PORTUGAL FIRE UPDATE.

We are living in very challenging, powerful, and faith contending days. We have expanded in ways which we could only have dreamt three years ago. About the time we first came into contact with Ian Johnson from His Amazing Glory Ministries http://www.hisamazinggloryministries.org/

In 1995 we moved to Portugal from UK and laboured without alot of fruit for many years.Recently the Lord had me refocus in the right direction. I have been involved in full time ministry for the last 5 years. Portugal had not opened up that much, not in my focus, nor my spirit. Most of the network ministry done was done outside of Portugal which Seemed contradictory. But the Lord confirmed a vision of the nation of Portugal and how God wanted us to focus first on our "Jerusalem."

A firm contact with Pastor Ian Johnson of New Zealand sealed things spiritually, confirming a vision that he had had there so far away. ,(click here to read) We are constantly in contact with Ian from His Amazing Glory Ministries, who have blessed us considerably. Also Kathie Walters has been a constant blessing to our ministry, since we changed focus.

In 2009 we are growing, now Over 50 Portuguese pastors have becameaffiliated with our network of Churches with clearly defined objectives, "revival in the nation." since January 3 more churches have been planted.

Quinta da Paz
Evangelistic meetings organized by Jan Ennis are being held in Quinta da Paz and there is a powerful display of the power of God in that young people's meeting. We really believe that the prophecy of Pastor Ian Johnson,(click here to read) and the dreams that he had for our region are coming to pass. Many young people have been impacted and come to faith in the meetings at Quinta da Paz, which is undergirded by intercession the night before, on the mountain.

São Pedro da Cova
This Church was planted not even 6 months ago, and already we have around 30 people attending, with over 5 people baptized in water last Sunday. This town is a centre of prostitution and abstract poverty. This church with the leadership of Pastor Márcio Melo, is always at prayer. This Church is part of our network, Chama Viva.
We are expanding and we need the intercession of the saints, we cannot constantly have our arms up. We thank all those who are praying, and sending seed.
