Final Report on Rivera Hernandez

Dear Family and Friends,

So the police arrest the political mob boss in Rivera Hernandez the morning of our parade, the anticipated mayor of San Pedro Sula invites us in for a private meeting, thousands and thousands of people turn out for the weekend crusade meetings, the team watches our national television broadcast in a hotel room Saturday morning – and that only begins the story to a remarkable week in Honduras! For you who prayed, gave, and followed us throughout the week at www.livingLOLI.blogspot.com – thank you!

Here are some of the highlights from Rivera Hernandez:
· We gave out 4,500 pounds of food in five days. We also gave away flip flops, stuffed animals and soccer balls.

· We held 7 conferences:
Children – ministered to over 2,000 kids
Youth Rally – 100+ teenagers said YES to Jesus
Pastors – unity in Rivera Hernandez among evangelical leaders
– formed 2 brand-new pastor alliances in neighboring communities
Intercessors, Worship, Evangelism, and Women Conferences also went well

· We opened and dedicated Eagles Christian Bi-Lingual School in San Pedro Sula. More about this and our partnership with them in reaching and educating children later.

· Over 25,000 people (for 2 nights) gathered in one of the most dangerous gang-neighborhoods in the country to hear the Gospel and worship Jesus. The presence of God was so thick and amazing that people just spread their arms wide and cried openly – lost in the love of Jesus. The call for salvation touched my heart as people kept coming forward and filled up the large opening in front of the stage – as Alisa sang over them in Spanish. Because of the amazing presence of the Lord, people were surrendering their lives to Jesus before, during and after the altar call. In fact, as I walked off the stage on Saturday night, one lady asked me to pray for the girl standing next to her. She had been fighting all night with the Lord – but she had just yielded her heart to Jesus as we were leaving and was overwhelmed by the love of God.

It is so amazing living for Jesus! He is the one who saves, heals, delivers, and releases people into a destiny beyond anything they could ever imagined!

Thank you for being apart of this – we love you all!

Every Blessing,
Stephen and Alisa
