Wednesday: NIGHT 1
"Step into the River of God"
25+ Salvations 40+ Re-dedications
What a powerful first night to start off the 3 nights of revival services. Just about a full house for a Wednesday night service. The spiritual hunger and expectation filled the room with power! The services began on Wednesday because the church calendar was already scheduled for the weekend. The pastor wanted to have these services for revival and renewal before we headed back to the states in mid-March.

Above (4) Photos: Altar Call - Night One. 25+ People coming to Christ and 40+ more rededicating their lives to Christ. In these larger meetings, its often hard to get exact numbers. Hands are counted when the decision for Christ is made. Following that, often more keep coming to the front in waves and it becomes hard to count.
TESTIMONIES FROM NIGHT 1
Dislocated Jaw Healed Knees Healed
Above Photo Left:
This woman said for many years she has had a dislocated jaw and was unable to open her mouth fully. During prayer she felt a pop and found her jaw was completely set into place. She could fully open her mouth without restraint or pain. Awesome!
Above Photo Right:
This man for the past four years had had painful knee issues relating to deteriorating cartilage. He was so happy and was jumping without pain. Amen!
Above Photo Left: This girl is on the church dance team. She had a bad knee and was in severe pain to dance. The Lord healed her knee and she is able to dance pain free! Praise God!
Above Photo Right: This man said he almost didn't come to church because the pain in his knees was to great. He previously had surgery on both legs. After prayer, he was running pain free! It's interesting, because each meeting carries a life of its own. It's common in services to see many people healed of the same pain or infirmity. On this night, lots of knees. Praise God! For some this may seem like such an insignificant miracle, unless its your own pain.

This was so emotional when this man described how the Lord delivered him from hate and anger in his heart. He wept with great joy as he testified before all the people about his new freedom.
Above Photo Right: This man said his sinuses were so bad he almost didn't go to church. During prayer when there was a word about sinuses being healed he believed it and put his hands on his sinuses. He said at that moment his sinus pain left and his breathing was completely normal. Amen!

Thursday NIGHT 2
"He Has Called us into His Glory"
40+ Salvations 25+ Re-dedications
The altar was full as the people streamed to the front to give their lives to Christ. Salvation is the greatest miracle of all! These revival nights build as people bring unsaved family and friends to hear the gospel. The night was full of the blessing of God, many were saved, healed and delivered. This newsletter does not have enough space for us to truly share all the great things the Lord did in these meetings.
Above two photos:
Altar call for salvation. The Bible says how can a man be born again, unless he is drawn by the Holy Spirit. The Lord is calling all, but we must make a decision to choose Christ. The Light of the Glory of the Lord was shining in this meeting. Hearts were exposed to the love of God.

TESTIMONIES FROM NIGHT 2
Youth being touched and impacted...
Above photo: This photo does not do justice what is represented here. The youth came forward to receive a touch of the Holy Spirit. They lined up shoulder to shoulder which stretched nearly wall to wall, the full length of the building. AMAZING! The outpouring of the Holy Spirit that touched these youth was electric. So many filled, renewed and lit anew. Weeping, repentance, restoration, healing and the light of God filled the hearts of this next generation.

As prayer went forth, one by one, the glory of the Lord began to touch and impact the lives of these youth. The Lord was moving not just at the altar but throughout the church building.

One woman came forward to testify that she was so bound in depression that she felt as if her mind and body were not connected. The doctors gave up on anyway to help her as nothing had worked. She testified on this second night of the revival meetings that after prayer on the first night, she had been playing, interacting and running with her children. Something she had not been able to do. A new freedom has come to her as she testified she was healed, delivered and now free.

This young man testified that he felt a dark battle over his life. He came as visitor this night. He grew up in church, but on that night he gave his life to Christ and was set free. He expressed how radically impacted he was.
PRAISE GOD!
Above Right Photo: This precious woman shared how her heart was full of anguish and the peace of God touched her and brought supernatural freedom.

Friday: NIGHT 3
"He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire"
15+ Salvations 30+ Re-dedications
Prior to the start of church there was such a great downpour of rain. In Brazil, because a
large portion of people walk, bike or take a bus, when it rains many don't go to church. As starting time approached, the room was thin with people. But, despite the heavy downpours, what had the potential to be an empty building for the third and final night of the 3 days of revival meetings,
ended up being almost a full house and the people came hungry for God.
One lady said, "I didn't care if I got here soaking wet, I came to be part of what is happening in this place."

Above two photos: On night 2
this little girl wanted prayer. She was unable to digest dairy and always got immediately sick if she had it. She was wanting to have milkshakes, so asked her mom to take her forward for prayer and asked Jesus to heal her. On night 3, she came forward to testify that after prayer and when the service was over the previous night, she asked her mom for a milkshake. Her mom said, she could not have it because it would cause her to get sick. The girl said, "mom, we prayed and I believe Jesus healed me". In response to this little girl's faith, the mom got her a big milkshake. She experienced no issues. The next day, she had dairy throughout the day and had no repercussions. So on this third night of the meetings, the little girl wanted to testify about her healing. AMEN!

This woman received a touch
two nights of the meetings. She is testifying that her scoliosis was healed and that she could stand
straight and all the pain in her legs and hips was gone.
Photo Top Right: This man is sharing testimonies on so many levels. One that his bad knees of many years were healed on night 1. Second, that he was healed and delivered from depression and a sense of a lack of worth. That a new joy flooded his heart. Thirdly, he shared about how when he watched the SOZO video that we played at the beginning of the service, that something was triggered in his heart. He could not say enough about how God was going to do great things through SOZO MOUNTAIN.

This woman said that on Night 2 the Lord healed her. Her foot was scheduled for amputation. It was totally purple and she had a hole in her flesh. As she was testifying here on night 3, she showed us how her foot was almost normal color and the open flesh was closed. She could stand and walk pain free, Wow! What a POWERFUL testimony! The Lord is no respecter of persons. We saw in these meetings the Lord touch all from the youngest to the oldest.

Above Photo: Concluding the three nights of revival services we had all the church leadership and workers come to the front for a time of prayer and impartation. What a powerful moment!
