July 16, 2009 Report from Curitiba, Brazil! During the first two weeks of July, a team of 120 youth and youth leaders joined us in Curitiba, Brazil for the Youth Power Invasion. Every year, God exceeds our expectations on this trip. This year’s trip was no different. The power and presence of God was tangible and the lives of many will never be the same. Throughout the trip we saw 143 rededications, 684 salvations, 3,565 healed (including 43 blind seeing, 53 deaf hearing, 7 lame walking and 43 tumors disappearing). The first week of the trip, Randy Clark, Jamie Galloway and Will Hart and many others trained the team to minister and imparted to the youth. These times of training and impartation were followed with activation as the youth participated as the ministry team during evening church services. Novo Geracao, an anointed Brazilian worship band, provided worship for the training and the evening sessions. 2 of these services were recorded for the production of Global’s first Brazilian CD production. The presence of God was heavy during these worship times, and we have much anticipation for the final product. After a blow-out impartation service with the team, the youth were released to teach, preach and minister in 25 local churches. The good reports came back to not only us, but also to other churches in the area. We had a number of churches calling and asking for a team to come to their church because they heard what was happening in the meetings and they wanted the blessing to be released in their churches as well. Following are just a few of the testimonies from our team members: “I was praying in tongues over my food one day at lunch in the mall and all of a sudden a man began to weep next to me. He began to explain in the little English he knew that I was speaking in perfect Portuguese and I was telling him about intimate details of his life. After hearing this I was able to lead him to the Lord and he gave his life to Christ!!!” – Caleb Arce My word of knowledge was brought on stage to be prayed for in front of the congregation. As she was being prayed for her arm grew 1-2 inches to meet the other arm and her elbow pain was immediately healded. - Ellie-Marie Alered “A 16 yr old boy came up to me with a cleft pallet, and he could barely speak and he could not say specific words including his own name. I prayed for him and heat came on him and he began to shake. He started talking and it became much clearer. We prayed again and the hole closed up on his lip and he was able to talk full sentences without any problems!” –Danielle Cockburn “A guy was lame from birth and I prayed for him and he was able to walk and move for the first time! He had pain all over his body and he was healed 100% from the pain!” –Diane Song “I received one of the most powerful impartations of my life. Will Hart prayed for me and I began to feel a wind around me. A powerful surge of electricity hit my body and I fell to the floor and began weeping violently. Power was coursing through me and I began to have very vivid visions and I could hear sounds from heaven coming over me. I began to praise and worship the Lord and I was on the ground for 4 hours unable to move until some people came and carried me away!” –Jonathan Pasquale “There was a word of knowledge for a blind left eye. The boy with the blind eye came up for prayer and shared that he was shot in the head and had 4 bullets in his head still! We prayed for him and Jesus completely healed his left eye and he walked away with full vision!” –Brandon Anderson and Gabriel Braga
