 I attended Genesis Church in Rhode Island and joined my pastors in their mission to contend for revival in our state. We held many services and 24-hour prayer initiatives to beg God to pour out His Spirit over RI. I would always sign up to pray in the 3 A.M. hour and on one of those occasions I had a vision of what looked like uncapped wells. I saw many round openings in the ground, which I knew were wells that had been uncapped, and I saw water floating at the surface. A few months later, our pastors met the global evangelist Tommie Zito of American Awakening¹ and he agreed to come to RI in May of 2017 to hold a week-long evangelistic crusade, but agreed to extend his stay if revival broke out. I will never forget the first night of the crusade. As I walked into the church, my legs began to buckle. I could barely stand, so I bent over to lean on things just to get to a chair. The glory of God was incredibly thick even though Tommie hadn’t arrived at the church yet. As I prayed over the church in preparation for the service, I had a vision of a very large well digger. This vision was related to the vision of uncapped wells. The latter vision was God saying… “Get ready for the water that is going to shoot up from the old revival wells like geysers!” And I witnessed just that daily in the 3 weeks following. As Tommie preached that first night, I ended up on the floor beside many others in an encounter with God, which has impacted my ministry forever. In addition to the nightly Holy Ghost services, each morning at the church, Tommie’s team held evangelistic trainings and following, teams were sent out all over the state to share the Gospel message. Our 25-year-old spiritual daughter who is very shy was filled with the desire to evangelize to strangers on the street. She chose to fast from food for days and to do the outreaches with a burden to try and save as many people as she could. This was only 1 manifestation of the power of God that I witnessed. Every day there were dozens of salvations which were documented. By the end of the first week, the church was packed and an overflow room was added. By the end of the 3rd week, there were around 3,000 people who were reached with the Gospel message which were documented by the evangelistic teams. Many of those people came to the night services and some were filled with the Holy Spirit. During this outpouring, our church family learned from a visitor that the location of our church used to be the location of another church named My Father’s House. This visitor told our pastors that they had witnessed a revival in that church about 20 years prior, where miracles, signs and wonders took place, and that the anointed missionary and miracle healer Heidi Baker had visited there. In that moment, God revealed that we were in a location of an old revival well, hence the reason for my vision of uncapped wells. The ironic thing about it is that my church had only recently moved there from a different location in the same strip mall. I believe it was God’s leading that brought us to that very spot! Obviously, a few hundred feet made a big difference to God! On November 22, 2025 I pulled into the parking lot of Providence Life Center for the New England Alliance regional gathering for pastors and leaders. I thought, “Holy Ghost Church located on Federal Hill is only a half mile from here! That’s the location where the Catholic Charismatic Renewal broke out under the leadership of Fr. John Randall!” This revival fire was sparked in 1969 and its fire was spread by Fr. Randall not only in RI, but around the globe. During the leaders meeting, one of the pastors from RI referenced the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Later I learned from him that he was part of that revival and I responded that I too was part of it, as Fr. Randall was my pastor and spiritual father. The following day when I recorded in my journal the events of that gathering, I heard God say to me, “You uncapped wells,” meaning the group. What I feel that God was teaching me is that the prayers of the united body of Christ causes God to move His hand to uncap and unstop old revival wells. Four months later, on March 19th, 2026 I woke at 3:16 A.M. from a vivid dream. I saw water gushing and flowing freely but then it suddenly got stopped up. Something was keeping it from flowing. When I spent time that morning in prayer I was led to the book of Genesis. “Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt” (Genesis 26:15). What I felt God was saying through my dream is that the flow of the living waters of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit has been stopped up by the enemy and this has hindered people from receiving salvation, hence the reason why God woke me at 3:16, referencing John 3:16. By giving me this dream, God had placed a burden on my heart to intercede that the wells be unstopped or uncapped, so that the living waters can flow freely once again. I feel a burden to pray, even unto tears, for a mighty harvest of souls for Jesus, “that none should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). This past week I attended Mario Murillo’s 3rd gathering in 3 years in New York. While driving to Albany, NY for Mario’s “Miracle Service” on June 28th, I wondered if Mario’s focus on New York had something to do with the old revival wells that Charles Finney dug. Revival broke out through Finney in the 1820’s and 30’s in New York, Finney’s home state. Sure enough, mid-way through the evening, Mario told of how God told him to hold an evangelistic tent crusade in Albany, NY, stating that He was going to release His glory over the I90 corridor, an interstate whose towns were part of Finney’s circuit. Mario is contending to uncap the wells that Finney dug; to see those wells spring forth like geysers, so to refresh and revive the people and the dry, barren land of New York. Alleluia! Let it be so Lord! Let there be a mass harvest of souls at his upcoming 5,000-seat tent crusade this September! My prayer in this season is much like the prayer of Othniel, Caleb’s daughter. In the book of Joshua we read, “One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, ‘What do you desire?’ ‘Give me a blessing,’ she answered. ‘Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.’ So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.”² Caleb had received the land he possessed as an inheritance from the Lord Almighty. Out of love for his daughter, Caleb gave a portion of his land, including springs as an inheritance to her. Present father of the faith Lou Engle teaches on this spiritual principle in his book “Digging the Wells of Revival.”³ The book’s subtitle states, “Reclaiming Your Historic Inheritance Through Prophetic Intercession.” On the back cover we read, “Do you know that just beneath your feet are deep wells of revival? Are you aware that you are standing on bottomless geysers and founts of the anointing and mandates of our spiritual forefathers and mothers that are just waiting to be released afresh to you? God is calling us as instruments today to unstop the wells and reclaim the spiritual inheritance of our nation.” This is my calling! This is the burden that God has placed upon my heart as I contend for revival in my state of RI, my region of New England, and my nation of America. The prayer of my heart is to my heavenly Father: Daddy God, would you please give to me an inheritance from my spiritual forefathers—land that includes upper and lower springs—springs that will burst forth like geysers and flood the land, causing it to be fertile and washed clean from the defilement of unclean spirits that hinder people from receiving the Gospel message? You said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”⁴ You said, “So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”⁵ I am asking for an outpouring of Your Spirit that will produce a mass harvest of souls for Jesus. I thank You for answering my prayer. Notes 1. Tommie Zito, founder of American Awakening. www.tommiezito.com/american-awakening 2.
