Prayer and Praise Report

We're in our second week in India: conducting open-air Gospel and Healing Festivals, leading "Ignite the Fire" Training Seminars for pastors and leaders, dedicating churches and fresh-water wells. The weather has been wonderful and the response to Jesus has been amazing!

I'm thrilled to be ministering with Clarence and his son, Ernest. Clarence is a pastor in India who introduced me to this harvest field ten years ago. This trip marks my 26th time to India, and by the grace of God, we have reached 420,735 decisions for Christ! We are well on our way to reaching one million decisions for Jesus by the end of 2010.

Currently we're at Maripeda Banglow, Telangana which is 190 kilometers from Hyderabad. This photo that I've included is of a young girl who could not hear in one ear. Her mother testified to her saying earlier that day, "Maybe if we go to the festival God will heal my ear." She came to the altar to receive prayer and God miraculously restored her hearing.

Praise God for the faith of a child!

The other picture is of the outpouring at the alter on the second night of the festival. We set a record: 1,800 decision cards for Christ were received! Praise God for the harvest!

Thank you for your prayers and support... together we are reaping a great harvest!

Intentional for souls,

Hi Oasis Team,

How cool is it to get web updates as events are unfolding! It sounds like the festivals have been awesome! Hopefully all the kids will bring their parents from now on. We contine to pray for you guys (and girls) during the trip. Let us know if we can help in any other way.
