La Rinconada, Peru Trip Report #1
Rinconada, Peru Trip - Report #1
Greetings! We had a wonderful start to our time here in Peru. Here are just some highlights.
Saturday 3/23 - We began our trip attending the Sat. PM youth group at the Lighthouse Church in Rinconada where Pastor Pelayo and all the youth were so excited to see us all! During the meeting, the youth group and the USA team took turns introducing themselves and telling a little bit about themselves. The entire team was moved as the youth shared about their struggles. Many of them are the only ones in their family that are saved. We were amazed at the young people's faith in God as they talked about the needs they have and asked for everyone to pray for their parents and siblings. They also encouraged each other to continue on in their walk with God. It was so beautiful! As we listened to each one, we cried, laughed and praised God for what He is doing in their lives. These young people really want to do something great for God and we know that He is going to speak into their lives during the youth conference this week! They are expecting a mighty move of God!!
Sunday 3/24 - It was a joy to be able to visit our friend, Pastor Gustavo, and his church on Sunday AM. The presence of God was so great in that place. Rev. Lautenbach preached on "Breakthrough" and what an awesome message it was! The people responded during the altar call, crying out to God, breaking through the walls that have hindered them from receiving God's promise for their lives.
This weekend was a great beginning and the team is doing wonderful! Thank you for your prayers! Stay tuned for our next report from visiting homes in the Rinconada community!
God bless you!

Our God is Awesome!
Greetings Friends!
This is Rev. Sanchez and Rev. Jerry Kalinsky and we have a great report to share with you from our recent trip to Victory Tabernacle in New Brunswick Canada. The presence of the Lord was with us every night and the church was excited and ready for God to have His way in services. Below are just a few testimonies of what took place while God’s presence moved in Canada.
As the Lord moved, we prayed for souls seeking salvation, and many received the infilling of the Holy Ghost. We can’t even write to you all the things that took place! It was just amazing! You know, the Lord said 'I will move but who will let it.' God wants to save, God wants to heal. God wants to do miracles. God wants to help you. We just have to let God be God and believe His Word in spite of the circumstances and situations! So before we go, we just want to encourage you with these words: It is not God’s will for the enemy to prevail over you! You can stand on God’s Word and stir up the gift that is in you. Then you must release God’s Word by faith! You must declare to sickness that 'by his stripes you are healed'! You must declare to the mountain 'be removed'! Then declare to every enemy that they are defeated! Declare to every principality and power that 'no weapon formed against you shall prosper'! Friends, God’s word will not return void! His blood has never lost its power! The anointing still breaks every yoke! And Victory is ours! Thank you Jesus!
God bless you

This is Rev. Sanchez and Rev. Jerry Kalinsky and we have a great report to share with you from our recent trip to Victory Tabernacle in New Brunswick Canada. The presence of the Lord was with us every night and the church was excited and ready for God to have His way in services. Below are just a few testimonies of what took place while God’s presence moved in Canada.
- There was a woman in the meeting who has been bound in a tormenting situation. The devil plagued her mind and no matter what she did she could not get free.. While the Word was being preached, she was loosed from the chains that imprisoned her! She began to run and leap and cry out to God because the anointing broke her yoke and she got her joy back and was completely set free!
- There was a man who had a bad back and shoulder pains for years. While he was praising God he felt the fire of God come upon his body. While this was happening he began to lift up his hands and when he did, he felt no pain! Jesus healed him! He could not stop shouting and praising God for touching his body!
- Pastor Mutch had been sick and he had problems with his foot. He could barely walk and was in such great pain, but when the power of God filled the church, God touched him and took his pain away! He was so excited he took off running and shouting around the church! He was healed! No more pain! Thank God the healer was in the house!
- There was also a lady with pain in her stomach. She went to doctors and saw a specialist. She even took various medications prescribed by various physicians. but the pain would not go away. When the Holy Ghost moved in the church she felt a fire hit the top of her head go clean through the body and when it left, so did her stomach problem! She kept pressing and pressing her stomach but she could not find the pain! God took it completely!
- There was an older man who was visiting from another church. He shared that he has never felt the power of God like he felt in these meetings! He went on to say that while Rev. Sanchez was praying for somebody else, he laid his hand on my shoulder and when he did, that’s when I got it! I got filled with the Holy Ghost and I started talking in tongues. This must be what the disciples felt like when Peter said, 'this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel', because God poured out his Spirit on me!
- One sister said that she had lost feeling in her hand due to a nerve condition, but when Rev. Sanchez told her to lay her hand on her neighbor, and she did, she felt a fire go through her hand. The sister she was praying for fell out under God’s power and then she fell out under the power of God. When she got back up she had feeling in her hand! God gave her a miracle!
As the Lord moved, we prayed for souls seeking salvation, and many received the infilling of the Holy Ghost. We can’t even write to you all the things that took place! It was just amazing! You know, the Lord said 'I will move but who will let it.' God wants to save, God wants to heal. God wants to do miracles. God wants to help you.

God is saving souls in the Dominican Republic!
Ministering at the Branch Churches
The pastors that God has had me working with, down here in the Dominican Republic, are all birthing new churches. Pastor Jimmy Rodriguez, my interpreter’s pastor, has just started a new church in the city of Santiago. They have no building, but they hold their meetings in a street next to the home of a sister in the church. There is an open field next to this home and they are believing for God to supply the funds so they could purchase this land and build a church there.
In the meeting tonight, the presence of God immediately took over. The Lord was pleading with people to hear His call for salvation. After I ministered, 8 people responded to this call, giving their lives over to Christ. Jesus faithfully saved every soul when they called upon His name. We are all rejoicing here for the great things the Lord is doing.
We were also invited to minister in an open field where the people are believing that God will give them a church building too. This is in a rural area, a little distance from the city of Santiago. About 60 chairs were set-up for the first outdoor revival meeting they have ever had in this area. These chairs filled up very quickly, and other people were standing. God’s presence fell powerfully, as it has been doing in all of the other meetings. At the altar call, 13 people gave their life to Christ. Our God is doing a quick work in bringing many people to himself and preparing them for his soon coming.
Into the Mountains to Minister
We were invited to a cool, mountainous region of the Dominican Republic called Constanza. The road to get into this area has an incredible amount of sharp curves and steep hills. There are farms everywhere here and the temperatures dip into the 30’s at night because the elevation is close to 6,000 feet above sea level. One of our night meetings here was on a dirt road in front of a small local market where a large group of people gathered to hear God’s word. There were more children than adults in this meeting. Every seat in the front row was filled with children. In one seat, 3 children huddled together because it was quite cold.
I preached tonight about how God’s call upon Samuel’s life began as a child. Every child in this meeting wanted prayer. 14 of them asked Jesus into their heart as their savior, and 7 adults also repented and turned their life over to Christ.
We are getting many invitations from Pastors in various regions of the Dominican Republic to minister in their churches and in large revival meetings. We are so thankful that God is dealing in so many lives and calling so many people to the foot of the Cross.
God bless you from the Dominican Republic

Report #3 - Dominican Republic
GIVING FOOD TO THOSE IN NEED
When I was here with Candy (my wife) in November, there was a flood that destroyed many homes. Today, we went out to visit two of the areas that the flood had affected. We purchased and distributed food to thirty eight families in the hardest hit areas, where many homes were totally destroyed. The Dominican government has placed many of these families in apartments, but the need continues to be great here, and the people are always thankful for any and all help they receive.
HAITIAN VILLAGE
We also went to one of the Haitian villages near Pastor Apolinaria’s Church. As we started ministering personally to the people sitting outside of their homes, God started speaking to their hearts. In the relatively short time that we had to minister, 14 people received prayer. Some received prayer for their salvation, some gave their life back to Christ, and others wanted God’s help to make the right decisions in life. Even though we minister as a group in 3 languages, English, Spanish and Creole, there is a wonderful unity among us. We are all led by the precious Holy Spirit.
GOD’S HEALING POWER
There was a woman, who wanted prayer, in an area where Pastor Apolinaria has started a new church. This woman told me she had breathing problems and feels at times like she is suffocating. She was also suffering from back pain. She told us, after prayer, that all the pain left her back and her breathing was perfectly normal! God is being glorified here for all the wonderful things he is doing!
God Bless you from the Dominican Republic,

More Good Reports from the Dominican Republic
God's Presence Visits the Radio Station
We were invited to minister on a radio program for 2 hours. We were like tag team preachers. We had 3 Dominican pastors and evangelists, 2 Haitian pastors, a church leaders, myself, and Brother Rafael, our tremendous interpreter. When the Dominican evangelist started to talk, the presence of God came into the room so strongly. God moved on the pastors in that radio room.
At the end of the broadcast, God's presence spread to the waiting room. People were trembling, crying, hugging each other and tears were flowing.
Preaching At the Outdoor Market
Today we went to preach at 2 market places. At one market place, the Haitian pastor was preaching the Gospel under the anointing of God. When he called the people forward for personal prayer, over 20 people rushed forward. The whole group, together, sought the Lord for their salvation. Tears were flowing down their faces.
The Sick Are Healed
Nine of us walked through the bustling city of Santiago for one and a half miles to pray for a young lady named Anna. She had not been able to walk without the aide of a walker, not even one step, for the last 3 years. Her body was slightly twisted. She has a young family and her face shows the pressure she lives under. Together, the nine of us continued to pray for her and worship God. God touched Anna and she got up out of the bed and started to walk, unaided, across the room.
She was battling fear in her mind. We continued to pray. Her whole countenance changed. Tears fells down her cheeks and a smile came across her face. She got up again and walked, one more time, across the room. Her husband came in the room and gave his life to Christ. While this was happening, her friend also came in the room and gave her life to Christ. We are definitely in the last days where God is pouring out His Spirit and doing signs and wonders among HIs people.
Visiting Other Cities
We have been receiving invitations to minister in cities that I have never visited before. We were in one church, in Esperanza, and you could tell that the pastor wanted a move of God, but many of the people in the church were bound and not lifting their hands up to worship God. It wasn't long until the Holy Spirit came down and changed all that. 5 souls came for salvation and the Lord spoke to many others, setting them free to worship Him.
The next church we visited was the same way. Once again, God came down in the service, visiting us with His presence and His word. Each person in this service came for prayer. Once woman's back was immediately healed. Those who sat in their seats, not entering into the service, were touched mightily by God at the altar. In every service, every person who was not saved came to Christ for salvation. The Lord is truly gathering in His harvest.
God bless you!
