Big tent revival services feature powerful worship experience­s

Thunder Outreach Ministries will host a Miracle Tent Revival Week from June 12-18 at Laurel Mountain Ministries Chapel, 27 Chapel Lane, Boyertown.

“We’re doing a good oldfashion­ed big tent revival,” said Chaplain Mark Malizzi of Thunder Outreach Ministries, a faith-based Christian community outreach event and organizer team that started out as an 11-person Bible study group.

Miracle Tent Revival Week is a full week of big tent revival services featuring powerful worship experience­s along with guest speaker Jennifer Martin, founder of Contagious Love Internatio­nal. Services will be held under a large tent each night starting at 7 p.m., plus water baptisms will be held in the crossshape­d pool. Attendees also have the opportunit­y to sit and pray at the feet of full size crosses on the mountain.

“The Hebrew word translated as ‘tabernacle’ means ‘tent.’ It was to be a place of meeting. God was making a way to be near his people,” explained Malizzi. “The people he had set free from oppression and bondage. The tent symbolizes the desire of God to be with us and stands as a place of freedom from all that separates from a loving God.”

A big part of the week of services is inclusivit­y and a call to action.

“What matters to me is: are we showing love to our neighbors, are we making our communitie­s better, is our faith actually enlighteni­ng and brightenin­g our communitie­s?” said Malizzi. “People talk a lot of talk but the Bible does say faith without works is dead. Your faith should inspire other people; it should never tear other people down… Faith, Hope and Love.”

The tent revival services are a chance for people to come together and hear an outside preacher, he said.

“Amazing things have happened,” said Malizzi. “The Bible says signs, miracles and wonders follow those who believe.”

“I have seen things that I cannot explain by human eyes,” he continued. “I will never try to tell you how God works. I will never promise you that I’m going to do a healing event. All we do is when we do a big tent revival we try to create an atmosphere of love and caring. We bring in inspiratio­nal speakers and hopefully somebody there will get touched in a way that they can maybe get rid of a burden they have been carrying.”

A highlight of the week will be guest speaker, Jennifer Martin, founder of Contagious Love Internatio­nal based in the Nashville, Tenn. A world-renown and highly sought minister and faith personalit­y, Martin also ministers through her widely watched program “Awaken The Heart.” As a traveling minister, she ministers in churches, conference­s, crusades, and the on streets.

Author of the “Awaken” book series, her book “Awaken The Dark Horse Prophet” remains a best seller.

“Jennifer also has an electrifyi­ng testimony of how Jesus saved her out of a lifestyle of drug addiction and is on the forefront of Contagious Love Internatio­nal, equipping the body of Christ to make radical disciples of Jesus Christ through her Awaken The Heart media program which is also branching into outreach and a series of Awaken books,” according to the Contagious Love Internatio­nal website, https:// www.contagious­loveintl. com/about-jennifer/

The musical lineup features Pat Amoroso of Spring City Fellowship Church on Sunday and Monday, Matt Romett of The Well Church of Souderton on Tuesday and Wednesday, Praise and Worship Team of Heart of God Family Worship Center on Thursday, and Heaven’s Thunder Band on Friday and Saturday.
