FireStarters Ministries is a ministries of support. We have been blessed to work with evangelist and pastors in both
Canada and the U.S. Serving in many areas such as altar ministries, preaching, street ministries, and storehouses
for the poor, along with other helps in the church.
During the summer of 2003 the Lord has placed us in the small town of Tulare, California where we have been the
witness of a mighty move of God. You will find a small church on the wrong side of the tracks surrounded by gangs,
drive by shootings, prostitutes, drugs, violence and poverty. Yet at Jubilee Christian Fellowship, a small simply
church, on the corner of “G” and Inyo Street, a Visitation is happening.
People come from around the world to sit in the awesome Presence of God. The prostitutes and gang bangers are
coming in off the street and turning their lives over to Jesus.
September 2002 Pastor Ken Bowman was given a vision from God telling him He was going to come to His church in
a mighty way and to prepare. Pastor Bowman told his congregation. The church was in poor physical condition so
the pastor began the work to improve the appearance. The walls are still bare, the floor covered with torn carpet,
the entry way still in construction. The church still needing much repair but God doesn’t always wait for our
timing. The altar was finished and God came.
How do you explain the move of a most Holy God? His ways are different then ours. We plan and we discuss – He
just does.
No Sermons just a simple prophetic word or scriptures read, no worship just a CD playing over and over and the
wondrous Presence of God moving through the church. There is no other way to explain other than it is a piece of
heaven invading earth, a sovereign move of God.
The people come night after night. They come in and sit down but then come to realize the service began when they
walked in the door as Holy Spirit moves over them. Some stand, some lay on the floor, some weep, some dance –
each one with their Lord. Each one met in a most personal way. Lives changed, bodies healed, a depth as never
before known is discovered.
The church is open for all at day break. Evening services start at 7 p.m. They come so cautiously with looks of great
hope. Could it be true? Is He really here? One gets up from his wheelchair and walks another sets his walker
aside finding he no longer needs it, another squeals with delight as she realizes she can hear. A small deaf boy
sitting on the platform begins to hear for the first time, a woman blind for two years is able to look upon her
grandchild for the first time as her sight becomes clearer each day, a drug addict crumples in tears at the touch of
God, a prostitutes cries out to God to help her so she doesn’t have to sell her body any longer. Too many to
mention. Over 400 salvations from people walking in off the streets. The hungry fed both physically and
spiritually. A homeless man comes for food and finds himself standing in the church with the glory of God around
him. Amazed as the power of God hits him. Amazed that these people accept him with open arms as the love of
Christ flows through them.
The compassion, Presence, and power that flow from heaven are wondrous. Peace consumes the people as they
enter stopping in amazement as they feel the tangible Presence of God.
The cost? When the Pastor told his congregation about the word from God they didn’t listen. When God came they
left. The church declined to seven. Why? They want it back the other way. Have we gotten so involved in
programs that we don’t have room for God. The fruit is great. Doesn’t our Lord tell us we will know them by their
fruit?
How many pastors would step back and hand it over to the one it is truly all about. After all, it is truly all about
Him the mighty one. Jesus Christ our Lord.
We give Glory to God for all He is doing in Tulare and are humbled that we are able to be a part of it.
