Home Ministries Messengers of Hope

Messengers of Hope exists for the purpose of being a catalyst in the hands of God to bring a message of revival and awakening to churches and communities in North America and to train and mobilize lay people toward the task of world evangelization.

igniting the fire

We believe that revival is the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit and that Jesus is at work preparing the church for His soon return (Ephesians 5:25-27). Sharing the Biblical principles of revival and calling God’s people to an appropriate response of brokenness, repentance and reconciliation is often used by God to ignite the fires of revival.

Terry & Debby Baxter

On January 1, 1996, Rev. Terry Baxter, his wife Debby and their seven children joined International Messengers based in Clear Lake, Iowa. They came with the purpose of launching a church renewal and evangelistic crusade ministry called Messengers of Hope.

Terry has a degree in Evangelism from Moody Bible Institute and has served as senior pastor of four churches over a period of nineteen years. Ordained in the Evangelical Free Church, he is an anointed speaker and has ministered in numerous interdenominational renewal and evangelistic services across North America and Eastern Europe.

God is using Messengers of Hope as a catalyst to bring revival and awakening to churches and communities across North America. There are abundant testimonies of people set free from sin and bitterness, marriages strengthened, congregations reconciled and entire communities hearing the gospel through this ministry. To God be the glory, great things He has done!
