First Day of the Leader's Congress in Nauta

Surviving the Storm!

Today pastors and leaders came from everywhere for the Congress.  Some came by boat, foot, and motorbike.  It took some many days to get here. The amazing thing was everyone was caught up in the tropical storm that hit yesterday. The wind, heavy rain and lighting made traveling very difficult for everyone. It was a wonderful time of hugging and crying. We laughed as we saw one another. It was great seeing our old friends, Moises and Teresa and meeting new friends. There is also a young missionary here from Granby, CT who speaks a little more Spanish than I do (so you know that is not alot) but he left everything at home at 24 years old to obey the call of God and come here for 6 months.
So the church was filled this morning with people from all over. My intention was to greet everyone and then begin to teach but God lead me down another path. I began to talk about the storms of life. Pastor and leaders were weeping and crying. God just reached down to were many of these leaders were and began to heal and encourage His people in deep places that only the Lord knew how to reach! I stand amazed at what the Lord did next because when we came through the storm the power of God hit that church with explosive Holy Ghost power! We survived the storm! We made it to the other side! There is a work for us to do! Pastors and leaders were running and jumping! Dancing and shouting! The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! He swept through the church and many were healed! Some spoke in tongues for the first time! As the saints began to praise God we could no longer hear ourselves speak! Jesus was in our midst and He was doing wonders! For the next hour the Glory of the Lord filled that House! Men and women could no longer stand because the presence of God was so strong! There was a mighty river flowing, a mighty river flowing in this place, and it was full of passion, full of power, full of glory, full of healing and full of grace!
God bless you
