Miracle Thursday in Zone 2

Hello again, I just wanted to tell you a little about what happened this past Thursday.  I was in a coffee group in zone 2 with pastor Raul and the Guardians of that zone.  We entered into a place that was filled with people who were catholic and filled with people from the MS 13 gangs.  At first I was a little nervous seeing all of the gang members in the zone but in that moment a sweet presence of the lord came over me and I just became overwhelmed with the power and presence of the Lord.  At 7pm that night we started the coffee group there were around 16 in attendance including the 4 guardians that were there also. I started to preach the word to this small group and before I knew it I was just quoting scriptures that the Lord was giving me.  I had been advised that there was a little boy that had a horrible fever and was very sick, so after I stopped preaching before anything else, I asked for the little boy to come in center so that we could pray for him.  I began to ask him If he had accepted Jesus into his heart and he said that he had accepted Jesus into his heart.  When I saw him my heart broke, I touched his head and his head was so hot that you probably could cook an egg on his head,  His eyes were bloodshot and he looked weak from not being able to eat since Tuesday of that week. I began to tell him that Jesus had all power to heal him if he would only ask for it and believe with faith.  I asked him if he believed and he said YES I BELIEVE!  So the Guardians and I began to Pray for him, he began to start crying and as we were praying for him his skin started to cool down, and after the prayer he looked at me and with teary eyes his eyes were normal color.  He told me that he felt 100 times better and believed that God had healed him.   I proceeded to minister to the others in the coffee group, and in this moment the Lord started speaking to my heart to tell someone that they were flirting with christianity and were playing games with God and the devil.  I began saying this and did not get a response, however I knew that it was for someone I concluded the coffee group with a prayer of blessing on all who were in attendance and I headed to my truck.  As I entered my truck I had a Guardian run up to me and she told me "Richie Richie please come here I need you to come and see Blanquita she is crying and will not stop!"  so I went to where she was  and she was crying, I began to ask what was wrong, and she said everything that you said was for me, "I have backslidden and need to stop playing with God will you help me to find the right track?" I said yes And I began to lead her in the sinners prayer and there in one evening I went to bless and I ended up getting the blessing instead. 1 Recommitment and 1 Healing  to God be the Glory for the things he has done!!"WE ARE A GENERATION PASSIONATE FOR CHRIST, DECLARING VICTORY IN CHRIST 100% EVERYWHERE WE GO LIFE  FOR LIFE  UNTIL THE END!"

School in Apopa WON FOR CHRIST!

Yesterday I was out working with the Guardians of the vision in Zone 8 "Apopa" the Italian District and a group of americans from Dayton Ohio.  When we entered this what seemed to be small school we heard Children shouting in excitement because they knew that we were going to do something for them.  The Guardians, The team and myself started up with some songs and games, and before I could realize it there were over 300 children in this small auditorium.  I kid you not there was no room to get through the massive sea of children that was in front of us,  so with the energy and the adrenaline flowing through our bodies we started a program up for them. During these songs, dramas, & games we were able to capture the attention of the children and build bonds with them.  Then came the ministering of the gospel the Group from Ohio had prepared a drama special for the children, and after that we proclaimed the gospel and provided the opportunity to receive Jesus into their hearts.  The results of what we saw are pretty much indescribable but we knew that God was working when we had a multitude of children come up to receive the lord as their savior.  Yesterday we had over 150 children come up to receive Jesus Christ into their hearts.
Praise The Lord

Saturday with the children!

Hello brothers and sisters, I just wanted to share with you a little about what happened this weekend.  We had planned to have a mega fair on Saturday for the children of El Salvador, but that was changed when the local school system  put a mandate in order that the children have to go to classes for the next 8 Saturdays.  This was put into order on Thursday, and because 4 out of 8 of our zones could not attend the Mega Fair we decided to suspend it for now.  The discipleship department that I work with still had normal children services, although we were not expecting the result in the number of children that came to the service Saturday.  The busses started arriving and children started pouring off of the busses, after we had a chance to get the children seated we had the ability to count how many children (club castle, Guardians of the vision, other children who came for the first time EVER!).  The total amount of children that were in attendance was 532 children, WAY MORE THAN EXPECTED! So myself and the Guardian leaders put a drama program together and ministered to the children that way, and it worked even some of the guardians were participating in the dramas, it was AWESOME!  The way the school system works here is like this, only half of the children go in the morning and the other half go in the afternoon, which meant that only half of the children could come to the Mega Fair if we had it so we decided to suspend it and will be having it on the last Sunday of July(which means "No Classes, children can come and have the time of their life".
Friends I live for this type of ministry there is no feeling that can compare to when you are helping a child have fun but most of all helping them to find their hope in this world JESUS CHRIST.

El Salvador Missions/ prayer requests

Greetings in the name of Jesus and on behalf of the children of El Salvador,

It has been a little over a month since I arrived to El Salvador, and God is really working in the children, In the fairs and the different events that we have coordinated.  The children of El Salvador are very adaptive in these programs that we have ministered with.

NEW NEWS!!! 
I have a nissan frontier that I purchased for ministry use, on this vehicle I have put the logo of "CASTILLO DEL REY" "Kings Castle" to call attention out to the people of El Salvador.  Also I have implemented a rare form of evangelism by connecting an external sound system to my vehicle, which enables me to preach and present the word of God while driving where ever I go In El Salvador!  

I had to consult an extra $3,300.00 for this evangelism tool that I took out of my budget that I had raised.  If you would like to participate in helping me to evangelize to the people in El Salvador, and would like to make a one-time offering towards this part of my ministry please send your offering to
