More vision in 2008!

Father, in the name of Jesus, let us have more vision from this time forward. Let us see heaven and release what we see here on Earth! AMEN

Peru's first "Kids Crusade"! Over 2,000 in attendance!

December 29, 2007 marked a day in the history of Peru. Several locals told us no one has ever done an event like this in Peru. "Many come for the adults, but this is the first time anyone has come for the children" on Pastor told us. This was a vision the Lord gave us a year earlier (see last years blogs). To have a festival for families and children. And a party it was!!!!!!........2,000 breakfasts, lunches, candy, toys, hats, braclets, baloons, whistles, clowns, face painting, fireworks, and FREE MEDICAL CARE.

We brought 2 medical doctors with us and they were able to treat 178 families. We also brought medicines for intestinal parasites and administered almost a thousand doses! In addittion, we taught them how to prevent intestinal parasites. The event went great and every child was blessed and encouraged with over 4 hours of music and messages. Many thanks to those who gave into this ministry and into this event. Thanks for your prayers, finances, toys, and encouragement.

"Never this much warfare over an event"
Many of us involved in the planning of this event had an onslaught of Hell released on us over this event. On two ocassions, the event itself was canceled! But we stayed the course and found victory! The morning headlines were : "Terrorists leave red flags in 4 locations" It was clear to us that the enemy wants control over this geograpical area. Even 20 years ago it was controlled by the Shining Path terrorist group. But light shines in the darkness, and the Lord wants this region for His glory. The children are the future and so we will continue to bring in the light of the Gospel.

Going for the one.......

After the festival, we were led by the Spirit to a remote village up on the side of the mountain. It was a bumby ride on a dirt road about 3,000 feet abouve the valley floor. At first, there was only one little girl to meet us. "If one person is all we find, it was worth the trip" I said to Cindy Bettingfield, a wonderful woman of God joining us on the mission. More came, however, and we gave medicines, toys, bibles, and prayer to a dozen children and adults.

Not so fast........

Just as we were getting ready to leave, a truck came up the mountains carying most of the villagers. We chased the truck up the road on foot, throwing loli-pops to the travelers. The truck stopped and we offered to pray for the sick. "We don't come with just words, but with the demonstration of the power of God" I yelled. Three people were instantly healed, one of headache, chest pain, and heart pain. Lets just say Jesus got their attention! They were now open to our message. A simple message of love and purpose in life. They're hearts melted and nearly the whole truck wanted to renew thier faith in Jesus. Cindy led them in a prayer of repentance and over 15 souls called on the name of the Lord that day.
