Day eight in Peru was a “heaven on earth” experience. We began the day by going to the property where the new church is being built. We video taped the pastor praying specifically for Judah Praise Center’s building program and then all four of us apostles from the US picked up dirt and we prophesied over the ground and prayed for the pastors and the church, annunciating growth in every way and their effects upon the city and the region.
We then went for a spiritual tour of the city of Ica which was nearly destroyed by an 8.1 earthquake only 3 years ago. The Roman Catholic Church has produced a false Christ of control and manipulation over the people and those churches were all damaged beyond use in the earthquake. None of the known living churches in the city suffered the debilitating damages that the Roman Catholic Churches did. We saw the anti-christ figures, statues and monuments along with the strong Freemason influence everywhere in the city. I heard the Lord say that He has sent me here to face this giant of anti-christ in this land.
Rick & Joshua went to the city of Chichen to minister. The lady pastor was suffering from a spinal injury and in great pain. I told them to do what ever needs to be done to get that woman of God healed. Once they were made aware of who the pastor was, Rick went directly to her and began to break the power of the devil over her that tried to take her life. He spoke alignment and healing into her body and that pastor was completely healed in the name of Jesus Christ! They reported that as far as they could tell, every person that they laid their hands upon received their miracle healing through the power of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God!
The evening service was once again totally full with even more people standing out in the streets trying to hear. Kevin and I got to the church a little early and watched the people coming in with an excited and happy look. Worship is very lively in this El Shadai Church of Ica, Peru. They have a really good anointed sound with a breakthrough power to it.
I preached on the false antichrists that the religious presented to the people in the days that Jesus walked the earth. The pharisees said, “Give us Barabbas” meaning another son of the father or a false christ. I then called the people to come out from under the power of those false christs and break every other representative of some kind of religion away from themselves and their homes.
I called for repentance and telling them that the real Christ was present to forgive them of their sins and set them free from sin and Marco led them into the total commitment to Christ. About 100 people came forward to commit themselves to the Lord. But then the most wonderful thing began to take place. I felt and knew that the Lord Himself was present with us. The people prayed and many wept but all were tremendously moved by all appearances.
We did not pray for the people individually but let the Lord Himself touch the people. They did not leave the front. No one left the church at all. Everything seemed to be in slow motion and one of the stingiest anointings that I’ve every felt was present to heal, deliver and set free.
We then felt release to ask the people what happened to them during all of this, here’s what they said:
The first one was a young man who saw Jesus in hills, calling him out to the people to minister to them
A lady saw Jesus Christ in the front of the church and smelled a beautiful fragrance
An older man saw 5 flashes of light come down from heaven into the room
A woman experienced Jesus coming and hugging her, wrapping her in His arms
A young man said that Jesus spoke to him personally, saying, “You are not here by accident.”
A lady whom I watched for sometime during the evening who was rather bent in her stature testified that the Lord Himself, came to her and took away all the infirmity in her body. He blew on the back of her neck and her body straightened and the pain went away completely.
Another lady had a tumor in her left breast completely disappear
A lady reported that a tumor in the left breast is disappeared in the presence of the Lord. She also was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst which she was feeling the pain of and the Lord took all that pain and she knows she is healed
A lady was healed of chronic pain as Jesus came Himself and hugged her and said, "I will never forsake you!"
An older gentleman had a vision of this city under a bright light which then became brighter.
A woman’s spinal column was healed and straightened and she said that for the first time in many years she is standing without pain going down her leg and even her feet very hot and burning but Jesus took it all away.
A woman had two tumors on her breasts and they both disintegrated while standing there.
Another woman has an appointment for surgery to remove a tumor from her breast and they may have to remove her breast completely, but Jesus touched her and the tumor is no longer there and there is no pain what so ever.
A man had oppression in his head the Lord grabbed his hand and the paralysis was healed.
A lady had an ovarian cyst she felt a physical touch right where the cyst was and it is now gone
Another lady had pain in the hip and spine for years. While she stood the Lord Himself touched her hip and now she can move it and she jumped to show off her healing. Her family was elated! Then she told us that she also gall stone but the pain is gone and she will now not need any surgery.
There is a feeling in the air here that revival may have come to this great people. We are excited to see what tomorrow will bring.

The church overflowed out into the street ... People listened to the freeing Message of Gods love from the marketplace and healing has begun to flow in the streets & restaurants after the meetings !
Day seven started very early for us as we set our alarms and awoke at 5:30 am to get coffee and fruit for breakfast and then into the wild taxi rides to the airport in Piura. We had quite a wait for our plane to come but eventually we boarded a Boeing 737-200 bound for Lima. In Lima we collected our luggage and were met by Juan Carlos and taken by Vantaxi to a nice apartment to have lunch and organize our luggage for the trip to the south. We then got into the wild taxi’s again and were dropped off on a Lima street where we waited for a bus to take us south. This wait was a cultural experience in itself but soon we boarded a full bus with spanish movies being played for a 4+ hour ride to the southern city of Ica, Peru. We were met at the bus stop by the pastor and a couple of taxi’s and went the to pastor’s home where we put our luggage down and hurried out the door. By now it was about 8 PM and church had started at 7 PM, so the people were in high praise and at the end of the second song I was introduced.
Oh how the Lord rescue’s us! I was nauseated to a critical state from the bus ride and the whole day’s travel was fatiguing but I preached the inheritance of the kingdom and there was such a breakthrough in the spirit! The people began to be healed immediately and I’m pretty sure that every person who came forward by the word of knowledge was healed of the infirmity that they brought unto the Lord this night.
One woman had been missing a piece of her leg bone following an operation and for years has limped with pain. I measured her leg and it grew out to normal so quickly that we almost missed the first measurement of the leg length. She stood to her feet and her body frame was straight and she walked away normal and praising God!
The folks in the middle came all the way from Argentina for healing and they received it last night in the meeting ... Her back had been in pain her spine was out of alignment and he needed hip surgery .. Not any more... Praise God
A woman from Argentina came to the meetings having traveled all day. She had a hip replacement but a mistake was made by surgeons that left her body frame crooked. Marco and I laid hands upon her and watched God manipulate her body and she became pain free and walked straight. She wept for joy, thanking Jesus with such grateful tears.
The church was so full that the people were standing in the street to hear the meeting and watch from afar. I felt so bad from the travel and so involved with the meeting that I did not even bring my camera to the meeting so I’m sorry but we don’t have any photos for this meeting. We will get testimonies and see more of the meetings that will follow, however.
We are once again thinking that revival could happen here in Ica, Peru. I will write more about this place in tomorrow’s report, since I will have actually seen the city in the daylight and with a view from a rested state of mind and body.
Speaking of rest, we all slept long and well last night. I think we all dreamed important dreams that we have begun to converse about. We are all well and happy to be in Peru. We feel that it is like we have a front row seat watching the Spirit of the Lord form a nation for His glorious intentions. It is well with our souls…

Day six in Piura, Peru on Wednesday, 23rd February, 2011 and the sun is shining we had a delicious fruit breakfast again. The fruit is Peru has so much more flavor that anything that we have in the US. We did mostly administrative things today and prepared for the meeting. In the afternoon, a lady from the church who owns a large turkey farm brought us a big meal of turkey, chicken, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and breads and we went into the hotel restaurant to see this big spread that was similar to a Thanksgiving meal in America. This was a labor of love by this lady.
In the meeting we began with testimonies. We started by hearing from a lady who had been deaf in her left ear completely and had digestion problems. The night before we prayed for her digestion problems by breaking the power of the devil and her hearing came back into her ear as well as healing to her digestion. She also said that the joy of the Lord came upon her for the first time in her life and she laughed uncontrollably. She said that every time she thought of this during the day she would begin to laugh again. This was a great testimony to start with.
Pastor Marco taking people's testimonies at the meeting
This lady said that her husband came with her because of the miracle that took place in her and he is suffering from the results of a stroke with paralysis in his right side. Kevin pulled him up out of his chair and told him to straighten his right arm out and his arm straightened immediately and he began to laugh and talk and walk. A university professor also testified that he had received healing from multiple things in his body and all pain that was crippling him was gone. He had not been able to move his shoulder for a very long time, I think years, and he swung his arm around free to show the people. But, he said the greatest thing to him was a joy that he began feeling and has remained the whole time that we have been here preaching.
We found ourselves praying for a lady that had nerve damage in the face of a lady as well as having an injured spine. We were told while we were praying for her that this was the lady that brought us the turkey meal today. She had delivered the meal and set it up for us but was not there when we came into eat so we actually didn’t know who she was until we were laying hands on her. The pain in both her spine and her face disappeared by the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we blessed her and her entire household. She was very happy, indeed…
We watch the older women in the wheelchair that we prayed for the night before, stand all by herself and even cross her legs and the people praised the Lord with shouts of joy for they knew she could not move her legs when she first came to the meetings.
After numerous other testimonies we began calling people out by words of knowledge and watched the Lord heal, deliver and liberate many. I sealed the meetings with a prophetic prayer for the pastors and the people and the region of northern Peru. We said our good byes with lots of kisses, hugs and handshakes.
We left the church and went to a restaurant near the city square for a salad and then into the crazy taxi’s to back to our hotel for a short sleep before leaving the city of Piura.
We began day five in Peru in the city of Piura with a fruit breakfast at the city center square. We then went to a smaller village or town that had a square with and interesting open market. We walked around and enjoyed the Peruvian people. Our day was relaxing, but both Kevin & Joshua [...]

We began day five in Peru in the city of Piura with a fruit breakfast at the city center square. We then went to a smaller village or town that had a square with and interesting open market. We walked around and enjoyed the Peruvian people.
Our day was relaxing, but both Kevin & Joshua have caught a peruvian bug in their digestive system and both are very sick. Kevin started recovering and actually went to church with us, but Joshua remained in bed moaning from the effects of the bug. This is probably because of the strange bacterias that the body is not used to and they are apt to be found in any nation. Kevin, although being slowed down with the same bug is a day or so ahead of Joshua and quite a bit better.
The people of Piura
The Church service was exciting. I preached some of the basics of inheritance concerning the kingdom of God and how Jesus made us superior to the kingdom of darkness in every way. I told the people how Jesus gave His disciples power and authority over the demons and they came back with joy saying, “Master, even demons are subject to us in Your name!”
I then announced a new day for Peru with a day of healing and breaking the power of the evil bondages upon the people of this nation.
Rick then made some powerful declarations about a shift taking place in Peru and and that Peru would even have global effects.
Kevin Ford praying for a woman in a wheelchair
Kevin then began to release words of knowledge for divine healing. An older woman in a wheel chair walked for the first time in 2 years. She was in pain and told us of an almost paralyzing loneliness and sadness she was carrying. Not only did she walk but the pain left her body and joy came upon like never before.
We all kept praying for people and saw many miracles during the evening before we blessed the people and left for our hotel. Tomorrow we’ll get some testimonies from people who experienced miracles.
It is hot and humid here in Piura and the mosquitos love american flesh…
We awakened early on day four of Mission: Peru 2011 in the city of Chepen to catch a bus that took us back to the city of Chiclayo to meet up with Kevin, Rick, Brian Park and Jonathan Llinella. We then boarded another bus bound for Piura that turned out to be a 3 1/2 [...]
The Team with the Pastor in Piura
We awakened early on day four of Mission: Peru 2011 in the city of Chepen to catch a bus that took us back to the city of Chiclayo to meet up with Kevin, Rick, Brian Park and Jonathan Llinella. We then boarded another bus bound for Piura that turned out to be a 3 1/2 hour ride. Once in the city of Piura we were met by the pastor of the church we are ministering in. He is a very lovable man and we seemed to have an instant relationship in the spirit. We set up our camp in the Imperio Hotel of Piura that is operated by christians with pictures and decorations that are evangelical in nature.
This woman's eyes were healed... she sat in the crowd as we prayed for another man her vision became clear ... Then the hearing in her right ear came back !!
We rested from the stringent work we’ve been doing and I think all of us had visions and dreams concerning the work of the kingdom that we are committed unto here. Thus, when we got to the church the service had begun and I went right into the pulpit and began to preach the kingdom of God. The Lord had shown me that this was the time for the people to begin to see. See the Lord and His angels and the activities of the kingdom. I preached from Mark 16 where Jesus had risen from the dead and “appeared” to Mary Magdalene so I proclaimed His “appearance” to the people. I discussed how Jesus told Nathanael that he would “see” angels. There is a real resistance to angels in the living church in most of Peru, s dealing with the subject must be done with care not to offend but to enlighten. The kingdom of God was strictly separated from the kingdom of darkness once again as I preached and I opened up a place for Rick Wilson to begin some declarations over the land. But before I turned the meeting to Rick, Joshua Anderson jumped up and took the microphone and began a prophetic exhortation on becoming “like” or in the “image” of the Lord Jesus Christ. This was very powerful and the people continued to be at attention and the presence of the Lord was evident.
When Rick got the microphone, he began making declarations concerning the pastor, the church and their influence upon the northern region of Peru (Piura being near the border of Ecuador). These proclamations were anointed to move the people into a whole new place in the region.
Kevin Ford then began to call words of knowledge for different sicknesses and the miracles of healing began. We healed a number of people in this miraculous kingdom atmosphere that the Lord gave to us by the power of His Holy Spirit.
We awoke to another beautiful day today, this the 3rd day of our Mission: Peru 2011.

Wayne C, Joshua & Marco outside the church in Chepen
We awoke to another beautiful day today, this the 3rd day of our Mission: Peru 2011. The northern city of Chepen comes alive on Sunday mornings as the people come from the mountain country and the agricultural areas to sell their goods in a kind of farmers market. They shut many of the streets down and the place fills with people. We went with the pastors to a restaurant for breakfast in another town called Guadeloupe. The little restaurant serves fresh turkey in bread rolls and a kind of spicy tamale that was delicious. The coffee is grand in Peru and gives the needed wake up jolt…
Preaching in Chepen
mountain has large antennas on its top and it is called the Blue Mountain. All three have altars and many pagans make treks up the mountains to sacrifice, chant and pray to some god that they yield themselves unto.
A lady who's knees were healed of pain.
We returned to Chepen and rested before our Sunday Church service. Church began at 5 pm and we rode in a 3 wheeled motorcycle taxi through town to the church building. Worship went for about two hours and there were somewhere close to a thousand people in the place. I preached on the authority that is in the name of Jesus Christ, using the story of Peter healing the man at the gate called Beautiful in Acts chapter three. I reiterated the difference of the kingdom of God verses the kingdom of the devil and taught the people that the name of Jesus gives authority to heal the sick and cast out demons. I declared to them that the shamans and witch doctors have no authority in comparison to the believer who speaks for Jesus Christ. In His name means we have His authority and the demon powers must submit.
Chepen, Peru from our hotel

Chepen, Peru
On day two in Peru, Joshua, Marco and I went to the bus station and caught a bus for an hour and a half ride to the city of Chepan. We were met by the pastor and the assistant pastor of the Church we are ministering in. They took us first to drop our luggage off at a hotel called the Dorado Hotel of Chepen. We then went to have lunch at the church in a restaurant that is on premises. After eating we were taken upstairs and interviewed on the church’s radio station and invited the people to come out to the services.
Taken back then to the hotel to change our attire for ministry we came back to the church where around 100 cell group leaders assembled for ministry from us.
I taught these leaders about the substance of God and the love of the Father. They were tremendously moved and showed all of the classic signs of spiritual hunger. I prayed for them corporately and invited them to agree with me as I preach to the people in the night service. It was a very powerful time and the pastors reported to Marco that the presence of Christ was so significant that it was life changing to them all.
Chepen and the surrounding mountains
I compared the power of God’s kingdom to the kingdom of the devil, the one whom the shamans and the new age witches give there allegiances unto. I described power and spent time talking about how electric power was nothing in comparison to the power of the Love of God. I continually preach the kingdom of God in such a way that I am separating the differences in the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of Light.
While we were sitting in a coffee shop in the city center, resting and awaiting the evening service, the power went out in the whole city. Pastor Dante said he did not know of that sort of thing ever happening before. They brought us a candle to our table in the restaurant and we continued to talk for another hour or so before returning to the church for the service. When we got to the church they were using a generator for lights and sound. Sometime during the worship service, the power went back on in the city but many here assumed that it was because I was preaching about power that the power actually went off. The devil was fighting us, is what they said. This lack of power caused the people to stay away from the church service so the pastors were apologizing for the poor turnout.
None the less, we preached the kingdom of God and I prophesied a revival in Peru. We prayed for the people and again, not only were there healing miracles but more importantly the Lord was pouring out His love to the people. A little girl who said she was 10 years old, was crying in her mother’s arms. Marco asked the mother why she was crying to which the mother replied that she had seen Jesus in went we were ministering to people. Marco asked if she had ever seen anything like that before and her mother said that this is the very first time she had ever seen anything spiritual and acknowledge it. So, Marco and I interviewed the little girl who told us that she opened her eyes and saw Jesus walking amongst the people and loving them – each of them. This was a very powerful atmosphere to be ministering in. And we are definitely looking forward to what the next day will bring.
Now it is important to note that in every service that we have ministered, someone has seen Jesus come and minister. I believe this to have important apostolic implications and could be a sign and wonder that might even be a nucleus for revival in this nation of Peru.
As a team, we have not had much time to talk together. Rick is in a city doing services where similar things are taking place. Kevin remains in the church in Chiclayo having the same. I am really wanting to get some time in the next day or so to actually hear the reports of their services and the things that they are seeing done.
Joshua, Marco & I are very excited about these happenings. We have all been ministering in the miraculous for many years and we feel that this is a new and exciting day. It is possible that something very big is going to take place in Peru in the coming months and years that will be written in the history books of the church – the ecclesia of the living God…
Be sure to know that Jesus Christ is being magnified and His ministry is being manifested in Peru in this important hour.
We will be another day with the church here in Chepen tomorrow, Sunday, 20th, February, 2011. I believe that history is being written in the “book of remembrance” of the Lord and perhaps even the “Book of the wars of the Lord” that the scripture speaks of.
