First Meeting in Oviedo,Spain, Wed night, 11/9/11

The first meeting was a regular weekly prayer meeting, where Rev. Robles greeted the church and introduced us.  Then we went to prayer.  We are happy to report that we felt like we were at home at our own prayer meetings.  The pastor was leading prayer in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and the church was praying in total unity with him.  You could feel the presence of God.  The pastor is a wonderful worship leader and singer, playing his guitar and brought the presence of God into the service.  There were approximately 40 people attended this prayer meeting.

Then it was time for God's word!  Sister Mado interpreted while I preached from Isaiah 60:1 ~ “Arise and Shine”;  and, how this is the church’s opportunity to use what God has given us to win the lost and to support the pastor and the ministry so that souls can be saved.  The church responded wholeheartedly, and the pastor was very excited.  The presence of God was so strong, and the Holy Spirit pointed out to me a lady sitting in the audience who needed to be set free from her heavy burdens.  I called to her and asked her what her name was, I told her that God wanted to free her from her heavy burdens, and she began sobbing in her seat.  I called her down to the front and prayed with her and told her to just give it to Jesus, and God met there at the altar, so much so that she fell out under the presence of God, and the pastor had to catch her!  While praying for her, I told her that Jesus would forgive her of every sin, and to let it go right now, and she fell out under the presence of God

So then I gave an alter call for anyone who wanted to come and meet with God.  A young man came crying, with his hands raised up.  I asked him what he wanted God to do for him.  He said that he wanted to renew his first love.  When we laid our hands on him, he began speaking in tongues, and he also fell out under the power of the Holy Ghost.

Another lady came for prayer, because she desperately needed a job.  (Later, we found out that there is 40% unemployment in Oviedo, and the young people are leaving - please pray)  When we prayed, we could feel that if God had to create a job for her He would!  She got so blessed in the Holy Ghost.

Then we called everyone to come around the altar, and to take hold of God's word, to put it into their hearts and do a greater work in this area, and the whole church responded.  During this time, we noticed another lady just sobbing.  We told her to just give it all to Jesus, and she got free in the Lord!  Truly, God moved in this church, and they are a people that want to see God move in their area!

We had a wonderful fellowship afterward with the pastor and his wife, the Robles Family, and sister Mado.  We found out that the pastor really believes in the full Gospel like we do, and he is already making plans to come to our May 2012 minister's conference.

Thursday night, I will be ministering at a new work this pastor has recently stated in a small fishing village called Candas.  Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

God Bless you all

Rev. Sal Mancini
