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

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!

July 4th, 2008 Bom Dia... ...or good morning from all of us here in beautiful Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. If you haven't heard it from your loved ones already, everyone arrived safely, if a little late. Storms over Miami threw many of the team member’s itinerary off just a little bit, but eventually, everyone made it just fine. Our new motto has become "Be Flexible!" We had a late, but important first day as we registered everyone as they came in, introduced the staff to all of the youth, went through the guidelines, had our orientation, and made sure all was well at the hotel. That, on top of traveling from another country; you can bet everyone slept soundly that night. Yesterday, we had a great day of worship, teaching, and impartation with Tracee Loosle and Jamie Galloway. We have another full day ahead of us today as we hear from the other two speakers, Will Hart and Jason Westerfield. Thank you all for your prayers, especially over our travels. We appreciate each and every one of you, and all of the prayer and support you're giving us. God bless, Chris Ishak, for the 145 Global Awakening team members in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
