Praise and Prayer:
“With God we will gain the victory, and He will trample down our enemies.”
With God we will be able to do amazing things indeed. He will do them through us by the power of His Spirit, in the Name of His Son, for the Glory of the Father.
It has been a long time (couple weeks) without any entry in the blog; but surely the Lord has been on the move; He has been keeping us busy, and personally He has been giving me opportunities to ‘fan into flame’ the gift of God which is in me. At this moment while I’m writing these words my soul rejoices in what is going on since I just heard some of the testimonies of God changing the lives of some people who are coming to a Bible Study group we have every Sunday afternoon in the house where I’m staying… alcohol addictions broken, reconciliation with parents, physical healings, hope in the middle of the storm, freedom of inner vows and old sins, new perspective of life, new understanding of the Word of God, healing in marriages… yes, God has been good with us, all of this has been His work! Is one of those moments where my heart is fully satisfied; there is nothing missing Lord tonight for my praise and gratitude to be complete… I hope this joy and adoration will come to your presence as incense; as a burning offering that is pleasing in your sight; that brings you glory as the rain that is now coming down to bless this land, to feed beasts and people, brings you glory also. Glory coming down and glory going up… all the earth is filled with your glory.
These are some of the testimonies I want to praise for:
· We finished a workshop of evangelism with more than 40 people participating during couple sessions… after the main session more than half of the present gave or recommitted their lives to Christ!
· I’m participating in three Bible Study groups every week; one was assigned by the Church and the other two are completely new. I have seen people giving their hearts to Jesus for first time in all of them; especially in one of them where last week 6 couples committed their lives to the Savior.
· We had a youth retreat last week with about 25 young boys and girls between 12 and 20 years old participating; most of them Christians. Healing of the heart and amazing testimonies of reconciliation and recommitment where the outcome. After the retreat the whole Church came together asking for forgiveness to God for the sins committed for parents and their children. You have to see now the faces of these young believers and hear their testimonies! I get to see them every week at the youth gathering and at their Sunday school and I can tell that freedom and peace are reflected in our faces as are reigning in our hearts.
· I have had the opportunity to teach and share with the youth leaders and the Sunday school teachers of the Church and we all can feel how the Lord is bringing renewal into His ministry. We are encouraged to see new visitors, more attendance and participation in all projects.
There are still many things going on; please pray for:
· The “Change for life” concert coming this next Oct 19th. It’s an evangelistic concert; a free event to take place a Friday night on the most congested street of the city, where young people gather by hundreds on the weekend to chat and drink. It’s important to note that this city has been declared couple months ago as the national capital of the alcohol. The ‘Change for life’ concert will include rock, theater, videos and a ‘challenge to the heart’, meaning the message of the Gospel. Please pray for the hundreds – we hope couple thousands – of young souls that may receive this message for first time in their lives that night. May God raise many people for Him that night; may God speak through His Spirit clearly and firmly revealing His Son; may the tents of counselors be guided by the Spirit to led many to Christ; may the music and the event bring glory to God… may God be present with us.
· There is a youth gathering for Christians of different Churches on Oct 20th… the challenge will be to become salt and light in the city.
· There is a conference for Entrepreneurs and businessmen believers on Thurs Oct 18th with the participation of Jorge Martinez from Houston who is visiting us. What a blessing! Pray for God using him to reach and encourage this group of people.
