Ministry in Tijuana!

May the joy of the Lord shower over all of you, for our God reigns over Heaven and Earth. Hallelujah!

Wow. What a week in Tijuana. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for sending Chris and me to share in Christ's hope for all that inhabit the earth until His second coming.

I can't wait to come home and share all the spoils with you all. About 180 students went down to bless the people in churches in Tijuana. Our mission was to pray for the sick, bring deliverance, and do street ministry. Although the area in which we ministered was very poverty stricken, the churches that invited us didn't want us to do building projects as most other mission teams from around the world do. They invited us specifically to minister to the people. We saw people get healed, delivered, set free, and accept Christ as their Savior. Hooray!

Chris prayed for several people that got their physical healings, and I worked in the healing / deliverance rooms and preached. One highlight was one night we went to Revolution Street - a red light district close to the border - and did street ministry. We know of at least 2 strippers who got saved, and a bar owner who received Christ that night when they were prophesied and prayed over. It was a great time for the first year students to be activated and set on a course that reaches people in the lost and dark places. Even though we had a language barrier, it was so thrilling to see the faces light up on people when they got healed or saved. Then, when we ministered in the churches, we were humbled to see just how hungry people are to see the mighty works of the Holy Spirit. One church even had oil dripping from the ceiling in the sanctuary after we ministered. Wow, God is so amazing and fun to be with.

Chris and I had strength and stamina the whole time there, and then when we got home we just melted from all the activity.

Can't wait to get back home.

Love and blessings to all!

Rick
