Revival Church Bulletin
We can’t wait to see you TONIGHT at Revival Church! I’ll be talking about THE PRESENCE CENTERED CHURCH!
John Burton’s Welcome Note
Hi!
Thank you for considering me for ministry in your church or at your conference or event. My heart is to see pastors strengthened and churches break into freedom and extreme life.
I look forward to connecting with you and developing a great relationship. You will discover that I’m easy and fun to work with, and your mission is extremely important to me.
I’ve written five books on topics including prayer, revival and fulfilling our destinies in life, and would love to teach on those subjects or others that God has burned into my heart.
Single events, conferences, workshops, leadership training and other ministry venues work great. I’m free to travel one full week and weekend each month, and any other day except Sunday evenings the remainder of the month. Revival Church meets Sunday evenings and it’s probably good that their pastor is in the building at least three out of four Sunday evenings!

Revelation to pass on wealth to our children’s children…
So we declare that when the righteous prosper, the city rejoices!
Important : Vision
I want to cast a regional vision for you, and I’d ask that you pray about how you can participate. If you could FORWARD this to everybody on your list, that would be an amazing help for us!! I’m available to travel and speak on this vision in churches too!
I’d deeply appreciate it if you read through this entire message. It’s exciting!
And, you may know people who have connections and/or resources. Do you have the desire and resources to help launch several churches in the Detroit area? Or, do you know somebody who does? The Revival Church vision is extreme, and it requires extreme plans and extreme participation. This is going to be fun!! People in Detroit will be transformed forever!! Yeah!
We’re looking for a central hub where we’d hold large conferences, have a 24/7 house of prayer, possibly setup a Dream Center style ministry, etc.
FIRST, check this out! Late last night I decided to email some people who have large properties available and boldly asked them to donate them to Revival Church. I was pleasantly surprised and encouraged by two of their responses. There are certainly properties out there waiting for us to find them!
This first one has a 78,000 square foot building for sale or lease (only $4990/month!):
Hello John,
My love for God and the desire to spread Christ’s message is great. Unfortunately, my family has $500,000 in debt related to the building that needs to be paid off.It it my desire to have our building used as a center for the spread of the Word. I just haven’t been able to see how to do it.
Having worked in Detroit for most of my life, I can tell you there are wonderful people here, and wonderful people who need to be revived.
I do believe our building would make a great new wine skin for the right organization. It’s a great location that is easy to get to and has thousands of people a day driving past. It has a good place to meet, reasonable offices and great parking (80 car fenced parking plus street parking). It even has a raised area in one room…great for leading a worship.
I just haven’t been able to figure out how to make the whole package work for the groups I’ve talked with. Maybe I (old wine skin) have not been flexible enough, have not opened my ears and stretched my mind. Differing from one of your talks, I don’t need common sense, but instead uncommon sense.
It might be good to see the building to know if it fits into what is God is reveling to you…or it might spark another revelation…maybe not including us but something much greater.
And this one is also very interesting:
John,
Thank you for your request. I unfortunately am not in a position to be able to make such a gift. The building most likely would not be suitable either. Wrong zoning and not enough parking would only be a few issues.
I wish you success in finding what you are looking for. Be persistent. Those arrangements are possible. In another line of work, I am currently working for a charity, reviewing the feasibility of the charity accepting the gift of a 100,000 square foot building for their operations.
Steve
There you have it. Will you partner with us? You can contact me directly at john@detroitrevivalchurch.com or 313.799.3473. You can donate online at www.detroitrevivalchurch.com/donate.
Thank you! I can’t wait to hear from you! And, BY ALL MEANS, forward this on to all of your friends!!! They may have the connection we’re looking for!!

Tonight : A Presence Centered Church
People often ask me what the main thing, the most important focus of my life is. 
I could easily consider many activities and purposes that are extremely important and invigorating.
For example prophecy is a huge part of my ministry. Dreaming and casting vision, building churches, training leaders, writing books and several other focuses are key.
However, by far, the most important, satisfying and impacting activity of my life is this—being with God.
Psalms 16:11 (NKJV) You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
That verse is true! In God’s manifest presence (which is much different than his omnipresence) joy is phenomenal!
I absolutely love finding a place to be alone with God, with coffee and my bible in my hands, worship music playing in the background and the manifest presence of God surrounding me! This is the life! In his presence is the fullness of joy!
Revival Church is a Presence Centered Church.
Every time we are together my heart is for every person in the building to encounter God and to discover the pleasure of knowing him!
Our mission statement is:
Making it easy for people to thoroughly enjoy God
Let’s all dive into the pool of refreshing together! Get ready for life-long oppression, fear, addiction, bitterness, rejection and other strongholds to suddenly dissipate in the presence of God!
See you TONIGHT at 5pm for prayer and at 6pm for the dive into the pool of refreshing!
Experience a release of favor TONIGHT at Revival Church
We are people of unusual favor—just as ‘in the days of Noah’ we are in perilous times AND in a season of divine favor.
TONIGHT at Revival Church we’ll be enjoying a release of the favor of God as I teach on this exciting topic.
Come hungry for deep, thrilling and satisfying relationship with Jesus!
In Exodus God miraculously protected his people in Goshen. When it was dark in Egypt, it was light in Goshen. The same story played out with Noah and his family. There was a terrible flood that took all human life, but there was also a Goshen, an ark where God protected those who walked with him.
Prayer and prophetic declaration begins at 5pm in the sanctuary and the service begins at 6pm. We’re located at 24036 Greater Mack in St. Clair Shores. We meet in the Fist United Methodist Church building.
HELP WANTED:
As a church plant we’re progressing very well! We have had requests to start airing our services live online. We would love to do this!
We need your help to make this happen. It won’t take too much, but we need 2-3 cameras, a video board and a portable sound system (wireless mics, cabling, amps, etc.).
I haven’t priced it out, but a ballpark estimate would be around $7000 for a simple setup.
Can you help us take the message of revival to the world? You can donate online at www.detroitrevivalchurch.com/donate.
Thanks!
Photos : Detroit report : Tonight at Revival Church
What a night we had at the monthly Ministry Staff meeting last night! WOW! (Did you know that YOU can join the Ministry Staff?! Contact us at info@detroitrevivalchurch.com for info!!)
AND I have to let you know that Amy and I lead the BEST CHURCH IN THE WORLD!! Our Ministry Staff surprised Amy and me with a 5-day trip to the “Growing River Churches” conference at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship next week!!! Ahhhhh!!!!! Thank you! We love you all!!!!
Last night was full of revelation and intercession—Joshua 3 is our chapter… and we know that we’ve never been this way before! A BRAND NEW apostolic move of God is upon us!! It’s time that we sanctify ourselves… for tomorrow wonders of God are coming!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I’m BURNING!!
TONIGHT at Revival Church (www.detroitrevivalchurch.com) is going to be FIERY! Get ready to EXPERIENCE GOD together with other burning men and women of God at Revival Church! Prophetic prayer starts at 5pm!
I’m still trembling even as I type this. God is BURNING in our midst!
God spoke very clearly when we launched Revival Church that we must find a ‘greater groan’ of the Holy Spirit so that “all things will work together for good…” (Rom 
Our revival team groaned and cried out with fire and depth last night as we contended for the next steps in a MASSIVE vision for revival in Detroit.
The words “mega” and “venues” have been deposited in my spirit… and are key for us as we continue to move toward the development of a multi-faceted revival command center for the region. We don’t have all the details, but our vision is quickly expanding. We want to see every geographic section of the Detroit area (for starters!) strategically impacted by teams of prophetic revivalists, intercessors and lovers of Jesus. (If you’d like to book me and our revival team in your church to cast the vision and impart some life and fire, contact me here: www.praytherevolution.com/booking.)
We’re contending for a 100-fold increase of key prophetic intercessors, which would mean well over 1000 people in Detroit who are tightly & continually connected and interceding in agreement with the blueprints of the Lord. They will contend night and day and prophetically release the plans and purposes of God in the city.
We want to see various venues—Revival Church directed ministries AND a network of other likeminded churches and ministries—set up as revival command centers all across the region. It’s important to have a lot of strategic cross-pollination between churches in Detroit. This is a city-church movement that will apostolically break and take new ground.
Here’s some pics from last night… if you are local, don’t miss Revival Church tonight! If not, you can still join our revival team!! Contact me for info: info@detroitrevivalchurch.com.
