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!

Update Aug 5, 2009

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

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
