Doctor Update

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

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

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

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

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.

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
