Last Day in Nauta (Peru)

Joy like a River!

The last meeting with the pastors was awesome! We had made so many new friends and had spent so much time praying and crying, laughing and fellowshipping, talking and walking, preaching and shouting, singing and dancing together that we have truly become one. The Bible explains it best when it says in Psalms 133: 1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."  We all have become one! We are brothers and sisters. It does not matter where we were born or what color our skin was our heavenly Father has joined us together and that brotherhood, that’s strong sense of family that is willing to fight for one another could be felt in the church. All over the church today pastors were praying for one another and speaking words of faith and encouragement to one another! I have never felt such unity. There was healing and power in that unity! Pastors leg pain and back pains disappeared as the love of God flowed from one heart to the other. As the pastors continued to pray the power of God feil in that church and God spoke sweet victory into the lives of many men and women of God! Shouts of praise, tears of gladness, groups hugging together all over the church! There was truly joy like a river and it was flowing all over the church! As the Spirit of God continued to move pastors fell out all over the church under the power of the Holy Ghost! The Lord took eveyr opportunity to saturate His precious people! Saying goodbye was not easy. Many tears where shed! Some of us held on to each other for sometime! Our hearts were joined together, our lives and destinies were connected! But we knew we had to go back and do what God has called us to do. Many pastors will be working together to win their villages! Pastor William will continue to go down the rivers and train! Pastor Gustavo will be back with a team from is church in January 2012 to do youth meetings! And we must continue to give and to pray to keep theses meeting going to give glory to God! The next conference will be in March 2012. We are expecting double and this year the church was packed! So I encourage you to make a generous donation today and invest in the men and women of God in the jungles and you to will have joy like a river!

Love you all! Thank you and God bless you
