PRAYER REQUEST πππ
Tomorrow morning I am preaching for the chapel of Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas to around 1,000 college students! My topic is on personal revival and the Holy Spirit. I believe Christian schools like this are gold mines of potential for revival and mobilization! This campus has a rich history of revivalsβ¦Please cover me personally in prayer and pray that God would move powerfully on this campus! π₯ππππ
βIf you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!β Luke 11:13
So grateful for my time at @Ouachita speaking at chapel and spending time with leaders! Heard encouraging feedback from students on how God used the message and excited about what God is doing on this campus. President Dr. Sells has been praying for awakening and revival on campus told me that my message was timely! π€―π Spent lots of time with Dustin the Spiritual Life Director and his team Hannah and Holly who are doing a great job loving students and mobilizing them to make disciples and live on mission. Was great seeing how students have been empowered to disciple other students on campus! Also was able to pop over and say hi to Darell and Ethan at Henderson State BCM who is doing a great job making disciples at the rival campus just a few yards away! Keep praying for these campuses that God will continue to pour out His Spirit in ways that spill over into the surrounding communities, other campuses and the ends of the earth! πππ

CONSECRATION: Repentance, Surrender and Personal Revival πππ
It is often that last 10% of consecration that makes the difference between supernatural joy and power and constant stress and struggle. I am convinced that most followers of Christ live 80β90% committed to Christ. I know, because I lived that way for many years. Give yourself 100% to Jesus and watch Him flood your heart with supernatural joy! https://t.co/koqQWd9vWg
In this third article of the 4 part series on Experiencing The Spirit-Filled Life, I discuss the importance repentance, confession of sin and surrendering all to Christ.

My dear friend @_drewhumphrey_ and I just signed contract with @BHpub to write a book on prayer and personal revival! π€―ππ The vision for this book is that it will be both inspirational and highly practical to help encourage and strengthen the hunger for spiritual awakening among the next generation! The goal is for it to be a simple tool that can be used in a 21 days of fasting and prayer emphasis or something to help your whole church or ministry develop βprayer fluencyβ where prayer is not longer a second language but a natural part of everyday life. So honored to write this book with Drew as God has sovereignly intertwined our stories in many ways the last few years. Drew is also in the trenches as a key leader among one of the campuses I would confidently say is experiencing a genuine revival the last couple years. Please join us in prayer that the Holy Spirit will guide the entire writing process and protect us from the enemy who hates the goals of this book! Pray for wisdom, diligence and anointing to make this the best resource it can possibly be! πππ
βfor which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do.β 2 Timothy 1:11-12
Leadership in Godβs Kingdom comes with a high price tag of pressure, spiritual warfare and suffering. Itβs easy to see the highlight reels and envy the impact but forget about the cost.
Thomas Sowell said, "When you want to help someone, you'll tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you'll tell them what they want to hear."
REVIVAL GENERATION π₯π₯π₯πππ
Hard to put into the words all that God did this weekend at week 2 of Kansas / Nebraska Collegiate Conference! God was moving powerfully in students lives and answering many prayers. Students who these leaders have been sharing the gospel with and praying for years got saved and many others encountered the Lord in fresh ways. Itβs been an incredible 2 weeks speaking 12 times in multiple locations and God is on the move! Excited to be headed home to spend some time with my family. Join me in praising God and praying for students and college ministry leaders you are connected with. While God is moving the enemy is also seeking to distract, discourage and destroy. Pray that God will give leaders wisdom, zeal and diligence to make the most of this opportunity we have during this season of openness.
βWe must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.β John 9:4 @NAMBEvangelism @TimDowdy
From Wayne Grudem:
βSometimes the results of our ministry appear many years later:Β In 1982, when our oldest son Elliot was in 3rdΒ grade, Margaret began to think that we needed a Christian school in the north suburban Chicago area (there were none near us). As we talked, I agreed with her.
We began to talk with other parents and soon we formed a committee to address the possibility of founding a Christian school. After many presentations at many churches and in many homes, Christian Heritage Academy opened in 1984 in Northbrook, Illinois with 59 students in grades K-6. The school now has moved to nearby Northfield, Illinois, and has over 400 students in grades K-12.
I was the first president of the board, from 1982-1984. I think many of you who receive this prayer memo worked with us to get Christian Heritage Academy started.
Fast forward to about 2005. There was an 11-year-old boy in 5thΒ grade, and one day, after hearing a challenge from a teacher, he raised his hand to commit his life to Christ. This commitment set the direction of his whole life. The young boyβs name was Charlie Kirk.β

Today I am in Waco spending some time with leaders and speaking to Baylor BSM which leads an incredible ministry with around 700 freshman which is a training program with teaching and discipleship groups. If your wondering thatβs over 20% of the entire freshman class π€― I will be sharing a message called βYour Story, His Gloryβ which shares about Godβs heart for the nations and reaching the unreached as well as discerning Godβs call on your life in light of His big storyβ¦ ππ I will also get to lead a short training for the leaders on disciple-making. Two topics the enemy hates! π€ βοΈ Please pray for protection for everyone and for anointing on the entire day! I have a couple Zoom calls with collegiate leaders and meetings here as well. Pray that God stirs something deep in students heart to leverage their lives for Godβs mission! πππ @NAMBEvangelism @TimDowdy
SPIRITUAL MULTIPLICATION REALLY WORKS! πππ ππππππ
Was with Will Bowden a few years ago and spoke at this freshman ministry of Baylor BSM and I was thrilled to see this movement had almost doubled in size! This is an tangible case study of the combo of revival with an emphasis us on prayer paired with intentional discipleship and spiritual multiplication! After my talk on missions and Godβs heart for the nations, Will showed a couple examples of spiritual multiplication with students in the room last night! The crazy thing is that the ripple effect of this ministry has impacted thousands. Was great to see Abe who serves at Highland College Ministry and didnβt realize that he was part of this ministry and has 5 generation of disciples under him and just preached to 1,200 students and Highland College gathering Tuesday! π€―π
Was such a joy to see how Will was empowering the students to lead this 700+ ministry! They were the ones organizing everything and leading this ministry. It had a very student led vibe to it in a good way. This is the way!
Join me in praising God for what He is doing on this campus and keep praying for these students that they become lifetime laborers for the glory of God! πππ

This weekend and next weekend I am speaking at Fall Conference for Christian Challenge ministries across Kansas and Nebraska! They have had so much momentum they had to split up the event into two weekends. π€―π In between the two weekends, I will be visiting some campuses in Texas and speaking to different groups! Please pray for this event and that God blesses every aspect. The theme is Resound based on 1 Thessalonians 1:8 pulling themes from chapters 1-2 βFor the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place the news of your faith toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything.β Pray for m, for courage, clarity and supernatural wisdom and anointing. Pray that God moves powerfully and that He continues to bless these ministries during this exciting time of revival in our nation π₯π₯π₯ Thanks! πππ @NAMBEvangelism @TimDowdy
When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: βThat manβ¦ that young manβ¦ I forgive him.βΒ Β That moment deeply affected me. Β I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: β I forgive the man who killed my father.β
Peace be with you all.
The name of Jesus was certainly heard at Charlie Kirkβs memorial service today in Glendale, Arizona. Speaker after speaker lifted up Jesus Christ, and this included many of President @realDonaldTrumpβs cabinet. The Gospel was clearly shared for all who were listening. As I watched, I couldnβt help but say, βThank You Lord!β Vice President @JDVance said that the service wasnβt a funeralβit was a revival! Iβm so proud of @MrsErikaKirkβforgiving her husbandβs killer was a tough thing to do. It is my prayer that Charlieβs voice will be multiplied as thousands of young people step up to speak truth on our college campuses, including the eternal Truth of the Gospel. @TPUSA
