Manaus, Brazil

Early morning on September 24th, our team landed in Manaus, Brazil. The weather there was extremely hot compare with Bogota, Colombia we just came from. Our Brazilian friends met us at the airport and gave us a ride to the hotel. Praise God that our rooms had air conditions!!!
During the day the temperature went up! We took a short walk toward the river and could see a hard work at a small river port (see the picture above).

A huge size pan... at the market place.


At the evening, we took a short walk again. It was more pleasant and enjoyable than under the burning sun.


A beautiful park was located just two blokes away from our hotel

The very next day the conference begun. The worship team together with dancers led us to the presence of God! The Holy Spirit touched every heart and made changes.

The main speaker for that international event was a young Evangelist from Puerto Rico. Our full attention - our eyes and hearts - were glued to his dynamic sermon. Many people responded to his call at the end of his message. Praise God!

Women ministry

We continued joyful worship and dancing in the afternoon of Saturday. The women ministry was from 4:00 till 6:30 pm and then we joined to the rest of people in the main sanctuary.


Russian woman speakes in English, Venezuelian translates from English to Spanish, and Brazilian gives this message in Portuguese. Isn't cool! We need each other, sisters!

American woman speaks with translation in Spanish and Portuguese! Good team work!

Jane Riling gives her testimony and then four of us pray for the needs of the local women.

We used four prayer lines and oil to anoint each woman and to pray with all of them. We did our part and the Holy Spirit performed the main work in the spirit, souls, emotions, and bodies. Praise the Lord for His love and His divine healing touch!

On the picture below, you can see Olga with Pastor Kedma and Kedma's mother and sisters. Family members got together to worship God, to give Him praise, and to pray for the nation. Alleluia!

Amazon river

On Saturday morning, we spent a few hours with our new friends on the boat


Actually, we used two boats: a small one (on the picture above) and a smaller ... (below)


Bridge is under construction

Two rivers get together, but the water from each of them flows separately: you can see a dirty brown water and black. It's hard to believe!


Kids are making some money by showing animals at tourist area.
