Greetings in the name of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ! Diana and I are so humbled and thankful for you our
friends and partners in Christ. Together, we are making a tremendous difference!
Just one month ago, I was privileged
to minister in Argentina for the 5th time, I believe. I want you to know that it
was an outstanding Ministry trip. Because of the cold weather, we ministered in
large Churches with only 1 outdoor service. I traveled 50 hours in 5 days
ministering 4 times in 3 different cities outside of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Many nights there were over a 1000 in attendance. Although it was cold outside,
the fire of the Holy Spirit was raging on the inside. Every night, the altars
were filled with hurting people either receiving Christ as Saviour, or seeking
more of God. Hundreds received Christ, hundreds received Activation and
Impartation to fulfill their Destiny, and many received a healing touch from the
Master's Hand.
God even performed Creative Miracles.
In fact, 2 people testified that they were cancelling surgeries scheduled for
the very next week! What an honor and what a blessing to be in that type of
Miracle Atmosphere and Flow of the Holy Ghost again in the Nations. I was
probably touched as much as anyone, to see what the Lord was doing in our midst.
As I said, there were many that received a healing touch from the Lord. God
opened up the deaf ear of a 12 year old girl who testified that she was
cancelling her surgery. He also healed hips, knees, backs, necks, tumors, and
many with pain wracked bodies for years. Some said they could hardly believe
what the Lord had done for them.
In the last service, what a special
time it was. The atmosphere was electric! From the beginning to the end. There
were possibly 1200 people jammed in the Church. It seems that many times, the
Lord often saves the best for last, and this time was no different. My body was
weakened from fasting, ministering 4 times in 3 days, and a lot of travel. I
also had very little voice left, and nauseating pain in my back. None of this
seemed to matter to our Lord, in fact, when we are weak, HE IS STRONG! And His
Presence was very strong that night. Close to 100 people received Christ as
Saviour, and more than that responded to the 2ond Altar Call for Healing.
There were many outstanding miracles.
I do remember asking the Lord to perform Creative Miracles for the first time in
my life. Let me share what happened. I didn't feel led to lay hands on anyone,
but simply pray from the platform. No man has to lay hands on you for you to
receive your healing. God heals by His Spirit and by His Word, and He'll not
share His Glory with anyone! One of the first testimonies was from a woman
carrying an infant baby. She was emotional and the first words out of her mouth
were that she was cancelling her baby’s surgery. God had done a miracle! She
said that her baby had been born with all of it's toes bunched and webbed
together. Stacked on top of each other. But what I saw was the most perfectly
formed baby’s foot ever, all straight and all beautiful, Praise God! Another
woman came up with her 5 year old girl. She had been born with hip problems and
with one arm noticeably longer than the other. I want you to know that God
lengthened her arm, straightened her hip, and she could do things that she never
could before. We serve a mighty God! There were many more healings and many as
well that received a fresh powerful touch from God's Spirit that night. There
are many open doors to do Crusades there next year as well praise God!
As I write this letter, Diana and I
are about a week away from leaving again for the Mission Field. We are preparing
to minister in a small city in a remote area about 15 hours north of Lima, Peru,
by Bus. We will be taking our children with us on this venture, so please pray
for protection over them. This Crusade will take place in Tuman, Peru, a place
we've never been before. We are also trying to impact 14 other small towns as
well. With God's help we will send out buses to 14 other Pueblos or Towns close
by to bring them to the big Crusade. These 14 Buses will cost 30 to 100 dollars
each, for a total of 1,000 dollars for the 2 night Crusade. We are still
believing God for this, along with thousands of dollars more for this Historical
Outreach. Again, this will be the first large Crusade ever in the History of
Tuman, Peru. The Pastors there are very excited with great expectancy for a move
of God. They are fasting and praying and working very hard for this Crusade to
happen.
This morning my Coordinator called
from Peru. He's very anxious to begin the advertising on Radio, and make the
1000 large Posters and 10,000 flyers. To secure permits for the location and
rent the Platform and 50,000 watt Sound System. To secure the 14 Buses necessary
for the Crusade. There are also many other arrangements to be made, and all take
money and time to do. The Pastors are in place and ready to work. Diana and I
have committed to doing everything necessary for this Crusade to happen, and now
it's time to go.
Will you pray about being a part of
this last Missionary Trip this year? About impacting 15 Cities simultaneously
with one big Crusade? Your Seed will potentially touch thousands for the Kingdom
of God, and I believe bring forth a Harvest of 30, 60, and yes, even 100 fold in
your own life! Don't look at our economy or the government to meet your needs.
Look up to the hills from whence cometh your help. Look to Jehovah Jirah, the
Lord God your Provider. We live in God's economy, not mans. And in God's
Economy, there will always be Seedtime and Harvest!
I want to close this letter by asking
everyone to pray for Pastor Thelma Gomez, Pastor Jaime Gomez's wife. 2 weeks ago
she had 2 aneurisms in her brain. One artery also ruptured filling her head with
blood. She was flown to the capital and operated on just days ago. During the
surgery, another artery burst but they were able to repair it. They induced a 48
hour coma for rest but 4 days later are still awaiting her to respond and wake
up. PLEASE PRAY for this mighty woman of God. Diana and I are in daily contact
with them, and will be seeing them personally on this trip. Thank you for
co-laboring with Diana and I in the Kingdom of God. Together, we're making a
difference!
