Greetings from the beautiful, sunny, and warm city of Bullhead City. This past year has truly been a year of fun, thrills, excitement, new ventures, and breakthrough.
In October three people from our congregation teamed up with the Lighthouse Medical Mission Team on an adventure of a lifetime. They traveled to the nation of Liberia, and together with a team of physicians, they ministered medical aid to more than 1,500 Liberians. The Medical was given perfect eyesight y Ghost. She has not worn r contacts since this altar e.” Mission held a clinic in the morning and revival services in the evenings with Pastor Bell from the Congo. It was an incredible time of ministry and every person that was treated in the clinic heard about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. It is hard to count exactly how many total people were saved, but the lives of all of those involved were forever changed.
Also in October we had our annual Haunted House. This was one of our most fruitful haunted houses yet, with more than 110 people saved in two nights! We truly saw the hand of God move on the hearts of sinners.
In March we ventured into the deep, having our first Youth Rally. Pastor Louie R The day started with Pastor Louie Ray Lobato Jr. ministering in the morning. After that the teens were ready to hit the streets for an all day outreach. We took a break for lunch in a park and then met back at the church for a concert and an inspiring message from Pastor Bob Overson. It was an action packed day with more than 30 people saved! This Youth Rally was a perfect catalyst for a life-shaping revival with Pastor Bob Overson.
In May we were privileged to baptize nine new converts! In June we ventured out once more with our first-ever Kids Carnival with teams from Kingman, Blythe, Las Vegas, and Desert Hot Springs. We met at the church for an all day outreach, and then we met at the park at 4 p.m. for the Carnival.
We estimate more than 1,000 visitors, it was a wide open harvest field. When all the dust was settled we had 32 new convert cards!
As a result of the success from the Kids Carnival, we had a steady flow of visitors all week in our revival with Marty Carnegie. There were visitors in every service. In the final service nine new converts were filled with the Holy Spirit.
On July 4th while the rest of the world was partying and watching fireworks our church was making some fireworks of our own with our annual Harvesters Homecoming. We invited more than 40 baby, grandbaby, and great grandbaby churches. This was one of the largest Homecomings to date. With barely an open seat in the house God truly moved and all those who came were blessed. On the final day we left the church for street preaching. With more than 100 people there, you could feel the dominion and power of God.
Without a doubt, the single greatest Ray Lobato, Jr. ministers in youth ral venture our congregation has had this year was not our own. In January our church announced Louie and Breeze Lobato into the nation of India. On March 16, Louie, Breeze, and Bella Lobato were on their way to Bangalore, India. Our congregation is excited about this great adventure. We’re joining together in weekly prayer and fasting, and we are contending and expecting great things in India. We are excited to see all that God is going to do in the future not only in Bullhead City but in Bangalore and the world.
