Revival Fire Healing Ministry
Leadership : Jim and Sarah Chamberlin

Based out of Hamilton New Zealand, Jim and Sarah have a heart cry to see the body of Christ be raised up to be all that she is called to be.

Originally sheep and beef farmers from the King Country, God called their family to Bible College, and then as Christian workers in China working among Tibetan Nomads.

In December 2007 the Lord called them back to New Zealand and gave them a new vision of coming and going into different places and nations releasing the anointing and power of God. They hunger to see revival come in fullness in this nation and the nations of the world.

Missions is very much a part of who they are. They believe that as people of God we are all called to 'go into all the world with the gospel', as in Matt 28:18-20.

Equipping the body, missionaries, churches, pastors and leaders to move in the power of God is a call on their lives. They have ministered not only in New Zealand and China, but also in Fiji, Tonga, Myanmar, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Kenya and Portugal.

They currently pastor Glory Release Church, held on Sundays open to people from all denominations.

More information on these gatherings can be found on the church page.

“Jim and Sarah are passionate lovers of Christ who desire to see the glory of God touch and transform people's lives. They minister with compassion and Holy Spirit power and always leave people in a wake of love. They have been involved in Christian ministry for many years including missions and church leadership. They also minister regularly in various churches through out New Zealand. I personally love and endorse them both for whatever ministry opportunity is presented to them.”

Rev. Diane Yule - Te Awamutu Presbyterian Church, Te Awamutu, New Zealand.

"The words of the Lord’s prayer, the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples, are particularly relevant to Jim and Sarah’s ministry as they truly seek to be conduits of God’s Kingdom here on earth. Indeed, their passion is for God to use them in ministry and mission in order to extend God’s Kingdom & His saving grace & love wherever they are as they pray: ‘Father, your will be done, your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.’….They are willing to be used anywhere, with anyone! All people are important to them! Indeed, it is a true delight to see their love for everyone, regardless; and so their willingness to be available to touch people’s lives one on one or ministering in a small group or to larger gatherings. Nothing is too small or too big for them as they trust in God’s leading….”

spiritual oversight

As a ministry we are blessed to have an oversight of 7 board members (incl. Jim & Sarah) from all different churches that Jim & Sarah have relationship with, and whom have been Christians in leadership for many years. These are people with experience and insight, and understand the call of God on Jim and Sarah's lives, and the call of the ministry, which provides a place of accountability and safety.

If you wish to speak to one of these with any of your concerns, once speaking to Jim & Sarah regarding your issue (Matt 18), please contact the office for details.

Expectations and frustrations

Last night I had this dream and I saw myself going up the mountain with my husband and as we went up the mountain to the snow I saw the most beautiful waterfall flowing in the bush and the scenery was just beautiful and as we reached base camp there were many people waiting to go on the ski lift to the mountain but they were having to wait because as I watched the snow was melting so fast because the sun was coming out so strong the the snow was melting like right before your eyes and people were no longer able to ski. People were getting frustrated because they had come to go skiing and now no longer were able to, but for others like myself I so was enjoying the scenery that because the snow was melting there was so much beauty all around. At the same time there was aeroplanes flying around doing acrobatic flying in the sky and other people were in stands watching the planes flying around. As I looked at this this morning, I believe we are coming into a time where the ...

Latest Prayer Update

Since writing last – We continue to pray about the tent meeting but the Lord seems to continue to have that on hold as I believe he has another way of doing the same thing but in a new way where the whole body will be used and so we wait until all the pieces come together. Please be patient with us in this. Africa – We continue to have words given to us about Africa and so the Lord is definitely talking about Africa but he seems to be widening the vision with it all, not just Malawi. It seems more like at this stage visiting a number of African Countries wherever the Lord leads, empowering people – a bit like the last China trip but for longer and more countries and so too we wait for all the pieces to fit together. He has said to have our bags packed ready to go at a moments notice and so we have done that by faith, there are just a few other things that need to come together to make this possible. Picton – We were blessed to be part of a team that we...

Is the church a cafe? Did you go to be served or to serve?

I had a dream this morning where I saw that I was working in a cafe. It was busy, there were people coming and going and we didn’t have everything we needed, we still needed a barista, some customers were helping cook the steak for the hamburgers that Jim was cooking as Jim was rushed off his feet. We needed people to serve the people coming in as I was dealing with all the different ones coming and going. I saw that people were sitting down in a seat but actually weren’t there to get food, they were just using the seats even though they were not using the cafe. I saw a council officer come in to inspect things and she saw we still needed a barista and she knew people and was going to help us to find one. There was an older man there who was smoking a cigar and I was keen to have a drag off his cigar. People were wandering through our private home at the back of the cafe. The cafe remained open because people kept coming. But I was shown that if I did...

Do you want to walk in signs, wonders and miracles?

People say to me that they want to walk in signs wonders and miracles and yet..... the cost it takes to do that they are sometimes not willing to pay - yet Because the reward far outweighs any cost that might come. And I pray that people get a revelation from God of the joy set before them through Jesus! The cost of perhaps walking away from friends that don't believe what you believe or wan t, the cost perhaps of family who reject you because you are radical and taking your faith too far - in their eyes at least, the cost perhaps of leaving houses, fields etc, the cost perhaps of going to a friend and apologising for your behaviour, as you obey what it is the Lord puts on your heart to do and you may need to surrender these. Yes salvation is free through Jesus, but to walk in the anointing of God where you see captives set free around you, where you see the sick healed, where you see lives changed before your eyes, costs you to believe in what Jesus has done and can do, thr...

Does your boat have life jackets?

Do you go out fishing on a boat without a life jacket? Do you go out on the water unprepared for what may happen? And yet for many Christians this is the state of their Christian walk, they are not prepared for what may come and so when things go wrong they have not spent the time in the word of God, which teaches them truth so that when the enemy comes in like a flood and overwhelms them, they have no where to go except down, because the belt of Truth is like our safety be lt that holds us up when the flood threatens to overwhelm us. Truth is the word of God, truth sets us free, truth brings us life and helps us discern what is of God and what is not of God. A word the Lord was bringing last night is to be prepared and so I encourage you to take the time, set time apart, go in and shut the door to distractions, shut the door to the words the enemy would try and bring, shut the door to discouragement or whatever may be coming that is trying to take your eye, the phone, Facebook, tv...

Let's not be a 'passerby' this Christmas

If you were to see a car accident happen would you stop and help the people in the car or would you drive by believing that others will help them and keep going to where you were headed? This morning I was woken by a request by the pastor in India where we visited three years ago requesting help for the orphanage and daily needs as they were struggling and I thought of the dream I had this morning about a car accident that had happened and those that walked by. For many of us every day things have happened to the people around us that need our help in some way. The Lord took me to James 2:5 "Listen my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? But you have dishonoured the poor..... v14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a br...
