Well we made it through the first rally and even though there were some technical difficulties and some people who did not come because of the protesters we were still amazed by God and what He did. There were 4-6,000 people there, and at the alter call a sea of humanity began to come down. It was overwhelming to see the hungry, hurting people wanting a touch from the Most High. We began to wade through the crowd and and lay hands on people for the filling of the Holy Spirit and pray for the sick. The first people I prayed for had a baby with malaria. The lord healed her and then a couple people later I prayed for the filling of the spirit on a man and he pointed to his ears to tell me he was deaf. As the Lord opened his ears I was amazed and moved and he began to jump up and down in joy. This bolstered by faith of course and I moved through the crowd. They were sure that nobody was missed for the filling of the spirit and then they would communicate if someone was sick. I had an interpreter for some of it and at other times the Lord helped me. A little later Joel and I converged on a blind man and as we prayed the Lord opened his eyes. Then his one deaf ear was opened and he praised the Lord and cried.

Many other details are lost in my mind but there was one more blind man and many other diseases and spirits that were taken care of by God. I don't know how many people came forward but our team looked pretty puny in our own eyes until we start letting the holy spirit work through us and look at the people with the love of the Lord and then you dont have time to think about anything but the people and their needs. It was incredible as I am beginning to be able to hear the Lord's voice even as there is all that confusion, demand, and pressure.

We did some more training with the pastors today and we are hoping that they are going to stretch themselves and allow God to use them. From what has been communicated they are expecting Saturday to be the biggest day and that will be a fun challenge for me as I bring them the word of the Lord. I know that the lord will speak through me his message for a hurting people. I will have more time to write you tomorrow since we have the day off. I will use much of it to rest and prepare my message for Saturday.

P.S. Mom, I love you and know that we can feel the prayers of you and Joan. Dads message was a bit of a struggle but God used it mightily.
