Evangelist says revival has hit South Africa

Evangelist Rodney Howard-Browne says a revival has broken out in his native South Africa that has seen more than 138,000 people make decisions for Christ in the last 46 days, reports Charisma News Online.

"In 30 years now of ministry, I've never seen anything like this in my life," said Howard-Browne, founder of Revival Ministries International and pastor of The River Church in Tampa, Fla. "It's not about a meeting and it's not about me; it's about the power of God. It's about Jesus. I'm just here with a message and people are grabbing a hold of it."

The nightly revival meetings held at a sister congregation in East London, South Africa, that is also known as The River Church are being broadcast in churches in 63 cities nationwide, as well as on the Internet and satellite TV through TBN Africa and CTV Africa.

Howard-Browne said since the services began June 21, they have reached viewers in more than 220 cities, where he says the sick are being healed in hospitals and people are being delivered of demonic oppression.

In each city, participants also have been mobilized to evangelize using a soul-winning script Howard-Browne's ministry developed for its Great Awakening Tour, which has reportedly seen more than 1 million people across the U.S. make decisions for Christ since February 2007.

But Howard-Browne, who became well-known in the 1990s for leading revival services where attendees often laughed uncontrollably, said the "awakening" in South Africa is unlike anything he has ever seen.
