Brownsville Revival Tears of Joy: An insider's story about the Brownsville Revival (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519227881)

Bob Perla is an Evangelist, Teacher, Author, and is one of the apostolic leaders of Liberty Network International. Bob is one of the most respected and sought after lecturers on Revival. In 1983 Bob had a powerful encounter with God that changed his life forever, causing him to fall deeply in love with God, launching him into an eternal commitment to share the gospel message of Jesus Christ to those who are lost. During a pastors conference in 1985, nationally known Jack Hayford, Chancellor of The Kings University, and who also served from 2004 to 2009 as President of The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, spoke this prophetic word over Bob. "I am stirring the gifts of restoration, and revival in you says, the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am going to use you to revive your people. You are to speak to the water I have deposited in you, and it will flow as a river of living water flowing through you as My open faucet." Then in 1995 God provided Bob with an opportunity of a lifetime, to be part of the Brownsville Revival Ministry Team in Pensacola, Florida. A Revival which helped spread revival fire to ministers, churches, and to over 4 million souls from around the world. Evangelist Steve Hill, of the Brownsville Father's Day Revival spoke this prophetic word over Bob in 1997. "Bob, God has anointed you with the oil of Revival and Restoration, go do what He has anointed and called you to do." Before the Brownsville Revival, Bob was so thirsty for a fresh outpouring of God's spirit in his life; he often said he felt like a fish out of water gasping for air. Remembering how God had used him in the past as a pastor, conference speaker, and street evangelist, Bob's thirst for a fresh touch from God burned within him, causing him to spend 5 hours each day in prayer seeking God's will for his life. Today God's anointing fire of revival is flowing through Bob across denominational lines, as he shares the gospel message, and provides spiritual guidance and to church leaders throughout New England and to those who hunger for a more intimate relationship with God. Bob is available for speaking engagements, conferences, workshops and group seminars. To arrange an engagement email Bob at bjperla@live.com
