The Ablaze Revolution is Dynamite!


Some of The Ablaze Revolution's most faithful supporters recently posed with a winner of a Napolean Dynamite look-a-like contest. This is fitting considering the extended Ablaze Revolution crew is pumped up at the explosion of our new website. To better handle the growth of the international, web-based ministry, the Ablaze Revolution website has now tripled in size. Now that's Dynamite! While some may vote for Pedro, we'll Vote for Jesus! Smile, God loves you!

Ablaze Revolution Fans Around the World


Ablaze Revolution fans now have the opportunity of purchasing T-shirts online. People far away from the DFW metroplex, such as Bob Kerr of Modesto California, are proudly sporting their favorite Ablaze U Spirit T-Shirts. Get one while they're hot!

Congratulations to Hall of Famer, Rayfield Wright

The Ablaze Revolution crew extends a warm congratulations to former Dallas Cowboy great Rayfield Wright for being selected for enshrinement into the pro football hall of fame. Both Pastor Patrick and Peter had the opportunity of meeting Mr. Wright at a golf tournament last year benefitting the excellent work Lutheran Social Services of the South does with the children of the Nelson Center in Denton, TX. Mr. Wright was the honorary chairman of the event. Suffice it to say, he's an eloquent and engaging speaker who, perhaps most importantly, is a tremendous man of God. Not surprisingly, in Sunday's edition the Fort Worth Star Telegram quoted Wright as saying, "Thank God. I am totally honored to be standing here at this time." We thank God that we're working on the same team with Rayfield Wright. NOTE: Pastor Patrick did a special Soul Thirst Devotion in Praise of our Lord, focusing on the children at the Nelson Center, and highlighting Mr. Wright's selection; undoubtedly in the order of which Rayfield would approve.

New Year's Revolution


The Ablaze Revolution is very pleased to announce that Dr. Mark Odell has accepted a senior faculty position with The Ablaze University. Described by some as an intellectual giant for Jesus Christ, Dr. Odell is an internationally known speaker and author. Currently the founder and director of Glacier Haven, a counseling & consulting retreat center in Montana, Dr. Odell was a renowned academic before the Lord called him to his current venture. In the past, Dr. Odell was a tenured, senior faculty member in the behavioral sciences at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas as well as an award winning assistant professor at Bowling Green State University. Students of the Ablaze University will quickly grow to love Dr. Odell's provocative, insightful, and often times humorous writing style that will no doubt help Let Christ Make Sense to the ends of the earth.

Igniting the Globe for Jesus Christ

Through The Ablaze Revolution, the powerful, life saving message of Jesus Christ has now been heard in most of the 50 states and across the world in places like the commonwealth of Jamaica, Portugal, The Netherlands, and Japan. Thanks be to God! Please help us spread the word so HIS Word can spread. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Our exciting journey continues!

Soul Thirst Audio Devotions Ablaze

Began just seven weeks ago with an e-mail to 40 people, Soul Thirst has grown so rapidly by word of mouth that approximately 500 people received today's audio devotion. What if it were possible to have 1,000 subscribers by the end of the year? With us alone, it's impossible; but with God, all things are possible. As each e-mail reads, "The Glory of God is man fully alive in Christ." Of course, it's impossible for us to be fully alive in Christ if we're not regularly being fed by The Word. Rather than JUST telling people to read the Bible regularly, Pastor Patrick Miller began Soul Thirst to actually connect people to God's Word in a brief, 3-4 minute, daily (Monday through Friday) devotion. As God's Word is applied to our life today, Christians are gaining confidence in their abilities to share the Good News of Jesus with people who do not yet know Him. Through this systemic vision, more and more thirsty souls across the globe are being simultaneously quenched through God's Word and set ablaze with the power of Jesus Christ. (To get a free subscription to Soul Thirst, just send your request via e-mail to crew@ablazerevolution.com).
