Day 11
We left the hotel and went to the airport to fly to Tabatinga on the border of Peru and Columbia. We visited Columbia for approx 1 hour and had a coffee in the local café before returning to our hotel to get ready for the evening service.

It was a very lively meeting and all the small churches got together for the miracle meeting, I think the churches in our town could learn a lot from these humble people.

Over 80 people accepted Jesus as their Lord and a very many received miracles and testified of their own miracle.

Day 12
We caught a fast boat at 8.00am for a trip to the next city called Sao Paulo not to be confused with the big city of Sao Paulo. We arrived after a 6-hour trip and was met with a cavalcade of motor bikes, it was a real Presidential welcome as they were pipping their hooters and many other processional outriders.

After we were taken to a very humble hotel we prepared for the meeting later. The meeting was very lively and approx. 80 accepted Jesus as Lord for the first time.

There were numerous miracles, the first one was a man with crutches who had been in a motorcycle accident, David threw away his crutch and prayed and he was healed, Julie walked around the room with him.

Day 13
Today was in the same church, David challenged them to bring everyone who was sick and everyone who needed their sins forgiven the night before.

Day 14
At the same church, the people brought their friends who needed a miracle approx. 25 in all and just has the Word of God says all were healed. Andrew testified to his salvation from being a catholic and Helen and Julie sang to the people. Julie invited the people who had been brought by their friends to come forward. The whole team prayed and great miracles took place.

One man who had a stick could not walk was totally healed, another man who was paralyzed by a stroke and had a large cancer on his stomach also was healed and walked around the room unaided.

A young boy who had asthma was healed and 4 accepted Jesus as Lord. There was a young man who could not clench his fist after prayer he was healed, next day he brought 9 of his unsaved friends to the church prayer meeting as they knew that he had received a miracle.

This hopefully should be a consideration for the Christianity in the UK as 1 miracle will bring in the lost into the church. This is the key to why Brazil has come from mainly all Catholic to now over 60% Born Again and why cults like Mormons and JWs are very small. Without miracles, the people see no point of the church. All other religions and cults teach on morality and help the poor, but only the true church has the gifts of miracles.

Day 15
We travelled by fast boat for 2 hours to Amatura another small town on the Amazon river. This was our first free night so we had a rest.

Day 16
We went to the Radio station to tell the town about miracles and invited the whole town of 5000 people to the meeting. We asked them to bring every blind, mute, crippled and people with every sickness to the meeting at night.

At the meeting, there were only approx. 300 people however this was a great service. Over 100 people accepted Jesus as their Lord for the first time. There were also many miracles including a boy who was deaf.

Along with her husband who could not move or clench his hand.

Day 17
We travelled again by fast boat to San Antonio. We were taken by car to a jungle hotel. Later as we had a night off from ministry we were invited to the 5th Festival of God’s people, where there was food and drink (absolutely no alcoholic drink).

There was some wonderful dancing from the boys and girls of the church that I was going to minister in on Sunday and Monday. All the children down the Amazon are so friendly and walk around at night on their own with no problems.

Day 19
Every day we hear of miracles that are still taking place 2 & 3 days after we have visited that town. We have just heard that a lady who came for prayer and was anointed was holding her baby when it died. She decided to trust Jesus and to pray for the child and the baby rose from the dead. Many others in the towns are giving their lives to Jesus when they hear of the miracles. Also, we have been told that we are the first white people to minister on this part of the Amazon.

A man with heart problems who had been to the hospital but they could do nothing for him He felt totally different after prayer.

Also, a man with suspected cancer felt all the pain go after prayer.

Day 20
We travelled the city on Tonatins again on the banks of the river, we arrived 1 hour before the meeting was to take place. On the boat, there was a lady who was being taken to Manaus this would have been a journey of approx 30 hours, she had had a stroke and she was lying on the blanket at the rear of the boat seemingly unconscious.

Julie asked her husband if she needed a Pastor, we prayed for her and she came around looking well, Julie continued with her, eventually she could move her hands and speak. Her husband was so grateful. Apparently, she was a Christian, so we believe this was an appointment made in Heaven.

Our meeting was in a new church of only 5 years old and there was approx. 90 people there. Over 40 accepted Jesus for the first time and there were many miracles that took place.

A man who had problems in his stomach for many years was healed.
