Oh LORD, that you would rend the heavens and come down... Isaiah. 64:1

Above Photo: The weather showed 100% rain forecast throughout the entirety of the event. The clouds were dark and as people began to arrive at the plaza, the skies opened! The above photo is of the skies above the plaza square where the Manifest Outreach event in Porto Feliz, SP Brazil was held.The crusade event started at 7:30pm and ended about 11:30pm.

Shortly thereafter, the rain began to fall. God is good! You will be blessed at some of the testimonies from this event. See below.

Manifest Outreach Crusade

Porto Feliz, SP Brazil

February 13, 2018

13 Salvations

LORD REND THE HEAVENS TO COME DOWN!

This is the 1st outdoor evangelistic event in this city (50K population) where a few churches worked together. Oh how the GLORY of HEAVEN came! At least 13+ came forward to give their lives to Christ. The healings and miracles were beyond count. This was on the same night as the carnival celebration that takes place throughout Brazil. Carnival is similar to Marti Gras in the US, except more widespread and elevated on the sin factor. Its a night of drinking, open indecencies and witchcraft. It was said more people were at the neighborhood crusade than at the city's Carnival Celebration.

PRAISE GOD!

Above photos: Preaching the Good News of the Gospel, altar call for salvation, 13+ gave their lives to Christ.And then they started to pray for each other. Oh the Glory of the Lord that was in the Plaza!

Above Photo: The people came forward for healing and earnestly sought the Lord.

Above two photos: In the plaza of this needy area of town, the power of the Holy Spirit fell upon people. It's hard to convey all that the Lord did. If the Holy Spirit can't find a welcome in the church, He was certainly welcomed out in the public square. Many lives were saved, healed and delivered.

Above Photo Left: The young woman with the cell phone was in tears as she held her phone during the prayer time for the sick. We asked her who was on the line, and she said, "my mother at home, she has really bad knees." At the moment we prayed for her mother on the other end of the phone, the mother testified that she felt intense heat in her knees. The compassion that this daughter felt as she was believing God for a miracle for her mother was glorious! She could have sought a miracle for herself, but she was interceding for her mother's miracle.

Above Photo Right: This woman had a back injury that did not allow her to raise her arms, bend over or twist. God completely healed her from all pain and physical limitations. Jesus is so amazing!

Above two photos: There was a Word of Knowledge about someone who could not smell. Both this woman and man came forward. After prayer, both could smell & demonstrated it to all people present. Thank you God!

Above Photo Left: This young girl had TMJ and could only open her mouth half way. She said she was scheduled for surgery. The power of God touched her and she was completely healed. She was for the first time able to open her mouth fully and all pain left. HALLELUJAH!

Above Photo Right: This young man was suicidal and cutting himself. He came gave his life to Jesus at the crusade and when he was prayed for the Lord touched him in a powerful way. His countenance was changed! only wish we had an after photo to show you.

TO SUM UP THIS NIGHT

Here is a quote that was on a social media post from someone at the crusade event.

Sem comentários... Eu não sei se a gente subiu ou se o céu desceu... Mas que Deus estava naquele lugar... DISSO TENHO CERTEZA!

Without words ... I do not know if we went up or if heaven came down ... But that God was in that place ... OF THAT I'M SURE!

Shekinah Church

Maringa, PR Brazil

15+ Salvations & 25+ Re-dedications to Christ

This was a night to remember! The church had over 50 visitors and they did not even promote the service. The pastor said, I have no idea where all these visitors came from. When we see this, we know the Holy Spirit is at work. The altars were flooded with hungry people seeking a new life with Christ. It was hard to get an accurate count as people kept coming to the front. We try to distinguish between 1st time decisions for Christ and Recommitments. There were dozens of healings as the power of God was moving through this place.

Above Photo Left: Preaching and altar time. 15+ salvations and 25+ rededications to Jesus.

Testimonies from Shekinah

Above Photo Left: This girl had an issue with her spine that caused it to arch inward. She had been in severe pain and unable to sleep at night. The Lord completely healed her. Her back was checked out and her spine is completely straight. Incredible!

Above Photo Right: This girl was born with malformations. She's lived with pain and has undergone several surgeries. She felt the power of God touch her and felt the joy of laughter come upon her. All the pain left her knees and hands. She testified that she was healed of all pain. Amen!

Above Photo Left: This women had polio as a child. She had hip issues. She felt the Lord touch her hip and the pain left and she now has new freedom to twist and bend. Thank you Lord!

Above Photo Right: There are so many more testimonies as people were waiting in line to share what the Lord had done. Here are just a few more testimonies below...

- At the end of the meeting, a visiting mother brought her 5 year old daughter for prayer. The daughter was born dead and by a miracle was revived. The girl has had anxiety, sleepless nights, and was constantly trying to mutilate herself. The power of God came on so strong on this young girl. She became so hot. Just to touch her felt like fire on your hands. Sometimes during prayer, there are manifestations of God. The sense of heat is one of those. I believe a spirit of death surrounded this girl and on this night she was delivered. We declared the blessing of the Lord on her life to live out a full life and fulfill the dreams she has in her heart. What a great peace that came upon this child.

- A couple that could not have children came for prayer. They felt intense heat in their reproductive areas. We are believing God will give them the desires of their heart to have a child.

- A woman who had pins in her ankle had been suffering from limitations and severe pain while standing and walking. After prayer she had freedom, no pain and was jumping and running without issue. AMEN!

- A teenager came forward with such boldness to testify that while in her seat she felt her hip pop into place. She said she was sexually abused as a child and had hip issues all her life. The joy of the Lord on this precious teenager's face at receiving her miracle is what brings such strength to our hearts in being here in Brazil ministering the power of the Gospel. Thank you Jesus!

Débora's Column

Time is flying by here in Brazil! We have been so busy, that it is crazy to think that we will be back in KC in a couple of weeks again!

When we got back to Indaiatuba, Brazil this time, it was kind of sad.... we were officially back as just Mike and I (Sophia stayed in KC), and I found myself fighting back tears. In every season God is good, and I kept reminding myself to live today, in the present and be grateful for everything that we have the privilege to do and everywhere we have the privilege to be. The cost of being away from family is so great, but the blessing of obedience is greater. We have seen many great miracles, favor, provision, grace, salvations, and open doors. I am learning more and more to take each day, to live in the moment, to enjoy the time and to know that He has my future and my life in His hands and that I can FOR SURE trust in His goodness and love.

As you have seen in this newsletter, God is continually blowing our minds and expectations with His power and His desire to reveal himself. We feel completely humbled to be used by Him. I am so grateful for each opportunity, for each life that we see changed and for the many hugs we receive.

There is a great sense of expectation building in this city, and we see doors being opened and many more opportunities to share coming up. We have been able to counsel and pray with many pastors and wives and have seen God bring people into our lives that we can lock arms with and help encourage as they serve the local church.

Thank you so so much for all the prayers and for standing with us! we appreciate it more than we can say or think to repay.

Love you all!

Sound Guy Miracle

At the end of the "Manifest" crusade the owner of the truck that we used for the event told us that the man who owned and operated the sound equipment portion was not a Christian and he was too shy to ask for prayer. After the event, we went behind the truck as he was disassembling his equipment. He said his back was bad and it was difficult to work because of the heavy lifting that is needed. We prayed for him behind the truck where no-one was around. The power of God touched him and he was completely healed. He was such a simple man and so humble. Probably in his 60s. He said he had been doing this for over 30 years. When we asked him who healed him, in such a quite tone and simple faith he said Jesus. He prayed at that moment and asked Jesus to be His Lord and Savior. The bible says, when one is born-again, all the angels of heaven rejoice!

Thank you Jesus.

CAMP MEETING

Família da Fé Church

Camp Meeting

February 14, 2018

Michel preached and Debora led worship with the All Nations worship team on the second night of the 4 day camp meeting. This is the third year we have been invited to be part of the church's annual Camp Meeting. They had over 200 in attendance.

A great honor and blessing for us.

YOUTH ABLAZE!

SALVATION, HEALING'S & DELIVERANCE

Saturday Night February 24th we ministered to about 120 youth at the the Plenitude Church in Indaiatuba. There was something special in the air. God's presence in worship was electric as these youth worshipped and pressed in for deeper things with God.

We preached on Repentance and Holiness. The altar time was full of tears and lives being restored and renewed in Christ. The floodgates of heaven opened up as the Holy Spirit was pouring into the lives of this new generation. Tears of deliverance, joy and victory touched everyone present.

One youth who was visiting said, "How do we go on after this night? Nothing can compare. It was beyond imaginable! "

A fire in the Spirit was ignited this night. After 3 hours of worship, preaching and laying on of hands on nearly everyone present. It was both an exhausting and fulfilling night.

This was certainly a God ordained Saturday night, a primer of what's to come. We will be back at this church in a few days for 3 nights of revival services on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. February 28-March 2nd.

Please keep these upcoming meetings in your prayers.

A BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONY

We have a testimony the I would like to share with you. A church that we had recently preached in has been going through a difficult season.

It cost the All Nations Ministry about $1,500 in travel expenses and associated costs to be there. When we preach, we never ask for a dime. Our heart is that we are here to serve. The pastor insisted that we take their love offering of a few hundred dollars, and we did. I felt so uncomfortable and we did not believe the Lord wanted us to receive their money. The next day when the pastor was taking us to the airport, Débora and I returned their offering. They could not understand. We explained that we appreciated their love and desire but we felt the Lord did not want us to take it. The pastor's wife began to weep in the car. "We have never had this happen", she said. "We always want to give and be generous. Our offering to you was so small and not even enough. But it was all we had." She explained that they could not pay the rent that month. Wow! was all we could think. God is so amazing! We explained that we have supporters that fund the ministry and allow us to be here in Brazil as missionaries to preach the gospel. They really were taken back and so full of gratitude.

THANK YOU for being part of the All Nations Ministry and being part of what God is doing here. It is true that we could not be here without your love and support.

PASTORS MEETING

The Mayor of Indaiatuba called a special pastors meeting. We were invited to attended. The above photo is of the mayor and city council. Their goal was to coordinate more with the churches to have a greater impact to help reach out to the needs of the people in the city. Pastor Edson Rebustini, the senior pastor of Bíblica da Paz church in São Paulo and President of the Pastor's council in São Paulo, ministered the word. It was great to see Pastor Edson again, as he was one of our speakers at the pastor's fire conference we sponsored in Rio Claro back in October of 2014.

The new President of the Indaiatuba pastor's council pulled Débora and I aside and asked us to partner with him to do things in the city to promote church unity and outreach. We truly thank God for every opportunity to invest into His Kingdom!
