God can do anything!
I would like to share with you the testimony of a brother from one of the church branches in the Lusaka, Zambia. Before coming to know the Lord.
"I was a terrible robber. It happened that one day while in a group of my fellow robbers, we attacked and robbed an unarmed soldier who later on identified me and I was arrested and put in jail. During the same night, the police officers brought a drunkard man in our cell and one of the constables told me to beat that drunkard man. I did not want to do it but I did to please the officers. Unfortunately the following day the drunkard man was found dead and my offense was doubled to robbery and murder. I was devastated.
My life was now ruined. I had been in the prison for over 2 years with no real change of heart. I was worst now than I was before I got in the prison. Whilst in prison, I went to the prison library where I read a Christian book and this is where I can call my turning point because that book spoke to my life. A few days later, a pastor from the Lighthouse Church in Misisi came and preached to all the inmates and there I gave my life to our Lord Jesus Christ. After serving many years in prison I was released and I quickly backslid and started going back to my old ways of stealing and robbing. But I thank God that He did not let me go. A brother from the church testified to me and I felt in my heart to go with him to Mumbwa branch church. The preacher preached a powerful message on Salvation and I gave my life to Christ again. I was revived and this time I was filled with the Holy Ghost! It’s has now been 2-1/2 years since I gave my life back to God and I've never thought of joining to the world again. I am free and He who the son sets free is free indeed! My God is great. He gave me second chance!
I am now an Elder in the church and God is using me, a former drug addict, a former Robber, a former murderer! But once I was washed in the Blood my past was erased! I am a new creature in Christ! Old things are past away and all things have become new! And now I have to go and tell everyone that they can be free! I have to tell the prostitute, the drug dealer, the robbers and the thieves that there is an answer and there is a hope! And no matter how hard the devil may try to hold you down, my Jesus has the power to lift you up! All glory goes to God!"
This is just another example of how God can do anything! So no matter what you are going through or facing just remember it may not look good right now but the Bible says He that has begun a good work in you will be faithful to complete it! So that tells me that I have the right to praise Him because He is working things out for my good! So speak to yourself when the doctor does not give you much hope and say, “He’s working it out!” When family members and loved ones are going through a storm just say,"He’s working it out!" When the bills are due and the money is gone sometimes you just have to grab hold of faith and say, "He’s working it out for my good! My God did not bring me this far to leave me now! Something good is going to come forth from this because my God is working it out!"
God bless you & thank you for your prayers and continued support!

The Lord will make a way somehow!
Good news from Loreto, Peru!
Pastor William from Loreto, Peru has been praying that God would
somehow open up a door from him to be able to travel back down the
river and minister in villages and train pastors that live in the jungle.
The boat that he had was very old, the wood was rotten. With no
finances at his disposal it just seemed like his dream to travel back
down the rivers on his own boat would be a reality that he would never
see for quite sometime. But God, Who is faithful heard the cries of this
man of God's heart. And because you prayed and your gave, the Lord
supplied the finances to purchase him a 20 foot boat and a new 25HP
engine that would cause him to be able to travel down the rivers much faster!
When we told Pastor William that his prayer was answered, he was like
a kid in the candy store! He shouted and thanked God for hearing his
heart's cry. Sunday morning he shared with his church about how God
met his need and the church began to glorify God for the great things
He had done.
Currently the boat is under construction and we are so glad about it
because when we return to Loreto in October, we plan to get on
this boat and travel down the river to at least two villages to have
church services! Glory to God! Not only has God answered Pastor
William's prayer but He has also answered ours because this was also
our desire. We wanted to travel down those rivers and bring the Good
News of the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and now it is about to
come to pass! I want to encourage you today that no matter what you
are going through keep holding onto God's promises. Even if you don't
see it today and you don't know how it could even come to pass, I just
want to let you know "The Lord will make a way somehow!" He got Daniel
out of the lion's den, He brought Israel through the red sea, He caused
the walls of Jericho to fall before Joshua, and He fed over 5,000 people
with only a few loaves of bread and fish! Oh bless God, what does
that mean for you and me! it means God has a plan and He will make a
way if we can just trust Him!
Today I want to encourage you one more time to give towards the next Pastor's
conference in Loreto, Peru. Many Pastors will come to the conference in
October weary and looking for a Word from God! You can be a part of
blessing and empowering the servants of the Lord by giving NOW to this
conference! No gift is too small to make a difference and every
offering will help bring life to someone in need! Give today and I
know that the Lord will give back to you! For the Lord will make a way
somehow!
God bless you

Holy Convocation
The Hand of the Lord!
We truly had a wonderful time at Apostle Best's Holy Convocation held at his church, Sanctuary of Faith and Glory in Windsor CT. Rev. Engman, Adrienne and I were invited to set up our mission booth and share with all the ministers of the Gospel the different ways that they would be able to further the Kingdom of God through their giving. We met so many Pastors, Bishops and Apostles. We made so many friends and had the best times of fellowship with everyone. Wednesday night April 13th I was given the great priviledge to preach the opening night of the convocation. The Lord was truly with us and He moved mightily in the church! As the Holy Ghost began to minister many lives were touched by the power of God! Many pastors and leaders were slain out in the Holy Ghost and the joy of the Lord was in the house! Pastors were jumping and shouting and dancing! It was truly a time of rejoicing because God poured out His Spirit on us all!
The Mission workshop was awesome! We used pictures to tell the story of how it was to live the life of a small child in Africa. Many pastors and leaders cried as the Lord began to touch their hearts. When the pictures were done I began to give a challenge to rise up and respond to the call of God in this hour to reach out and help your brother. I know the Lord was happy because the power of the Holy Ghost began to sweep through that place! People began to shout and cry and talk in tongues! People stood to their feet as the power of God came down and then a prophecy came that caused everyone to really glorify God!
We just had a blessed time at the conference! We heard many other great and powerful speakers. We went to wonderful workshops. The lunches and dinners were excellent! But the greatest thing was that God was with us. And the thing that I love about God is that He takes advantage of every opportunity to pour His Spirit out on His people. God desires to reach out and touch us throughout our day! Sometimes we go through struggles and problems and we try to work them out and God is right there standing by just waiting for us to call His name so He can come running to our rescue! Our God is Omnipresent so He is everywhere at the same time. He is with me while I am here typing but He is also with you while you are reading this blog. And if He is with you that means He wants to touch you and help you right now! Your help is just one hallelujah away! Your deliverance is just one Glory to God away! Your miracle is just one shout away! For Jesus is as close as the mention of His name! So I want to encourage you today to just think about His love and His goodness and every time you get a chance recognize His power and glory! The hand of the Lord is moving and it is reaching out to touch and change , to impart and prosper, to set free and do the miraculous! So no matter what you are doing just take a few minutes out of everyday to just stop and Praise Him and watch your Heavenly Father work on your behalf!
God bless you!

A Visit to Pastor Gustavo's Church - Lima
The Final report!
Before Rev. Teachman and I went to the airport we stopped at Pastor Gustavo’s church. They were having a Tuesday night praise and worship service. The church was packed with people singing and glorifying God! The music was awesome and the joy of the Lord was truly present. Soon after, Pastor Gustavo got up and called Rev. Teachman to greet the church. Rev. Teachman told the people that God gave him a Word and the Word was “The drought was over and I hear the sound of the abundance of rain!” The people clapped their hands and shouted as he encouraged them to keep praising the Lord!
When Rev. Teachman finished sharing his heart, Pastor Gustavo called me up. I spoke for 5 minutes on the power of a promise! And then I told everyone to tell their neighbor, “Neighbor, everything that God has promised you is about to come to pass!” After that it was all over! The Holy Ghost hit the place and people were running and jumping and shouting and talking in tongues! The power of God filled that house! People were crying out to God! It was awesome! Pastor Gustavo's mother amongst others were dancing in the isles and I ran from the platform and joined them! I could not help it, I just could not be still! God was blessing His people with the Holy Ghost rain and I had to jump in it and experience it for myself!
As the Lord continued to move the people kept rejoicing, the children were rejoicing! Why? Well because the Bible says when you pray, believe that you received it and you shall have it! The Word was spoken and we prayed and believed and God showed up to perform it! You see, God can move in one hour or God can move in five minutes! It does not matter to Him. All He needs is for us to believe! I don’t know what God has said to you and I don’t care how impossible it may seem, if you can just believe it! You shall receive it! Oh bless His name forever!
As were leaving the church, the people were still rejoicing! Pastor Gustavo said “Wow this was like a shot of Holy Ghost Adrenaline!” God was so faithful to move in minutes and bless the church. Please pray -- this church desperately needs to find a permanent church building. They are at capacity and need a new church! Please pray that the God who can do anything will make a way out of no way and bless them with a church building in Lima Peru!
Thank you again for all your prayers,
Rev. Sanchez

Our Team Is Home!!!
Praise God! Rev. Sanchez and Rev. Teachman are home safe and sound! Their plane left Lima at midnight; they flew all night and landed at JFK at 8:30 this morning. Brother Lauri drove the weary travelers home - another 2 1/2 hour journey. When they got in town it was wonderful to hug them and welcome them back. Then they were very happy to see the home-made chicken soup I brought them! There's nothing like a bowl of hot soup to put you to sleep. :)
Rev. Sanchez and Rev. Teachman were sad to leave all their friends - the family of God in Peru - but at the same time they are also very happy to be back home and with their families. They ministered daily from their heart and soul and now they are ready for a much needed rest. Thank you for praying that God restores their strength quickly!
God bless you and thank you for all your prayers and giving that made this trip a great success in His Kingdom!! Only eternity will reveal all that was accomplished.

Saturday - Last day of conference in Loreto
Anointing fall on me!
Saturday’s meeting was incredible! We were so happy to see Pastor José and more pastors from the jungle. Everyone had a great time fellowshipping and when it was time for service everyone was filled with joy and excitement. I preached a message called “And the oil stayed”. It was a very powerful message! Pastors and leaders were standing to their feet shouting and clapping! Some were jumping and shouting! The power of God was so strong that no one could be still! Then all at once I believe we experienced what the disciples felt as cloven tongues of fire sat upon each of them in the book of Acts! The Holy Ghost filled the house! Pastors and leaders were getting slain out! People were crying and talking in tongues! The gifts of the Spirit were in operation! We were experiencing Pentecost! The fire of the Holy Ghost just kept moving!
Pastor José fell out talking in tongues! Pastor William was on the floor as the Holy Ghost renewed and refreshed his vision! There was power in the house! People were being healed; young children were being filled with the Holy Ghost. God was filing ever available vessel. Whoever wanted to be touched, whoever wanted to be filled, whoever wanted a miracle received something powerful from the Lord today! Then when we thought it was all over the young preachers were praying for the old preachers and the old preachers were praying for the young preachers and the power of God hit that place like lightning and that church shook under the power of God! The oil of God was truly in the house and God moved with power and authority!
The song writer said “Anointing fall on me, anointing fall on me, let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me"! That’s the key right there, the word let, you have to let it, no matter what you are going through, you have to let it, no matter what you are facing, you have to let it, no matter how you feel, you have to let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on you! Why don’t you take a moment right now and ask the power of the Holy Ghost to fall! Why don’t you take a moment right now and begin to shout! Anointing fall on me!
I just can't help myself, it is like fire shut up in my bones! This is my prayer for every boy and girl, for every man, woman and child, that the anointing of the Holy Ghost would fall on them. I mean fall until sicknesses are healed, fall until the backslider comes home, fall until demons are cast out and blind eyes open, fall until every vessel is filled with power! God said in the last days that He would pour His Spirit out on all flesh and sons and daughters would prophesy! Young men would see visions and old men would dream dreams and upon His handmaiden and servants He would pour out of His spirit the gift of the Holy Ghost and God is doing just that.
The pastors were at the altar for hours! God moved and moved! We jumped in that river of life and there was no turning back! We cannot help but to thank and praise God for all He has done in the lives of these precious pastors and leaders from the jungle! And I know without a doubt, that the best is yet to come!
Glory to God! Thank you for praying! Thank you for giving!

Comments from Pastors & Leaders
Pastor William Sifuentes
God is great. He has encourages us through His Word. He has poured out living water to revive our dreams through the flowing of the Holy Ghost
Sis. Clementina
Sis. Clementina
This Congress is a blessing from God, He is encouraging us and confirming His purpose in our lives.
Bro. Cesar Flores- young minister
First when I came to this conference, I thought it was just going to be another meeting but then I started to see something different. Especially when God began to move. Then I knew things were going to be different in my life and God was going to show and do great things. I came here with broken dreams but God has restored again everything in my life and he made me to trust in Him again.
Pastor Gustavo
Praise God!!!! He deserves all the glory, He is so good and even when He has to straighten our path He does it with great love and with our best in His mind. The challenge is great, the giants are there, but if God is for us who can be against us. This conference is like when God talked to Joshua and the people of Israel before entering the promise land, giving us instructions and equipping us for what God has ahead. Thank God for sending this team to Peru!!!!
All day Friday
Friday - Showers of Blessings!
The morning and afternoon sessions have just been incredible! God has been moving and confirming, establishing and empowering His leaders in mighty ways. Many people have come up to me telling me how they got their answer and direction. God has renewed lives and restored dreams. Many young preachers that lost focus have now got their eyes back on the assignment that the Lord has given to them. Pastor William shared with us how a part of the vision that God has given him has seemed to die over the duration of time. He went on to say “You labor and labor trying to do what God has called you to do, you direct, you preach, you build, you plan and you even write a mission statement with goals and directives only to see very little results. When you are full of vision and potential and you don’t see results, it is very discouraging. But the Lord has visited me and renewed my vision. The Lord has made His path plain. I can see it clear. I feel like I did when I first got filled with the Holy Ghost! Renewed and regenerated! I am strong like a young man and ready to do what God has called me to do. And I feel like he has given me back everything I need to do it."
The visitation of the Lord just seems to keep increasing! The power of God is just moving mightily in our midst. Pastors are being saturated in the power of the Holy Ghost! God has called young people in the ministry! God has been directing His people by His Word and by prophesy! Pastors and leaders are not even able to get up from the altar because the power of God is moving so mightily. People are just crying out to God and God is hearing their cries and meeting their needs.
This afternoon people were slain out all around the altar. The Lord really spoke to Daniel, Pastor William’s son giving him the charge to take up the call and the vision that the Lord has given to him. The power of God hit that young man and there is a fire in his spirit that has ignited his zeal for God. He is ready to fulfill his destiny. He is ready to work in the field that the Lord called him to labor in! All over the altar pastors were weeping and crying! The Holy Ghost was moving and lifting up hearts. God is encouraging and equipping his people to go back into the jungle and set his people free! The Spirit of the Lord just kept moving. It moved in waves!
As the presence of the Lord lifted. I saw pastors and wives crying together. I saw young men slain out on the floor. Others were at the altar singing songs of praise to God. Some people were walking around the church praising God. It was like the cloud of God rested in that church. All the children were around Rev. Teachman and myself just crying and glorifying God. The very little children just smiled and hugged us as the Lord was moving. They just had to be close to God’s presence. When I looked outside it was now dark and soon we were going to have dinner. No one closed the meeting and some people did not move for a long time. I believe with all my heart the greatest revival Peru has ever seen is about to hit the jungles!
Thank you so much for praying! I love and appreciate all of you!
Rev. Sanchez
Paths of Jungles-Rev. Teachman
We went out his afternoon with Cesar our translator and we were testifying to two ladies outside a small building. They invited us into their home to share the Gospel with the rest of the family. They set up chairs and we ministered to them. I asked if any of them wanted prayer and the woman in charge said please pray for all of us together. We held hands and as we prayed and the presence of the Lord filled the house. Many we crying as God touch them in their hearts. They were very thankful for prayer.
Friday Night Service-Rev. Teachman
Tonight I ministered on how God has revealed Himself to you. At the altar call all the children were standing in a line at the front of the altar. And as I touched them each one of them was slain out in the Holy Ghost. All these children remained under the presence of God for quite a while. When they got up they all went to the altar and stayed on their knees crying out to God. Many people were overcome by the love of God, They were crying in thankfulness for what the Lord has done in their lives! The presence of God was so strong that many pastors and leaders fell over under Gods power as we spoke to them. Sister Clementina came and asked for prayer for her arthritis. After prayer I asked her if she had any more pain. She said she could find no pain because God completely healed her. Praise the Lord God does all things well.
Travel the Roads- Rev. Sanchez
As you read these reports you can see why we need to continue giving towards these meetings in the jungle. God wants to empower his people to go into the jungles and win the lost, heal the sick, deliver the captives and build churches for his glory. You can be apart of that! The next conference will be scheduled in October 2011. You have the opportunity to give right now and pay that conference off so more men and women of God will be touched and changed forever. The greatest investment you will ever make is when you invest in the lives of humanity. Be a part of this next conference through your giving today. Travel the roads, ride down the rivers with us, pray with us, walk the paths of the jungles with us! Feel the out pouring of the Holy Ghost with us. Feed the pastors and hug the children with us! You may be asking, HOW? You can do it through your giving! Let us fulfill the call of God together! Give today and help make a way for the next conference in Loreto Peru!

Thursday - Second Day of Meetings Part 2
House to House Evangelism –Rev. Teachman
This after noon a group of us went out to testify to the people in the center of town and to pray with a young man who was sick in his home. This young man’s name is Angel. When we got to his home we found him lying in his bedroom with pain in his stomach and as we prayed God immediately healed him. All the homes in this area are on stilts above the river. As we walked to the next home we saw children fishing from the window in the living room. The entire community is very impoverished with many needs yet the Lord laid it on our hearts to travel their because He had work to do in the midst of His people. At the next home we went to we talked to a woman outside who wanted us to pray with her for salvation but she said before we pray, come into her house and pray for her whole family. We all held hands together and as we prayed the presence of God came on the whole family. Many other people gladly received the Word and we were all filled with the Joy of the Lord as we left this village.
Thursday Nights Meeting- Rev. Teachman
Tonight I preached on God looking for a deliverer. At the altar call the presence of God was rapidly falling on the people as we prayed with them. Every time I pray at the altar a five year old boy comes running to me hugging me and crying on my shoulders. I just break into tears every time he does this and after I finish praying with him he always kisses me on the cheek. When the altar call was almost over we all entered into a quiet time of worship. Many of the people were just sobbing and crying. In the middle of our worship the lights went out leaving us all in the dark. The service was now a prayer meeting in the dark. But this did not hinder us at all. We just kept praying for quite a while. From the young to the old all were just weeping before God. When Pastor William finally announced service was over, nobody moved. Many people were still crying and worshipping God as they left the church.
God bless you!
Rev. George Teachman
Thursday - Second day of meetings Part 1
Thursday morning - Oh Magnify the Lord!
Today everyone came ready to hear a Word from the Lord. The atmosphere was super charged with expectation because of how God has been moving. This morning we taught on "Taking our place in the Kingdom of God and sitting in Heavenly places with Christ Jesus". The Holy Spirit wasted no time in imparting and empowering believers. Pastors and leaders are being saturated by the power of the Holy Ghost and it is much more then emotionalism. It is the reality of the power and presence of Almighty God that is moving in a much deeper way. I mean people are crying out to God, others are laying prostrate in travail. God is doing something awesome in our midst. Little children are running into the church and crying at the altars. They feel the glorious presence of God. Every service is running past time because nobody wants to disturb the moving of the Spirit of God.
Sometimes I feel like a kindergardener trying to write a college essay when it comes to explaining the move of the Spirit. How do you explain it when the power of God overshadows a church and people start weeping and crying and talking in tongues? How do you explain the feeling of the glory when it fills the house, or the cry of a soul that has found its answer in God? What letters do you use to explain young people finding their call in God and being filled with the Holy Ghost and fire, and young jungle workers who are about to give up and throw in the towel but received the fire to fight back and keep working for God?! I don’t know how, but I am doing my best because I stand amazed at the presence of God and I cannot do the moving of the spirit justice because what he is doing in the lives of his people here in Nauta is just plain AWESOME!
Thursday afternoon - Divine Visitation
Every question today during our questions and answers had to do with the Keys of the Kingdom, operating in the Kingdom, and the Kingdom with you. The more we answered questions the greater everyone's faith became. It got to the place that faith was so high in that church that we all stood and starting claiming miracles. We started asking God to do the impossible. As we prayed that church shook and it was like the Lord of Host walked through that church. People were shouting, crying, talking in tongues. People were slain out everywhere! God was making Himself known. Pastor William was on the floor, Sister Clementine was slain out! Pastors were on their faces before the Lord! It was incredible! Then prophesy started to come for people's lives! As the Word of the Lord was delivered, the power of God saturated lives! Cries of praise filled the air! Confirmations were being brought forth! Rev. Teachman gave a Word to Pastor Gustavo and the power of God came over him mightily! Then the Holy Ghost just took over! Leaders started praying for other leaders! Pastor William was going around and praying for pastors! People were claiming things for people’s lives! The power of God just kept moving and moving and moving! And all of a sudden this overwhelming love just consumed the place. Everyone was hugging and crying and you just felt this glorious compassion towards your brothers and sister in Christ. I have never seen or felt anything like this in my life! This after noon session ending in the evening! God visited us and we will never be the same again!
Thank you for praying! God bless you
Rev. Sanchez
