Thank you God for Your love and grace. Thank You for letting us be here in this city and spread the gospel of Your love. You are awesome God and we give all the glory to You!
This day has been totally amazing! We could never have expected all this. We had a meeting with the pastors in Riohacha, this morning. Gary preached about spending time in God´s presence and to make it a priority to take time with God every single day. The Holy Spirit came and the pastors and their wives got down on their faces and God moved on them. Some wept, some laughed, others were silent… the atmosphere was really good.
After lunch we went to the prison to minister to the inmates. Most of us didn´t know what to expect and I was a little nervous when we came in to the first group of prisoners. It was many of them. They had a christian fellowship in the prison and he that brought us in there had worked as a missionary in the prison for 5 years. Three of us shared testimonies with them and 15–20 of them received Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Hallelujah! It was fantastic! The second group we ministered to had made presents for us. They were very happy to get visitors. They gave us a big urn made out of cardboard, newsletters and coated with colored pieces of stones. It´s really beautiful. We´ll bring it back to Moravian Falls. They also made two pair of sandals that two of the women in the group got. The rest of us got bracelets that they had made. It was very powerful to be there with them and to hear some of their stories. God bless all of them.
This evening Sanna, me and Jim, an awesome man on our team, went to preach and minister in a church on the outside of the city. It was only the three of us and a translator named Orlando. When we arrived 6:30 pm it was only 5–6 people there. The meeting wasn´t supposed to start until 7:30 pm so we had time to pray and prepare. Sanna asked God to send angels to gather people to come to the meeting. When we started to church was packed!! People stood in the doorways and all the seats were taken. The worship was terrific! They danced, jumped, clapped their hands and were full of joy. It was the perfect place. After about an hour of worship and prayer I got up to preach and it was really fun. The people responded and I preached about the gospel of love and that Jesus went about doing good, healing all those oppressed by the devil. 4 people made the decision to receive Jesus in their hearts! It made me so happy to be a part of that!
I had some words of knowledge and several people got up. One woman came forward and testified that God had healed her from a bad hip. After that we opened up for prayer for all who wanted. It was awesome! We saw many many healings. Sanna prayed for a woman with very poor sight and after she had prayed for her a couple of times she could read the small print in the Bible, when she hardly could see the large text when they started! I prayed for a boy, about 10–12 years old, who was mute. I prayed for him twice and after the second time he spoke! Praise GOD! He said that his name was Daniel
God is soo good! We also saw asthma, pain in the back, 4 others with poor vision and one with pain in her eyes healed plus many more. It was so many who wanted us to pray for them and we weren´t able to keep track of everything because we went from one to another. It was also 2–3 persons who got delivered from evil spirits today. Thank you so much, Jesus!
This was quite long and still it was only a little bit of what we have experienced today. Thank you for your prayers. You are truly needed and we appreciate all of you. This is as much your fruit as it is ours
God bless you and keep you! Love from Riohacha, Colombia
