And God showed up!

We got up early Thursday morning and began to drive to the mountains to get to the campsite. As we drove we could see the business of the city and all the great buildings that havebeen built. We passed by the wonderful gardens and parks that were built for the people. They are breath taking. But as we drove a little further we could see the very impoverished homes built with cardboard and pieces of metal along the side of the mountains. We saw children dressed in rags running and playing. We saw people struggling to make a living traveling from car to car to wash car windows or sell you things. Even very little children were flipping in the street or doing some kind of entertainment just to maybe get a little change from you. So in the midst of overwhelming beauty there is still a strong hand of poverty and many people that need our help. That’s why I awnt to encourage you to give and make a donation to WWLM  right now! Help to empower us to continue to make a difference in the lives  of humanity. Whether it is Africa or Peru or wherever God may lead, becoming a monthly sponsor will cause you to be a part of a ministry that is changing the world one life at a time.

Then we finally got to the campsite. The mountains were just majestic! The flowers were beautiful! The small breeze that blew on my  face was so calming. The people quickly unpacked and headed for the water baptism. Nine people were baptized and they were very excited. The people clapped and cheered when they came out of the water; it was time of great rejoicing! After the baptism there were many activities and games that we could be a part of. Great joy and abundant laughter was everywhere. Soon it was time for dinner and all the meals are served family style. It is very nice! We have made many new friends around the diner table!

The night service was incredible! I preached on the topic "God specializes".  As the Word of God went forth many lives were being changed and transformed while we were preaching. People were crying and jumping and shouting. People were running and dancing and talking in tongues. The Holy ghost was moving! The more we preached the more the glory of God filled that house! People were getting healed and many lives were delivered. Souls were on their knees while the power of God kept moving! Some could no longer stand in the awesome presence of God and fell to the ground as the spirit of the Lord came upon them! At on point the shouting of the saints worshiping God over powered our microphones! There was no doubt that God Almighty showed up! Young children 4 and 5 years old were at the altar crying out to God! Some people were on their knees, some walking and crying. Others were running and praising God. All over the altar people were laid out under the power of God talking in tongues! It was awesome! So many things happened tonight! God was in control. As the meeting continued God began to call young people into the ministry! Pastor Gustavo’s son and daughter were touched mightily by the Holy Ghost and they laid at the altar under the power of God! Families gathered together and prayed for one another! Halleluiah! You know sometimes you try to write a report to help paint a picture of a meeting but all I can tell you is God walked through the house and did what nobody esle could do. After the meeting the power of God just rested in the building. Some young people had to be helped to their rooms. People left crying and talking in tongues! God showed up! He showed up in power and He touched the lives of His people! It was amazing, it was awesome, it was glorious!

God bless you & thank you for giving and praying
