At one point during the meetings at the Carpenters Home Church, Karl Strader had telephoned Charles and Frances Hunter, the well-known Christian authors based at John Osteen's church in Houston, Texas, to tell them what was happening. They then contacted Marilyn Hickey to ask her about it. In their book on the revival, Holy Laughter (Kingwood, Texas: Hunter Books, 1994), p. 36, Frances Hunter wrote, "I had never heard Marilyn so excited! She shared more experiences of what had happened during Rodney Howard-Browne's meetings, not only in Florida but in Denver, as well. Not only did this happen to her, but it affected her daughter, Sarah, too! As a matter of fact they spent the night before Sarah's wedding at Rodney's meeting, laughing!"
Charles and Frances Hunter came into contact with the revival when they went to Rodney Howard-Browne's winter campmeeting in Lakeland, Florida, in December of 1993, where they "saw demonstrations of power with Rodney just pointing at people who would then fall under the power of God" (p. 38). The Hunters then went to Wayne Jackson's church, Great Faith Ministries in Detroit, Michigan, where some of the same manifestations started to break forth as a result of their ministry (pp. 40-50).
In spring of 1994, the Hunters brought the revival to London, England (pp. 51-57). The London meetings were held a pentecostal church pastored by Colin Dye, Kensington Temple, one of the largest churches in Great Britain, where more than 116 nations were represented. There was a group of twenty from Ireland who were anxious to bring the anointing to Ireland (p. 54). "Scottish people were there, and they took this back to their nation. Representatives from other countries were also there, and they laughingly but seriously took this back to Switzerland and Germany" (p. 55). "By Easter Sunday it was impossible to get all the people into the church. ... It was snowing outside and we were told they had bolted the doors to keep the people out who were trying to break down the doors to get into this great move of God" (ibid).
Soon afterward, the Hunters went to the Hague and Rotterdam in Holland (pp. 57-59), where thirty visitors from Belgium then brought the revival from Rotterdam back to their own country (p. 59).
