Women's Prayer Retreat

Our women's ministry hosted the second prayer retreat of the year.  The first one (for the women at our hotel campus) was in March.  The second (for the women at our Miralvalle campus) was last Saturday.  

About 35 women traveled about an hour and a half outside of the city to spend time "listening" to God's voice.  We left the church at 6:00 a.m. and stopped for breakfast at a restaurant named Kaltepet on the way there.  

Once there we had a short time of praise and worship and a testimony, followed by the "prayer retreat" rules:  

• Stay silent--not the time to talk or pray with anyone else--just you and the Father
• Concentrate on listening for His voice
• Morning prayer time is from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

We enjoyed a great lunch with time to share our experiences, before repeating the same schedule in the afternoon.  We ended the day with group prayer and a short testimony time.  We were loaded up and ready to leave at 4:30 p.m. and arrived at the church at 6:00 p.m.

Casa del Juicio--Saturday and Sunday

I ran out of time to do a post yesterday, so I thought I'd just wait and do one post for the weekend.  

On Saturday and Sunday we started at 4:00 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m. which allowed more people to go through.  Saturday 676 people came through; Sunday was the largest of the week with 769 people.

Misha (a girl from Alabama who is here to teach English at New Life) worked with me all week.  She wanted to see the presentation so we went through last night.  The story this year is based on the life of a family in the church.  Their daughter, Cindi, died of leukemia when she was 17; so, even though I knew the story, it was still very impactful.  The actors did an amazing job.  

There were 92 professions of faith on Saturday and 96 on Sunday.  The totals for the week were:  

                   Attendance:               2,649
                   Professions of faith:      290
                   Rededications:              134

All of the sets are being torn down today because New Life Christian School classes will be in session tomorrow.  On Wednesday everything will be taken to our Lourdes campus to be set up on Thursday and Friday.  The final two days for Judgment House 2016 are Saturday and Sunday, February 13 and 14.

Thanks for praying along with us for this evangelistic emphasis.  Please keep praying as the follow-up starts in earnest this week.
