Branson, Missouri Church: An introduction to King’s Chapel, a Spirit-filled church in Branson, Missouri
Branson Church: As many of you are aware, my family and I recently moved to Branson, Missouri, which meant we would be praying for a new, passionate, Spirit-filled, prayer-driven Branson church to call home.
I found myself craving to dive into a new Branson church experience the moment I arrived on scene. I couldn’t imagine taking any time out, away from the church gathering, even though we’ve been in the crazy world of church leadership for so many years leading up to this! I wasn’t in the mood to church shop (which I really don’t believe in anyway), so I prayed, “God, let’s get this done. At least give us a place where we can visit that’s on fire—a church in Branson that is invested in revival, prayer and what God wants in this region. I don’t want to spend weeks trying to find that place. Amen!”
That was a Sunday afternoon. I searched the web and stumbled upon King’s Chapel Branson. I saw that they had Sunday evening services (which, sadly, are so rare today!). Then I noticed that their public gatherings didn’t begin until the next week. So, I emailed them and introduced myself and then took a nice, long nap on the couch. I woke up a few minutes before 6pm and checked my email. One of the leaders of King’s Chapel responded to my message and invited us to come to their final house meeting before moving to their new location. I shook myself awake and alert, grabbed Jet (my 8 year old) and cruised down to their house. We were about ten minutes late, but it didn’t matter—the moment I walked through the door of their home near downtown Branson I was enveloped by the presence of the Holy Spirit. I instantly knew I had walked into something special.
God answered my prayer, sent up just a few hours prior, and I was visiting a new Branson church plant that was burning for revival.
While we will certainly be connecting with a variety of Branson churches and ministries as we serve the mission of revival in the Branson, Missouri region, it was important that we would find a primary church home, a church family where we could connect, plant and grow. While we are just a few weeks into the process of prayerfully searching for that church, King’s Chapel in Branson has emerged as a wonderful surprise for us—as a place of refreshing and passion, of wind and fire—and we are excited about getting to know their team, vision and passions in deeper ways.
Just what has been evident thus far? They love Jesus. A lot. They value God’s presence. They are zealous for an outpouring in Branson, Missouri and the nations. They are a church on fire. They are real, raw, hungry and determined to see the people of this new Branson church impacted by the love and power of the Holy Spirit. They are legit.
A NEW BRANSON CHURCH PLANT
King’s Chapel is a new Branson church plant that just recently moved from their home into their first public gathering place, the Branson Community Center, at 201 Compton Dr. Branson, MO 65616. They meet Sunday at 10am and 6pm, and I encourage you to enjoy both services. It’s a powerful way to spend a Sunday!
There are also life groups, youth meetings, prayer meetings and other events throughout the week.
Pastors Chris and Melissa Davis are seasoned veterans in ministry, and it shows. They are humble, focused, excellent communicators and they hold nothing back when it comes to expressing their love for Jesus and for people. I am humbled by their gifts and determination to impact lives for Jesus. I believe they will have dramatic impact in Branson and it would do you well to meet them and their amazing team.
Additionally, my kids have thoroughly enjoyed the strong focus they have on youth and children’s ministry. Amy and I are so blessed that they have a place to discover more of Jesus with a band of other young zealots and emerging leaders!
The times of worship have been powerful, deep and radically anointed. Jesus moves powerfully among the people as their team leads us into his presence through abandoned worship. It’s not a show. It’s not about the presentation. It’s all about the church exalting our Majesty, King Jesus as one.

Weekly CoFI Group Teaching: Reformation Church Part 2
Watch the video: Reformation Churches Part 2—it’s time for the prophetic messengers to awaken the remnant!
FIRST: Don’t miss the last two CoFI Break messages, “Advancing in Your Ministry” and “My Three Motivations.” They are both powerful teachings that will help you stay on fire and advance in your calling every day! Use the series browser on the media player HERE.
REFORMATION CHURCHES PART 2
Revival requires a movement of reformers who will pray with passion and advance as forerunners in the cities of the Earth.
God is awakening prophetic voices to sound the alarm and call people into a supernatural life as we contend for reformation in the church.

COVENS IN THE CHURCH/PHARAOH IN THE CHURCH BUNDLE
Brand new! Order and immediately download this three piece bundle which includes both books AND the full length audio teaching!
Go to www.thefurnace.tv/shop today!
BOOK ONE: Covens in the Churchby John Burton
A nest of demons has gathered to violently assault the church worldwide-all with the church’s agreement.
Join in on a discussion on the issues of unity, authority and mission advance.
As we lock arms in intentional agreement, and refuse to move out of position because of offense or hurt, the church will fulfill its mission of Kingdom advance.
BOOK TWO: Pharaoh in the Church by John Burton
This book is a burning message, an Exodus call that originated in at least a small way like the original Exodus call in a burning bush. Moses experienced the zeal of the deliverer to see His people free to encounter Him. The goal of this book is for you to discover the pounding heart of God in a way that, I believe, will result in a deep and resounding cry of agreement to embrace a radical revolution in the church.
CoFI Break Video: A God of Our Own Design
Watch today’s video where I deal with the homosexual movement, abortion and why the church has limited impact dealing with those issues.
Why doesn’t the church have authority against the emerging homosexual movement and the abortion movement? It has to do with how the church has been compromised by a focus on self, false human rights, our desires, greed and other selfish focuses.
Watch as I teach about the anointing that Bezalel received to launch the prayer movement, and that was used to fashion a god that gave them the pleasures that they demanded.
WATCH THIS VIDEO AND DOWNLOAD THE NOTES HERE.
CoFI Break Video: Is worship music an idol?
Based on my recent Charisma Magazine article, this message deals with the trend to run to worship events and away from prayer events.
People run to powerful worship music events and tend to run from prayer events. Is it possible that the music has become an idol? Can those who are living sinful, compromised lives blend in without any difficulty in a worship music driven church culture? Yes. But, develop a culture of prayer and the unrepentant will flee.

CoFI Break Video: Order in the Service
We should burn hot, prepare well and be deeply in prayer…before we go to church!
Should we all come ready to minister? Do we all bring a message, a prophecy, a tongue? Yes. But, while we come full and ready to pour out we have to understand biblical protocol. It’s not about us, it’s about the strengthening the church.
Also, your faithful donations are what will keep this ministry strong and able to impact the nations with messages of revival. You can give at www.thefurnace.tv/donate.

CoFI Media Update
The contractors are working hard…and our broadcasts will be delayed just a little bit.
First, I know, I know…you all are waiting for this year’s April Fool’s joke. Sorry to disappoint, but I think I’ll take a break this year (really…seriously…for sure)!
The target date for our new daily and weekly Carriers of Fire International broadcasts was April 1st, 2015.
Well, the work on our studio and other parts of the basement where my studio is is taking longer than expected. My goal is to start sometime next week.
Also, we are more than excited (I mean, we are BESIDE OURSELVES!) to report that our equipment will be upgraded radically thanks to a very special donation from a true partner of revival. That upgrade will take place soon, but, fear not, the broadcasts will take place during that process!
The new equipment will enable us to truly have a professional video studio to broadcast timely messages of prayer, revival and reformation to the nations!
So, here’s the details of what will be initiating over the next couple of weeks:
- CoFI Group Teaching: Every Saturday I’ll upload a new HD, full length teaching for use personally or in a small group. Open in prayer, watch the video and then discuss it together!
- CoFI Breaks: Most every day I’ll upload a short 5-10 minute message to keep you alert, encouraged and equipped.

Watch my first broadcast from our new Branson studio
Check out our first broadcast in our BRAND NEW STUDIO in Branson, Missouri!
First, I want to encourage you to listen to a powerful teaching that I brought during an interview HERE. I talk about terrorism, false salvation and the end times.
Now, check out our VERY FIRST BROADCAST from our new studio in Branson, Missouri!
I give some introductory info and then share a short, off the cuff teaching on the pressure people put on church leadership to build large kingdoms instead of fulfilling their mission.
Soon, I’ll have all of our videos in a central location at thefurnace.tv, but for now you can watch directly on Vimeo HERE.
We are working out some minor kinks, including the audio, but our initial video didn’t turn out too bad at all!

A powerful Detroit prayer strategy
Join a movement of prayer in Detroit
Many of you are already aware of our ministry of prayer that has been advancing in Detroit over the last six years, but I wanted to send an important update to you.
If you are in the Detroit region, definitely lock in and pray. You will make a difference that will impact the region and eternity!
From Amy Smith:
As most of you know, John and Amy Burton have moved out of Detroit and on to Branson, MO where Apostle John is getting ready to launch into the next level of developing Carriers of Fire International through media, writing and traveling. We're so excited about what God will be bringing from Branson!
Meanwhile, here in Detroit, we are forging ahead as we transition from Revival Church to theFurnace CoFI group. The vision is not decreasing but, indeed, increasing! I am trying to keep up the pace as God keeps sharing more and more of the vision and bringing pieces together.
One thing we are sure of and that is that God is calling us as City Church Intercessors to pray for the restoration of God's government in the church in our region and beyond. We have a burning passion for the body of Christ to see us grow and mature “until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
We hope you'll join us as we gather and pray together to see God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Here are a couple highlights we're looking forward to:
We will be joining forces with Shekinah at JHOP in Dearborn every 2nd Friday of the month! It's going to be a great time and POWERFUL!
We are also in the very beginning stages of developing a regional flag team that will carry out strategic prayer assignments throughout the region.
