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.

A young boy about 13 along with his two younger brothers. He accepted Jesus as his Savior and I asked him if he wanted to lead his brothers. He said yes. He read the script and they were saved. A fellow worker saw them and said they were singing. I approached a group of 3 teenager guys at the flee market and went through the script with them. Two of them prayed with me and the third seemed interested but when I asked him he didn’t pray. About five minutes later, I went by again and his two friends had taken the script out of the DVD pack and were reading it to him. 3 homeless children age 6-14 walking by themselves. They prayed, didn’t have any food. Bought them lunch. They prayed for a place for them as their dad was looking for a place for them to stay. They started crying. Security guard gloriously saved. Had heart attack earlier, we prayed. The power of the Holy Ghost came on Him. He was so thankful; he didn’t look the same. The glory of God was all over Him.

One person rededicated. A Chinese girl received salvation. Used Spanish script for the first time with an elderly woman in the nursing home. She said “no” to a team member but wanted to pray when I asked her the 2nd time not knowing she said no to my team member. Seeds grow! Over 120 souls saved at 2 high schools in 2 hours. Prayed for whole soccer and other sports teams for the first time. We went praying on the streets and we came across three young teenagers. At first when I approached them they were like no, but they prayed the prayer with us and the young boy in the group seemed interested. I was just so overwhelmed that I felt like crying. You can see he was serious about it and that touched my heart. His name was Jonathan and he was fourteen years old. And you can see God moving in him as he was praying the prayer.

Earlier in the year Pastor Rodney had us make a list of everything we were believing God for. On my list was healing of my cataracts. I believed God for this and continued to travel with the tour until it was impossible for me to contribute my best due to my failed eyesight. I had no medical insurance (not even a job) but decided I would seek help from a surgeon no matter what the cost. The blessings started coming. The surgeon said he would discount by 85% since I had no insurance. The surgery center waived $3500 twice for each surgery. The anesthesiologist waived his fee as well. So far there has been no bill from the surgeon. It’s been almost 3 months since the last surgery. I know he was compelled to help me. I could see it and feel it. He’s the only one who never asked for a financial statement and he didn’t know me at all. I know that it’s God’s heart to bring in the harvest. I know that He honored my seed as I struggled to work with Him for the sake of the harvest. I rejoice that my vision is restored 100%!!! I pray for The River and the GAT that the funding abounds for the work ahead that honors God.

A Sarasota friend Keith brought me to the River for a service shortly before your May 2006 RBI graduation. Pastor Rodney asked all those sensing the Lord’s call to come to the altar. Then he asked those who sensed the Lord’s call to the River Bible Institute to step to his right side at the altar. I took that one step at the last second and he sent the others to their seats. I joined the River in September 2006 and completed the one year night RBI class in May 2007 while working full-time as a hospice patient/family counselor. I live an hour drive south off I-75 in Nokomis and rarely miss a service–only if I am out-of-state. Revival at the River changed me and I am a bold soul-winner now. Before revival I only led one person to salvation.

On the morning of Sunday December 13,2009 an amazing event took place at * The River Church*. As my own witness during the time I was performing registration at the front door of the church, many Hispanic parents with their children were coming from some of the places we just visited a while ago. I was observing “The fruit of the harvest”, they were represented by the faces I could recognize, from the time we shared the Lord and prayed during soul winning.

We are a team that really is causing an impact for the Hispanic Community more and more they are understanding the importance of  JESUS in their lifes. During that Sunday, I had the privilege of being involved in so many activities, such as The Altar Call,Food Ministry and Registration. The Altar Call is drawing a good percentage of Hispanics,whom are accepting Jesus in their hearts,getting delivered from bondages and even speaking in tongues for the first time.The Holy Spirit is imparting fire on each of them * Fuego de Dios * allowing that fire to transform their lifes in a fenomenal way . Healing is received for the ones that are sick after we pray with them in the room.

Another area I usually get involve, is in the Food Ministry. In only two days we prepared and gathered almost 800 boxes of food. As a steward all the blessings are planted in their hearts and by those actions, each family is receiving the * LOVE OF GOD * When we gave the food to the ones in need, they were not only pleased, but also a new seed of hope,love,faith and care was as they experience God’s love.

Later outside, the toys were bringing such joy for so many children, the ones that not only accepted the Lord, but were being bless for Christmas. In tears of joy, I described all the doors the Lord is opening for so many new faces, so many new souls, which now will attend regularly the service and also are on fire for God!!!
