An Entire School in the Presence of God!

This morning we all went to the Jorge Bardales Ruis Elementary and High School. We were given to opportunity to share a word of encouragement with the entire school. All teenagers lined up in attention with great excitement. Their were over 600 students present and they all sang their national Anthem and a few other songs. Then the Principal got up after sharing a few words and introduce us. We presented the school with some new basketballs and soccer balls because we found out that they needed them. The students clapped and cheered. They were so grateful and excited that we would think to bless them with gifts for their school. 

           After we presented the gifts Pastor Williams invited the students and teachers to come to his church. He also spoke to the youth about coming to his youth meetings and conference in August. Then Ben greeted the young people and encouraged them to work Hard in school because they are the future of Lima the next generation of doctors, teachers and pastors. The young people really listened. They focused on every word that was spoken.

            As soon as Ben was done, I (Rev. Sanchez) shared how we were fearfully and wonderfully made. I spoke about how God has a plan for each and everyone of our lives. God put within us all different gifts and talents to help us fulfill our purpose. Then God gives us the church and pastors, schools and teachers, coaches and parents to all help teach, train, guide and impart in us everything we need to fulfill our destiny. As I looked around their were teachers crying and wiping the tears from their eyes because they were so touched by Gods word. And as I looked at the students tell were hanging on to my every word like a life line. God was talking to hearts, Gods was challenging a generation.

I went on to share about a dream. I told them anyone can dream! No matter where you are, no matter where you were born. From the richest to the poorest God has given every man the ability to dream. And dreams have no limitations. And God said I can do exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask or think so dream big!  

As I close my thought I spoke of  to Alexander Graham bell and how he dreamed to make a phone and about Henry Ford and how he dream to make car. Then I spoke about the Wright brothers and how the dream they could make a machine to fly. All these men failed in their attempts to succeed but they got back up and kept dreaming. They never let failure rob them of their dream! They never let discouragement or disappointment rob them of their dream! But they kept going forward believing that one day what they dreamed would become a reality and it did! The bible says I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me!

So never let anyone or anything steal your dream.  And when you have Jesus in your heart, Christ will send the Holy Ghost to give you power and lift you up and helped you accomplish the dream.

God moved on his word. I saw some young children listening with tears flowing. I saw others students that started off listening with their heads bowed to the ground but as the word went forth they lifted up their eyes because  faith was released in that school. Their was a great stirring as God’s word went forth. The teachers told us that the speakers caused my voice to go out from the school and into the street. Then people gathered in the entrance way of the school just to listen to the message. We were told that Many people stopped on the streets outside of the school to hear the entire message. The principal and all the teachers were so touched and moved by God’s presence.

Rev. Teachman closed in prayed and all the students and teachers prayed with him. You could fell the power of God all over that school! After we left one of the teachers came to me and told me that all the teachers were talking and they all have said they never felt the power of God move in the school like that before. They knew that God had sent us and wanted to thank us. The coach came over to me and said he was going to be bringing his entire soccer team to church because they need God in their lives to be successful. We also have an open invitation to come and share God’s word with the school anytime! Pastor William is so excited because this was the open door he had been praying for. God is stirring up the town! The doors are wide open , the harvest is white and ready! I believe that we are about to see the biggest revival takes place in the jungle than we could have ever imagined!

God bless you and thank you for your continued prayers!
