Dear Brethren in Christ,
Last
night we arrived in this island nation which consists primarily of the
two islands of Trinidad and Tobago. (Please see the map way down below.)
We were met by our hosts Dave and Rohan. Dave is a Trinidadian of
Indian descent who some time ago received The Elijah Challenge Training
materials from a disciple in Kansas named Pete Cabrera. Dave studied and
digested the material and began to apply it. Last night he shared with
us that whereas before only 1 out of 10 people were healed when he
ministered to them, after studying the materials 10 out of 10 infirm
people he ministered to were healed by the Lord.
Dave
then handed the materials to Brother Rohan, who has the ministry of a
prophet. Likewise, Rohan also began to heal the sick effectively after
going through the training materials---often with amazing results. Rohan
is a high school mathematics teacher, and Trinidadian law and culture
give him the freedom to preach the gospel and heal the sick in his
classroom. Students are now healed regularly in his classes, and he
estimates over the years he has led 15,000 students to Jesus Christ.
Seeing
the effectiveness of the Training, Dave and Rohan have invited
full-time pastors and servants of God from all over Trinidad to attend
the free event this week. They estimate about 200 or more will be
joining us. By faith they will be providing meals for their guests over
the four days of Training. Hearing what Dave and Rohan shared last
night, we sense that the Lord wants to do something special here. He is
pleased by the freedom accorded by the government to preach the gospel
in the public schools---something forbidden in the USA. Trinidadian
believers, moreover, generally fear the Lord (unlike Christians in quite
a few other countries we have visited) and understand the importance of
living holy lives in obedience to Him. Even the name "Trinidad" refers
to the Holy Trinity in Spanish. We believe the Lord has something
powerful in store for this week.
Please
pray that the Elijah Challenge Training this week will have great
impact on the gospel in Trinidad. May He enable us to be extremely
effective in training His servants to heal the sick and cast out demons
as confirmation of the gospel. May powerful miraculous healings take
place during the morning Training sessions and in the afternoons when
the trained disciples go door to door to heal the sick and proclaim the
kingdom of God.
Our
schedule has us conducting the Training Wednesday morning through
Saturday morning from 9 AM to 1 PM. In the afternoons the trained
servants of God will go from door to door to apply what they have been
taught from the Scriptures.
Thank you for supporting us in intercessory prayer, dear ones!
