It all began some 45 years ago when Kathryn Kuhlman called me out of the crowd and said, Do you believe? Billy Burke
In October of 1977, the Holy Spirit Launched Billy Burkes public ministry to the Nations. Because of Billys cutting edge commitment to the call- we are able to confirm and testify of many thousands upon thousands of Gods Trophies of Grace that Billy Burke World Outreach has been privileged to witness down through the years. In addition to his crusade schedule which carries him extensively throughout North America and Europe, Billy Burke has authored several books and has an internationally recognized television program Expect A Miracle. The headquarters of Billy Burke World Outreach are located in Tampa, Florida, along with The Miracle Center which is Pastor Billys local church body. He has also had the privilege of experiencing the apostolic anointing; starting churches some 30 years ago that are still thriving today.
In the journey..the road has been full of many challenges and attacks beyond measure that God has worked into His plan to refine and shape the vessel so it can be "meat for the Masters table."
God isnt looking for golden vessels
God isnt looking for silver vessels
God is looking for yielded vessels!
Kathryn Kuhlman
At the early age of 9 Billy met the Healing Jesus! Stricken with a terminal brain tumor and just days to live, Billy through his grand-mother, was introduced to the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman. Miss Kuhlman called Billy out of the crowd and asked him, Do you believe? Then she touched him and in a moment, all the cancer was gone.
The power that went through me was absolutely incredible! It consumed every cell in my body. I was pinned to the floor and could not move...The greatest sensation ever." Billy Burke
As Billy entered his teenage years... He began to make choices that led him away from the God he knew and trusted as a young boy. He became a prodigal who went the way of the world and his sins separated him from God. Still very aware of the voice of the Holy Spirit and still very conscience of what God had done thru the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman, Billy continued to drift further and further away.
Billy's grandmother and his mother continued to pray relentlessly that the Healing Jesus of his youth would again intervene, have mercy and get Billy back on track. Billy says to this day that even in his darkest hours away from the Lord he could feel the prayers of his grand-mother who would not leave go of his destiny. Suddenly, at the age of 19, Billy's younger brother was killed by a drunk driver. This devastated Billy and he began to search for the reason of why he was spared from a horrible disease. He was miraculously healed and yet his younger brother was taken. He had no peace and could find no answers..
It was then that Billy received a phone call from Maggie Hartner, secretary to Kathryn Kuhlman. He was asked to meet Kathryn at Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown, Ohio. Kathryn had asked Billy to come and share his testimony of what God had done some nine years earlier. This was the first step back to God's purpose and the beginning of a whole new life. Since that day Billy has never looked back.
After completing his studies at Melody Land School of Theology in Anaheim, California under the leadership of Pastor Ralph Wilkerson, Billy began the ministry the Holy Spirit had been preparing him for.

I came across Habakkuk 3:19 in my attempt to refuel my sunken strength and journal out these thoughts in my morning quiet time. And what spoke to me is this…
