Hope Takes to the Streets of Austin

We have had the opportunity to send invasion teams to Port Elizabeth, South Africa (25 people total) and Lansing Michigan (15 people).

In South Africa, we saw dozens of folks give their lives to Jesus Christ, as we were able to minister both in the downtown section of Port Elizabeth and in the Walmer-area Township. We ss: George Mitchell started a Ho

When he was a teen, Pastor Mitchell attended a Baptist church with a friend because of a contest. But he still did not hear the Gospel.

But now, the couple was adrift. “I was out of work a lot that year. I didn’t have a dime to my name.

Please be praying for our pioneers, Philip and Melissa Pena, as they are continuing to bring the Gospel to a city/state in great need of a moral compass!

Meanwhile, back on the ranch. In South Austin, we have seen God’s consistent hand of favor as He has brought in many a new convert to our services!

Revivals with Evangelists Jerry Fussel, Richard Graham, and Orlando Salinas have proven fruitful and effective as many folks were saved, healed, and filled with the Holy Spirit!

Summer outdoor “rap concerts,” at a popular SE Austin park (with free raspas/snow cones) have been extremely “cool,” in our plus 100 degree weather! We saw many visitors come out, eat a snow cone, hear some music/testimonies and get saved!

At our first “Acoustic Gazebo Concert,” (on our church property), God drew people in, as free hotdogs/snow cones were given. At the end, we saw about 115 people in attendance with several families coming to Jesus as they heard the music/testimonies/drama/altar call, then came to church afterwards!

Please continue to pray for The Door in Austin, Texas beloved as we are doing a “two-step” on the devil’s face, “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of (our) testimony!”
