First Day Back in Peru

 Ok, so Em and I got here at 5:15 a.m. and its midnight and I'm still awake,  I sent a pastor to pick up Fernando and Gardenia at the airport when they got here from Ecuador about 11 this morning.  Fernando shows up, says the taxi driver wasn't a pastor, wasn't even a Christian, but he now was!  So we hire this guy to take us out to minister tonight.  He shows up in his Toyota Corolla with his wife in the front seat.  After 15 minutes Fernando led her to the Lord too. The 4 of us sitting in the back seat for 1.5 hours fighting rush hour traffic was a bit much. Gardenia was on Fernando's lap and Em and I were twisted up like pretzels.   I told Emily that this trip to Peru was like that taxi ride:  uncomfortable but with good fruit.

 
Good altar ministry tonight, several gave their hearts back to the Lord, many different needs expressed, mostly with respect to problems in their families.  Good start to the conference.  We'll see what the Lord brings tomorrow!

Heading Back to Peru this Wednesday

Tony and Emily are heading back to Lima, Peru.  They are going to minister in the churches of our friends in the San Martin de Porres district in the northern part of the city.  The highlight of the trip will be a Marriage and Family Conference hosted by the Rose of Sharon Church pastored by Pastors Max and Nelly Garcia.

Fernando and Gardenia Ubilla will be leading the conference with us.  They will be coming from their home in Guayaquil, Ecuador.  Fernando and Gardenia have a ministry in Ecuador called "Marriage for Life".  The Lord has blessed them with a very fruitful ministry, preaching on the topic in their city an average of 4 nights each week. 

The conference will be start this coming Thursday night, February 16, and will end on Saturday. The conference will be during the day and then the Nardellas and Ubillas will be free to minister in the churches during the evenings. 

Please pray for the strengthening of marriages and healing of wounded hearts.  We also pray for a rekindling of the relationships we have had with our Peruvian friends. Finally, pray that the Lord will provide the resources for the marriage booklet and materials we desire to publish, for the lunches we desire to feed the conference participants during the conference, and for the churches of San Martin and surrounding areas to be refreshed and strengthened in the Holy Spirit.

Ecuador Report - April 2010, Part 2

Sunday evening April 25 Preaching at Bautista Primavera – Pastor Emidgio Mariduena
 
Fernando drove us from the embassy to the church. We arrived a few minutes late as the pastor was in the middle of encouraging the people. He welcomed us warmly and had Fernando introduce us. Ray began with a word of encouragement from Isaiah 61:7 and encouraged the people that the Lord would restore His blessings to the people and that there is a double portion for them.

I spoke on John 11 and “Lazarus Come Forth!” The Lord wants us to be freed from our past and He wants the church to be the ministers of freedom – ‘Loose him and let him go.’ He wants the grave clothes to come off so that our hands and feet are free to worship Him, serve Him and do the work of the ministry; so that our feet are free to spread the Gospel and so that our steps are ordered by Him. He wants our face free so that our ears can hear His voice, our mouth can sing His praise and speak His Word and our eyes can see the vision He has for us. He wants the stench of sin and death to be removed from us so that we can spend time with Him and have His aroma on us. The Lord moved on the people. There were over 100 people in attendance and most of them came forward for prayer.
 
The Lord did miracles tonight like only He can! There was a word of knowledge given that the Lord was healing left leg ailments and conditions. Several people responded and He healed them all of pain and symptoms. I

prayed for a man that was suffering from arthrosis in his legs – deterioration of the bones and joints. The Lord healed this man. He began to bend his leg in ways that he was not able to before and removed the brace. He walked out of the church without it! People with back pain and nerve damage healed! The pastor’s wife was healed of spine problems. The doctors said there was no cure. But the Great Physician healed her – no pain! The Lord touched everyone that came for prayer. He is Great and He does miracles so great!
 
After the service the pastor invited us to dinner right down the street. So Ray and I had a chance to talk with him for about an hour. He is 75 years old and has never been to the doctor. He said that he loved his life and the fact that he was called to be a pastor. He said that he will pastor until the Lord takes him home. He said that he was not afraid to die, but just not ready yet, because he has more to do!
 
Monday April 26 Administration at CEAD Main Offices 11:00AM
After a great breakfast, Ray and I were taken to the new CEAD offices in downtown Guayaquil. We were going to minister to the administration staff that usually consisted of about 20 people if could get them all together. This did not include any pastors. Ray and I both shared on having a purpose. I spoke out of Psalm 133 and Hebrews 9 and talked about unity and covenant. I taught that we have been chosen by God and it was His idea to make a covenant with us and that His Word will come to pass. I discussed the aspect of leaving a will and how the benefit to the beneficiaries can only come after the death making the promise. I shared about the covenant meal in Psalm 23:6 and also mentioned David and Jonathan’s covenant in II Samuel. Covenant is so powerful; it can reach to the next generation as it did with Mephibosheth. David searched for him to honor the promise made to Jonathan, Mephibosheth’s father.

We then asked for those who wanted prayer for any reason. We ministered to all and the Lord touched the hearts of everyone. I remember it being a special sweet time of ministry. Many were crying as we prayed, the Lord confirming the Word with His presence. I met a man and wife there that I had ministered to for the first time in 2007. He said that I had given him a word that the Lord would open his wife’s womb and give him a child. He said that he saw me last year to confirm the word. I had remembered him then. He also said that I told him the Lord would give him a warrior son and his wife was holding the baby. She looked like she did not want me to pray for them anymore! The Lord is always faithful to perform His Word!
 
April 26 Evening Main Sanctuary CEAD
Ray and I were both to speak tonight but the schedule was changed as Pastor Loor was finally in town after being away for three weeks. We were contacted in the afternoon that they had added back two services to accommodate us. Since Ray was in charge, I let him make the decision as to what we would do. He decided to bow out and let me speak at the new 6:00PM service. I spoke on Psalm 105:19-24 and the spiritual battle that Joseph went through to get to his purpose. I paralleled it to the Christian walk and how we must go through many test because of the Word of God inside us. I encouraged the people to pass the test and stop blaming the devil for everything.
 
We had an altar call for whatever needs were there. If they needed a healing; if they needed deliverance; if they needed encouraged or if they needed filled with the Holy Spirit. There were about 300 people there and about 150 came to the altar. I prayed for many for healings and the Lord touched them: backs, necks, stomach problems, intestinal problems, deliverances, etc. I prayed for one woman who was healed of macular degeneration. The Lord restored her sight!
 
What a wonderful night of ministry! It is truly humbling to see the Lord touch people when I pray. I guess it is because I know who I am and what He has to deal with all the time.
 
Saints, be encouraged! If the Lord can work through me, you have a wonderful future ahead of you if you desire to be in ministry in any way. I would like to thank the Lord for His faithfulness to His Word and to me for allowing me the opportunity to be an open vessel. I would also like to thank my wife for being in agreement with me to go and minister. I cannot wait for the next time that we travel together again. That is the best! I would also like to thank Tony and H.O.T for allowing us to be a part of this great ministry and for Pastor Sam Hinn for blessing my trip as well!
 
Until next time – God bless you and your house!

Ecuador Report - April 2010

Heart of Titus Trip to Ecuador
April 21-27, 2010
Pastor Chuck Blystone
 
Missionary Notes
 
Wednesday April 21, 2010
Today was an early day as we had to be at the airport by 5:00AM in order to catch the flight at 7:00. The check in was easy as Ray Watson and I both had registered on line. We breezed through security and were on the plane by 6:15. The flight left Orlando on time for our layover in Panama City, Panama. The layover there was for almost 3 hours, and after having an early lunch, we boarded the plane at 11:15 for the 12:00 PM flight to Guayaquil, Ecuador.
 
L-R: Pastor Francisco Loor, Marcel Lopez, Ray Watson, Pastor Chuck Blystone  
 
Ray and I were both searched at customs. I told Ray that he should have taken a much lower profile as he looked like a drug runner. They went through all of Ray’s stuff, including his past life before Christ! Ray’s inspector finally eased up on her crusade against him when she came across the Bibles he was smuggling – well, not really smuggling – just hiding throughout the luggage in order to displace the weight – anyway, he began to tell her of the church in Vinces that we were a part of and that we were coming to help them. The Bibles changed her mind about Ray and we were off to be greeted by Miguel Saez, Drs. Freddy and Edith Beltran, Marcel Lopez and our coordinator, Fernando Ubilla. After they all hugged us, they decided we should go immediately to the embassy to get “ready” for tonight’s services. I am not really sure if I needed that much “readying” but I know that Ray was in dire need! Come to think of it, my 3:00AM shower and primping had worn off in Panama City! The cool Ecuadorian shower was very refreshing!
 
When we arrived, our schedule coordinator, Diana Garcia had our agendas in hand. I distinctly remember that she had called Fernando twice while we were coming from the airport to see where we were! I think she gave me time for three quick sips of water and we were off to discuss the schedules for the week! No shower yet, though!
 
Wednesday Evening – Preaching at CEAD South – Pastora Elsa de Loor
We arrived at the church a few minutes before the service was to begin. Fernando told me that he was given the responsibility to cover all of the Wednesday evening services of this particular church and wanted me to take his turn tonight! What a great friend to me and Heart of Titus! I found this out after the service as I had asked him to help me pray and minister to the people and he stayed back. He said that he wanted them to experience someone different.

I thought I knew what I was to preach on, but during the worship, the Lord took me to Luke 1 and told me to minister on “Being Pregnant With The Word.” The Lord continued to give me real life comparisons of being pregnant to being impregnated with the Word. He gave me many examples to encourage them to not ‘abort’ the Word of God in their life, but to let the pregnancy come to its full term so the Lord could birth their future for them. They would go through many labor pains in the process, but the Lord would be faithful to His Word that He put in them. I gave an altar call and asked those who have felt that they have aborted the Word to come for prayer for forgiveness and restoration; for those who have been discouraged and have been battling the enemy about their future; for those who needed to baptized in The Holy Spirit. Many came for ministry and the Lord touched all who came.
 
Thursday April 22 – The Radio Station
Today we had the morning off, enjoyed a late breakfast, and then left at 1:15 to the radio station associated with CEAD. There were about 12 people in attendance. Ray decided that we would tag-team and we both spoke about the purpose and plans of God for our lives. I ministered primarily out of Jeremiah 29:11 and Psalms 139:14-18. We encouraged them that the Word of the Lord in them would not return unto Him void, but would be accomplished in His time. Then we prayed for everyone and the Lord moved mightily. Many words of encouragement were given; some were prayed for healing in their bodies. One woman, in particular, was delivered of witchcraft. She and confessed the Lord Jesus as her Savior but never renounced those things in her life. She had prayed for a fresh in-filling of the Holy Spirit. As we prayed she was manifesting a spirit of divination and moving like a serpent as she was standing there. Ray and I both concluded the same thing and we asked her if she had participated in witchcraft and if she ever renounced it. She said that she had asked for forgiveness over and over. I taught a little about the Proverbs 26:2 and the birds and curses. The Lord showed me that we should start the process over again and begin with repentance from sin and, after she renounced the witchcraft, proceed with deliverance. The Lord set this woman free and everyone commented on the change in her countenance! The Lord was faithful! We then stayed for a birthday celebration of one of the workers and had a piece of cake! After that we traveled back to the embassy to prepare for the evening services. Ray and I would be preaching in different churches.
 
Evening April 22 – CEAD The Main Church
I prayed for this service this morning, knowing that I would be in the main church tonight with Sonia as my translator. Sonia Tapia is the head of the prophetic and intercessory ministry of CEAD. She and I had ministered together the first time I came to Ecuador in January 2007. I remember the Lord showing up with signs and wonders and knew that he wanted to something special tonight. He told me to minister on Luke 1:25-38, about Mary becoming pregnant with Jesus by The Holy Spirit. He showed me how to link her pregnancy with being pregnant with The Word and that, as a pregnant woman’s body changes under the demands of the baby, so our lives must change under the demands of the Word that id now living inside us. This morning the Lord told me that many have aborted His plans for their lives by not allowing Him to have charge of their lives; many were discouraged because they do not understand the process and gestation of the Word of God in their lives; and specifically, many woman needed to be set free of the guilt of having an abortion and the Lord wanted them to be restored. I found out that Dr Freddy and Edith would be in the service with me so had them pray for the woman having had the abortions. There were about 15 women who responded just to that call. The altar was packed and we prayed for all. Many people experienced immediate relief of symptoms, pain, etc. Many were delivered and many were encouraged to hold on for the Lord’s timing and their purpose to be fulfilled. It was, again, an honor and pleasure to minister at the main church.
 
Freddy and Edith brought me back to the embassy. Ray got here the same time and we discovered that Pastor Roberto Rios, from Santo Domingo, was coming to see us. We brought an offering for him from H.O.T. He finally got here at 11:00PM along with a team of his leaders. We talked for awhile and they shared with us about what they are doing in that part of Ecuador. They are ministering in a church as well as to street people. The street ministry has become a church in Laura Flores. They minister to drug addicts, alcoholics and prostitutes, along with the poor and destitute. They emphasized that these people have nothing when they meet them. Pastor Roberto and his church are trying to teach them how to live and take care of themselves. Most of the women keep having babies that they cannot afford to take care of, in housing conditions that are dangerous to live in, not to mention the thieves and robbers that will take anything you have, no matter how poor you are. Ray and felt the Lord telling us to pray for them. We had a couple of encouraging words for them and the power of the Lord showed up at midnight. All of them collapsed under the power of the Lord and were touched by Him. They were thankful for the offering we brought to them.

Friday April 23 in the morning
I thought that I would sleep in a while and after having a chance to talk with Becky for a few minutes, finally came down around 9:30. I want to make a note to say that I am so thankful for my wife and her willingness to sow me into this country as much as she does. I could not nor would not be here if she was not in agreement with me to come. Thanks you, Honey, for standing with me! I know that she will be coming sometime in the future with me.
 
Pastor Roberto and his team were already here beginning breakfast. We had a great meal of spiced beef, rice, fried plantain chips and eggs. I will not be eating the rest of the day! Ray and I had further discussions of the ministry of this church and how we could be of assistance in the future. They told us that their main need for the community in La Flores is water. I suggested they look into drilling wells and we talked about that for awhile. I mentioned that I know a church in Peru that has been doing that and that I would try to connect them so that they could get ideas on how they got started. I suggested that they try to get the local government to hook up with them – the church could get the work done and the officials could take the political credit! Pastor Roberto thought that might be a great idea. After an hour and a half, they had to leave and we spoke of possibly seeing them tomorrow at our Heart of Titus meeting. They really want to get to know us more. We agreed and also invited Pastor Roberto to come with us today to Vinces at 3:00PM. He mentioned that he wanted to see how we minister and I suggested he come as he would have a great opportunity tonight! I am not sure if he will or not as he is attending a pastor’s conference on leadership over the weekend. Well, I have to get ready to leave for Vinces. It is now 1:00PM. More later.
 
 
Friday evening April 23 CEAD Vinces
We traveled the two hour drive to Vinces to visit a new work that H.O.T help to start. The church had a rough beginning but the Lord has been faithful to the 35 who began the work. The church, since September 2009 has now about 200 attending. There is an excitement in the air as the people have a great expectancy in seeing the Lord move by His Spirit. When we arrived Fernando took us to see the River Vinces and the damage that the town had suffered from a flood not too long ago. The river had begun to take away the seawall that protected the city from the water. It literally washed some of the wall away and has weakened parts of the streets along the river bank. The town officials are concerned that more of the streets may collapse into the river as well, carrying some old precious buildings of history with it. The city is almost 150 years old and has a great commerce history. They are famous for the production of cacao and bananas. The cacao was sold mostly to Europe in the old days and it made the city wealthy. I was told that if you have ever eaten a banana from Ecuador, it was probably grown in Vinces.
 
We gathered at Dr. Manuel and Lupe’s home for dinner and refreshing before the church service. Manuel and Lupe are members of Heart of Titus, and a main link to the work in Vinces for us, along with Fernando. Vinces is Fernando’s home town. He is like the mayor – everyone knows him.
 
The church service started at 8PM. The worship was great. For a moment in the service, I started entering into the presence of God as heard Him talking to me – I thought I was at The Gathering Place! To our surprise, Dr. Manuel was leading the worship! He has an anointing for it!
 
Ray asked me to bring the main message earlier and said that he would bring a short word and then hand the service to me. Ray began to encourage them to not be offended by the past and to trust the leadership that God was raising over them. He talked about having a new heart and mind and also spoke about being in unity.
 
The Lord told me to speak on Lazarus and being freed from grave clothes. We had a great altar response. I asked those who needed to be saved or wanted to rededicate their lives to Jesus to come and stand off to my right so that we knew who they were. I also asked for those who needed the grave clothes to be removed to come to left and stand there. We had two people get saved tonight and about 12 recommit their lives! Fernando and Gardenia prayed for those people. There were an additional 50 to 60 people respond to being set free. I led them through a deliverance prayer and had them renounce the sins that they were aware of that hindered them. The rest of the team helped me and we commanded them to be free in Jesus’ Name! Many were falling under the power of God. Many were weeping uncontrollably. We also saw many healings: one woman had a severe heart pain that left her after she received prayer; one woman believed that she was healed and delivered of epilepsy. A mother brought her son to me to ask for prayer for him. The Lord showed me that he was called to heal the sick so I prayed for him to be used; then I received a word that there were some with back pain. About 5 people came forward and I had the little boy – his name is Alvaro – pray for these people. Every one of them felt the pain leave them! He later prayed for his father for the same thing! Then a woman came to me telling me she was going blind with glaucoma. We prayed for her about seven times and each time she saw a little better. Sensing a resistance, I asked her why she was having difficulty with receiving her healing. She told me that she told the Lord that he could heal her a little at a time. I asked her if I bought you a car, would you go down to the car dealer and take parts of the car home with you or would you drive it away. She said I would take the car immediately. I reminded her that Jesus paid for her healing. I asked her if she wanted parts of the healing now or the whole thing. She said I want the whole thing. I led her in a prayer of repentance and had her tell Jesus, “Lord, I have changed my mind. Since you have already purchased my healing, I have decided to receive it all right now. OK?” When we prayed for that time, her vision was restored! Hallelujah! We stayed and prayed for everyone wanting prayer and then prayed for all of the leadership. Many words of encouragement were given. We left the church at 12:30AM! I think we actually ministered to all who attended that night. It was a great night and the Lord gets all the glory. I prayed when I came into my room that He would seal every healing and every word of encouragement with His Holy Spirit. To God be the Glory!
 
Saturday April 24 Heart of Titus meeting – Miguel and Judy Saez’s home
We all met at Miguel and Judy’s home for a Heart of Titus meeting. Of course, we had to eat before we had our meeting as Judy would not allow us to do anything else! We had a great meal of pork chops in orange sauce with rice and for dessert they served us guava and coconut whipped with some cream like a jello – yes, it was very good!
 
Ray led the meeting by asking everyone how they were doing and what the Lord was showing them or doing in their lives. Everyone shared about how the Lord was challenging them to move higher in their call and make a difference in the Kingdom.
 
Ray and I had agreed earlier to pray for everyone before we went off to ministry. We laid hands on all of the team. We started with Miguel and Judy – the Lord gave us a word about Miguel and Judy raising up leaders and pastors under them for Green Camp so that they can begin to get a rest from their labors; Byron and Leonora asked for prayer for Byron as he was to have a small surgery so we asked the Lord to heal him – he was touched by the Lord; we prayed for Jacquie for guidance in her family situation – we prayed and the Lord blessed her with His presence. We encouraged her to not be in any condemnation as she has been faithful throughout this whole ordeal. The peace of the Lord came. We prayed for Fernando and Gardenia for the Lord to increase them in the working of miracles as well as the marriage ministry. We also prayed for Marcel and Byron Alfredo and asked the Lord to use them both as doctors and also in the ministry.
 
Saturday evening April 24 Rios de Aqua Vivos – Pastor Miguel Barrera
When we arrived at the church, they were in worship. During the worship the Lord told me to preach from Hebrews 12:1-2. I was to encourage them to keep running the race and to not quit. I had Ray give a greeting and he encouraged the people to keep trusting the Lord in all they do. Marcel and I walked to the pulpit and both had the same feeling. The pulpit was located about 40 feet away from the main congregation and down a smaller sized part of the floor plan. It look like we were preaching from the Holy of holies out into the outer court! After about 10 minutes I decided to go to the people and minister with them instead of away from them. I spoke about laying aside the weight and the sin s that distract us from running the race. I also spent some time explaining about the requirements of the law regarding sin and why Jesus died. The Lord was moving on many people and hearts were being dealt with as we spoke. We gave an altar call for anyone needing to be saved; anyone needing to be delivered of entrapping sins and anyone needing a healing. That altar was flooded. There were about 100 people in the church and about 60-70 came forward to be prayed for. There were many people that came for prayer for healing and walked away with no pain after years of suffering; Jacquie and Maggie were praying for the children and the power of God was touching them – they were praying for the Lord to bless them. Many were encouraged as they received prophetic words about their lives. Two people that I know of came to Jesus tonight! Glory adios!
 
Sunday April 25 preaching at CEAD del Norte – Mario Ortega Leader
This morning I spoke on Luke 1 and becoming pregnant with the Word of God. I could see that many hearts were being softened as I ministered. I also related the story of Joseph and his trials in Genesis 39 and how the Lord’s Word grew inside of him and fashioned his life for his purpose. I gave an altar call and asked those that needed salvation to come forward. I also asked those who had tried to abort the Word of God in their lives to come and get forgiveness and cleansing; in addition, I asked for those who have been discouraged because it seems that the promises of God will not come for them – that we would pray for them to be encouraged! There were about 35 people in the church and most came forward for prayer. We prayed for many different things: from financial problems to healing to salvation. One young gave her heart Jesus this morning! Hallelujah! There two that I prayed for that were healed of pain and symptoms – one with severe kidney pain and infection and the other with a urinary infection that was giving her trouble. Both women walked away free of symptoms and pain! One woman was troubled about her family and I prayed with her to trust the Lord and get out of the way. I encouraged her to stop preaching at them and to start loving on them and let the Lord speak to them. I also prayed for the peace of God to fill her heart. She had a difficult time getting breakthrough to receive peace, but she stood strong and we kept praying until the Lord definitely touched her. She stood up smiling and shining with His presence. The service closed after the church prayed for the Lord to protect us and prosper us and for the Lord to give us revelation in His Word. I received all of that, Amen!

 Dr. Freddy Beltran, healing evangelist from Ecuador, is coming to the USA. He and his family will be here in the Orlando area on April 27, staying until May 11.  We've been asked to help coordinate Freddy's itinerary while he is here.  If you have an interest in hearing Freddy and his wife Edith's testimony of how Edith was healed of colon cancer and how the Lord has used them to heal

people all over the Western Hemisphere, contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  

Freddy and his family will be coming here likely on the same plane Ray Watson and Chuck Blystone will be on as they return from Ecuador. They are going down on the April 21, planning to minister primarily in the main city of Guayaquil.

I spoke tonight with our team coordinator in Ecuador, Fernando Ubilla.  He says that our team is now leading 3 different home groups where they are teaching married couples biblical concepts of marriage.  The first one started last summer and now they have 3.  

Fernando reports that most team members are doing well but he did ask for prayer for Judy Saez.  Judy is the wife of Pastor Miguel Saez and they are nearly 80 years old.  Many of you know that Pastor Miguel and Judy were in a car accident right after Christmas.  They were coming back from Green Camp (where they pastor a church) and they were in a bad accident.  Judy broke her arm and separated her shoulder, and is still in a lot of pain.

 Everyone knows that Miguel deeply loves his people at Green Camp, and especially the poor children there.  They feed over 100 children per week but because of the accident and Judy's slow and painful recovery they have not been able to visit their church for almost 3 months!  Please pray for a quick healing for Judy and that the Lord will comfort them while they are missing their church, that the Lord would comfort the people while they miss their pastor, and that the leaders who have stepped up to handle the work of the ministry would be anointed by God to lovingly feed and care for the poor people of that church.
