Iglesia Congregacion Christiana and Cantico Nuevo

Beginning on Friday evening, our team took part in a Healing Seminar in one of the 41 congregations of Iglesia Congregacion Cristiana in the area of Cienfuegos. Since last Wednesday, the healing team who led the conference has been staying with us at Tom's apartment. The team consists of spirit-filled Methodist believers from Washington State. On Friday, the conference teaching was on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. We led worship for the conference and prayed at the end for people to receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. During the day on Saturday, the teaching was on forgiveness, spiritual healing, emotional healing, and words of knowledge. We also led worship that day and participated throughout the conference in all the teaching activities. Monday evening was the last session of the Seminar, and the teaching was on physical healing where we laid hands on people to be healed through prayer. We saw people give their lives to Christ, be healed physically, and delivered from the demonic. It was an extremely powerful night! When the conference ended, we could sense that God had moved mightily in Cienfuegos.
              On Sunday night, we were given the opportunity to lead worship for the main congregation of Iglesia Congregacion Cristiana's evening service. Until we got there, we were not aware that we would be having our team partner with theirs for worship that night, and it was good and pleasant as we were unified in strong worship unto the Lord! The following Tuesday, they had asked us to be interviewed on a show aired on the church's TV station. Our entire team ended up singing three songs in Spanish on the show, after which they interviewed Bryan and Angela along with John and Diana Martinez. It was a great experience and allowed us to get the word out about Cantico Nuevo. Overall, our schedule has been very busy, but God has been using us to draw attention toward the church multiplication and to minister the love and power of Christ here in the DR! Pray for us as we head into another weekend of the Healing Seminar, believing that many will come to know Jesus, that many will be healed in spirit, mind, and body, and that the Lord will deliver them from the oppression of the enemy. Praise God for what He is doing!

  1. As you minister at the Healing Seminar this weekend, I am believing for His Healing Rain to be poured out on the people. As the people are soaked in His presence and refreshed by His Spirit they will be transformed, healed and delivered. And while you minister, you will be changed... you are being marked by God... You will never be the same... and you are leaving your mark on the people of the Dominican Republic... You have the incredible privilege to be a sign that points them to Jesus. Love you! Believing for great things in Him!
