In the Bible Jesus saw a great multitude of people, many of which had great needs in their lives. He was moved with compassion towards them, healing those that were sick. Matthew 14:14 The same thing is happening in the day that we live. I want to share two testimonies of two people that Jesus had compassion on during the last few days here in Santiago.
One man came to the altar in obvious pain. A chair had to be brought to him so he could sit down as all of us prayed from him. For a few minutes his face showed us that the pain in his back and leg was still present. So, we continued to pray for him. Then the Lord started healing him. We told him to get up out of the chair and start to walk by faith back and forth across the altar. At first, he was having difficulty walking but as he continued to believe God and praise the Lord, the Holy Spirit took over. He started walking faster and faster. I felt within my spirit that he was completely healed. I told him he could start running. He took several laps around all of the people at the altar. People were shouting, praising the Lord and glorifying God throughout the whole church. All the glory belongs to our God. Hallelujah!
In another meeting a woman came up for prayer. She told us that six months ago she fell two stories and injured her back severely. When the doctors examined her, they found that her spine had become curved from the impact of the fall. This caused her continual pain. She could barely sleep at night. Even when she tried to sit in a chair, the pain was almost unbearable. She continued to faithfully come to church but with great effort from this tremendous physical need. I called two sisters to gently put their hands upon her back as we all prayed together for her at the altar. I was seeing in the spirit that Jesus was straightening out her backbone. Her countenance fully changed after prayer. I had her place her hand on her spine in the area that had been curved. She told me that now it is completely straight! She said that all the pain was completely gone. So, we had her bend her back and twist her back in every direction. She did this quite easily. Hallelujah!
Just as Jesus had compassion and met the severe physical needs of these two people, he will also have great compassion upon you and your family as you pray in faith.

We had two nights of outdoor revival meetings planned in Puerta Plata. This is the first city that God sent me to in the Dominican Republic back in 2006. Pastor Apolinaria set up these meetings in an open field near the main road in her community. It rained briefly both days but by the evening, the weather was fine. Posters have been hung, a large platform was set up, there were microphones for eight people and the musical instruments were all ready to go. There were chairs set up in front of the platform and on the left and the right sides. Many people gathered on the streets that were on both sides of the field. Others gathered on the porches outside of the homes and in front on the local businesses. As usual, the sound of the singing, the prayers and the preaching projects far beyond the immediate area of the meeting. I preached the first night and Pastor Omar preached the second night.
I preached out of Isaiah 35 about the promise that God would heal the lame, the blind, the deaf and the mute. I finished my message preaching on the most important decision that any person can make in their life, to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
In Jesus day, the people had to make decisions. They chose Barabbas over Jesus. They chose to cry out crucify him. One thief chose to accept him and one thief chose to reject him. But Jesus also had to make a decision. He decided to die for the sins of all mankind rather than have his young life spared.
The first night 13 people made the right decision to accept Jesus Christ into their life as their savior.
Pastor Omar preached on the unconditional love of God. He finished his message by talking about the seven sprinklings of the Old Testament priests in the Tabernacle. Then he talked about the blood leaving Jesus’ body in seven different places. Many more people repented of their sins at the altar on the second night. The angels of God in Heaven were certainly rejoicing as these people gave their lives to Christ. All of us feel the presence of the Holy Spirit so strong during these meetings that we continue to feel a very, very strong presence of the Lord well into the night. Thank you for all of your prayers and please continue to pray for us as we continue to reap the Lord’s harvest. God bless you from the Dominican Republic.

We are in San Jose de Ocoa for only one night. It is a city situated in the mountains of the southern region of the Dominican Republic. Our meeting tonight got a little bit wild. Many people who were not Christians were invited to the meeting. To my knowledge, every non-Christian asked Jesus into their heart as their savior. I counted 18 people that came to Christ tonight. Hallelujah!
As in the other meetings, people who could not see well, after prayer, they could see, people with back pain, leg pain, and full body pain were all reporting that they were fully healed. Praise God!
I prayed for one man who told me that he needed deliverance. Unfortunately, he did not get delivered at that time. About 15 minutes later, because he had evil spirits operating in his life, when the presence of God was so strong in the church, he started getting quite wild. He started getting totally out of control. He was pushing lots of chairs around and getting angry at anybody who tried to stop him or contain him. He looked like he was going to start attacking the people. Everyone started praying but nobody was doing anything to stop him. Finally, one man went over to try and contain him but I could see he was struggling. So, I went to help him. As I did, my hand apparently hit a chair which cut my wrist. There was quite a bit of blood all over my hand so I went next door to wash it. The man who needed deliverance quieted down. Pastor Omar, Evangelist Rafael and myself prayed for him one more time. This time he did receive deliverance. Glory to God!
We are all grateful the way that God is moving upon so many people here in the Dominican Republic. Thank you very much for all of your prayers.

We spent one day in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. This city has a population of about 2 million people. Pastor Cruz, our host Pastor, was absolutely wonderful to work with. There are so many people attending his church that they have to have three services on Sunday morning. God has blessed his ministry with the best sound and video equipment that I have seen in any church here in the Dominican Republic. Not long ago, Prophet T.B. Joshua from Nigeria, who was quite famous, was invited by the President of the Dominican Republic to preach two nights in the biggest stadium in the country. Pastor Cruz was the one who organized these meetings.
Pastor Omar Harris did a great job in the second meeting bringing a powerful message about different women in the Bible who met men at the well and how each meeting brought forth salvation. In the third meeting I preached on the power of Satan, the power granted to Christians and the power of God. The Holy Spirit took over and people flooded the altar for prayer at the end of the meeting. Many souls asked Jesus into their heart this morning. Every person who asked the Lord to be healed, was healed. Praise the Lord!
Several years ago, the Lord spoke to me and told me he has given me the gifts of healing as found in 1 Corinthians 12:9. Since then the amount of people who get healed in our meetings has dramatically increased. Whoever God chooses to use in this manner must always point everyone to Jesus, must always give God all the glory and must tell the people that their salvation is infinitely more important than their healing. Because Jesus loves people so much, he has great compassion on them. The promise to heal our bodies, as well as to save our souls, are contained within God’s word. God bless you from the Dominican Republic.

Here in the Dominican Republic God is calling so many people. We thank God for all the people that he has been healing on this trip, but we know that the greater call is to salvation. We have been doing nightly outdoor revival meeting where the greatest miracle is the salvation of their souls. At the end of each meeting, we always call people down to the altar for their soul’s salvation. Some people are slow to answer this portion of the altar call. Because of this, we always have all the Christians pray and the Holy Spirit starts convicting people’s hearts and drawing them to the altar.
This is the third night of working with Pastor Osvaldo Torres in Santiago. Many people came down for salvation. Once again, it wasn’t just adults, but teenagers and children, too, that came an answered the call to give their life to Christ Jesus. Twenty-five people accepted Jesus as their savior tonight! Praise the Lord! The alter workers then take their information so that they can be contacted later and encouraged to start attending church.
Pastor Osvaldo Torres, the pastor that we are working with here, is the head of the Pastors’ Association in Santiago. He has set up some great meetings for us. We are making plans to do meetings in a large domed stadium in Santiago in the near future. This stadium has a seating capacity of 10,000 people. He lines these meetings up all of the time. He has provided professional video men and opened up the door that we can preach regularly on his radio and television programs. I am very humbled the way the Lord has chosen to use us.
In these reports we only give a glimpse of what is actually happening here. I am very happy with this team that God has put together. We compliment each other 100 percent. Each one of us; Pastor Omar, Evangelist Rafael, and myself; minister a little bit differently, but together we have the desire to glorify God and see many lives changed. That is what is truly happening. I want to thank you personally for all of your prayers for this trip. Here in the Dominican Republic God is certainly answering prayers. God bless you.
