Dear Family & Friends,
Blessings & grace to you and yours in Jesus our Lord! Change…Change…Change; things are changing. Getting out of the comfort zone and reaching out to the lost. As we go to the streets on the weekends, the Word of Hope is drawing people who other-wise would never darken the doors of a church. It is amazing the hearts that are so ready & hungry for Truth, God’s Truth: Jesus Christ! In Chile, a so-called Christian country, the void of God is everywhere. Please keep these outreaches in your prayers.
In March, we celebrated a new school year with a JESUS EXPLOSION Conference in Ovalle. Pastor Timothy Osborn ministered powerfully during that week, and we are still receiving testimonies of healings & lives changed during those meetings. Approximately 50 people surrendered their lives to Jesus as their Lord, and the most are becoming established in the Word as they become part of the Body of Christ in Ovalle. Here are only a few recorded testimonies:
Ø Scarlett, 4 yrs. old, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibroses & her family was told she was dying. Her grieving grandmother was invited one night to one of the services and as her last ray of hope, she came and heard that God still answers prayer and heals. There, she prayed and surrendered her life to Jesus as she cried out for healing for her 4 yr old grandbaby. Since then, the doctors have not been able to explain what has happened to Scarlett, but her once frail body no longer shows signs of the dreaded disease.
Ø Valentina, 10 yrs old, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer of the uterus and was hospitalized in Santiago, receiving chemotherapy. Her grandfather was invited to the meetings for healing, since he had recently had a heart attack. He brought a picture of Valentina and another family member brought clothing. They were anointed and prayer was sent forth; when the clothing arrived in Santiago, it was place on her. The Lord began to work miraculously, and her health made a total turn about. She was released from the hospital to return home to Ovalle. She and her whole family, including grandparents, aunts & uncles are now serving the Lord out of gratitude of heart.
Ø Bro Luis suffered much pain in his kidneys and when he received a prayer of blessing, the Lord touched and healed him completely. He also received a prophetic word that the Lord was breaking the curse of poverty off his life, which is something which with he has consistently struggled due to poorly paid jobs. Shortly after, he found a new job that provided sufficient enough for all of their needs.
We do ask you to remember to pray with us concerning the console at the Radio Fuego station. It is about 10 yrs old and has had to be repaired over and over. Now it is running 24/7 and is limping along on only half the power. It is urgent that we replace this important piece of equipment. The cost is around $1,500.
Thank you for your love and your support, for your value to us is beyond words. As we continue to go forward at the rehab and supply other urgent needs, every seed of faith that you sow into this work is falling on good ground. Again thank you & blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord!
Together in His vineyard for His honor & glory,
Sid & Kathy Luke
