Our Upcoming Brazil Trip

The plans for our ministry trip to Brazil are well under way. God continues to amaze us as He brings to us those He desires to join us in our Kingdom work. He has put together a small team that will travel to Brazil to work alongside Missionary/Pastor Timothy Pugh in a week-long crusade called, “The God of Dreams, The God of Purpose, The God of Destiny.” We are praising God as funds continue to come in to allow Him to use us for His purposes during this crusade. We are believing that He will “supply all our needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus!” (Philippians 4:19).

God has chosen and set apart Debbie Milton, Miriam Walker, Matthew Chesser, and Alissa Jean to join in on what He has planned for Campo Grande, Brazil, from July 10-23. Debbie will be ministering in several churches prior to the Crusade, Miriam brings along with her a heart to minister to women, and Matthew and Alissa are bringing along with them a passion to minister to the children and youth.

Our itinerary will be posted soon—watch our website and continue to pray for us as He sends us to Brazil to carry His Manifest Presence so that hearts and lives can be changed.

Sunday- Our last session

Sunday arrived once again with much anticipation of what God was going to do. He didn’t disappoint us, for once again the praise and worship invited God to manifest His Presence. Maggie and Jesus were honored to be able to serve communion to the church body. Everyone in the church made a big circle and received the communion elements as a large family. It was a beautiful time with the Lord. Once again, the Holy Spirit anointed Maggie’s interpretation as Debbie challenged them to become men and women that will rise up in faith and grab hold of God’s will in heaven and bring it into the lives of the Costa Ricans here on earth. This final service ended in prayer and praise and the Holy Spirit was given freedom to do His work in and amongst His people. Wow, what an awesome God we serve!

As the weekend came to a close, the testimonies began to flow revealing that God had confirmed His work through the miraculous. We know that He will continue to move in this local body and we expect to hear of His great and might works through this pastor and those He called to join Him in advancing His Kingdom Costa Rica.

Photos from the conference are posted online at our website. Make sure and check them out, they will help tell the story of our amazing weekend.

Saturday's Sessions

Saturday morning was a more intimate time as the ladies gathered in the sanctuary. After more praise and worship, Maggie brought forth a teaching to the women in their own language. This first session was followed by a group activity that allowed the women to interact, laugh, and share what God was doing in their lives. In the second session, Debbie challenged the women to arise and go forth, confident of their beauty in Christ, to be who God called them to be, and do all God called them to do. During the altar time God spoke to many about His purpose and destiny for their lives, encouraging them and building up their faith. A time for testimonies glorified God for all He did in their lives.

After a short rest on Saturday afternoon, the church was again filled to capacity as they gathered for their regular Saturday night service. The women were encouraged to return, and many that had planned to return to their homes stayed for one more encounter with God. Once again, the praise and worship brought everyone, men, women, and children into God’s presence. Debbie brought forth a teaching on the partnership between men and women, both in the home and in the body of Christ, challenging them to bind together in unity to accomplish the will of God in their homes, relationships, church, community and nation. The altar time once again allowed the Holy Spirit to do a mighty work in their lives.

What were the guys doing all this time? Working at the camp! Franklin was thankful to have extra hands in hanging the metal siding. The structure was finally looking like a building. They returned Saturday afternoon with sore muscles and funny stories.
