“When He spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but,“Next time”, He says, “I will not only shake the earth, but the Heavens too.” By this He means that He will sift out everything without solid foundations, so that only unshakable things will be left. Since we have a Kingdom nothing can destroy,
let us please God by serving Him with thankful hearts, and with holy fear and awe.
For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:26-29(TLB)
Greetings in the Mighty Name of Jesus, May 5, 2006
The Crusade (Impact 2006) in Iquitos Peru concluded on April 1st, 2006, but the “impact” continues to be felt. The President of MEPI (Mission Evangelical Pentecostal Independent), Raimundo Sahuarico, estimated the new converts at nearly 3000 souls. Praise the Lord for the outpouring of His mercy and the healing touch of His grace as hundreds were healed, numerous precious souls delivered from the bondage of sin , and countless impartations of the filling of the Holy Spirit was poured out on hungry believers.
Five to Eight Thousand Peruvians attended the crusade each evening, in spite of the futile efforts of the enemy to thwart the ministry that God had destined to be accomplished. Government protestors in the streets, a change in the crusade dates, problems with the sound equipment and other distractions proved no match for the work the Father had on His agenda…….. as the Holy Spirit came in power to break the enemy’s stronghold and set the captives free!
Steve Tutt, our partner, friend, and ministry administrator, labored tirelessly to ensure that the opportunity to share the message of the Good News of Christ was complete. In addition, the team from the U.S included friends from Homer (AK), Wasilla (AK), Superior (MT), and Los Angeles (CA) who joined with over 70 local churches, their pastors, elders, and volunteers from Iquitios and the surrounding areas. The combined preaching of Pastor Rod & Jason Benner brought powerful messages filled with God’s compassion, forgiveness, & deliverance. In one instance during the ministry time, Jason, without the availability of an interpreter, prayed for a young man who was pointing at his ears. As Jason prayed over him, the young man began dancing and leaping and Praising God ……that he could hear! The Holy Spirit overcame the language barrier, a small obstacle for the King of Kings! Every member of the team gave testimony of the miraculous “signs and wonders” they experienced as God was at work! Intense prayer and intercession from the team empowered the ministry to go forth as the Light of Christ penetrated the darkness! What a Wonderful Savior!!!!
The “Church on the Rock” of Wasilla, Alaska donated 100 teaching manuals from Global Awakening which became a valuable resource of teaching & inspiration. Over 70 pastors were given personal Spanish copies and the remaining 25 manuals were donated to MEPI for the Bible College and ministry along the Amazon. A time of instruction using these manuals was given prior to the crusade each day. The pastors responded with excitement, as they were ministered to and encouraged, and once again God was faithful to restore the hearts of His weary but faithful servants. Many pastors commented how thrilled they were to receive this manual and how their eyes had been opened to instruction from the Word of God that would equip them to minister to their people more effectively.
MEPI has reported the necessity of starting new churches to handle the many new believers attending their fellowships since the crusade. One church reported 100 new believers attending their church the day following the crusade! In a recent email dated April 28th, from Ramon the pastor of Filidelphia Church (the largest MEPI church in Iquitos) states:
“Well, today pastor Raimundo told me, one Christian Alliance church, who participate with us in the crusade, they are starting new church in Bagazan suburban, they used one bus every night taking unbeliever people, they wan 36 people for Christ. “ (unedited) Kingdom Shakers funded several buses to bring people in to the crusade as transportation and finances in Peru are very limited. He continues, “ Now about the crusade next year, Pastor Raimundo says will be in Requena”…….
How exciting it is that they are already anticipating and planning the next crusade!!! God is raining down His favor, and He is most definitely….”much bigger than previously thought”. The harvest has begun….. God sees a people hungry for Him, and desperate for His touch, and yes…….now is the time! Your prayers, and financial sacrifices have had an impact that has not only changed 3000 plus souls for eternity, hundreds of healings & people set free, but you have partnered with us in influencing an entire region, and potentially a nation for Christ! God has begun a revival that is starting in Iquitos and moving out!!!
The team met with Raimundo (President of MEPI) the day following the crusade. We share this Q&A segment with you to give you a window into the heart of the Peruvians. (Thank you Mark Eden, one of our AK team members, for taking notes on this conversation. No editing has been done in order to preserve Raimundo’s conversation)
Rod: Would you please share with us your overall perspective of the crusade?Raimundo: It was a great success. We are so privileged to have the Lorduse you. You are a sign to us we have received for the future. Just like the prophet of old, there was no rain and the people neededrain. The prophet looked for a sign many times. Finally he saw a smallcloud. It was a sign to him. Then it came, the rain. In the same way, thewisemen saw the star. It was a sign to them and they followed it. The Iquitos pastors received you like a sign. I believe we are startinga great time of new leadership in Iquitos. God is bringing unity to theIquitos church. This is one way we can change this place, it is withunity. I saw this this week. God was working. The pastors told me, "This word is for me." This is awonderful time for our country. God used you like a sign. You have agreat privilege to bring us a sign. Rod: If it would please you and the Lord, will you pray and if the Lorddirects, we are willing to do another crusade in the future. Raimundo: God is starting something! We are very thankful. Rod: You had mentioned before a couple of places Requena, Paculpa? Raimundo: We will pray about it. (Raimundo talked about being a pastorin Requena and that he knows the Mayor and that many need to get savedthere.) Rod: We want to continue to partner with you as the Lord leads. Raimundo: We are seeking for another region. Upriver fromRequena(Paculpa, a city larger than Iquitos) 45 minute flight) (This conversation was held the Monday following the crusade, and since then many additional reports have come in reporting new believers in church for the first time!)
It is with humble hearts of thanksgiving and praise to our Great & Mighty God that give this report. The pastor’s conference, youth rally, local church ministries and crusade have all been used of God to help unite a city and geographical region of a nation. Please continue to pray and sacrifice so we can go forward in Jesus name. The gates of hell are falling and Jesus is taking back the ground that He shed His blood to redeem.
*Your participation with Kingdom Shakers is a valuable gift to the kingdom work! We pray you will co-labor with us by becoming an intercessory prayer partner and/or a financial contributor as we anticipate the upcoming crusade. “The fields are ripe for the harvest………”
“Lord, give us eyes to see and ears to hear…..Your Kingdom come,
and your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”
In His mighty name,
Rod Benner
*FYI (for your information) all money that is donated is tax-deductible and goes directly to the ministry in Peru, there are no salaries being given at this time.
