I am settled in at Marcello and Cristiane’s house in Bangu. They have really taken time to prepare their humble lodgings for me. They took time to buy many of the things I like; like any loving child would. I am truly touched by their generosity.When you are far from the comforts of home, acts of love are really appreciated.
Had a business meeting with Ap Marcio, Ps Nilo and Ana Paula. Reinforced many foundational apostolic doctrines. I was impressed with many changes in the Church; the auditorium has been extended. Airconditioning has been installed. New drum set has been acquired and the platform area has been extended. Our congratulations to Ap Marci and Ps Nilo for the improvements.
I was at the local Church on Friday night for a meeting; many leaders from outside the Church attended. Our efforts at uniting the Churches are beginning to produce the desired results.
My friend of many years, Ps Pedro Filho of Chapero was there as well. I anointed him about 6 years ago.
A great time of prophetic impartation.

On Tuesday night we drove 100km to the town of Itapetinga and we had a great time of impartation with Ps Marco of the Nova Jerusalem Church and various other leaders from that city. The attendance was so great that screens had to be placed on the street for people to gather outside the Church. Thank Prophet Santos for this connection that would ultimately open the doors to Argentina. Some Argentinians were there as well. Drove back to Vitoria at about 1.00 in the morning. Woke early again to address city leaders in Vitoria da Conquista.
From there rushed to a small airport and travelled on a small plane in seriously bad weather back to Salvador. Thank God for a safe trip.
I had time to change planes quickly to Rio de Janeiro. Arrived back in the city at around 10pm.
I travel to my “home” town of Bangu later this afternoon where I will be staying at Marcello and Cristiane’s home. They have been faithful sons of CCF for a long time.
I will prepare for business meeting with the CCF leadership tomorrow afternoon and then minister to the local congregation later that night.

Ps Nilo, Ps Sella, Ap Eduardo and I stayed at the pastor’s home last night.
I am thankful to Prophet Santos for facilitating these meetings…he is a real gift from God. I am also appreciative of Irene Pillay’s help in communicating constantly with these leaders to make this trip possible.
My God bless you all.
Tuesday morning will see us make the 90km trip to Itapetinga where we will meet with the city leaders. Talk to you soon.

This was truly a night to remember. I shared my thoughts on Spiritual Intelligence. After the word, I invited Ap Marcio and Prophet Santos to prophesy. There was a pandemonium as the Spirit of the Lord literally fell on every individual. This move lasted over 45 minutes as believers were unable to stand still. There was a tangible spirit of liberation in the house as believers began to express themselves with unbridled joy.
Truly a memorable evening.
The praise and worship was of the highest international standard…the worship leader is a man who is totally blind. What a testimony!

The Conference began last night. This was the Church’s first exposure to the present day apostolic message and it was well received. We set down some foundational principles and we will build from these positions over the next few days.
These folk really know how to praise. They are very expressive in all that they do. The musicians are highly skilled and sensitive to the spiritual flow.
This day, Saturday is a special day for us here. It is Ps Nilo’s birthday. I took Ps Nilo together with Ap Marcio and all the other apostles to breakfast.
We shared our many experiences over the past 19 years. We wish him
well during the years ahead. The telephone lines to Salvador are not all that good at the moment. To all those who are trying to communicate with us, please be patient.
Love and regards from the whole ministry team.

PS PAULO AND GRACA FONSECA – PASTORS AT GUANDU

I have arrived in Rio de Janeiro where I have been well received by my sons Marcio Bernadino and Rogerio Barros. It has been raining heavily here in the past week causing major flooding and massive mud slides. As at last night 113 people were dead with many others missing. Please pray for those who are most vulnerable to these natural disasters….the poor.
I will be ministering this evening with my long standing friends Ps Paulo and Graca Fonseca at Ministerio Biblica da Graca in Guandu which is about 60km outside of the city.I am looking forward to being with the saints in Guandu.
Early tomorrow I fly to Salvador in Bahia, about 2hours from Rio for the Conference there. This is a new association that the Lord has allowed…I am trusting God for a great impartation of a spirit filled Word to the saints in Bahia. I that the Lord for Ps Santos and Ps Eduardo who have been used by Him to facilitate these meetings.
I hope to be available to all of you on my cellphone sometime later today. I will inform you as soon as I am connected.
Love and regards to all.
