ABOUT

Setting hearts ablaze for King Jesus

Burning Ones was started with a simple conviction: to equip the Church to live with wholehearted devotion to Jesus, and to preach the Gospel throughout the world.

"We proclaim Him, admonishing every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which works mightily within me."  (Colossians 1:28-29)
Michael Dow preaching at Raw Encounter II

Burning Ones was founded in 2012 by Michael and Anna Dow. The beginning desire has not changed— to see the nations of the world experience the love and power of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit and live wholeheartedly devoted to Him. It is for that reason that we have given our lives to equipping the Church and preaching the Gospel throughout the world.

We want to see Jesus receive the reward of His suffering, His inheritance from among every nation, tribe and tongue; a people that will pledge their allegiance to Him as King and lives as his representatives in the earth— a company of faithful witnesses, His Bride.

We are living for the day of His great return and laboring in the harvest fields. The effort of our lives is aimed at His reward.

OUR TEAM

Michael and Anna have been married for eighteen years, and have six children. Together, they have been faithful to the local church in Tampa, FL, Charlotte, NC, and now in the Orlando, FL area. In each of these experiences they have been planted, formed, tested, and proven. In 2016 they planted what is now Habitation Church. From that time, they have continued to serve as leaders in the house God is building and have become affirmed as Elders.

Together, they lead Burning Ones. They have preached the Gospel throughout the world, hosted large crusade events and conferences. Michael has written 8 books, including “Fasting: Rediscovering the Ancient Pathways.” Anna is the featured artist and worship leader on Raw Encounter VOL I & VOL II. She also leads worship around the world and ministers the Word of God in a variety of gatherings.
