About
Hi, my name’s Lynn Fowler, and yes, that’s my photo in the header.
I was born again in 1974, out of a background in the occult. You can read my full testimony here.
The day I was born again, God called me to preach. Three days later, at a midnight Christmas service, He poured out the Holy Spirit upon me. The first week of my Christian life God started speaking to me about going to Bible College, and within 6 weeks I was starting a course for which I was not qualified either academically or spiritually, at a college that I hadn’t even known existed till the Lord led me there. Within 6 months I had begun my preaching ministry.
In 1983 I was first accepted as an ordained minister, and spent some years in pioneer work and itinerant ministry. In the mid 1990s I laid my credentials down for a while due to some personal dramas, though I continued preaching at a lesser level. I was re-ordained in 1998.
At the beginning of 2005 the Lord led me to leave Queensland, where I had been living, and move to Victoria to start a new ministry, Glory to the King Ministries International.
Meanwhile, I had been involved in short-term missions work since 1989, and had visited a dozen different countries in the course of that work. No surprise, then, that GTKMI has a strong missionary aspect.
I have written since I was “knee high to a grasshopper.” My Dad was an Aussie Bush Poet, and writing was just something I always did – though strangely enough my childhood ambitions never included anything to do with writing. Over the years I have had numerous articles published in Australian Christian magazines – and a couple overseas. I also had a children’s book published both in Australia and the USA, and have self-published a couple of Christian books.
My purpose in this blog is to encourage Christians in their walk with the Lord, and hopefully to ingnite a few spiritual fires (I like to refer to myself as a “spiritual pyromaniac.”) Because of the problem of spam, I have turned comments off. However, I would love to hear from any of my readers – just use the contact form.
