Brazil Mission Trip — Day 6 & 7

Posted on by

Hi,
The last few days of the mis­sion trip we were both too tired to take time writ­ing on the blog. It was all really good, but all the meet­ings, and get­ting up at 8 am and in bed at 2 am made it dif­fi­cult for us not to rest in the breaks we had :)

I´ll quickly tell you some of the sto­ries from the last days in Brazil. We went to a youth meet­ing one night. The youth had a full day at a school gym. They were wor­ship­ping, danc­ing, play­ing, pray­ing. All the good stuff. We came in the evening and Chase preached to them. After that we all went around and prayed for them and blessed them. They were really really hun­gry! Many of them got very much touched by the Father. A lot of them ended up on the floor rest­ing in His pres­ence. It was good.
On our way our from that meet­ing, one of our inter­preters, Paula, stopped me. It was only her and I left in there from the team. She had been pray­ing for a man that had told her that his left eye was com­pletely blind! She had me come over to pray for him too, and together we prayed for him. Sanna and Chase came back also and we prayed for him, about a minute or so. Then he opened his eyes again, cov­ered up his right eye, and started read­ing a poster that was on the wall! Did you get that?! His left eye had been healed and he can see now!!! WOW! That thing right there makes me very very happy. Thank you Jesus for giv­ing him his sight back. Great!

Brazil Mission Trip — Day 2

Hi again!

It´s a lit­tle past 5 pm now and we´ve been to a meet­ing this morn­ing. It was for pas­tors and min­is­ters, and we´re going to have a meet­ing like that every morn­ing this week. In a cou­ple of hours we´re going to have meet­ings in three dif­fer­ent churches. Gary Oates, Chase Turner and I are preach­ing and invit­ing the pres­ence of our Holy God to come be with us to save the lost, heal the sick and free those bound by the devil. It´s going to be very good! Jesus is always good! Please pray for us. I´ll update this note later to let you know some of the things that is going to hap­pen. Thank you all for part­ner­ing with your prayers. We love you all very much!

Hugs from Kris­ter and Sanna

Update:
It´s been a fan­tas­tic evening! The meet­ing was very good. God showed up, the wor­ship was glo­ri­ous, peo­ple were hun­gry. I didn´t know what to preach on as I came there this evening, but Holy Spirit didn´t leave me speech­less. He really came and thanks to Him there were many peo­ple healed tonight! Our team, con­sist­ing of Sanna, Jim (our faith­ful team mem­ber from the Colom­bia trip in Jan­u­ary!) and myself did impar­ta­tion with every­body in the church. It was great! It took some time because there was over 200 peo­ple in the church, but it was per­fect. We want peo­ple to be able to step into the things that we preach. Since they believe they also can lay hands on the sick and see them recover. So that was my focus. To help them see who they are in Christ, and what author­ity and power they carry as sons of God.

I had a few words of knowl­edge and had peo­ple stand up for me to pray over them. God sov­er­eignly healed 39 peo­ple of var­i­ous con­di­tions!!! Jesus you are the sav­iour of the world! It was so great! One lady used a walker and had done that for a cou­ple of months because of a knee surgery that left her off worse than before. She couldn´t bend her knee… after I prayed over her and some other peo­ple that stood up she was able to bend her knee again and she came up using her walker. I asked her why she still had the walker and so she tried to walk with­out it; and she did! Glory to God! She walked back and forth, bet­ter for every step. In the end when she was going back to her seat, she just folded together the walker and lifted it up! It was so glorious!

One woman gave her life to Jesus for the first time, and two men that had been walk­ing away from Jesus, reded­i­cated their life to the Lord. Tears were stream­ing down their faces as they had seen the power of the only liv­ing God man­i­fest in their midst. They wanted to come back and walk with Jesus again. Hal­lelu­jah, there´s a party in Heaven right now!

After the meet­ing we were invited out to eat pizza. The trans­la­tors didn´t come so we ended up with 50 peo­ple from church, with nobody to trans­late! It was both fun and inter­est­ing. The pizza was very good, even though we couldn´t com­mu­ni­cate very well with the peo­ple there. We left 12:30 am and went back to the hotel; tired, but full of joy. Thank you for every­thing you did tonight, Holy Spirit!

Dear friends,

Sanna and I are now in Bauru, Brazil. It´s a city in Sao Paulo and it´s one of the smaller cities around here. From our hotel room bal­cony on 14th floor, we can see houses as far as the eyes reach..! It looks like a big city to me… The rea­son why we are here is to do a mis­sion trip with Gary Oates Min­istries. It´s 23 of us here with the group and we all look for­ward to see what God is going to do this week. We arrived this morn­ing and drove 4–5 hours by bus to get to the hotel in Bauru.

Tomor­row we´re going to have a morn­ing meet­ing in a church and then we will go to 3 churches in the evening. Gary will be preach­ing in one church and then two of the interns will take one intern each and a part of the team and go to the other two churches and preach. It´ll be great fun! There is always a lot of peo­ple saved, healed and deliv­ered on these trips, and God shows up big­time! Thank you Jesus for being with us!

Please pray for all of us. Sanna and I will prob­a­bly preach once or twice each so please keep us in your prayers. Please pray that God will use us and that we will not be in the way of what He wants to do for His chil­dren here.

Thank you so much and God bless you!
Love, Kris­ter and Sanna

Third Day in Riohacha

Hola,

Today we have been in three dif­fer­ent orphan­ages and we met some truly won­der­ful chil­dren and peo­ple who were help­ing them. It was won­der­ful! Some moth­ers had come with their chil­dren to the church who work with the last group we vis­ited, and they were not chris­tians. By the way, that was in the same church our group went to last night. I don´t know how many but some of them said yes to Jesus today! There´s a party in heaven today!

God Does Miracles in Riohacha, Colombia

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.
