Oct 15
Today was our kick-off to the trip. The team visited a jungle village called Requena. It took about 3 hours by boat, going north from Nauta (the village where the conference will take place), up the Amazon river. It was here that we met the church leadership of the Evangelic Church of Jesus Christ. In this remote village, we had limited time but Minister Marco Mancini brought a message to that leadership on not letting the world kick Jesus out of the Church.
One of the pastors present was in need of a healing. He had fallen about a year ago and has been hindered by what he thinks are slipped disks in his back. This pastor walked in with a towel over his head and having to keep his head propped up with his hand. His neck and his back were all kinked up and he was barely able to lift his arms. He spent the time during the ministering laying on a bench.
The need for this man as well as the need of the Church was great. But we serve a Great God!!! After the message we all prayed together to fight to keep Jesus in the Church and for this pastor to be healed of this condition.
After prayer, the pastors and leaders of the Church, as well as that man, were walking around that church, praising God - going around the altars and up the aisles. This pastor was able to lift both hands up and praise God with the rest of the leadership. He was able to do things that he was not able to do in a whole year! He was crying out to God as he used his faith to trust in a God that makes the impossible possible.
Continue to pray for that pastor, as well as the church in Requena that God will send them forth with power in their ministry. It was great to know that some of the pastors of this church will be coming to the pastors conference this week. We know God is going to continue do great things!
God Bless You!

Praise God! We serve an awesome God!
