Wow, God is good, all the time. We have had more incredible services and experiences. There is no doubt that we continue to fall in love with God’s people here in this nation. As we share team devotions each morning we get a glimpse of what God is doing in each of us. I have posted pictures on our website that briefly tell the story of our ministry Sunday and Monday. Sunday morning our rides arrived and we went in many different directions. It was hard to split up because we didn’t want to miss what God would do, but we knew it was our assignment.

Pastor Garcia, along with James and Robin Cook, went with Bishop Emmanuel to a small rented facility where Bishop moved his church service because he knew so many would come. The place was packed and the move of the Spirit was evident. After the service they passed out gifts we purchased for the children.

The rest of us were taken to small churches either in the city or in the outskirts. There are pictures attached of three of the small churches we ministered in just to give you an idea of the places where they worship. Most of us were ministering alone with a national pastor to interpret so it was hard to get pictures as we ministered. Jamal was in a church here in the city, Robin Rogers and Barbara went to a church that also housed orphans. They shared their testimonies and 7 people got saved! Richie and I were taken way out of the city to two separate churches—what a beautiful country with lush tropical trees and plants. It was so much fun coming back together and sharing what God had done.

Sunday evening Bishop called a special service at his house church because there were so many that could not get in the service where Pastor preached on Sunday morning. When we arrived the place was packed—half of them were young people. God moved powerfully through Pastor’s message. The young people packed the altar. One woman was called out by the Lord through a Word of knowledge and was set free of a breast disease.

Monday morning we loaded up and went to the city jail where approximately 120 of the 310 inmates (men and women) came to the service. After praise and worship, Pastor preached and we laid hands on all of the prisoners. Afterward we passed out care packages with some basic necessities to the inmates. The good news is that while we were God opened the door for Bishop to come once a week to the prison to disciples those that were saved (approximately ½ of them raised their hand for salvation). Woohoo.

Tonight we are preparing for our street crusade (I use the word street loosely, for it is a hard-packed dirt road that runs between the seaside and the river with shacks along each side of the road. There are families that live there and also many children that roam the street begging rice or anything they can find to eat. The crusade will start at 4:30 your time—so pray for us!
