A Healing Crusade Stirs Faith in Austin

The month of August 2017 marked the one-year anniversary of this miracle for our church (that has waited patiently over 25 years) as we were able to buy a building.

After several challenging hurdles towards this that began to sound like a blues song with the words “flooding in Texas” becoming all too real, God opened a door for us to purchase a former dance hall in Southeast Austin, Texas that was known for its weddings, honky-tonks and quinceanera parties. After major renovations, our church moved in and immediately God began to bring visitors to our church. In fact, the owner even came in on a Sunday morning and got saved! Special thanks goes to Pastor Joe Stephens from Georgetown, Texas, who helped build our stage!

This summer has been busy as it was kicked off with 25 of our teens attending the South Texas Believer’s boot camp, with many going for the first time and getting converted!

Additionally, Friday night outreaches in various communities/ parks surrounding our church and home Bible study areas have kept us very busy. As our rap, rock, and Tejano bands played at these events, which included giving away free raspas (snow cones), popcorn, hot dogs, sodas, and movie on a big screen…we drew in a crowd, and preached to them!

At one particular outreach, our Spanish Bible study used puppets to bring in a crowd of Hispanic folks and showed a Spanish evangelical film with several folks praying that night. Also, we have shown the Prescott-produced movie Train- Wrecks, and have had people stay even at over 100 degree temperatures as they have been gripped by the power of God. Our disciples have pulled altar calls at these outreaches and have seen people come to Jesus! Thus, summer has been a time of harvest as laborers have been diligently working the fields!

Revivals with Jerry Fussell, Rick Martinez, Carl Cooper, and Richard Valerio (for this portion of the year), have been outstanding as we have seen the Holy Spirit move in these meetings, seen miracle healings and people converted to Jesus Christ!

Our April Healing Crusade with Pastor Willis Gordon, was amazing as all the people that came up with a need were healed!

Finally, our church had it first Harvester’s Homecoming this past April, as our pioneers and their churches got refreshed with the 5 Word of God and Fellowship.

Pastor Richard Rubi (our mother church’s pastor) brought hope through the preaching, as he presented a home-cooked meal to our church and prepared our hearts for assaults from the enemy. It has certainly been a “revival, riot, or both,” as we are taking ground from the devil!

Please be praying for The Door in South Austin, Texas, as we have seen God opening the floodgates of heaven to touch this city and our neighboring cities of Creedmoor, Buda, and Del Valle for revival!
