Healing and Hope Mark a New Season in Indio

Indio, California

Pastor: Carlos Olivas
Correspondent: Ruben Gonzales

Greetings from Indio, California! We are seeing a breakthrough here in Indio and God is moving in our city! In the month of December we had an open door for our local outreaches. God has given us favor at our local mall and we have been taking advantage of it. We bought Santa to the mall and had 225 people show up to take a free picture with Santa. Participants had alls, Idaho to come to our Sunday PM service the next day to receive their photo. We had our Christmas program and did a play “How he became the Grinch.” That night we saw 195 visitors and in the end we saw 45 people give their lives to Jesus.

In January we had Pastor Dave Marks for some special services and he did a powerful Sunday school on how to remember scriptures.

Also in January, we had Redlands come with a rap group, skit team and an Impact team. What a great blessing they were to us. At the end of the night we saw 23 saved.

At the end of January the West Las Vegas church blessed us with an Impact team and their wrestling play “Lucha Libre: The Mask.” What a powerful night with 14 people saved, praise God!

In February we had our 19th Annual Rap Fest at the Indio Mall. We set up outside with complete favor, played music as loud as we wanted and with no time limit. At the end of the day we saw a total of 29 people saved, 14 on outreach and 15 at the event. God is good!

We followed the Rap Fest with a revival with Mark Salas. It was a tremendous time of receiving timely words for the congregation and powerful sermons.

We had a man by the name of Jose get saved at the Rap Fest and come to service with a cane due to the fact that all his muscle and tissue had been surgically removed, leaving him unable to use his right leg at all. He went up for prayer and God powerfully healed him, causing muscle and tissue to grow, allowing him full use of his leg! He has continued to come to church to this day, eagerly waiting to see God continue to move in his life. We serve a God that heals!

We ended the revival with a Valentine’s Day couples dinner/marriage seminar and had two visiting couples attend.

We want to thank all those who help us labor in our city and we want to thank our mother church in Prescott for your support and investment in us as well as your example. Please continue to pray for us as we pray for you.
