The truth hurts but it will set you free.

         Johnny has been in the ministry since 1994. In 1995 he won the GPGMA Male Vocalist of the Year and in 1996 he was the entertainer of the year. He toured with Vern Jackson for 3 years and in 1997 signed with Ajalon Records out of Nashville TN. In 1998 Johnny started a ministry called RideRight where they taught kids about Jesus using rodeo training. That ministry took him to Great Falls Montana. It was in 2000 when things began to unravel. He became addicted to pornography and hid it from his wife and even lied to himself as to the severity and damage it was causing in every area of his life. At that same time, his wife took ill and they moved back to Michigan. He temperarily got control of his addiction and became the Associate Pastor of Southgate church in Toledo, OH.   His road to recovery was long and hard. Johnny and his wife could not save their marriage and Johnny stepped down as Pastor and Noelle divorced him.

         Johnny met Gale in 2008 and she made him attend Cornerstone Church in Maumee, OH. Bishop Michael Pitts began to allow Johnny time to just sit and be restored. He sent Johnny through a program called Restoring the Foundations. In 2012, Gale and Johnny were married. In 2013 Johnny was given a word that it was time to recover what was lost and to finish the race before him. "God has done a major work in my life. He has allowed me to learn what true relationship with Him really means." "My heart is to reach out to others and be transparent about what happens when you are a superficial Christian and how God truly needs them to get real!" "If God can forgive me and restore me, then He can do it with anyone." "I am truly sorry to all the people I have hurt in my past. Many people may think I don't deserve grace or to be able to be used by God ever again. They would be right. However, I promise I will work hard for the rest of my life to help people not make the same choices and mistakes I made." Just know this, what you do in private will be screamed from the roof tops. If you are in a secret sin now of any type, get a hold of me. I will NEVER judge you and will only work with you to see your life fully rescued and completely set free! Gale and Johnny have gone full time back into the music ministry. "I am a believer... I believe in God, Grace and the Gift of Salvation!"

Huge News from Johnny Rowlett Ministries

EXTREMELY EXCITING NEWS!


We just got the word from our Attorney that we are now officially a non-profit organization. 
We just got our EIN# !!!

This means we can now receive financial gifts from anyone and be able to give them a Tax write off.
This month we have already received lots of support. 
I am working with him to see if these benefits can be retro-active.
 The timing of this could not be any better. As we come to the end of this tax year,
If you need a tax write off,
please consider Johnny Rowlett Ministries. We will get you a tax receipt.

We are so thankful to all of our partners and friends that help us get down the road.
We are reaching people with the truth of hope and restoration.
We are seeing many people saved and brought into the kingdom as new believers.
However, we are also seeing people re-commit their lives and get real with God 
about where their lives are and where they should be.
 We want men and women to get beyond being the superficial Christian
and get down to the core issues that are keeping them from the fullness of relationship with Father God!
Our goal is to work with local pastors in the belief that Cities can be won!
Sometimes these churches are very small and can not afford to pay us much if at all.
These to me, are the ones that need the most help.
I never want to tell a church no because of their size. 
Across the country these small churches do amazing work and we want to help them.

Gale and I have a unique ministry with a powerful yet simple message.
We are thankful to you all and look forward to an amazing 2014!

Even Santa Oughta Know...but in love lol

Even Santa Oughta Know 

I've got a song out that most people seem to love and is kinda funny. The title says it all. "The skies, the seas, the land, the trees and even rudolfs nose was made by baby Jesus and Even Santa Oughta Know". Although humorous it really strikes a chord with many Christians this time of year. I can always feel my brother and sisters hair standing up at attention when someone says Merry X-mas or even Happy Holidays. I get it trust me, being a child of the God and feeling our kingdom is under attack is very real. However, I want to introduce a new thought. God doesn't need us picking a fight with people over this He needs us picking a fight with the real enemy. He needs us to stay focused on the real battle which is souls be stolen from my Father God! I'm not sure that we should be mad at people but rather staying in love and leading them to the true meaning of Christmas. We celebrate the virgin birth of Jesus who would, in love, willingly lay down his life so that ALL men may find true peace and true grace. He was completely pointing all of our attention to the God of the universe and saying with his actions. He loved you so much He sent me to die for you! I believe God doesn't really need us walking around mad because the world is acting like...well, the world. He has called us to lovingly lead them to their God! Just a thought...Love y'all!
