Carlsbad, NM 2019
In December we had the privilege of having Richard Valerio come down and do a revival for us. It was a very timely revival that has helped launch our church in a powerful direction heading into 2020. We saw numbers of visitors come out throughout the revival and hit our highest attendance of the year on the final night with 59 people. His preaching stirred and challenged our congregation to fulfill the will of God for their lives. We have had a move of God through our youth and this revival helped stirred them to see that God can use their life for more. After the first day of revival, our teens began passing out flyers and inviting other teens to service at the high school. What really stirred them was a miracle healing of a girls leg that grew out and was caught on camera, this video went viral in our church and the community. We have since, seen our youth make radicle decisions for Jesus in cutting out bad relationships, making righteous stands at school and at work, but most of all they reaching out to other young people in evangelizing and rising up in discipleship. Richard also prayed for many miracles that have made an impact in our church: one young man prayed for financial blessing – the very next morning he received a check for $300 from a job that he hadn’t worked for in over 2 months. A young boy had bronchitis and after prayer – the next morning he was completely healed; A woman who had back pain for over 22 years leg grew out and immediately healed (She has since locked into the church). He has a sensitivity to God and able to bring just what our people and the church needed. I look forward to having him again.
