John David Davis was born on February 14, 1955 in Ironton, MO.  He graduated from Potosi High School. On February 14, 1975, he was joined in holy matrimony to Debbie Riley.

John was a passionate preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for over 50 years. He loved God, he loved people, and he loved seeing lives changed by the power and presence of God. The calling of ministry on his life encompassed evangelism, leading revivals and shepherding God’s people as a pastor. He had served as lead pastor at the First Assembly of God in Raytown, Sullivan, and Clinton, MO.  He also worked in the Southern Missouri District of the Assemblies of God as the District Youth Director

 In the late 1980s, he returned to full-time evangelism and he and Debbie traveled over 30 years as evangelists and leading revivals.  In 1993 the Lord had blessed John by helping him establish the Walking Bible Revival Center in Ozark, MO. This was a church and bible institute that trained those entering ministry. He was in a six-week revival in Sikeston, Mo in 1995, when he was invited by Pastor John Kilpatrick to Pensacola, FL to see how the Holy Spirit was moving in his church.  It was so life transforming that he and Debbie relocated to Pensacola for four years, and John traveled the nation in extended meetings as Ambassador of the Brownsville.

Around 2000, John felt the Lord calling him to Branson. He continued with revival meetings and also began the Branson Revival, hosting weekly bible meetings, along with initiating America Back to God rallies.  In the past six years, he had partnered with Pastor Ralph Casebolt of Preparing the Way Ministries that was part of the ongoing revival this ministry was leading. His voice will continue to be heard by the many who were impacted by his example of pursuing God and preaching God’s Word and spreading the flames of Holy Ghost Revival.  

Joohn went peacefully into the presence of the Lord on April 14, 2024. He was 69.
