BRAZIL
I had the honor to be invited to Brazil with brothers from Toronto. It was a trip that was orchestrated by God and I was only to say yes and I did. Finances were an issue but we moved in faith and in a flash it was no longer an issue money came from the most unusual places and people. Thank you to all again.

Brazil Foursquare Church Pirassununga

My first time in Brazil took me to meeting all new people right when I arrived. Ps. Denardi, Ps. Sergio(translator) and another young man which picked us up in his car then drove back. We went from Sao Paolo Airport to Pirassununga which is about 3 plus hours away; of course we stopped for the traditional churrasco (Brazilian bbq) which was my first experience. When we arrived we went to the Hotel and then off to the first night of School. My day started in Italy with the first train from home to Florence then to Rome then to the Airport, 3 trains 4 hours. First flight to Zurich ( 1.5 hours) then direct to Sao Paolo 11 hours and I arrived at 5:10 in the morning waited until 9:15 when my ride showed up and then the trip to Pirassununga and then at 7pm taught first session at School. The theme was the Father’s Heart then after 10 pm dinner at someone’s house till midnight back to hotel and then some sleep. Day 1

Day 2 started with breakfast and then off to Church for the second session of School and guess who was teaching, yup me. After the end of the session around  12:30  I was praying for people and this one girl was sad that she was tired of begging for bread and not being able to give an offering so I prayed His love over her and told her that He is just searching for your heart in offering, she wept a lot and that night she came up to me and said look I have a smile on my face and that I’m not sad anymore thank you Holy Spirit.  I then prayed for a girl that could not get pregnant. she said the doctors did 2 operations but I did not know what the problem was so I prayed healing and then started praying for another girl with the same problem.  My spirit jumped and I asked her if she knew this other girl and she did,  they worked together then I asked if anybody else they knew had the same problem and they said yes, some of the clients. I brought forth the thought that maybe the place itself was cursed so I prayed healing over the second  girl and lead them on how to break the curse on the place where they work.  When we were done and leaving the church Ps. Denardi said the first girl I prayed for got a gold tooth, wow, then we went to Pastor’s house for lunch, then back to the Hotel for a nap and to get ready for the start of the Conference at the Convention Center  Now since I’m the only speaker so far I shared that night also. I prayed for a lot of people and was fitting in quite nicely with my Brazilian family, and yes you guessed it,  late dinner at a brother’s Restaurant and back to Hotel to sleep.

Day 3 was a day of rest being a weekday there were no early meetings. Ps. Sergio went off to Sao Paolo to get Bruno and Alex. And we went off with Pastor Maria to eat churrasco, an easy day.  It was their turn to do the long journey and share that night. I still ministered and enjoyed every minute of being in presence with family, people being healed and renewed. And you got it back to the Restaurant for yummy food.

Day 4,  after a good night sleep and breakfast we went to lunch.  This day was shaping up to be the start of something really cool.  As you know, Joyce and I are prayer walking the old battle front lines in Italy and we have discovered a large Brazilian presence and that they had a major hand in a lot of the liberation  from the Germans and the Fascists,  It was on my heart to share this but it didn’t seem like I was going to get the opportunity to be in proxy for the Nation of Italy to ask for forgiveness from the Brazilians for what happened to their people in the war.
 This day Rafael a young man at the Church asked if anyone was interested in going to the Airfield and look at planes, I thought it would be a good distraction away from ministry for a few hours and to see some of the City.  As we started to approach the airfield I started to see that it was the Brazilian Air force, at this point I knew my Poppa was up to something.  I was able to share this with a soldier (which was a Christian man and later prayed for him) and thanked him as a representative of the army for their part in the liberation of Italy.

I also got to stand on a World War 2 airplane used in the war. But the spoiling came when I was asked to share this at the conference and was able to ask for forgiveness for the loss of their family and to thank them for their sacrifice for Italy’s freedom. Wow what a powerful testimony of the power of forgiveness. This was a catalyst to a lot of reconciliation work done in the hearts of those affected and I got spoiled by my Father in Heaven.

 This being the last night, the Pastor of the Church asked that the people would bid us a farewell and to give them a hug, well it was like a mob.  I had three lines in front of me and it was kind of cool because I like hugs but it seemed to be going on for a long time and at one point there was only one line but when Alex brought it to my attention the people were lined up waiting for a hug from me, needless to say this broke me and again I felt spoiled by His love coming from each ones’ embrace. There was a little girl maybe 4 years old that came around four times

Day 5 was a travel day to Paulinia to a Baptist Church.  I got to ride with Rafael for a bit (1,5 hours) and through language  barriers we had a Bible Study on prayer and hearing God’s voice, wow,  He is awesome in all ways and again I got spoiled by His grace and mercy. Well when we arrived in Paulinia guess what the first thing we did, yes we ate and then slept.

The first night was cool but odd when we returned to the Church and they kind of  pushed us, Alex and I into a back room when the music started.  I couldn’t stay in the room and went out and started to worship and dance and I felt an enormous freedom in dance and unity. I got to share this in an introduction of the team but did not share again at this location but I did get a chance to speak into the lives of some youth and to prophesy over them. Wow in just a few short moments of contact I was asked to stay and not leave, the Holy Spirit is awesome.

That night Alex and I went over to Ps. Francescos’ Foursquare Church in the city of Hortolandia. There Alex and I tag teamed,  I did the main speaking gig and he did the intro. We then prayed and imparted The Father’s Love over the people and prayed for healing. Then Alex asked if there were any men that had never had a hug from their fathers to come forward, and the hearts started to be broken and healed   I prayed for one lady and through prayer and forgiveness her hearing was restored completely,  she could hear again and the smile on her face was evidence that she heard me snap my fingers behind her which two times prior she could not, glory to God.  We got spoiled again seeing His love being poured out on His children.

Day 6 we had a Pastors Breakfast and we shared testimonies together. We were supposed to go to a Mall but the time slowly ticked away right into lunch, we had literally just ate and now we were eating again.  Do you get the impression that Brazilians like to eat?   We rested and Alex and I went to Campinas to Ps. Edino’s Church which was a Baptist Rhema Church.  I shared our Prayer Walk testimony and there were a few people that had personal or direct experience because of the war and were freed from the bondage through forgiveness.

Alex shared on the Seven Mountains of Society and how we need to conquer them.  We then prayed and when I prayed for the Pastor and started to impart the Fathers heart, the Holy Spirit took over and the Pastor was a jumping piece of mush. We ministered a bit and I prophesied over some of the young adults, the tears were flowing and they received confirmation of what was already in their hearts.

                                        Day 7 we travelled to Porte Alegre and then had a 2 hour drive to Santa Cruz do Sol. Alex stayed back because he was leaving back to Canada for Easter.  On the way we stopped to eat, yeah more meat.  We finally arrived at the Pastor’s house and the lord showed me what looked like flows of water under the house.  I mentioned what I saw and I said that from out of this house comes living waters and they had a picture with the scriptures of living waters.  The next three days were filled with hearts being transformed,  healing and salvation's. On the last night I had a word about apostolic anointing that lined up with the vision I had the first day that we arrived, that there would be a flowing out of this place into other Cities.


I was spoiled by my Poppa in these ten days showing me His glory on the people I was amongst.  I learned more of an intimacy with God as He let me be a part of His love on my family.
