Revival is a return to God. Bear Creek Bethel Missionary Baptist Church invites the community to return to God in a soul-stirring, three-night revival, “Revive, Renew, Restore,” from July 15–17, designed to recharge hearts, reignite faith, and restore spiritual strength.
As the year reaches its halfway point and New Year’s resolutions begin to fade, Pastor Terrence D. Milton is calling on believers and seekers alike to reconnect with God and refocus on their purpose through powerful preaching and dynamic worship.
“Revivals remind us that God still breathes new life into dry places,” said Pastor Milton. “These three nights are about transformation, hope, and returning to the joy of our salvation.”
Each evening will feature a guest pastor and a distinct spiritual theme, grounded in Scripture:
- Tuesday, July 15 – Revive
Pastor Barry Young, Mt. Olive M.B. Church
Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1–6
“I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live.”
Night one will focus on spiritual resurrection, as the Word brings dry bones to life and stirs up faith in weary souls.
- Wednesday, July 16 – Renew
Pastor Julius Harris, New Jerusalem M.B. Church
Scripture: Isaiah 40:28–31
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”
This night centers on restoration of strength and stamina to press forward, even when life feels overwhelming.
- Thursday, July 17 – Restore
Pastor LaNorris McFadden, Shady Grove #1 P.B. Church
Scripture: Psalm 51:10–12
“Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”
The final night will focus on inner healing and divine joy—inviting God to do a work of restoration in every heart.Services begin nightly at 7 p.m. at Bear Creek Bethel M.B. Church, 3476 Old Federal Road, Quincy, FL. Attendees can expect uplifting music, spirit-filled praise, and transformative preaching.
Pastor Milton encourages everyone to attend all three nights for a complete spiritual reset: “This revival is not just about attending a service—it’s about letting God revive your soul, renew your strength, and restore your joy.”
The service is open to all. For more information, contact Sister Batina Slater at (850) 508-0785.
