Latin American Mission Update Part 2

View from the ministry house where the team stayed


Here are two updates from David from the final day of the mission trip to Latin America. A link to all the photos from the trip is at the end. 

______

Every 2 months, the movement hosts baptisms for those who recently gave their life to the Lord. 


We got to join in the baptism service in Las Tunas. 

Around 70 people walked into the waters of baptism.
70 individual people who chose Christ over this world. 

Each shared a testimony and then each was prayed over by our team. 

It took 3 hours...it was precious and powerful. 

In America, I can only imagine that we would have felt a demand from culture to move Muy Rapido! 
Not here. 
Every person was important. Every salvation celebrated. 

The last baptism service they hosted was a regional one in the ocean - 1,000 people got baptized...1,000 individuals chose Christ for the rest of their lives...Wow!



Below is a photo of the team ministering to a freshly baptized disciple. John Giddens is seen praying and delivering a prophetic word. The only problem is, John doesn't get prophetic words! At least that is what he thought until he found himself ministering to people as they came out of the baptistry. Suddenly, he began hearing encouragements and instructions from God to deliver to each person he prayed for!

On the final night, where we honored N and his family, our team had one last surprise that we waited to share until the very end. 

It just so happens that we ended up being way under budget for the trip. We ate fewer meals and had fewer rooms than the budget set forth.

Because of this surplus, we were able to announce that our trip was purchasing a well in honor of all that N & his family have sowed into the ministry over the last 2 decades. 

It will be in a town close to his home so that whenever he comes back to visit, it will be a sacred place that he can sit and reflect on the Lord's goodness over the past 2 decades. 

There will be a sign placed by the well that reads:

"We dedicate this well in honor of N and his family for their many years of giving us the waters of life.
Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.
Wellspring Missions Team 2025."

A Prophecy that made this guy LEAVE Wellspring!

Shawn Lazar's testimony  Last week, I posted A Sad Story with a Surprise Ending  about the topic of fake prophets manufacturing things that look like prophetic words. At Wellspring, we had to make a decision about what to do with the invalid prophetic trickery that's going on out there. We decided it would be an overreaction to stop our own ministry. We decided it would be an under-reaction to just carry on without mentioning anything.  Instead, I made last week's post as a step toward transparency and addressing this issue head-on. On Sunday, when we do our own stage prophetic ministry, we will address the fake stuff going on and invite people into critically testing every word.  Today, I want to do two things. First, I want to give the link to a video and a paper that I put together to explain how to categorize prophetic words and subsequently test them. Click here to watch the video and/or read the paper Types, Tests, and Shelves for Prophetic words . Second, I wa...

This couldn’t wait...

Jerry, serving in the snack room at VBS As of the writing of this post, it’s 3:00 am. I woke up, realizing I hadn’t actually organized strategic prayer for Jerry Slagle yet, and this is no small matter. The original plan was to send out a VBS recap email, but that can wait until next week. Jerry has been fighting cancer for more than two years. Recently, he was given a very sad and scary report from his doctors that he only has limited time left, less than a year. However, two weeks before he got the report, a person on our prayer team had a dream that we believe was from God, telling us that “we need to pray for Jerry.”  Here is the text from that dream: Two weeks ago I had a very intense dream about Jerry Slagle.  In the dream, I knew that he was in a life or death scenario (I assumed the cancer). I was outside somehow gathering people together. We (church members) began urgently alerting each other one by one. Instinctively we began to form a path with people strategically ...

What is your assignment as a Disciple?

Image
From the Pastor's Desk In the sermon "The Job Description of a Disciple," I shared one of my favorite Christian practices: listening to, reading, and watching great Christian testimonies. I consider this a spiritual practice because it stirs my faith to hear how my brothers and sisters in Christ have gone before me, setting excellent examples of laying down their lives for Jesus.  Here is a list of testimonies and resources that could keep you reading, listening, and watching for years to come! I referenced the video about Nikolas Ludwig Von Zinzendorf:  The Rich Young Ruler Who Said Yes . I first heard of Zinzendorf on this Remnant Radio episode called " The Life of Count Zinzendorf. " Testimony Podcasts that I listen to: The Unseen Story (Miguel Valle's testimony is here, and I recorded one with them a week ago) Delafe Testimonies Compelled Podcast Voice of the Martyrs Testimony Books: Foxe's Book of Martyrs by John Foxe Seeking Allah Finding Jesus ...
