Souls Saved and Bodies Healed!

God continues to move in the Dominican Republic.  Rev. George Teachman reports...

God Moves Upon the Doctors…
We were in the office of a Christian doctor that I know in the city of Santiago. At the end of the visit, we all prayed with her that God would bless her clinic.  We all know that God is pleased with the work that she is doing for those in need in her nation.

On another occasion, we were ministering in a service where a woman, who is a doctor, came up to us for prayer for her salvation.  She told the interpreter that she didn't feel worthy to come to the Lord.  We told her that she was worthy and that Jesus died for her personally.  She wept as we led her to Christ.  Her son also gave his heart to the Lord.  He was so overcome with joy that he started dancing to the music that was being played! That was his way of expressing the joy that he felt when he was in the presence of God at the altar.  
                                                                                                         
The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit…
There is a group of 5 of us that have been traveling together and ministering to the people in different churches, on the streets and in homes.  Many people are telling us that as soon as we pray for them the Lord is healing them.  One woman asked for prayer for her back and stomach, which was in continual pain.  She told us that after we prayed all the pain was gone!

Another woman, who had a lot of pain in her breast and her upper back, was instantly healed.

Another Christian man from Haiti asked us to pray for him and the Holy Spirit came down on him very powerfully.  He started shouting in a loud voice and he was crying and shaking under the presence of God.

We give all the glory to God for healing the people, saving their souls and filling people with the Holy Spirit on the streets and in the churches here in the Dominican Republic.

And the Church Was Packed…
We are in a mountainous area, on the border of Haiti, called Restauración. The church we were asked to minister in was too small to accommodate all the people that came out to the service tonight. There was almost as many people outside the church, crowded around the open windows and doors, as there was inside the church building.  The people in this area are very hungry for God and His word.

The same thing happened tonight that happens in every service.  When the service was turned over to our team, the Holy Ghost started to fall upon the people.  Many of the people started rejoicing and trembling under the power of God.  As in many of the services here, the altar area rapidly filled up with large groups of people seeking prayer for salvation, healing, deliverance and their personal situation.  You could smell alcohol on the breath of one man who kept motioning to us to pray for him.  After we prayed with this backslidden man, that God would restore him, he was so full of joy that he wanted to hug us over and over again.  One pastor came for prayer for liver and back pain.  He had been in pain and hadn’t been able to sleep well and was having difficulty eating.  The Lord healed him immediately!  He went home, ate a full meal and came back to the next night’s service to give his testimony.  Every person, including the leaders of the church, were blessed and touched by God tonight!                                                                        

Revival in the Park...
A one-night revival service was set up for us in the central municipal park.  Right across the street, there was a store which had a large television that was broadcasting a Dominican national baseball game (baseball is the national sport here).  There was a small group of men seated in front of this television, but there was a large group of people seated on the edge of the park.  There were people standing and the crowd continued to swell as the meeting progressed.  When the Holy Spirit started moving, many of these men, who were watching the baseball game, would turn around and watch what was happening in the meeting.

As usual, a large group of people came forward for prayer.  One lady, who was a principal of a local school, asked Jesus into her heart as her Savior.  Her eight year old daughter also accepted Christ at the altar call.  She told us that the next time we are in the area she would love to have us minister to all the students in her school for they are in great need.

Many, many people came to Christ tonight. And we all left this park full of the joy of the Lord.

God bless you from the Dominican Republic,
Rev. Teachman
