Revival in the children of El Salvador

Hello family, 

I want to say thank you for your prayers and support, and to tell you a little bit about what happened at our children's camp this weekend.  I left for the camp on friday evening ready, expecting and believing for what God had in store for us. I was in charge of 7 boys (ages 9-11) teaching them on the fruits of the spirit and concentrating on John 5: 13 - 16, and Galatians 5: 22 - 23 teaching them what are the fruits of the spirit are, and why they are necessary for us in everyday life. 

Saturday we had classes and games for the children, and they also took part in pool time with the Guardians of the Vision.  This was awesome as through out the day we had the opportunity to minister to the children while forming relationships with these children.  Then came the night time service that occurred in the prayer fortress, where we had in total attendance around 45 children looking and seeking the presence of God!  After 2 or 3 songs of praise and worship we split up into our camp groups having a time of devotion, where I could see the hand of the Lord moving before we even started to worship the lord.  The children from my camp started getting serious and really seeking the presence of the Lord  right then in this time of worship 3 of my children fell under the power of the holy spirit and right before my eyes I saw the supernatural power of the Lord working and touching these children. How powerful it was to see these children being baptized in the Holy Spirit! 

We were in the prayer fortress until 9:00 receiving from the Lord, and at 9:00 we left for our rooms to rest and have a "circulo de amistad" Friendship circle before bed time.  I started the friendship circle by asking all of the kids to share a testimony of what they liked most about the camp and what they thought of the prayer fortress. Each child responded with the response of "hey Richie I loved the pool"  or "hey Richie I loved the games that we played" etc. Everyone of the kids told me that they felt electricity running through their bodies and was wanting to seek more of God.  Here is when everything just lost time!  We started praying and the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit was beginning to move again but more powerful than before.  All 7 kids were on the floor weeping and sobbing, crying out to their God and started speaking in tongues praising the Lord.  The other kids from the other camp were playing soccer in the same room that we were in, but when they heard what was happening they put the ball away and stopped the pillow fights, came over and started praying and receiving from the Lord saying I want to experience an encounter supernatural with God, I want to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and be changed for ever.  The power that was in our room I can not put into words but 2 of the Guardians who have passed on to the adolescent program were walking up the stairs and stopped in to see what was happening, they came in and when they reached the middle of the  room Roberto and Luis fell under the anointing of the Holy Spirit so powerfully that they started jumping up and down and praying for every person there in that room.  We started praying at 9:30 and when we stopped it was 11:30 finishing with 6 kids from my camp receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and 5 guardians Receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

There is a revival happening here in El Salvador with the children!  We are declaring Victory in Christ 100% over every child and I am dedicating my life to make sure that these kids can receive the powerful life changing experience from Jesus Christ!  The bible says in Joel 2:28 "And afterward I will pour out my spirit on all people, Your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. Please help me to send kids to camps so that I can accomplish the vision and dream to raise children up to serve a risen king Jesus Christ.  If you want to help out in any way the information is at the bottom of this blog page

Weekend of Fire and Power!

Hey Family!

I want to give a little recap on how I spent my weekend. This weekend was really different, the Lord really answered my prayers after 17 days of fasting Soda.

Friday night Vigilia,

It all started on Friday night when I went to an all night prayer worship services (vigilia) in one of our most dangerous areas, where the Spirit of God was just hovering and inhabiting the place that we were occupying for the vigilia. Although It was raining so hard that brother Donald Triplett had to stop preaching for a few minutes and pray it was powerful! Around 12:00 in the morning there was an alter call given, and It was awesome to see many youth and teenagers receiving from the Lord Jesus Christ. What happened at 12 am on Friday night is that we saw our youth hungry for an Extreme Experience With Jesus Christ with out limits!

Saturday Guardians Service,

On Saturday I had the privilege to share the gospel and minister to the children who I primarily work with. There was already a powerful presence of God in the tent where we were holding our services so that made it even better. I spoke on Isaiah 55: 6 - 8, Seeking the Lord while he may be found, and a service that normally takes 20 minutes lasted for an hour and 15 minutes with children on their knees praying and crying out to the Lord with their hands raised to heaven declaring "Victory in Christ 100% over their families, schools, and country. In this time we saw chains of bondage being broken, children being set free from their 2 way living and making a decision to follow Christ. It was a powerful time watching children be children of the spirit!

Sunday BIG DAY,

Every third Sunday of the month we minister in song and drama, and every month falls on one of these three ministries Masters Comission, Warriors, and `Guardians. This month the Last Harvest Masters Commission had the service where they took us back in time and into reality of how things were at pentecost!

The drama started out with a modern day scene continuing through the drama as they were taking us in bible times also. The modern day scene was a father and daughter walking on the street, as a gang member came up to her and fatally shot her. All was hopeless and the paramedics and doctors were working on her to save her but gave up leaving her there and the father there in distress and praying for a miracle. During all of this the Masters were creating a visual of those heroes in the bible, Peter walking on the water, Samson and Delilah, and Ezequiel speaking over the dry bones and them coming to life. Then came the part that you have all been waiting for, we come back to present times, the father is holding his dead daughter in his hands pleading with the Lord and praying for a miracle. As the father was praying the the Lord broke the barriers of present and past and raised the girl from the dead! Then The power just started filling the place when the conclusion of the drama occurred. The last scene which took place in the upper room, where the alter call was given, from there I just began to feel a presence like I have never felt before in our church. I am not sure how long we were praying but I know that the presence of the Lord was there and was hovering in a thick haze, to the point to where I could not stand up.

I will share with you that which I shared with the Guardians on Saturday, ISA: 55-6 says "Seek the Lord While he may be found; call upon him while he is near." As we are in these times of perverse and violent ages we need to seek and be in communion with the father so that when we have problems and needs we can ask OUR father in heaven. I pray that everyone who reads this will live a life holy and acceptable unto God, listening and obeying his voice so that we can be his Ambassadors of the gospel to the ends of the earth.

May God bless you my family as we proclaim Victory in Christ 100% in the nations

Saturday with Zones 3,6, and 8

God is raising up a generation here in El Salvador of children 7-13 years old full of the Holy Spirit, ready to preach the gospel where ever they go!  This Saturday we were having castle club in the zones, I had the privilege to work with 3 zones and there were 150 children in attendance.  I have never felt such an awesome feeling as I felt when I could not move because there were so many children coming to learn about Jesus.  The worship time was just awesome, Oscar and I divided up the children into groups for worship time and It was just like the flood gates of heaven were opened because the children just started worshiping in freedom, weeping and pouring out their hearts to the Lord.  Meanwhile while I had three zones the other part of our discipleship department were in 2 other zones where they had around 160 children coming for castle club classes.  This is just a count from 5 zones out of the 8 that we have.  With all of our zones put together we have well over 500 children that come out to learn more of the word of God.
