Congresso da Paz 2010

Jul 03, 2010 | Written by Nate Reutter | 5 responses

Congresso da Paz 2010 was a huge success. The Paz worship team ministered powerfully and launched their new CD. Missionary/Pastor Abe Huber delivered the Word of Life with anointing and conviction. The testimony of ex-soccer player João Leite had a huge impact. The three-night drama involving huge sets, dances, a sweeping story-line awed and inspired. But more than ever this year, God took center stage as there were a number of awesome healings including a deaf woman hearing and speaking again, a wheel-chair bound paralytic walking. Tumors completely disappeared and bad backs were completely restored (just to name a few of the healings that took place). But that doesn’t even mention the greatest miracle of all — salvation — of which 1,374 people gave their lives to the Lord! Hallelujah!

Each one of these new Christians will be visited personally by a cell-group in their area (if they don’t already have one). They will be invited to the cell group and well cared-for, receiving one-on-one discipleship and growing in the vision of the church — to win their family and friends for Christ and disciple them. Please pray for the church now, that we would not lose a single new convert during this critical time. Thank God for His awesome move of healing, salvation and grace that only seems to grow every day here in the Amazon! Now follow along each night through these pictures and be inspired and blessed by all that God is doing.

Congresso 2010: Sunday Night

Friday, July 4 | Santarém Brazil | Photos: Micah Gregory

One of the things we always pray for during Congresso time is that there would be good weather. That way people are encouraged to come. Also, our huge sets sit outside the whole week before the Congresso, so rain and storms can easily damage them. Sunday night, just a few minutes after the Congresso began, the skies opened up and started to pour down rain. In spite of the rain, praise and worship continued on with even more determination and focus! It was as if God’s grace poured down from above and everyone was soaked in the presence of God. After the rain stopped, it was much cooler and the whole support team had time to touch-up the set before it went out. And the stadium was still jam packed.

: Sunday kicked off with a ground-soaking storm!

: God’s presence could be felt as his grace showered down from above.

: Davy Maia once again led the huge crowd in worship.

: After the storm, it was as if heaven had opened up directly above the event.

: The support team prepares for what would be the biggest night yet.

: The year was another first: the whole Congresso was televised live, with thousands upon thousands watching across the area.

: Pastor George continues to intercede for a rich response to the Gospel message.

: And once again, many come forward.

: Sunday sees the greatest response, with nearly 700 people giving their lives to the Lord.

: Pastor Abe and Pastor Geraldo look on with joy at the great harvest.

: Backstage, the drama team poses before their big finale.

: The support team waits in expectation to mount the huge set.

: We are transported back to ancient Egypt.

: This breath really can kill.

: Pharaoh has a dream that no one, not even he, understands.

: But God reveals to Joseph the meaning behind Pharaoh’s dream.

: And Joseph is honored above all others in the land as God is recognized as the One, True God.

: Sunday’s calling card — the street dance — impresses everyone.

: In one word: huge.

: And a hugely successful Congresso comes to a close.
