An Invitation
Well, it's happening. The fire is burning in Detroit as so many have been expecting. After years of preparation, it's time to launch.
People are buying airplane tickets and loading up in cars from far away to travel to Detroit for the upcoming meetings at The Fireplace! People are so hungry for revival that they are paying a great price just to get here!
I'd like to invite YOU to dive into the burning presence of God with us as Brian Simmons is clearing his schedule to be with us starting this Friday.
He has actually cleared his calendar for 21 days in the expectation that revival will break out and the week long meetings will extend! He is leaving an event with Che Ahn, Jim Goll and others in Aruba early so he can follow the smell of revival to Detroit!
INTERCESSION
I'm looking for as many fiery people as I can find to join me one hour prior to every service to pray with passion and precision. This is a critical, foundational structure that must be exceptionally strong.
SCHEDULE
- Friday, March 4th at 7pm at First Assembly of God in Dearborn Heights www.dhfirstag.org
- Saturday, March 5th at 6pm at First Assembly of God in Dearborn Heights
- Sunday, March 6th at 6pm at Revival Church in St. Clair Shores www.detroitrevivalchurch.com (with Brian Simmons, Leonard Jones and Aaron Crider!)
- Monday, March 7th-Friday-March 11th at 7pm each night at First Assembly in Dearborn Heights

theLab Internship : Monthly revival events in Detroit
Check out the developing plan for facilitating the move toward revival in the Detroit region.
The last prophetic word I received before leaving IHOP and Kansas City for the new mission in Detroit came from a pastor and friend from World Revival Church—the ministry that hosted the Smithton Outpouring. The word was something like:
“John, you are a fire starter. You ignite the fires of revival when you minister, and now God is calling you to build a fireplace. He needs a place to host and facilitate that fire so it continues to burn hot, so it doesn’t die out.”
I often wondered how I was to do that. Then, Brian Simmons rocked me this past Saturday morning when he said, several times, that the Detroit region was to be a fireplace of God’s presence.
You see, my calling and focus in Detroit is very much regional as opposed to local. Revival Church is a regional prophetic center of revival. My heart is to see the fire of the Holy Spirit burn all over the greater Detroit Metro area.
Additionally, I have been feeling strongly the need for a monthly event, much like The Ramp in Alabama, in Detroit for quite some time. Now, that plan is starting to come to pass.
So, we are investing significantly into the regional revival strategy. Here’s some of what is coming:
- theLab prayer—We’re calling 1000 intercessors to gather with us each week as we pray in a different church somewhere in Detroit.
- theLab internship—We are raising up a team of revival minded, prayer fueled people who are interested in serving the coming outpouring. We are in pre-launch right now and are inviting those who want to join with us to show up at our next meeting (We meet at IHOPE every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from noon-1pm, ever Friday somewhere in Detroit from 10pm-midnight and at Revival Church Sundays at 6pm). We’ll have an info meeting in March, then we plan on launching in June. Contact me for more info at [email protected]. Also, visit www.revivallab.com.
- theLab sponsored/endorsed events—Pastor Joe Sazyc is giving leadership, along with several other pastors, to a new monthly gathering. The fire is simmering, and we will be stoking those flames once a month in a worship and teaching mini-conference once a month somewhere in Detroit. The Fire in February Conference started something that words cannot describe. I’m still trembling! Stay tuned… we’ll announce the schedule as we develop it.
I’d love to hear from you! What do you think? How would you like to participate?
I believe theLab internship will go a long way in covering the monthly events in intercession AND in serving the events practically. A well oiled machine, a unified team of revivalists will be working together each month to serve the mission of revival in Detroit!
Of course, there are other key movements under way as well including EACH, 24FLOOD, IHOPE and several others. We’re behind all of them and can’t wait to see how it all will come together!
This is very exciting! Contact me at [email protected] and share your thoughts!
