Flames of Fire Ministry

March 2011 Newsletter.

Dear Partners,

 

Greetings in the Name of Jesus. Do you remember as a child drawing pictures where you had to connect the dots? When you first start out, you wonder what could this picture be!  The more you connect the dots the more you can begin to see just what that picture might be....... 

It is the same way when you serve the Lord. In the beginning when you just start connecting the dots it does not look like much, but the more you connect the more you begin to see what the the Lord is doing through you.  In Eph. 4 :16 it says "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." 

We are so blessed that you are connected with us. Each month we are able to see God's plan unfold before us. Thank you so much for being connected to God and to us! 

Connected through prayer
, connected through your offerings, and connected in the Spirit!  Together, we are making a difference in the lives of so many. 

 

Lighting the Fire,

Larry Johnson

Pastor Conference in Chimaltenango! 

 

past.conf

National Pastor's Conference in Chimaltenango for the Mision Union Churches was a tremendous opportunity to reach out and minister to the ministers!  This small mission organization has 17 churches and almost half were built by the 100 Club and Generations Church. We had the privilege to minister to those special men and women about being radically connected to God to see signs and wonders!

The month of March brought with it the building and opening of our 7th feeding center.  Thanks to all of the wonderful friends and partners in Gainesville Church of God the Chorti village of Guareruche has a new beacon of hope for the village.  With 50 little mouths to feed we still need a few more sponsors.  So, if the Lord speaks to your heart to help us reach out to this Chorti village please know that you are changing a life, giving them hope, and sowing the word into the next generation of Guareruche.  It costs about $15-20 per month per child.  You can use this convenient link to make your tax deductible gift.

We give our heartfelt thanks to the very special church of Gainesville.....they paid for all of the kitchen construction and outfitted the entire thing!  As they have done with numerous other feeding centers!  Now remains the task of monthly sponsors.  Pastor Rosael from Guareruche and his wife are so very excited to have this ministry opportunity and have already reported about 20 people that have come to the church asking how to be saved strictly based on the construction of the feeding center. 

 

They said that they could have never believed such a tremendous thing could be in their village, and that surely the God of the Christians must be the true God!   

 

What a fabulous testimony!  I know that Pastor Rosael will use the feeding center to reach souls, that is why we want to partner with him in this outreach.   

 

Serving people, winning the world!  

Church Dedications in Honduras--God is in the remotest village!
 

We went to Honduras to dedicate four churches-to consecrate them, and set them apart to be a place of His Presence.  We went so far up into the mountains of Honduras that we weren't sure if we would make it back down when it began to rain on the already impassible roads.  But let us tell you that God poured out His presence on His people with signs and wonders.

 

What an awesome time we had traveling to Honduras to dedicate 4 of the churches that were built last year. 

 

Choloma Church-First up!

On Saturday morning we started out by going to Ministerio Salem in the village of Cholma.  God poured out his Spirit upon them ministering to their spiritual and physical needs. They were so hungry for the word of God, and together we dedicated the building to the Lord. They are a precious congregation. 

 

Linderos Church Followed

Then we went on up the mountain between 4000-5000 feet elevation to do the next church dedication in the village of Linderos.  They are already utilizing the church as a central meeting place for so many pastors and leaders in training.  We got there a little early and were having a class on Church planting for pastors and leaders of other churches in their area. What an unexpected blessing!  As they finishing up their class they asked us if we would come and minister to them. Laying hands on them and praying for them. What a powerful time in the Lord. It is awesome to see how God directs our paths.   He put us in the midst of a group of 40 to 50 pastors and leaders who are eager to learn about planting churches in rural remote locations.  The Holy Spirit ministered to many of them individually and several confirmed their call to the ministry!  Many stay afterward to be in the dedication service. Praise the Lord there was another power packed dedication service with God moving and pouring out His spirit upon all the church. 

 

Sunday We were Off to Monte de Oro Church

On Sunday we started at the village of Monte de Oro what fun that was the last mile or so was red clay mud, our truck slipped and slid side to side as we went up and down the narrow road with coffee plants sloping down each side with drop offs at times of 100's of feet. It probably took 20 minutes to go that mile or 2.   But it was all worth while to get there and see God pour out His blessing upon the church.  There was such a move of God in that place that we weren't sure if there was even going to be a message.  Before the message the gifts of the Spirit began to move.  It was a very special service.  Monte de Oro means Mount of Gold...it is truly as special as gold.  The people sought God with fervency and fire, and He showed up!

 

Last but not least Cruz de Pacaya Church!

We then made our way to the better roads and off we were to the last church in Cruz de Pacaya. It is a very young church and it was birthed out of the Monte de Oro church.  The dedication service was powerful touching so many lives there as well. At all the churches the people were so greatful and they feed us wonderfully giving their best to bless us.  What an awesome weekend it was so many lives changed forever even ours.

Brand New Projector to Win Souls!

 

We want to give a special thanks to Oliver Evangelistic Association, Dr. Oliver joined hands with Kevin Stoltenburg & generously donated a projector, laptop filled with evangelistic films and teachings so that we can be better equipped to evangelize the villages!  We have begun!  We started in the village of Ingeniero and it was so fabulous to see the Lord move and save souls.  We showed the film Mirad Cuanto Amor and at least 7 people accepted Christ!  There were many more watching from the surrounding hills and we believe the word does not come back void! Thanks Dr. Oliver, Brother Kevin!  Here are a few pics!

Dr. Oliver also donated a big sound system to Brother Jeremiah--he is the church construction leader, but he has built so many churches and has seen so much need in the villages that he has begun holding crusades in the villages where we've built churches! 

In the last few months he has won over 200 people to the Lord,

now we are linking up with him to use the projector and sound system!!
