We had three nights of meetings in Dourados. Dourados is a city of a few hundred thousand people in the farm belt of Brazil. We were first in this city with Pastor's Sebastião and Lucia 1 1/2 years ago. We remember the powerful meetings we had then. It was good to be back for these three days of meetings that were full of Glory and Presence.

HOLY SPIRIT impacts the children

   

 

 

Above Photos : Jesus said, "Don't hinder the children, let them come to me." 

 The environment was charged with the presence of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit sovereignly moves upon the children in a meeting, like the one we experienced here, heavenly things are taking place. It's an environment of angelic activity on earth. It was a sovereign move fo God. There was not a moment in the service when the children were called out. It was solely a specific work of the Holy Spirit that moved upon the hearts of the children and drew them to Himself. It's authentic, its sovereign and it's a Holy moment.

125 + Activated in Power of Holy Spirit

Friday night Débora ministered to about 250 women at a dinner banquet. 

On Saturday and Sunday night we preached and focused on "Activating" the  believers  in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Above photo: When the call was given for those who wanted the baptism of the Holy Spirit  and to be activated as soul winners, the response was overwhelming.

Every believer has a part in the Kingdom of God and an anointing to fulfill the purposes of God in their lives. Coming into that awareness and activation is life changing. NEVER THE SAME!

FIBROMYALGIA HEALED!!!!

Above Photo:  After the service this woman came and asked for prayer.  She was in severe pain from Fibromyalgia. When the power of God hit her she was instantly freed. She was running all over the place. You can see the victory on this woman. This is one we wish there was a video for. 

Above Photo Left: This little girl was suffering from severe attention and anxiety issues and the teachers had little patience and did not treat her well.  During prayer over her, I saw her riding a horse in the wilderness in freedom and peace as her dress blew in the wind as the horse galloped. The horse had a beautiful smile as it carried this girl with honor. A beautiful vision! 

We trust and believe this girl lives in supernatural peace and freedom from this day forward. 

Above Photo Right: This woman is a small group leader and was asking prayer for more wisdom and knowledge of the Word to be able to pour into people. Wow, love that!

Above photo left: This girl's father had an affair and abandoned the family.  She had suffered so much during the past year, and she asked for prayer. God's love touched her powerful way. THANK YOU JESUS! 

Above photo right: The aunt (to the girl on the left) was there and also received a touch from the Lord as the burdens she carried for her niece and sister weighted so heavy on her. She was filled with a spirit of joy and laughter. FREEDOM. The aunt is the mother of the girl in the pink.  This young girl was deeply impacted by the Holy Spirit. This whole family was marked by the touch of Jesus this night.  

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING TO WITNESS.

Above photo left:  This little girl's mom said that she lost her husband. She works at night and has to leave her 3 kids home alone. She had left her house with her kids looking for food and for help and had come to the church in the afternoon, so after the church donated food to her family she was invited to stay for the service. She said that her little girl was struggling without her father and when she got this hug, it was a fatherly hug of love and affirmation.The mom was so so happy. PROPHETIC HUG.

Above photo right: A lady asked for prayer for her daughter who was rebelling and rejecting God. Afterwards Débora talked to the daughter and asked her if she wanted an encounter with God. She affirmed she did and Débora led her in a prayer of salvation. Amen!

Above photo: Seeing families come to the altar to seek the Lord and surrender all to Him is a breathless moment to witness. God is desiring to redeem families and rewrite stories.THANK YOU GOD for the humility of family units that turn to you.

WOMAN'S BANQUET

Above photos: Friday night Débora ministered to the women at a banquet event. The theme was "women of purpose." 250 women were present with 100 plus being visitors. It was a great opportunity to present the Gospel. Many came forward at the end for prayer. The impact showed as the women cried and talked late into the night afterwards about what                       they received from the Lord.

Before the Sunday night service Pastor Sebastião and his wife Lucia took us to the outskirts of the city to where 20K native Brazilian Indians live in the utmost of poverty. No running water, no electricity and shelters made out of scrap material. 

We were not prepared for what we encountered.

 

eating the insides of discarded medicine capsules they found in a trash bag someone had thrown there. Hunger knows no boundaries. 

Our hearts immediately broke.

The baby (being held by pastor Lucia) was from a nearby house and the mom sent the sister and baby over to ask for milk, because she was completely out of it. The chief also explained to us that his bicycle was broken and he did not have a way to go into town and beg. We immediately made arrangements to get the baby milk and asked the pastor to have the youth in the church do a fundraiser to get the chief a new bike. 

Above left photo: The girl on the left was raped by her brother. The reality of life here on this reservation cannot be fathomed.  

Above right photo:  This boy was buried alive by his mother and he was rescued by the chief's wife at the last minute, because his little six year old sister came over sobbing and screaming for help.

   

Above Two Photos:  Water is limited with only enough for cooking so there is no bathing or washing clothes. The house is build out of scrap materials.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE...

 

Above two photos:  This is the community water well for the families in this section of the reservation. It's full of mud and flies. It is not fit for human consumption, yet it's their only water source. It's supply is limited and is only enough for cooking and drinking. 

This is an injustice that has provoked our hearts.  We must get this community clean water for drinking and bathing. We would like to find the funding to drill a proper water well with enough clean water to provide drinking and cooking water. As well as, plenty of water for bathing and washing clothes. Please keep this situation in prayer.  

We asked pastor Sebastião and Lucia who brought us here to see the situation why nothing is being done? No water, no electricity and limited food.  The money government provides gets redirected because of corruption. It's a sad situation. While people in the city prosper with abundance this group of 20K indigenous people are left to fend for themselves, forgotten. 

BUT NOT FORGOTTEN BY GOD.   

Animals are cared for better than this.  

When a situation like this comes to our attention, we must act with love, compassion and expedience.Somehow, when we get back to Brazil after the Corona Virus lockdown is over, we will get a proper well dug for these people. PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS.

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.  Isaiah 43:19
