Revival with Ralph Blanco Refreshes Lubbock

We started of the year off with a revival with Evangelist Ralph Blanco in February. We saw a good visitation, people being saved and filled with the 10 Holy Spirit. In June Evangelist Shawn Davis came. We had a homeless couple come in and surrender their lives to God. This couple locked into the church, got jobs, got married and God gave them favor in getting an apartment.

Another key revival was with Tony Chase. Many lives were changed, not just visitors, but church members as well. Mind battles were broken, and hearts were healed. In October we had Pastor Teshima, from Grants NM, our mother church, which is always a blessing.

This summer we went out to the harvest field, planting many seeds. We did many outside concerts throughout the city in several parks. We had the help of our surrounding churches, and we were able to reach the lost. It was a great time of ministry, with many people healed and saved.

We were able to send two groups of teens to boot camp. One group was able to experience the San Antonio boot camp. Our second group went the Las Vegas boot camp. They were all powerfully impacted to live for Jesus. God is moving in our teens’ lives, as they are rising up in ministry.

Our teens headed up our yearly haunted house, “Carn-Evil.” Our best one yet! We had over 160 visitors that came through, and out of those, 110 accepted Jesus Christ. As a result of the haunted house, we have seen many visitors in every service.

A mother and her two daughters have been coming to every service. God is helping them, bring healing and restoration too their lives. We are thankful for all that God is doing. Keep praying for Lubbock as we pray for you, God bless. Testimony: Danny & Miranda Valencia

This precious young couple got saved during a revival service with Evangelist Shawn Davis. They came to every service that week and God moved on their lives in a miraculous way.

They were living on the streets of Lubbock for over a year. They would walk in a one mile radius around the place that God was calling them to, they just didn’t realize it. They smoked three packs of cigarettes a day; they were also addicted to cocaine and weed.

Miranda would find herself following Danny in whatever he would do; if he was getting high she was getting high. It came to the point that she needed to stop. Miranda had sobered up for nine months straight. Danny continued to use the drugs. He didn’t want to face the reality that he was lost.

There was a time where Danny was getting up every 20 minutes to get high, so that he wouldn’t have to face himself. Miranda eventually gave into his lifestyle and started getting high again.

A brother from the church invited them to a revival service with Shawn Davis. Danny was finally at the point where he said “enough is enough.” They came to the revival and both gave their lives to Jesus. They attended every service of the revival.

This couple has since locked into the church. After two weeks of being faithful; God provided a job for Danny.

Not even a month later, God moved again and opened a door for an apartment. Shortly after, God dealt with him to get right with the state of Texas, so he turned himself in. God again showed his favor. Danny only did two and a half weeks of jail time, when in reality he should had done two years of state prison.

In July they both were baptized, and in August they were married. God’s promises where clearly seen in their lives Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and these things will be given to you as well.”

Danny: “We had been up on meth and cocaine for five days straight. The only time we went out was to pay for another night’s stay in our motel room. I was just tired of life.

We were on our way to donate plasma to get more money for drugs, when this man invited us to church. We said yes, but we needed to donate first. The brother from the church took us to donate and waited for us till we finished. He waited out there for over an hour. I guess God had plans for us. We went to church and God helped us.

“I want to encourage you that no matter what condition you’re in God can help you. All it took for us was letting go. We are still attending the church, since then we have been clean for five months and we both have a jobs and a home.

I want to thank God for our salvation and for all his promises and never forgetting about us. God is wonderful! Give your life to him.”
