5 Reasons you need to Book Travis Worthington

I would like to encourage every Pastor in the entire world to take action and email jtrworthignton@aol.com or call him at 727-244-1066 and book him for a week or month long revival. There is not a single young evangelist in the world any better or more effective than Travis & Amber Worthington. They are a couple of character and possess a passion for revival unlike any other. Travis is 24 years old and much wiser beyond his years. I have trained him for 7 years and he is beyond ready to turn the world upside down with Revival and Soul Winning. He has impeccable character, ethics, and attitude and will work hard while at your church. I am going to share 7 reasons why you need to book him now and not wait.

1. Youth

As you well know, youth are the life of any church. A church must have a strong, exciting and committed youth group. Travis spent a year with me taking the youth group in Gainesville, Florida from 40 to 100. He also spent 5 years in St. Petersburg, Florida helping take a youth group from 3 teenagers to over 88. He understands student ministry and knows how to connect, motivate and elevate youth to prayer and evangelism. He will pray with your young people, train your youth staff and take your kids to the streets. He took a youth group to the streets in Knoxville, Tennessee and got 45 Bible Studies within one hour.

2. Soul Winning

Travis and Amber are both proven Soul Winners. He has won literally 100’s of souls and has discipled them into becoming prayer warriors and Soul Winners themselves. Not only will Travis win souls while in revival with you but he will also impart Soul Winning Passion to every saint in your church. He understands Soul Winning and is fully capable of training people for Bus Ministry, Compassion Evangelism, Personal Soul Winning, Home Bible Studies and Radical Soul Winning.

3. Organization and Structure

Travis spent 5 years helping organize, plan and coordinate 29 Soul Winners Boot Camps. He does more than just preach and even more than win souls. Travis could help structure Outreach in your church, organize your departments, and build your youth ministry and leave you with a trained youth staff to carry on.

4. Demand

You need to book him now before word spreads across America that he is available. There will come a day when you will not even be able to get him unless you book a year in advance. The young man is going to take America by storm and is already starting to become in high demand. If I were a Pastor, I would book him for one month and have him come in to preach, train, organize, work with the youth, coach the youth staff and follow up on your guests.

5. Covering

Travis is being mentored by myself, David Smith and is under the Covering and Leadership of Jack Cunningham. Travis is licensed with the Virginia District and is currently basing out of Chesapeake, Virginia. He and his wife are both submitted to a strong covering and have very teachable attitudes. If you need recommendations, please email Jack Cunningham at bwcsrpastor@aol.com and David Smith at crcnofear@aol.com.

If you are serious about reaching your city, building a Soul Winning Church and having a Strong Youth Group, then I highly recommend you email or call Travis immediately and book him for a week or month long revival. Thank you and May God bless you as you continue to move forward with passion and determination.

"The Sunday of a Young Preacher's Dream"

Could you imagine being a basketball player and getting to play basketball with Michael Jordan? Or imagine having a passion for golf and having the opportunity to play with Tiger Woods! Imagine how you would feel if you were a businessman and could have lunch with Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. You could only imagine the honor, excitement and life changing experience it would be for you. You just got a call from the President of the United States or your hero, and they invited you to join them for lunch. Wow! That is exactly how I felt when my Pastor, mentor, coach and father like figure, Jack Cunningham, called me and said, "Matt I want you to come preach for me!" It's always a humbling experience for me to be able to minister for my Pastor and mentors. I can't even describe the feeling of appreciation that floods my soul. It's hard to fall asleep at night when you think that you'll be preaching for your coach and Pastor in the morning. However, because Jack Cunningham has always been my number one encourager and believed in me when I was a "nobody" and just a young struggling preacher, it was easy for me to step into his pulpit Sunday and minister the word of the Lord.

Pastor Cunningham's imprint on my life and ministry is the very cause of my "success" as a preacher. I'd never be what I am today without his leadership, mentorship, belief in me, and the time that he invested in my ministry. I'll forever thank God for the day that I submitted my ministry into the hands of Jack Cunningham; it was the wisest and safest decision of my life. I believe that God has given me a special anointing on my life, ministry and Soul Winners Boot Camp because of my honor, submission and obedience to my Pastor. If you are reading this, and you are a young minister, please take my words to heart, and find yourself a man that you can trust, and make him your Pastor. Then, make sure that you listen to every single word, serve him and always show double honor to him. Your ministry will sky rocket the moment that you submit to Apostolic Authority!

I'd actually like to write a book about my Pastor and share with the world what kind of man we've all been gifted with. He is the wisest and most Apostolic leader among us. I'm so blessed and thankful to be under his covering and leadership. We had a day of miracles yesterday, and God blessed with an outpouring of His Spirit and Blessing! God gloriously filled 32 people with the Holy Ghost, and we baptized 12 in the name of Jesus Christ. God used me to speak to Bible World Church on Sunday night, "The Fruit of a Soul Winner!" You could literally feel the gift of faith rise in the atmosphere, and there was a fresh anointing of Soul Winning that was baptized upon Bible World Church. I'm so excited about going back in October and November. God has blessed that church, and I'm thrilled to play a small role in the next level of Bible World Revival.

Coming Up - I'm going to be with my mentor, Anthony Mangun, and the Pentecostals of Alexandria, September 9-13th for a Soul Winning Revival. You can watch live on the Web at thepentecostals.org; I'll be preaching on Soul Winning on Wednesday and Sunday night. I'm anxious to be with the Manguns and that great church. Thank you for your prayers, friendship and support.

Matt's Remaining Schedule for 2009

Revival at Turn Point - Columbus, Ohio

Saturday night, my flight arrived in Columbus, Ohio, for a Sunday of Holy Ghost Revival with Pastor Joe Arata and Turn Point Church! It is such an honor to be considered a God called Evangelist to the Turn Point church that has experienced unprecedented Revival. On Sunday morning, I preached, “What to do after you Receive Jesus”, and God filled 7 sweet people with the Holy Ghost, and we baptized 3 in the name of Jesus Christ. Sunday night, I preached, “Extreme Evangelism”, and God filled 2 more with the Holy Ghost.

The Turn Point Church is by far one of the top 5 churches that I’ve ever been to in my entire ministry. What a blessed church! I strongly urge pastors or leaders to visit Turn Point in Columbus, Ohio, to experience what God is doing in the city of Columbus. It’s a church that understands worship, perhaps because they are so blessed with the ministry of Mark Condon - http://markcondon.com. Turn Point is led by Pastor Joe Arata, a man of true integrity and passion for the Kingdom. You’ll not find a leader with any more consistency and kindness than Joe Arata. I’m blessed beyond words to be able to minister at Turn Point on a monthly basis. We’ve had 225 baptized in Jesus name since December 7, 2008, and God has filled 220 with the Holy Ghost. Turn Point has an average attendance of 450 and has as good of potential as any church that I’ve ever seen in my life. I can’t wait to go back on October 25, 2009! I love you, Turn Point, and appreciate your consistent hospitality and love for me and my ministry.

Sincerely,

Matt Maddix

"When the Student is Ready, the Teacher will Appear"

For those of us that are sometimes hard headed, there will come a time when life’s lessons will have to knock us flat on our back to get our attention. I am working on listening to the whispers so I do not have to hear the screams. How many times in our lives have we ignored the little gentle nudges that came to us? How many times do we overlook the little warning signs or red flags? It is too bad that many of us have to experience some sort of tragedy or huge life changing event just to get our attention or wake us up. I am the kind of person that usually listens to the gentle whispers of God’s voice or life’s simple lessons. However, it seems that I have been just a little hard headed here lately, and Jesus has been sending me stronger and stronger messages.

They all begin with little gentle nudges, reminders, and cautions. It was an older minister saying, “Matt, you need to pace yourself, slow down, and take care of you!” It was a friend saying, “Matt, I’m worried about you, you don’t look good!” It was another minister saying, “Matt, you can’t keep going like this, you’ll burn out and be like a shooting star that fades!” It was the voice of my Mom, “Matt, please slow down buddy!” It was the voice of very concerned loved ones saying, “Matt, Caleb needs his daddy for a long time, and you can’t imagine what it would do to him if something happened to you!” Wow! You would think that hearing the same thing over and over again, “Matt, you’re not looking good,” that I would wake up, slow it down, and rest! However, for the first time in my life, I did not know how to get a grip, slow it down, or stop my “make it happen” mentality of life!

Life can be so unpredictable at times. There are moments in our life when at the snap of a finger we suddenly fall asleep at the wheel of life. We wake up not feeling good and knowing that something is just not right. While there are times that the devil strikes our bodies with infirmities and diseases, most of the time our sicknesses and ailments are a result of us not eating and resting properly. Many of our sicknesses are actually brought into our life as a result of stress. Stress is a killer. Many of us are battling with severe stress. I would not even want to tackle the subject of “Stress in the Ministry” at this point, but I would caution all of those involved in ministry to please find ways to distress your life and mind. For me, it was a trip to the emergency room a few weeks ago and hearing the doctor say, “Matt, had you waited 30 more minutes to come here, it would’ve been fatal!” I sought the doctor’s wisdom and expertise on what had triggered this in my body. The doctor told me what I had feared the most, “Matt, it was most likely triggered by stress!”

Okay, I am ready to hear what the teacher has to say! For me, it is no longer gentle whispers, but rather screams in my ear, “Matt slow down and rest!” I am not a super hero! The world could survive a few weeks without, “Matt Maddix!” I do not have to go 90 miles per hour everyday of my life. I do not have to keep a schedule that God never intended for my body to handle. We abuse our bodies doing the “work of God.” All along God is saying, “Come unto me, all you that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” When I consider that God rested after six days of work, I am ready to rest. All medical experts will tell you that rest will actually make you more productive. Therefore I am ready to listen! No more hitting the snooze button in the life of Matt Maddix! I have got the message. There will be drastic action taken to ensure that the sweetest little seven-year-old boy in the world has a happy, fresh, healthy, and balanced daddy!
