HOWARD-BROWNE PROMOTES
A LENDING LIBRARY

A 16-page full-color insert in the January 1996 issue of Charisma magazine promotes the ministry of “Dr.” Rodney M. Howard-Browne. The full-page supplement promotes the “laughing evangelist’s” books and tapes, his upcoming winter and summer Campmeetings, and his “School of the Spirit,” a five-week session of “intensive training.”

Under product listings, he promotes his “Video Lending Library,” the inspiration for which, he says, came from God.

“Early in 1995 the Lord spoke to me and instructed me to put together the Revival Ministries International ‘Video Lending Library,’” Howard-Browne says in the ad. The “Library” is a set of 50 videotapes from his various Campmeetings and revivals “that have not been released to the public at large.”

Howard-Browne has set a goal to place 100 libraries in every country of the world. How effective will his tapes be in non-English speaking countries? Howard-Browne says he has received “many first-hand reports of the Revival breaking out among groups of people who were watching an English version of the videos who did not understand a single word that was being spoken.” As a result, he says, “The anointing knows no language barriers.”

Howard-Browne is soliciting financial help for his project. A $350 gift will put a copy of his tapes in a foreign country of the donor’s choice, or Howard-Browne’s if the donor has no preference. Stateside, The Video Lending Library is available for $1,000.00 per set, the advertisement states.
