On Sunday, 12/13/09, I was in kids church doing the Security and I was stunned I mean absolutely slapped stupid, the hunger on them kids was incredible and once they got inside it was a whole another story they were excited, but the kids church workers got them sitting and when it came time for Joe to come up them kids were crazy I mean the involvement of them kids was totally mind-blowing!!! I was of course in and out of the building but every time I could I would try and see all three age groups. I remember one little girl in the 3-5 yr olds and she was so scared she was crying these sad “alligator tears”, and she wouldn’t play with any of the other kids so I left for like half hour, when I got back she was sitting with one of the workers and smiling, I left that room with tears in my eyes. Than later on I was going to the back of the kids church, they’d just gotten done with the kids’ altar call, so all the kids who accepted Jesus were in the hallway and two lil kids stuck out, one little girl tugged on my suit coat and said “Jesus loves me”, I said “He always has.” than one little Mexican boy hugged me and said with tears that he “Jesus is my best friend”, man I was done after that I cried and said inside “Lord your so good, to see these kids so happy with meeting You”, the looks on there faces were priceless and that little boy, he was like 9 or so he was a tall little boy. But you know that’s not the first time I had this happen to me, back in September I went to Tampa General Hospital to visit the children’s ward and it broke my heart b/c that day God dealt with my heart, I thought to myself “all the money in the world can’t raise that little boy from that bed and from that day on I asked God to break my heart all over again for kids and showed my need for the Holy Ghost.

I am a first year bible college student, and I just want to say that I feel extremely privileged to be here in school (RBI), and to be a part of the River Church. I see how this church feeds people spiritually and also physically as well. There’s a food ministry at the church that provides people that are in need, with food. But the main thing I love about this church is the fact that it goes after souls. I have never seen or heard of another church that goes out to win souls, (evangelize) as much as this church. It feels great to be a part of Pastor Rodney’s ministry that does outreaches out to the city. And it’s not just once every two or three months, or whenever they feel like it, but it’s every week, every day, there’s always a group going out to soul win. Just last Sunday, December 13, 2009, there was a special outreach service in the River Church that was just amazing. I was in the nursery serving, and we were expecting a lot of 1-2 year old babies that were going to come that morning because the church was giving out toys for children for Christmas and food to everyone, and many people and babies came. I was in charge to take care of four babies that I got the privilege to tell them about Jesus and to pray with them. It was just wonderful to see the little babies accepting Jesus in their heart. And just to show them love. There was this little 1 year old boy who at first was crying and screaming at the top of his lungs when his parents dropped him off, because he wasn’t use to being away from his mom, but a little after he got use to being there and started playing. While the kids were playing and some were crying and yelling, I was thinking to myself, “Oh my goodness this is hard!” But at the same time, I could see outside through the windows everything that was going on. There was a radio station van outside, people from the church getting the area ready where they were going to give out toys, and the other area where they were going to give out the food, and then I realized that maybe it was a little tough to be with the babies, but that it was worth it because that’s where I put my time to serve, and everyone had their place to be. And we all came together as a team and with God’s help, made it all happen and gave out the toys and the food.

The Winter Campmeeting impacted my life in that I felt like we were being called to a higher level in Christ. We are to not forget the vision the Lord has given us and trust him to fulfill it. The time is speeding up and we will be able to accomplish more in a shorter period of time.
Pastor Rodney spoke about going to South Africa and receiving a word from God and he gave us the vision the Lord gave him for the years ahead. We get to be a part of that vision, so we need to be supportive. This is not a time to slack off, but instead to press in and run with the vision.
The campmeeting was celebrating 30 years of ministry, Pastor Rodney read his biography of how he got started in the ministry and trials he and Pastor Adonica went through and accomplishments they made by the grace of God. It really helps to hear the trials a man or woman of God go through, mistakes they may have made, sound decisions that brought good results, because then we feel like we can make it. We’re not alone in the battle. Things you see in the churches, offenses that come, so many going the ways of the world, make you want to quit going to church, not quit living for God, but giving up on the church. Pastors Rodney and Adonica did not give up on the church, they started a church and this church is an example of the kingdom of God, of the way a church can be if you persevere in the things of God and you yourself be the example. You will then see fruit because God promises it. “John 15:16″ We were challenged to live a consecrated, holy life before God. How many churches will do that today? We have a true enemy we need to be aware of and take seriously, who is always trying to take us out, but we have the authority over him and we need to walk in it. We have the victory!

This campmeeting was so full of the awesomeness of God that it’s challenging to summarize all of the ways my life was changed. One of the first things I remember is that it was a celebration of Pastor’s 30 years in ministry—what a thing to rejoice over! I am blessed by his determination and ability to lose all of that weight, and I loved hearing all of the other ministers that sent in video greetings to Pastor. It made me realize that we are all in this together and that God does place people along side us to encourage us in our journey with him. Thank God for these relationships. I am a story lover, so I very much enjoy any time Pastor shares stories about his life and family, his testimony and biography were amazing. It always ministers to me and helps to be able to apply what he has done to my own life—to know that he went through the same things that I go through and he has come out on top.

Seeing people get blessed always blesses me. I absolutely love to see the anointing and joy on other people. Every night when people were touched by God I rejoiced. I am so thankful that Pastor puts in the effort to have these meetings, because I believe it really revives and refreshes those who are full time in ministry. So many times I see people come in, in the beginning of the week, then I see them throughout the week and their countenance changes. People come expecting and when even just some in a group will expect to see God move, and he does, everyone gets blessed.

The most important point I will make is that I went away from those meetings with a greater revelation of who God is, and a greater desire to know him and his love.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

A friend loaned me the dvd, i never really watched pastor. i would watch it all the time sometimes 2 or3 times a day. i would watch it at night and would always fall asleep with it on. well today was the first time i watched the whole dvd as he started to prophesy, he was talking to me. you see i have had a burden to go to the nations, but some how it never happened. i went today and applied for my passport, and in a month i will be going on my first trip to Haiti with the lashbrook family, they have been there 14 years. Praise Him ! here is a poem God gave me after prayer one morning, months before i saw the dvd. THE NATIONS ARE CRYING THEREis a sound going throughout, even the earth is starting to speak. The nations of the world saying, come to me I need to be reached. Please, don’t forget about me I’m one of God’s creations, I can learn, then teach. I may be mean, and a killer at heart. But deep inside there’s an empty part. this part I tried to fill with other gods, who do not heal or fulfill. I am crying, my people are crying God if your thrie hear this prayer I’m praying. written by, George S i have had that same deep groaning, now God is doing it ! All glory to Jesus ! thank God for your obedience and gift.

Christ Jesus of Nazareth has never left Nazareth, HIS grace and power is still here and working wonders beyond anything a mortal man can understand. This morning I was invited to visit an Arabian lady ninety years old. Her daughter Badjia had invited me for a meal at here house a week prior to visiting her mother. Her daughter said we were eight in the family; my father died when I was 3 and my mother held the family together, we lived near the market here in Nazareth. But my mother has never given her life into the hands of Christ Jesus, she knows all about him, will you come with us to my mothers’ home and invite her to receive Christ as her saviour? And the greatest miracle is salvation; the lady of 90 years gave her life to Christ this day and also a lady visiting her said yes to Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus has blessed this family, the 90 year old lady told me my mother read out of the bible to me and I listened. She went on to say my mother told me never to take advantage of others for any reason and I never have. I have great joy in giving and not asking for something is not my way. How can I say Christ Jesus is here in Nazareth, she the 90 year old lady has a family first second third generation all with Christ Jesus. The daughter Badjia has three daughters all married to men with Christ Jesus as Lord of their life. And very interesting the three daughters all have grandchildren with the Lord they live here with their families in Nazareth one daughter is married to a American one to a Egyptian one to a Jew. From generation to generation HIS great grace has flown in this godly family, praise him from whom all blessings flow. Amen

We have been teaching the soul winning script to a local church here in Massachusetts again this week. With only 5 harvestors we have seen 58 decisions for Christ. We had one girl in black magic get set free and receive Jesus into her heart. We had two more deliverances on the street today also as we walked in Webster, Massachusetts. the spanish people are very open to the gospel up here. We had one harvestor get hit with the joy of the lord after we led a man and woman who had afive month old baby to Jesus. she staggered down main street under the power of God that hit her all at once. our night meetings have been filled with joy, laughter and the fire of God and many hearts coming back to their first love. We have already seen fruit for this church by new visitors and the young people have taken the fire and went with it. they went to kansas last week and came back and told us every time they stopped for gas they would jump out of the van and start sharing the script with Jesus. It has been hard to get the church as a whole awke, but about ten people have really caught the vision, the fire and they are daily sharing Jesus with others now. They have thanked us several times for the teaching, training and showing them how easy it is to reach people for Jesus. We have seen salvations, healings, and even deliverance in the streets. Also one of the largest nursing homes after two visits has open it’s doors for the church to come each week now and sahre Christ. very huge complex with hundreds of residents. Please pray for us. We have a church to speak in this sunday in New hampshire. pray that they will let us teach and take whoever wants to go out soul winning through next Thursday. Pray also that the fire in these hearts will spread and grow into an army for God to reach souls for Jesus. thank you for your vision and commitment to the church and the winning the lost. We don’t have a church home, so we have been tithing into your ministry. We wish we could work with you and be close enough to you to have a home church like yours. I’ll do all I can do to help you reach others for Christ and His Kingdom in Jesus name.

I have been a christan for seven years now. My walk with the lord has been growing year by year. In these seven years i have been blessed in every way, both spiritly and matrial based. But for me its starting to get pretty boring. A year after i excepted christ i was chose to be a interseser, okay thats great & very exciting right? When i pry i saw alot of exciting things happening! Then i was annointed to be a worshiper. My paster seperated me to walk by her side, i had the attention, the honnor, but for me it was not enuf something was missing! When i came to orlando in 2005 i became a dican, thats good, but not enuf! And then i became a leader of a ministero de danca primicias, a dance group. Also i became a leader of worshipers. Thats great, but not enuf! I had all these leaderships but i was empty! And in New Years Eve i started to seek for God and i started to tell him how i felt, why i felt unsatisfied and empty. Why did i feel this way? I should be satisfied i had all these ministries i had a great relationship with the lord, but it didnt fill me. So i said to the lord tell me why im so empty?!? And he said very clearly win me souls! And i said lord dont i have to graduate, speak very good, and know the whole bible? Dont i need to be trained? And he answered just open your mouth! But your going to find this rediculous, but i went to work i knew the lady who did my nails i have a lot of clients amd i couldnt speak! So are you ready for this? When i heard that the great awakeing tour was coming to our church i said to the lord either you pour on me a fresh oil & a authority to speak to people about jesus or you take me home because i have all this and i dont want to be just a pretty face in church anymore im here for a job and my job is to win souls. So i give you lord 4 days to change my life i dont care what it takes, what ever you need to do! So i fasted from tuesday to friday. For this purpose. On Wednsday i started to feel God move, i was siting in my seat during the word and when paster started to talk about that god gave us power, not beads, to go and speak his word i felt the ground start start to shake and my feet started to get hot, i knew something was going on! My heart started to get really tight and felt as if on fire. And i thought the lord was takeing me home, and i started thinking i should not have challenged him! My tough started to tighten and then the paster started praying for Bianca i was working as a dican andsomeone said to me go over there in case she falls and the paster looked at me and asked if i was her mother and i said no im her leader and he looked some more and said come here. I said to myself i cant fall im working! But i was already feeling the ground shaking, my tough on fire as well as my heart and thought oh well im dyeing! I went to the paster and he didnt even have to touch me i was on the ground for the WHOLE service. The next day i went to the service and i thought i got blessed yesterday so today is going to be chilled, or relaxed.To my surprise that night my legs it felt really weak so weak i couldnt get up! My tough started to move by itself my mouth started to open and started to speak a really funny laguage, like an aniciant african language. The next day we went to the nursing homes. And i said oh my gosh im so afaid what am i gonna say are they even going to hear me? When i went to the first person he was about 85 and i started to read the script and he looked at me and he said its that easy? Thats all i have to do? And i replied YES! And then i got ON FIRE and i started going from table to table like i was serving food. I didnt want to stop i only had one hour left because i had to go to work so in that one hour i won 7 souls i was soo excited. On a saturday morning i had four hours and boy did i use them up! I was the leader of 7 people and that day i won 37 souls! But thats not the good news! THe good news is i kept the scripter and im still spreading the word. Im going to Brasil from june to august and my goals are to win SOULS. If only i knew it was that easy, now i feel like nothing is missing. Im satisfied because im catching fish every second i can! So i consider great tour coming to my church an answer from God. If we are not wining souls we are not doing anything. So i now decide im a monthly devoter because i have to throw my seed where the harvest is and in the harvest are souls. THANK YOU PASTER FOR HEARING THE VOICE OG GOD! because through you god changed my life & satisfie my soul. p.s. pretty soon im coming to see you in tampa because im still hungry for the word. hey dont blaim me im a god chaser.

Went to nursing homes and had a great time. 8 people got saved. I was praying with a gentleman in a wheelchair in a nursing home. As soon as he repeated after me Dear Lord Jesus come into my heart, he closed his eyes and I could feel the Lord’s presence, I said:”You feel the Lord’s presence don’t you?” He shook his head yes. I asked have you ever felt that before? He nodded his head yes.
