Zambia Team Report - Last Day of Conference

Rev. Robbie Grubb Reports:  It all comes down to this…after all of the expectation, anticipation, and nerves leading up to some of the best twelve days of my life, today is the last day!  There is brokenness in my heart knowing that we have to leave some of the happiest people I have ever met, however, my heart is also filled with joy in what Christ has accomplished in such a short time period.  From the moment we landed and came to Misisi Compound you could sense the connection that God would give us to these lovely people.  It is always shocking coming into a country and seeing the shoe-less feet, swollen bellies, dirty faces, and hardworking people that are fighting to survive.  I cannot help but to think back to meeting Bishop Misika and his smiling face; to even being introduced to Pastor Nicholas and his once very shy little children. I can remember God burdening me to pray for a small boy whose eyes were not whole, to the first service where people found deliverance and even the strongest demonic forces had to go.  All I can think in my mind right now is WOW!  How blessed and favored we have been with this opportunity.  I could not imagine now not having this priceless experience in my life.  From the many hours laboring for people raising money, to the countless messages preached sharing the vision God had placed in me for Zambia; all the work, sweat, and tears was worth it to be right here!  I could not have had this ministry changing experience without all of the support, prayers, and sacrifices that my family, church, WWLM Inc., my friends, and various pastors gave to help me come to Lusaka, Zambia.  I am blessed to have the support group that I have.  Time goes on, but moments in time affect the outcome of your life; the moments I preached to the church, held fatherless babies, interceded with broken people, and laid on the floor to birth my Samuel.  All the messages, moments and prayers will transform my ministry forever.  When I lay my head down to sleep at night I cannot help but to see the kind people of Lusaka in my mind.  They have imprinted their character, emotions, and love in me and I am thankful for that.  My heart is broken today for a people that could use more physically, but have everything they need to succeed spiritually; Christ, the Holy Ghost, and love.  I cannot wait to see how far God takes these people.  My body will be home in Kentucky in several hours, but part of my heart and Spirit will stay here with these people. Until very soon… I love you Lusaka!



Evangelist Joshua Bell reports:  Since it was my last day I had such a strong desire to sing a song that I learned in Nyanja, “There Is No One, There Is No One Like JESUS.”  As soon as I opened up my mouth with the first words, the entire church erupted.  People were shouting, dancing, and singing along with me!  Reverend Robbie even began to dance like his fellow African brothers and sisters.  It is a moment that I am glad that I did not miss.

As soon as I woke up this morning the Lord began to speak to me a message that I felt was just for these people, “It Is Only A Voice.”  I began to speak from my heart about specifically what a voice is, what voices we listen to, and how the enemy can trick us with his voice.  Our nature is to only listen to people that are in authority over us and that have influence in our life.  That is the main point that I was trying to get people to understand.  The enemy uses his voice very loudly in our life, but he does not have authority over us.  He is under our feet!  Christ has the authority to speak into our lives; this is what I wanted the church to comprehend.  The message went great and the altar call went even better!  Souls came forward seeking God to speak into their lives.

I am so thankful for each and everyone that supported me on this journey.  I can’t help but to sit and think about how this trip has changed my life and ministry.  It is an experience I never would have been able to take part in without my family, friends, church and WWLM Inc. helping me along the way.  I know God will bless you all tremendously for sacrificing to send me here.  Every soul saved, you had a part in.  Every soul delivered, you had a part in.  I want you to remember that most of all.  Zambia has stolen my heart.  Though it hurts, I am glad God has connected me with these people.  I love them! And they will always be in my prayers!



Rev. Sanchez Reports:  The last night service was wonderful.  From the very beginning to the very end of the service, God moved mightily.  I taught today on the cry of Hanna.  It was a message on desire and birthing things for the kingdom of God.  The Holy Ghost really moved in the church in a powerful way.  Pastors and leaders began to cry out for God to bring forth His desire in their ministries. Leaders and young people fell out everywhere in the church in travail!  Great healings took place in this service!  We received reports of back pain, stomach aches, head aches, and pains people have had for years just lifted off their lives as the Holy Ghost began to move through the church.  Many young children at the altar were baptized in the Holy Ghost and began to speak in tongues as the Spirit gave them the utterance.  The power of God swept through the church.  Our driver that drove us all week came to the altar and asked Jesus into his heart! It was amazing!

The Power of God was present, moving and dealing with lives. All over the church, people were on their knees and laying across the floor.  There was a deep move of the Holy Ghost.  People crying out to God could be heard all over the church.  Many people gathered together at the church gate desiring to come inside because of the drawing of the Holy Ghost and they were ministered to.  Sister Saunders said she has not been in a meeting like this in years.  She said she could not move from her seat because the power of God was so strong.

Rev. Robbie Grubbs and Evangelist Joshua Bell were saturated by the Holy Ghost and laid across the altar, crying out to God.  The longer the service went on the more powerful it became!  People were walking all over the church, crying out to God and talking in tongues!  Elders were praying for one another, young children were praying for adults, the power of God was everywhere!  When I looked at the time it was now 10:30 pm and God was still moving!  God’s glory was filling the church. Teenagers were crying out to God; it was amazing!  Then the power went out and it was pitch black.  All we had was a few little lights from cell phones, yet it did not stop the power of God!  We watched people getting prayer and falling out under God’s power in the dark.  Little children were being carried out because they were saturated by the Holy Ghost!  There was no stopping this meeting; God was moving!

We left the church very late but the power of God was moving even while we were leaving!  You could hear the saints of God crying out and talking in tongues, even in the overflow rooms!  It was reported that the meeting went on another two hours and finally they carried people out and the meeting ended in the church sanctuary around 1am but continued in the various rooms until God was finished!  It was a blessing and we thank you all for praying!
