Assignment: With Missionaries Rev's Donald and Terri Triplett in Kings Castle El Salvador.

Country of Residence: El Salvador

Nature of the work I do:
I work along side national leaders of the kings castle national church, working to disciple children as the lord provides them to us. I work in various forms to help with the spiritual formation in children, such as, the Castle Club program( which is a 14 level discipleship program designed for kids 8-13 years old.) Happy castle( for kids ages 4-8) and Beginers castle (ages 0-3).
In this program we instruct basic christian doctrine and values that Jesus teaches in the bible. showing kids that they are important and that Jesus has a plan for them as he prepares them for the grand trip to the kings castle in the sky, "the most beautiful place in the universe".
Kings Castle is currently working and effectually ministering in more than 23 other countries.

Kings castle has 4 areas in where we minister and they are,

Evangelism: It is our goal to see that the people of El Salvador and all of North Central and South America hear the News of Jesus Christ, It is a value that we hold dear in our ministry and we utilize many forms to evangelize such as, Miracle crusades, healing crusades drama, mime, dance, power team, human video, puppets, big drama, tents, teams, trips, concerts, light shows, inflatable’s, soccer, camps for club castle and what ever is at our availability to use to reach the people for Jesus Christ.

Discipleship: We are fervantly working to disciple many children, adults, teenagers so that they can learn about Jesus Christ and serve their own country as well as others. We have a powerful and effective children's Discipleship program Called Castle Club where I work with many street kids from various areas of El Salvador showing them the love of Christ and giving them hopes that are not gang related but Jesus related.

Missions: Every year Kings castle sends out hundreds of Missionaries to other Nations for short term missions trips, also we work with Last Harvest Masters Commission (the program which I Graduated from in 2008) we are a missions minded Ministry and our dream is to see children, youth and adults filled with the Holy Spirit reaching the nations in these end times that we are approaching.

Compassion: We Share the love of God through many forms but when a disaster strikes such as, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Floods, etc we always make it a priority to go an help in what ever form possible while sharing the love of God to the people being servants of the master. Kings Castle has dental clinics, help orphanages, and also have ministries in the local church that help families who do not have anything to eat during the week.

Itineration: I will be coming home for the summer (May 01, 2011 - August 25, 2011), If you would like to meet up with me I will be in the WV area and will be in the GA area in July below you will find contact information where you can reach me when ever you want.

A dream coming true for 50 kids (Un sueño haciendo un realidad para 50 niños)

2010-11-29T16:29:00.000-08:00

Felicidades Guardianes!!! This is a special time to celebrate, on Sunday December 5th, 2010 We will be graduating over 50 kids into our Guardians of The Vision Program....... Here is the invitation for thier family and friends.(although in spanish I wanted you to see it and look at some of the pictures

Friends Revival is happening in El Salvador below Is just a peek in the window as to what has happened the weekend of October 15,16th and 17th below is the letter that I wrote to brother Don Triplett

¡EL AVIVAMIENTO ES HOY!

¡REVIVAL HAPPENS TODAY!

I knew that something powerful was going to happen, even before I received a call last night from Pastor Jairo at exactly 9:37 P.M. saying that they were still in the tent and could not stop praying in tongues. Pastor Jairo stated that there were many being baptized in the Holy Spirit and everyone was speaking in tongues. Nobody could speak in Spanish. He said that the Warriors were all speaking and conversing in other languages such as German, Chinese, French, Hebrew, English, Japanese and more languages that he could not understand.

Pastor Jairo, said that they were all understanding each other even though that none of them were speaking the same tongue. Pastor Jacob, said there were healings last night in the practice also and I can believe it. Pastor Bryan also stated that Pastor Alfonso’s daughter Elvira was speaking in tongues in English and when Pastor Alfonso called to see how she was doing. The amazing thing was that she could understand her dad but she could only speak in tongues (in English) so Pastor Bryan (who speaks English) had to translate for her so her dad could understand her.

Today in the Big Day Revival Service.... before I even went down to the tent with the kids, I felt the super huge presence of God hovering the whole entire property. Normally at the Big Days the scenes are just acted out but it was more than that today. There were 3 scenes 0 A.D. in the Upper Room, was the first scene where the scene with the 120 disciples. Many probably thought that the praying in tongues was just part of the drama, but you could feel the prescience of God. From the very first scene, the Warriors were interceding on stage without openly with great liberty. The second scene, took place in 1906 in Los Angeles, California with the Apostolic Faith Mission revival and the same thing happened. The Warriors continued praying in tongues and interceding for the church. The last scene, was ICRAD 2010 (King’s Castle A/G Dream Center 2010) where Pastor Veronica preached and the fire just fell for at least 2 hours.

The presence of The Holy Spirit just lowered on all of us.... I truly understand what you mean by when you talk about the “dove settling over you” because several Guerreros, Leaders, Pastors and I felt something that we have been waiting for a long time. People were speaking in Miskito, German, Japanese, Chinese, English, Hebrew and French. Many received the fruit of the spirit of Joy and could not stop laughing. I believe many were set free from bondages. I felt led of the Lord to pray out loud rebuking evil spirits setting people free, praying for the sick and praying for the Warriors. As I began to pray people the Warriors and the Guardianes that were in the Big Day received a powerful touch from the Lord as the FIRE fell on their precious hearts.

I really wish that you were here for this because as we approach the 12th Anniversary of the Prayer Fortress we are seeing the beginning of a great outpouring. I believe that the time has come and revival has finally hit our beloved church full force with Pentecostal power from on high. Throughout the service today, God kept reminding me of Habakkuk 1:5 “Look and be amazed at what is happening among the nations! Even if you were told you would never believe what is taking place now.”

Doctor Update

2010-07-26T22:53:00.000-07:00

Blessings Brothers and sisters,
I want to share with you something that happened. a many of you know that I have been sick with asthma and Dengue fever, Last night I was taking time to enter into my prayer room and worship the lord. But last night I was at my witts end, I had just returned from a birthday party and I had had a hard time breathing and still felt a little weak from the Dengue. I decided to just give it all up my sickness, my life and consecrated my life to do more for the master. while utilizing you tube to find some good southern gospel music I started to just cry out to God Lord Heal me I want to be better again to work with the kids of El Salvador, Lord They need my help I was listening to a song by the Cathedrals named "I know a man who can." In that instant I began to feel like a fire in my chest filling me with a peace and all my pain and weakness just fell away. I thought that it was just feeling the power of the Holy spirit as I have prayed for many to be healed in my time of ministry but never in my life have I felt what I felt last night. after I realized it the time was 12:15 am when I stopped worshiping the lord really I did not stop I just meditated in his presence and I woke up at 7:00 am Not tired not a single problem breathing, I just felt refreshed in the lord. on Friday I was scheduled to go have a doctors visit but I wanted to check in with the doctor today because after what I felt last night I wanted to see what the lord had done. I have medical proof that my lungs and bronchioles ARE COMPLETELY HEALED NO SIGNS OF INFECTION, NO SIGNS OF WHEEZING NOTHING!! PRAISE THE LORD!! I have had time to be in some deep prayer and I told the lord " God I just want to go back and work, I am your servant, I want to do your will and lead millions and millions of kids to the kingdom for you" . You see I know a man who can, his name is Jesus Christ and right where you are he can heal your problems and your diseases, whatever it is if you just trust him and and give him all your heart. HE CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE. I was supposed to be out for 21 days and look what the lord has done. He has healed me so that I can continue to work in the harvest.

A word for your soul

2010-02-22T21:58:00.000-08:00

Hi Friends!

I want to give a short update on what has happened in the past week. Amongst the numerous visitations, feeding programs, creating and planning over 25 children's devotionals and Big Day service God has really showed me just how awesome his glory is. I have always thought that when someone was working and working that it was something good to be doing, but today I realized something totally different, and that is that God is always watching how you serve and how your attitude is when you are serving! I can say that working 14 hour days and sometimes more than that are nothing but pure blessings If I can use those hours to pour into and invest in the kingdom of God! I want to not only give offerings monetarily but with my life, devoting at least 2 hours and 40 minutes daily praying and worshiping God (even if it means getting up at 4:30 am to do it) I know that this is a e-mail that is strange but I had a revelation in my alone time with God today and I wanted to share it with you.
You do not have to be afraid or tired of your work, we all are children of God bought with a price that can never be compared to! What goes with that is power from on high that will sustain you in all your hard times, Many times we seem to keep God in the box and not even try to think to take him out of the box to see what he can and will do for us but when we take our mind off of the worldly and put it on the Godly we then see what can happen in the true life of people who walk after and seek a Holy God! The bible says in John 15:13 "That no one has greater love than he who lays his life down for his friends" If Jesus laid down his life for us "his friends" what can we do to pay him back? could we spend more time worshiping him and praying? Could we spend more time reading his word? Could we spend more time evangelizing to all of our "friends"? The answer to all of these questions are YES, but the personal question that you have to ask yourself is are you willing to take God out of the box and let him show you his marvelous miracles and mercy? I guarantee you that if you do that you will begin to see things that you have never been able to see, and you will be able to see and understand Gods plan for you way better than before.

Amor Verdadero Volvería a pagar el precio "True Love He will buy you back"
Watching all of the kids yesterday In our "Big Day" service and in all of our training for this drama intrigued me to seek God more and more. As I watch kids from the ages of 5 years old to 13 years old Singing and dancing for the Lord, It makes me think of all of the love that God has for me and for you, How he has bought us back by way of the cross of Calvary. There is nothing more powerful and awesome than hearing your own disciples singing and adoring the lord with all of their hearts. Many were saved yesterday and set free knowing that there is a love much bigger that has bought them back, a love that will never forsake them.

God Bless you and thank you for giving me the opportunity to share with you "My Friends" What God has been revealing to me in this last week.

Little boy in Sonsonate with a small hand grows fingers

2009-11-30T09:00:00.000-08:00

On Friday November 27th 2009, My Children and Leaders that I have been Teaching and training in the ways of the Lord took out for the rural city of Sonsonate El Salvador ministering in drama and song. It was a different program than usual because there were hardly no children or people who came to this program, but we still ministered in drama and song, with Games and songs. At the end of the program there was a little boy who had received Jesus in their heart but his hand was small and had no fingers on it they were basically stubs. Myself with other guardians started praying for this boy and he started crying and I asked him what he wanted and he said he wanted a new hand. I then began to ask him if he believed that the Lord could heal him and with tears streaming down his face he said yes! The kids and I started praying for him and before our eyes his forefinger and middle finger started extending and growing as you can see in the photo that his fingers were way shorter than they are now in the picture. "Whatever you ask in my name I will do it."John 14:14

Month of the child José Ricardo

2009-10-11T20:08:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite kids here in El Salvador His name is José Ricardo and is from zone 7. I had the privilege to get to know him as he was in my Holy Spirit camp in the end of September. He is 10 years old and loves being in the castle club program where he is currently in level 4 preparing to pass over to level 5. During the camp that he attended I had the privilege to teach, play and minister to him where he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit which changed his life forever.

This picture was taken at one of our parties that was held in the zone for the children, as we are celebrating the month of the child. José attended our mega fair where he won some castle dollars, With these castle dollars he could go and buy in the castle toy store, cars, stuffed animals and many other toys. During our devotional service where he still had his castle dollars decided that he was going to give all that he had to the offering. Sitting and thinking with 3 castle dollars in his hand he took one and gave it in the offering. Although it was not real money God saw and took his offering as José gave his "toy" in the offering. It is not about the money it is about where your heart is and what you are willing to give to the lord.

Help us with the 10,000 toy miracle

2009-10-06T19:26:00.000-07:00

Would you help us collect a container of Toys for Christmas?

Yesterday was the official International Day of the Child, and all over the world, children are being honored. We will be celebrating a MEGA Children’s Fair at the King’s Castle Dream Center on Saturday, October 3, and expect around 1,000 children to be present. All month long, various aspects of our ministry will be celebrating the children, letting them know how very special they are to Jesus.

However, in King’s Castle, we celebrate the Day of the Child even more in December on Jesus’ Birthday, when literally tens of thousands of children come together to break piñatas, play games, eat refreshments, hear the Christmas Story, and receive a Toy from Jesus. The children are from the barrios all across the city of San Salvador, and for many, it is the only present they will get for Christmas. Even gang members bring their children to be part of these very special outreaches.

For Christmas 2008, we had to cancel two Christmas Birthday Parties for Jesus because we ran out of toys. One Party was going to be for 7,000 children in Distrito Italia, and the other one was going to be for 8,000 children in Las Delicias. How sad it was to cancel these parties when we had been doing these parties every year for the past few years.

For Christmas 2009, we want to seize the moment and have even more Christmas Birthday Parties for Jesus! These parties will be in addition to the 8,000 Toys we need for the Feeding Centers Christmas Parties, the Castle Club Parties, the PK Christmas Parties, Guardians of the Vision Christmas Parties, and all the church activities. We are way down on our supply of Toys, so everyone is waiting to see how God is going to supply Toys this Christmas.

We need 100,000 Toys here in El Salvador ready for Distribution by December 12 - 25.

Would you like to be part of the Christmas Miracle in 2009?

We need to extend our net to each of you, asking if you would be interested in being part of the Christmas Miracle in 2009. There are several ways you can help us receive the much needed Toys here in El Salvador in time for Christmas.

1. Toy Drive in your church, business, or community, and ship the toys to Houston, Texas, where we will store everything at World in Need until we have a full container to ship down on November 1, to El Salvador.
2. Use your Toy Network to get Toys donated and shipped to Houston from wherever you can get them donated.
3. Send funds to purchase Toys in El Salvador, as well as pay for the freight to ship them down.
4. Help us with a One Time Christmas Offering to help us with all of our additional expenses around the Christmas Season.

We need your help now more than ever if we are going to gather all these toys for Christmas 2009. If you do a Toy Drive and can’t get the toys to Texas by the deadline, know that we will ship the toys down for our ongoing Children’s Ministries and Christmas 2010. We need new or slightly used toys in good condition that cost about $5 new.

All Toys can be sent to World in Need in Angleton, Texas, and they will actually fill the container for us when everything is there on or before November 1, 2009. Here is the address where to mail the toys.

World In Need
23543 State Highway 288 N
Angleton, TX 77515

For larger shipments of toys, call WIN for drop off: Maria Torres 1-979-864-3300

Revival in the children of El Salvador

2009-09-27T15:54:00.000-07:00

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.

Weekend of Fire and Power!

2009-09-20T17:48:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-13T22:03:00.000-07:00

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.

Please continue to pray for our church as we need them more now than ever
Please pray for the children of our church and their spiritual growth
Please pray for Missionaries Don & Terri Triplett as well as the Missionary Associates
Please pray for the discipleship department as we are creating new materials to teach the children with.
Please pray for my finances
Please join me in declaring VICTORY IN CHRIST 100% over the financial crisis in the world as well as the violence that is overtaking our world

If today was your last day.....

I am setting here and I was in my time of devotions listening to a new song from Tercer Cielo called Ultima Dia. While I was listening to this song I began to feel inside the spirit of the Lord speaking to me "Rich what if this was your last day? What more could you do for me?" I just begin to crush inside, thinking that I have been doing the things that i needed to do. Could I do more? The question still exists with all of us as followers of Christ if today was your last day to live what more could you do for the cause of Christ??? What would you change about your routine??? Would you make time to spend with the Lord reaching and recruiting for Christ??? These are things that we all need to be doing today more so now than ever. The bible says that no one knows the time or day when Christ will come back Jesus Christ does not even know when he is coming back but it is Very soon!!! just like the song says if today was your last day would you fight for your dreams? How many have dreams to see thousands saved? How many have loved ones who do not have Jesus in their lives? If today was your last day what would you do?

IF TODAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY...............

Big Day Guardians "Ayer, Presente y El Futuro" Aug 16, 2009

Dear Brothers and and Sisters,

Big Day Guardians August 16, 2009

On another note yesterday was the Guardians of the Vision's turn to minister in drama and song at our church "Castillo del Rey Centro Ensoñador"(Kings Castle dream center). It was awesome after more than a week of preparing, training, and praying the Big Day finally arrived. The theme was "The Vision" sharing on the history of Kings Castle and how Missionaries Don and Terri Triplett started this powerful ministry here in El Salvador. The Big Day started out some videos of the very first ministry program here in El Salvador which happened on January 28,1990, as well as from some of the most influential times here in the history of Kings Castle. Next we started the drama with our 75 Guardians marching and chanting "TELL ME WHO IS YOUR SAVIOR?, (girls chanting) TELL ME WHO IS MY SAVIOR? (all Guardians chanted) JESUS CHRIST HE IS MY LORD! Once all were in front of the church congregation the Guardians started performing some of the most oldest songs that exist to Kings Castle Ministries "Who made the Heavens", "I am a soldier of Kings Castle" and "I am Running the race with Jesus" . The next part of the drama was divided into three parts, The first part was the programs of the past, performing the most popular songs from the first days of Kings Castle. Then there was the programs that we do today using our dramas that we currently use on the streets. The third part was the future generation of Guardians in the year of 2050 in which we created a new version of my king Jesus, the guardians had boxes that were cut out and painted silver that made them look like Robots. I wish you could have been there because watching a Mi Rey Jesús being performed in a robotic manner, it was hilarious. Then one of our pastors Mario Moran preached the message the Vision and the history and where we are going here in Kings Castle followed by 2 more dramas "Leave a legacy" , and " I bowed on my knees and cried holy". I can not put into words what happened next but all I know is that these children, normal children ages 7-12 changed from being children to becoming children filled with the fire and power of the Holy Spirit. They formed 2 lines in the alter area as the call was being given, and the pastor asked if there were any needs in the house and so many hands went up in the air that i could not even count them. Pastor Mario Gave the charge to the guardians to go and pray, It was an awesome sight to see a sea of children of the spirit praying for the people of their own church! This is the secret I have found, that if you believe like a child that God will do what he said he will do we can see more things happening here in our generation!

We are a generation that is passionate for who we believe in JESUS CHRIST our Lord.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

Hello Brothers and Sisters

I know that It has been a while since I have been able to communicate with you, but on July 26 of this year I was on my way home after a Sunday service and had an auto accident. I am okay but even though I can not remember all of what happened I am fine now. I spent 1 week in the hospital here in San Salvador trying to recuperate from the accident, I suffered minor bumps and bruises but the problem that I suffered with was that in the accident I ripped my meniscus in my knee and had to have knee surgery to repair it. I was released from the hospital on Saturday August 1st and with every fiber of strength I hobbled to our mega fair to see the children that were there and my Guardians who had been praying for me and visiting me. Even though I just had surgery the doctor told me that I could walk, It would hurt but I could walk, having been given these orders I was dying to see the children, and when I arrived there I had the blessing to be part of a mega fair that had 1,024 children in attendance. What a Blessing!! I still have 3 staples in my knee but that Is not stopping me this is the national week of vacations here in El Salvador for most anyway but for myself and the other pastors of the children it is a time to take advantage and minister to children. So tomorrow levels 11 and 12 of the Guardians of the vision will be going with me and we will be ministering in a place called "Nueva Esperanza" "New Hope" to the children and those who are in the castle club of that area. Thank you all very much for your prayers and concerns, God is faithful in everything that we do. I am up and walking and working with the children almost as if nothing even happened, all of this only 1 week after surgery!! God is Awesome and we have Victory in Christ, as He has demonstrated to me personally in these past 2 weeks. May God Bless everyone in this Last Harvest!!

Miracle Thursday in Zone 2

2009-07-21T18:12:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-07-16T13:54:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-07-12T19:31:00.000-07:00

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.

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
