WOW! You must really be praying because Ive never seen such an anointing on a trip as this one. This morning as we were having our devotion the Holy Spirit was so manifested that the entire team was on our faces worshipping and laying our lives before the LORD. We are confident that He has called us to something so far beyond what we are capable, that unless He intervenes we could not do it. And so we laid ourselves before Him in submission and He showed up!
Let me give you just a glimpse of whats been happening. On Monday and Tuesday alone we had over 250 professions of faith through personal evangelism! Many of these have begun discipleship already and today we are shifting our focus almost exclusively to following those new believers up and establishing them in the faith. A few stories . . .
One team yesterday was following up a new believer and his parents were in the house. When asked if they were believers they responded, maybe one day we will be. At this our team shared the gospel with them and then helped the new believer lead his own parents to faith in Christ!
In another location our team came upon a women{s sewing group in a house. Many of the women had already received visits in their homes but had not received Christ. When our team asked to pray over them and their babies the mothers started asking how they could know the peace that our team displayed. One of our young men shared the gospel and all 12 mothers prayed to receive Christ and will likely start a bible study out of a sewing group!
In the evening one group went around and invited many new believers in their area to a bible study and 15 showed up with their children. They had a wonderful time investing in those new believers lives.
There are MANY more stories I dont have time to share. I do want to ask that you be praying as our teams do follow up today and tomorrow. Then on Friday our team is going to do a community wide rally in a park. The Crossroads Band is playing, our youth are joining Peruvian youth to do a drama, and we will have a childrens program as well. This will take place from 4 til 8 pm on Friday so please pray. We expect hundreds or more to come to this as we are distributing tickets through the area.
The Spirit of the LORD is upon us and He has anointed us to preach the good news to the poor . ..
