July 9, 2009 Hello from Curitiba, Brazil! The past 2 days have been phenomenal here on the Youth Power Invasion! On Friday the youth teachers and preachers practiced their messages and were trained in how to oversee church services. Will Hart spoke to them on Saturday morning with an incredibly powerful time of impartation. Many of the young people were on the ground for several hours experiencing the presence and power of God consuming their entire being! Several of the team members left the worship times with New Generation weeping and shaking under the Spirit of God as they experienced a new realm of heavenly worship in the glory of God. Will Hart and Jamie Galloway equipped the team for healing prayer by teaching the 5 Step Prayer Model and Words of Knowledge. Randy Clark joined the team on Saturday for the start of the Phase 1 evening services. During this time, the youth were given opportunity to put their new understanding of the healing ministry into practice. As the ministry teams for Randy, Will and Jamie they witnessed miracles flowing through their hands. In one service there were 200 miracles and healings just through the team’s words of knowledge! In other services, 45 people received salvation and deaf and blind people were healed! All of these outstanding testimonies happened through the hands and prayers of the young people! One bus had 10 youth who had never seen a healing before. After Saturday night every single one of them saw Jesus heal someone in the service! Here are some testimonies from the youth about what they are experiencing: “I was praying for a man and I looked at my hand before I prayed and it was normal. When I finished praying I had silver dust all over my left hand! Wherever I go I feel wind all around my hand. ” – Caleb Carr “I stood up in one of Randy’s services and he blessed me and the Holy Spirit came upon me very powerfully. All I felt was fire all over my body, my ears and eyes began to burn. This presence stayed on me for at least an hour and others had to help me onto the bus. I have never felt God’s fire like that before and God is revealing His plan for my life!” – Emily Grissom “I prayed for a guy last night and his right leg was shorter than his left leg. We prayed for him and he felt electricity in his leg and we saw his right leg grow to the equal length of the left leg! It was so awesome! I prayed for a woman this morning who was completely deaf in her left ear and mostly deaf in her right ear. I communicated to her in sign language and we prayed in the name of Jesus and her ears opened up immediately! I just had prayed this morning in my quiet time that I wanted to see the deaf healed and God gave me an opportunity right away! Thank you Jesus! This is the first time I have ever seen deafness healed!!! ” – Rebekah Campbell Monday morning, the Preachers and Teachers had a special session with Randy Clark before the rest of the group joined them. The time of teaching and impartation was followed by an all you can eat lunch at a local churrascaria. We covet your prayers not only for the team members but also for the leadership team working behind the scenes. It has been exciting to see every young person having transforming encounters. We have high expectations for even greater testimonies of personal encounters with the Holy Spirit and many more salvations, healings, miracles and deliverances throughout our trip!
