Evangelist

Rick Bonfim will lead 4-day revival at Jones Chapel

United Methodist Church

Evangelist Rick Bonfin, with

ministries in both Brazil and the United States, will be

the featured speaker at Jones Chapel United Methodist

Church's revival scheduled for Sunday through Wednesday,

Aug. 29-Sept. 1 in Newnan. This will be Bonfin's second

appearance at Jones Chapel. He is a general evangelist

with the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist

Church.

Rick Bonfim

Ministries began 38 years ago when, at the age, of 15,

Bonfim was ordained in the Brazilian Methodist Church.

Ministries in Brazil include a seminary, a medical clinic

and a shelter for the hungry. The organization focuses on

revival of the Holy Spirit in both Brazil and the United

States.

"This

ministry's main purpose is to bring healing and wholeness

in Jesus Christ our Lord," Bonfim says.

Jones

Chapel's pastor, John Freeland, says he has seen this

healing in action. "I have seen people's backbones

moving back into place," Freeland says. "I have

seen arthritis miraculously and instantly healed during

Rev. Bonfim's revivals."

Several of

Jones Chapel's members also commented on last year's

services. "The Holy Spirit really works through

him," said member John Davis.

Member Ann

Hester adds, "When he gives an altar call, people

don't even stop to think. They just run right up there. I

can remember thinking that I was going to miss out on

something if I hesitated."

Two revival

services will be held Sunday, Aug. 29, one at 11 a.m. and

another at 7 p.m. Weekday services, Aug. 30 through Sept.

1, will begin at 7 p.m. A nursery will be provided.
