Marvelous Testimonies Manifesting as Heaven Comes to Texas Revival !
We have seen an unusual move of God here at New Life Church in Corpus Christi, Texas, says pastor Mike Fehlauer to Charisma Magazine.

We started out just planning on meeting four consecutive Wednesday nights in July, beginning July 11. It was obvious from the start that God was up to something. The first Wednesday, we had over 100 people respond to an altar call for repentance and salvation. The second Wednesday, another 100-plus people came forward.
Baptism
Due to the responses, we planned a baptism Wednesday, Aug. 8. That night, we had 10 baptisms. We then added three additional Wednesday nights. The following Wednesday, we didn't have any scheduled baptisms but saw 200 people respond—many actually running to the altar. We baptized 31 people that night! So far, more than 120 people have been baptized in the last two weeks. Last year, we only saw 238 baptisms all year.

The revival first started when senior pastor Mike Fehlauer developed a deep hunger to see more of God's presence as a response to the post-Christian society.
While the church normally holds a midweek service only the first Wednesday of each month, Fehlauer felt the Lord tell him that if we wanted more of God, we needed to give Him more, we needed to give Him the room to move. So we added each Wednesday night service to our calendar during the month of July.
It wasn't enough. We soon added Thursday and Friday night services.
Worship
Part of the revival involves Communion. We have several stations throughout the worship center and during worship people, on their own, are coming to the Communion tables and worshipping through Communion as a family, friends and so on.

Each service is livestreamed on Facebook. As a result, we're beginning to see other church leaders from our community come to the revival and tune in via livestream.
One of our members—completely unaware the staff has been praying for an awakening to take place—had an open vision of what we are now beginning to see.
Here's what Molly Shlumpberger shared:
Last night as I was falling asleep I was half-awake and half-asleep. I began to see the church, our church, and there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people at the door just waiting for the doors to be opened. It was not a Sunday service day. It was almost frightening, the behavior that people were displaying to just get in the door.

It was almost frightening, the behavior that people were displaying to just get in the door.
Like clinging and pressing through, so desperate to get in. The people looked like something you would see on The Walking Dead, and they were literally piling on top of one another, smashed up against the glass waiting to get in.
No one was angry or evil or mean. They just looked desperate for what was behind the door of the church: they just wanted in! Their clothes were torn and their skin was gray. I mean they looked just like a Walking Dead picture. Someone came up and had a ton of keys on a key chain and was fumbling around to open the doors.
I asked the Lord at that moment, "What am I seeing?"
And He said, "I'm coming, revival is coming."
At this point in my mind, I'm trying to figure out if I'm imagining this or if what I'm seeing is really real.
The revival proves it's real!
Thank the LORD for visions and dreams!
