Wednesday night was our first night of ministering. I preached in a church in Vinces where there was no pastor appointed yet, but was led by a group of leaders. 

I preached on "Restoration" encouraging the people that God's will is to heal, prosper, and save our families. I gave the altar call and about 75% of the congregation came forward. After the service I was taken to Dr. Manuel’s house and there I spoke to worship leaders and prayed for them. There was about 20 in attendance.

Friday night I preached at Pastor Roberto Rios’ church in Santa Domingo. I was compelled again by the Spirit to preach on "Restoration."  I gave testimonies of Cindy's healing and also how God restored my daughter's marriage. When I gave the altar call there was a strong presence of the Lord, my translator Maria could not even translate because of such a heavy presence.
 
 After several minutes of not being able to talk I began to minister to those who responded to the altar call. People were falling out in the Spirit. A woman came forward with her husband and said she was having a hard time trusting her husband because someone had told her that he had an affair with another woman, but the person who told her that came back later and said she lied. The wife still had her doubts so she went to a witch doctor to find out if he did have an affair. I had her pray a prayer of repentance and had her denounce her involvement with witchcraft, which caused the demons in her to manifest. I took authority over them in the Name of Jesus and she was set free. Her countenance changed from cold, angry, and withdrawn to joyful, loving and hugging her husband. Several were saved, and one was healed of a stomach condition.
 
Saturday afternoon I had a worship workshop with the worship leaders in participating churches in Santo Domingo. There were about 30 to 40 in attendance. To be honest I felt inadequate and intimidated because their style of music is different from ours. But I went ahead and taught on the heart of worship and afterward we worshipped together.
 
After the teaching I called them up so I could pray for them. The power of God was present, the gift of prophecy was operating and all the leaders went out in the Spirit except for a few. Praise God! After the service I sang a couple of songs in Spanish which they wanted to learn. It was a wonderful time getting around the keyboard and singing with them.
