The Tuesday morning service in the tent of the church “We are united”

The topic of Yuriy’s message is “The Spirit with no limit.” People’s hearts are open to the new waive of the Holy Spirit.

Rick is sharing from his heart.

Cumana Venezuela

On Friday, we traveled for 6 hours from Caracas to Cumana (we already used to spend hours and hours seating in a car). The band performed a great concert. We enjoyed a wonderful time of praise and worship. Up to a thousand people showed up for that concert. Many of them received salvation during that big event and came to the conference on Saturday and Sunday. Praise the Lord!

On Saturday, the conference started at 7 o’clock in the morning and the sanctuary was packed! Great worship and a great teaching for 6 hours on the row! The time flew unnoticeable. Everyone was blessed! The church has a TV channel and could broadcast a live TV for the city.

On Sunday, the church has three services: at 7 am, at 9 am, and at 11 am. People were leaving through one door and getting in through other door between services: at least 800 people for each service. Couple thousands of Venezuelans could see the real Russians for the first time. We had three speakers, one for the each service: one from Venezuela, other from the USA, and one from Russia. All three services were live broadcasted.

Caracas

On Tuesday morning, the church “We are united” experienced over 3 hours of intensive blessings by the powerful anointing on Yuriy and Pastor Guillermo from Bogota! Approx over 300 people were there in the morning and 500 in the evening. Pastor Don shared at the evening and called the leaders of the church to get the oil and to pray for the people together with us. The big bottle of the oil has gone immediately! All the people received blessings from the Lord Almighty. Also, we had a privilege to share on the Radio station. We left our home at 5 am and came back around 11 pm. Such a blessed day!

The church has 400 rehabilitants at this time.

People are seeking for the Lord

Many people have decided to say "Yes" to the Lord.

We could really see that revival already began in Venezuela! The hearts of many people are open. Wednesday evening was great and powerful. I wish you could be there with us and feel it in your spirit. God is preparing great things for those whose are fully committed to Him and are fully His.

On Thursday evening, we were invited to the studio share from our lives with a small group of musicians and singers and to pray for them. It was memorable time for them and us.

Catia La Mar

On Friday and Saturday evenings, we ministered at the Church of the Assembly of God in Catia La Mar. This church is focused on going to the nations and Pastor Elita recently renamed her church for the Christian Center for the Nations “The Morning Star.” People are really eager for the words of God and getting ready for a big move of the Holly Spirit in their lives and around the world.On Sunday morning our team went to the different churches. God provided additional interpreter for us and Corina became a part of our team. That morning, the church with Pastor Alexander had a great joy and a big celebration. Many people received confirmation on what God is doing in their lives. Many prayers got answered.
