dangerous if I stayed where I was at in my walk with God. I had underestimated that over a short period of time I could become stale in my relationship with God. I had allowed something in my life to stop me from pressing on toward the goal God had for me to reach. While sitting in camp meeting, God brought me to a place where I was uncomfortable with life in “status quo”. I was challenged not to settle for the way things have been or way they “look in the natural”; and regardless whether or not it is “good enough”.
On Thursday night, the fire of God fell as I had never seen before. The air was charged with electricity. I feel God used the week from the beginning to show me things that needed to be dealt with, that I had been pushing aside because I didn’t want to face them. However, at that point a fresh hunger began to grow in me. A desperation to act on my faith, and trust God to help me overcome the battle that I face and not give up.
My walk with God can’t go anywhere if it’s stagnating. I don’t ever want hungering for God to be my hobby, it’s who I am. Pressing on towards the things that God has for me is what my life is all about. To take the life-changing Word and Presence of God to a lost and dying is what makes life worth living. Whatever challenges come my way, I don’t want to ever give the devil access to my life by the choice not to allow God to change me.
Let my heart be open before Him, and may I hold nothing back, so that He can use me to touch others. If I’m not making a difference, then why am I breathing?ssss
Winter Camp Meeting | Karen Abraham Testimony
Posted by: | CommentsWorship Soundtracks from RMIRiverSong on Vimeo.
This past winter camp meeting has truly been a life-changing experience for myself, and many others. I pressed in and relied completely on the Holy Spirit to keep me energized everyday to accomplish all that He set me out to do. I was at the church early for Hospitality Ministry, worked book tables, sang for worship, and was able to participate in the worship experience of the evening services also. Though physically I was tired, the Lord sustained me. His strength was made perfect where I was weak. After the evening meetings, I would go home and just rest in His presence, praying in the Holy Ghost and singing songs to the Lord. The presence of God was so strong in the meetings, that when I would sing on the platform, the anointing caused me to almost fall several times and drop the mic. It really touched my heart to hear the story of Pastor Rodney and Adonica’s life and experience in the ministry and how they started out and the history of what God has done through them. I am so grateful to be connected to such a great ministry and I continuously pray that the same anointing and burden for souls is handed down to myself and the students and the congregation. And that we lock in and hook up to the vision of God in His kingdom and come together just worshipping and shaking nations, as we prepare for eternity. Working in the call center has shown me how privileged we are to be students and to be able to come here for meetings and services. Others around the world long to come to a church where they feel the presence of God, and for that we are so blessed. The power of God is so real and I saw it through the diving healings, and manifestations and favor of God during this Camp Meeting. I sowed in faith the entire week and I constantly reaped from the Lord. It gave me a bolder spirit of expectation. And I thank God for the truth of His Word. Overall, this Camp Meeting taught me more than anything, to stay connected to the presence of God, that it is something I never want to lose or take for granted, and that it will sustain me even in my times of weakness.

This past Sunday I went to a healing service by Rodney Howard-Browne. His sermon was about how the United States, because of its corruption, is not ready for the judgment to come. During his whole sermon people were laughing uncontrollably with no cares about the people around them (they were filled with the holy spirit). After the sermon he laid hands on all of the people in the audience. The audience lined up in rows so he could literally just touch them with the fire of God. He did this for maybe a half- hour till he got to me, and when he did touch me I heard a quick descending tone (like a whole musical octave). I also, for a brief second, smelled and felt a flame being lit (representing my own fire as far as I know). Then I felt “drunk.” I began to laugh, not uncontrollably, but just because of what had just happened to me. Later I went up again because I wanted to experience that feeling again. This time I fell completely to the ground and again felt “drunk.†These experiences proved to me that he does exist and it made me wonder, how will he look upon me if all I have done is play video games and not read his book? So I broke my games and will sell my Xbox.

First of all, I want to thank my Lord and Savior for rescuing me from the pit and making my life alive again in Him. I also want to thank the Howard Browne family for answering the call of God to come to America. I live one drop away form drunk everyday and my relationship with God has been radically changed forever. I am the church drunk , the town drunk and the household drunk at my home. When we first came to the meetings in Victory Fellowship in New Orleans, it took quite a long time for us to learn to receive but it was a lesson well learned. He is soooo good. I tell ya bro. rodney I love to wake up every day with a praise for my King and give the devil a fresh haert attack and fresh stroke . His presence has brought such an ease in my life and has enabled me to do what He had called me to do! All my friends who learned to drink have forgotton how and think I am a little loony but I don’t care. I have tasted the new wine of heaven and I ain’t backing up, I ain’t backin out and I ain’t apologizing for it. I am going on with God and come hail high water hurricane or hair lip , I am gonna take this country for my King. Thanks for making services available online. I enjoy getting to worship with y’all. God bless y’all and let the river flow!!!!! Obey Your Thirst!!!

God is good. 52 salvations (in 3 days)but most of all the joy was ministering to a 25 yrs old man who lost his mom at the age of 7, after praying with him, he cried and thanked me. I have never experienced God’s glory like these past days. 90 % of salvations were young people who never attended church and hungry for God’s words. After speaking with a resident in the nursing home he told me he is an ordain minister. I was able by the help of the Lord to win 17 souls. I started walking up to a young man about 20 and read the first part of the script. He was looking at me like I was crazy and I started to not persue but then for some reason I just ignored the rejected look and keep going on with the script, when I got to the pray his facial expression had changed and was receiving what I said. He prayed with me the sinners prayer. Then I asked him afterwards that I noticed he thought I was wierd coming up and talking to him about Jesus. But he told me that it wasn’t that. It was he didn’t think it would happen in the area that he was in. It was a low income section.

We followed a bus dropping off kids from the school and I ran over to the bus and asked the driver if I could pray blessing over them. And they all came to the front and peaked their heads over the seat and 5 gave their heart to the Lord. I really enjoyed the nursing home outreach in West Palm Beach. The gentlemen who accepted Jesus named Barney was very excited receptive to God’s Word for salvation. I asked him if I could give him a hug and He really lit up! Led 21 people to the Lord more in 2 days than I have my whole Christian walk. We have an awesome tool in the script we use. Young guys accepted Christ. Lady-not sure- 4 kids -were not sure either- kids “we want to go”, “we want to go”
