Equipping Saints in Brazil

My Dear Friends and Intercessors,

The last two weeks have been a very exciting time for us here in Brazil. The Churches that brought us here are very small and poor but so hungry for God and for His will to be done in and through them. I wish I could see this in believers of larger churches.

Our ministry is being very well received. Apart from ministering to individual people, we have ministered at each of the five churches and conducted weekend seminars and workshops for the churches combined. It has been awesome. One of these churches in in the worst crime area in all of Brazil. We ministered there and over fifteen people came to Christ. Many of the young people from this church attended the Equipping seminar on Evangelism and Discipleship. Every night of the week including Saturday nights there is an all night prayer meeting at these Churches. That is how hungry they are for God.

Even though I am teaching with an interpreter, I have never seen people so motivated and excited about working for God. This past weekend many of then brought people that they led to the Lord during the course of the week using the information from the previous weekend. How is that for activation. In each church even though I was just explaining the content of the Gospel and explaining why it must be shared and how to share it and what to expect when it is shared, great conviction came on all the unsaved people there and they came to receive eternal life.

Each weekend there were about 200 hundreds people in the equipping seminar and workshops. Even though I was teaching these people the Lord was teaching me some new things. New revelation was coming as I taught.
In one church a young man came who had left the church and joined satanism. All through the service he was so restless and the lord led me to emphasize the superiority of the power of Christ and that Jesus has given this same power and authority to every believer to not only preach the gospel of the kingdom but to demonstrate it by casting out demons and healing the sick. At the end of the service this young man was in the group that came to Christ. He renounced satan and his power and confessed Jesus as his Lord. His whole family joined him at the altar. There was great rejoicing. In another church a Japanese lady testified that she had a lump the size of an egg on her leg the week before when I laid hands on her. The lump disappeared and has not returned. Women rejoiced to see their husbands whom they were praying for for years come to Christ in these services. Many believers had the faith for the first time to lay hands on the sick and pray for them expecting that God would honor their faith.

There were some personal benefits too, like the Lord speaking to the Leading Dentist in Brazil to clean our teeth and he ended up doing several fillings for us in the most sophisticated facilities I have ever seen. He just wanted to be a blessing.

Thanks for praying for us. I want you to know that it is by your Praying and those who give that we are able to do what we go. Through you God will raise up many more laborers for this end time harvest. Every soul that come to Christ and every Saint that is equipped and Activated through this Ministry, you share in. Thanks for your Faithfulness.

PRAYER NEEDS:
For open doors. Churches and Leaders whom God is preparing and are ready to Equipped and Activated.
For Churches and Individuals who will give Financial support to this ministry so we can continue to work the works of God.

We look forward to hearing from you.
Basil and Marion.
