Dominican Republic 2017

I have left this newsletter untouched as I still feel like it displays growth in newsletter writing. We are still growing and trying to make such an impactful trip fit into 3 pages or less is very difficult.

Thank you so much for supporting me with my mission’s trip to Dominican Republic!! Whether that was through funds or prayer, it all was incredibly important!!

This was such a different trip than Romania 2016. I think a lot of it was due to the people I was with, the conference, and the church beliefs. My team from DSSM (Dayspring School of Supernatural Ministry) and I went to D.R. to assist with the Power and Love conference hosted by Tom Routolo, Robby Dawkins, and Todd White. I didn’t know what to expect so I didn’t really bother with thinking much about it. I knew that this would be a great conference because Robby and Todd both walk in the Gifts of the Spirit which I find to be extremely important in my life. I believe to live as a Christian the Gifts must become a new found normality.

This was mine and Alyssa’s view of Santo Domingo, DR. This is my Bible turned to Isaiah 61 <3

Our goal? To equip the Dominicans with the gifts, as DSSM already walks in this. The conference had over 1,000 people with a team of 60-70 Americans, and then our team of 9. Our team leaders Josh and Carla, whom have lived there for a year or two beforehand; told us that we cannot drink the water, brush our teeth in it, or eat ANY of the food offered by a street vender or we will get incredibly sick. We flew in on Tuesday afternoon, it seemed that most of the plane was either to assist with Power and Love, or on a Life Touch missions trip to build a school (along with 3 priests!) I’d say our plane was incredibly safe! Haha. Our hotel was phenomenal but it had to be because it was one of the few (possibly two) hotels that we could eat at since they wash everything with a food safe chlorine to kill all of the parasites from the water. We relaxed that night and had a nice dinner. We had a team meeting Wednesday morning and was told that most Americans, due to the extreme climate change, will pass out on a missions trip to the DR if not given a day of rest beforehand to get used to the weather (which was 70-90 degrees in the middle of January!). In Villa (pronounced Vesia) the same weekend as the conference was a world wide Pagan festival. This festival normally happens in the summer but it was rained out the previous time and was coincidentally scheduled the same time as the conference. The catholic church was predominant here, so the question wasn’t “Do you know Jesus?” because they all knew of Him, the question was “are you in a relationship with Jesus?”. Same as in Romania, the Catholic church and witchcraft was somehow tide together here.

On our way to see Villa!

The church we attended was hungry for God but still had some religious rules in place. We couldn’t wear shorts to the night sessions, which was rather impractical if you’re going on outreaches all day. There also was no dancing for worship, more about this later. ;) Wednesday night was the first night of the Conference. I accidentally forgot my streamers at home (my streamers are specifically made to break religion with His Love). Though I feel like this was a God thing as the people needed to get their feet wet first. The conference was amazing. There were so many good words that I felt like I needed, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. It was all equipping us for miracles. And how that’s what God intended for us.

The rest of the Conference days had the same schedule: Get ready, eat breakfast, and on the bus by 7am, conference meeting, outing, lunch, meeting, outing, meeting, and back to the hotel at midnight.

From a close up view you can see the little boy is smiling so wide! This was more towards the city.

Thursday came, the worship there was so amazing—most was in Spanish but you really don’t have to know the language to feel His Spirit. We were all split up in small groups with a translator. My group was me, George (DSSM 2nd Year leader), our translator, Abel (A-bell), and his wife Marlene. Marlene could speak English but not enough to be a thorough translator. We ended up not having Dominicans in our team, which wasn’t our goal, but God was doing something in us whether I understand it or not. We went out and prayed for a man that had to pee in a bag and couldn’t move much. His pain went down 100%. We prayed for his sister, to which George had a Word of Knowledge that she had relationship problems with her husband—her husband died 7months previously so we prayed for her peace. We then ended up praying for a little girl, Michelle, her mother, and another man in the family (this is all the same household). I got a Word that he felt like a failure to which was true. I told him that God doesn’t view him as a failure—he then came into a relationship with Jesus! We went further down the street and started talking to two friends, a guy and a girl. I got a word for her about how much Jesus loves her. She was a Christian for 3 years and then backslid because of the people she was around. I started telling her of His love for her, how she was carved to display His beauty and love. I told her that God’s going to give her the love her dad never did and she nearly cried. I told her that God has been chasing after her and now He’s saying “Here I am!” She then got saved, along with her friend. We continued to walk down the street and was invited into someone’s home. He had a beautiful family and house. He had pain in the back of his knee, we prayed twice and it was healed. We prayed a blessing over his daughter and her friend. I know for sure his daughter got saved but unsure if the other two did. We walked further, we prayed over a man in a wheelchair with his foot going bad due to diabetes, praying for healing (which people had prayed for him ahead of us). We got to talk to a woman who’s hip was out or something and a man who couldn’t breath well. George felt like she was previously involved with witchcraft but she denied that. We prayed for their healing and they got healed and saved! We then went back and had lunch, along with the meeting, Most of our meals consisted of chicken and rice. We got to try this local fruit which has a lot of names but one of the names was a Jamaican apple—didn’t look anything like an apple. It looked like a red pear. The taste was subtle; a hint of grape, a hint of pear, a hint of apple, and a texture like angel food cake because it was so light, and yet the juices made your mouth have a grip and stick to each other. It was very interesting.

Here’s a photo of the Jamaican Apple, along with photos of the village we visited that day.

The next outing that we did was that afternoon. We talked to a guy sitting by his motorcycle and we were praying for him to feel the Presence of God—to which he felt. But he also felt that he really needed to clean his life up first before he met Jesus and no matter what we said his mind couldn’t be changed. We then asked another man if he needed prayer for something, to which he said he has a nervous disability and can’t stop shaking. This disability prevented him from joining the military or the police force and left him jobless. I prayed for God to put His Presence in His hands and He did! The man could feel the tingling of God’s Presence in his hands and was completely healed (his name is Roberto). We then asked if there was something he can try now that he couldn’t do before, he responded that he couldn’t thread a needle and his aunt sews and she lives right around the corner. So we went to her house and we watched him thread a needle. His aunt wanted him to thread it again in front of her so she could see it. It was so awesome! His aunt had back problems and the ligaments in her ankle wouldn’t regrow so we asked if we could pray for her too. She said yes. I asked if she would dance with me when she got healed and she said yes. We prayed a few times, with her getting better little by little, and then we had her nephew, Roberto, whom we just prayed for, to pray for her. We coached him in how to pray for her healing and she started getting healed even quicker! The whole family started to pray for her and she was healed! This was amazing to see! She didn’t end up dancing with me, I think she was a little too shy to do it. Roberto then took us to pray over his mother who was deaf. Our translator decided to turn up the risk (something we have been learning in our sessions, if you don’t think it’ll work, you ask people to show up and tell them they will see a miracle—God will show up!) Hardly anybody came to see her be healed though and we only had 15 minutes to do this before our bus came. George walked up and prayed for her to be healed because he knew we didn’t have time. I declared the spirit of deafness to leave her and to my surprise she started to manifest! So we cast out the spirit of deafness and had her son pray for her hearing. She started hearing a buzzing (due to lack of translation I didn’t actually find this out until my translator was giving a testimony about it at the conference) and she started being able to hear! She wasn’t 100% but we really had to go. I wanted to spend another two hours with this woman so bad. Just to make sure her healing was 100% and that she accepted Jesus and the Holy Spirit into her heart. That night at the conference I brought my streamers and was led to fly my streamers outside where no one could see me for one song before continuing with worship with everyone else. Sandy (One of our DSSM 2nd year leaders that was with us) got prayed over by Todd White and healed of fibromyalgia that she had for 20years. God is so good! We ended up eating very different pizza on the way home (they put corn on their supreme pizza). The lobby had a live band and a couple dancing. Except they were not a couple… She was indeed a prostitute dancing with an older man. Our hearts went to bed heavy that night.

We then went back and had lunch, along with the meeting, Most of our meals consisted of chicken and rice. We got to try this local fruit which has a lot of names but one of the names was a jamican apple—didn’t look anything like an apple. It looked like a red pear. The taste was subtle; a hint of grape, a hint of pear, a hint of apple, and a texture like angel food cake because it was so light, and yet the juices made your mouth have a grip and stick to each other. It was very interesting.

Walking through the village on the left. The right is when we were done praying for the woman that was deaf. When we were getting ready to leave a group of people showed up.

Friday we woke up extremely tired. I say we, in case I didn’t explain earlier that Alyssa and I shared the same room (a good friend from DSSM). By the time we got to church the music was already playing in worship and it was so good—I even started singing in Spanish! Todd White preached that morning with a great service and then out to the streets we went! We first started ministering to a group around a bunch of motorcycles. God healed a woman that was having knee issues. We then prayed for a man’s liver and I asked God to give him a new liver, I felt it come into my hands and then gave it to him as a prophetic act. This man then led us to a woman that needed healing. She had a lot of problems with walking, her knees hurt her, her hip was out of wack, etc. We prayed for her knees first and they were healed! She walked better but still needed more. We prayed for her knees to be 100% healed. They no longer hurt her but she still limped. I sat her down and measured her feet to see if one leg was shorter than the other and her left was shorter. I prayed “Dad, I thank you for this daughter.” And it grew! But George and Abel didn’t think so, so I prayed again those words and both legs grew, I prayed those words again and the left leg grew to be even and we all agreed that time. She walked a lot better and was 100% pain free but she still limped. We prayed for her hip because it looked like it wouldn’t rotate. She was able to walk completely! She ran back and forth through her house praising God! It was so awesome. When we walked to the bus it wasn’t there yet and Able looked like a fat kid getting cake. We turned around and went into a convenience store/bar and started praying with everyone. With one of the workers I got a word that he lives with a little girl, turns out it was his niece, and started speaking into his life. We then came back to the church to eat lunch. I was then approached by a woman named Jacky on the American team (though she’s from Cape Town, Africa) came up to me and prophesied over me something she has been really feeling in her spirit since the previous day.

The first photo is Todd White and his translator Marcus Tripplet. Along with photos of the village. The right photo is Abel and Marlene leaving the house with the woman that had all of the walking issues and got healed!

After the meeting we went to a small, poor village—it was gorgeous. The village when down into a valley and back up, it was just beautiful. We immediately was drawn to a man and come to find out he was a pastor for a church in the village. We prayed for a refreshing over him and his wife and a greater strength into their relationship. There was also another woman there that I guess they were trying to help out and we prayed over her also. I think we really encouraged that pastor. I wanted to invite him to the conference but Abel said that he couldn’t because he has church (I guess they have church on Friday nights also?). We went down the valley and saw this lady in this really run down shack off to the side at the lowest point of the valley. There were a lot of homes that as an American were really run down, but I believe that this house was run down even according to a Dominican probably. We prayed for her healing in her kidneys and stomach. We found out that she didn’t have any food and she didn’t eat for a few days so we gave her some money before we left. That night at the conference I was led to start flying my streamers in the back for a few songs with Alyssa, some children wanted to fly them so we let them as we went to eat with the other American Team. This is when Alyssa and I met a guy named LionHeart. He is very gifted in Words of Knowledge and the Prophetic. He is so hungry for God. He started prophesying/giving Words of Knowledge that were so pinpointed and accurate, over various things that include and are not limited to Europe and prophetic art. After the message with a powerful alter call, LionHeart ended up prophesying over me again about the prophetic and other gifts flowing through me more and more. I believe I went up there to the alter for more of His Presence. I want more. I am not satisfied with what I have but I want more and more of Him. I was praying for His Spirit to come down on me and change me. I was on that alter not because I felt His Spirit but because I craved it. The worship leaders were singing a song saying “Enspiritu Santo ven!” To which I started singing (come to find out it’s just saying “Holy Spirit come!”—still is one of my favorite worship songs). God had previously told me that every country I step in for missions I will have the language downloaded. I had experienced a supernatural quickening to Spanish at this time and so had Alyssa (called to translate) but nobody else seemed to grasp the language like this. I told God I wasn’t moving—even if I had to pee my pants (I had to go before I came to the alter) until He downloaded the language to me. Immediately our team leader came and got me and told me we had to leave. (God has since spoken to me about this, and I’m cool with not having Spanish downloaded now.)

Saturday morning we had marvelous worship, the more worship that we have had at this conference the more “lose” the worship is, if that makes any sense. It’s less uptight. I was on my face in the front at one point in worship of Him when I started to smell a strong frankincense smell during worship. I was in awe that I could smell in the spirit realm of worship while worshipping Him. (I asked if anyone had that and nobody had that oil. There was no way for me to smell it like it was right under my nose.) We went to a pretty popular city/village and was able to pray with a family in the streets. God ministered to them of His love through us and they got saved—there was the husband, wife, and I believe two kids with them. We then went on up the street to this one gorgeous house. Abel saw some children at this house and asked to see their parents. The son (about 5-7years old) then said “I hate you! Shut up!” to us in Spanish of course. His older sister came (about 10-13years old) to which you could see in both children’s eyes a wrong spirit. Alyssa and I both sensed this but didn’t exactly know what to do about it besides binding it. We then were able to minister to the children’s mom and sister whom were both super sweet. The father recently died but her house was the most gorgeous house we have seen yet. We ended up praying for her legs to be the same length and one grew out to do just that! She and her sister got saved and then invited us to stay with her every time we came back to Dominican. We left and went to another person’s house which we ministered to and prayed for healing for three different people. Two of which got healed. Someone ended up walking in with a severely handicapped young man in that couldn’t speak and was bound to a wheel chair. Abel and George prayed over him and lifted him out of his wheelchair. I believe he needed to be healed through prayer and fasting. We went back, had lunch, had a message from Robby Dawkins, and then went back to the streets.

We ended up going to a village and visiting with these two girls, I feel like they were 15-17 years old and they had three children with them, I believe they were their siblings. We started ministering into their lives about how much God loves them and had a wonderful talk with them. The Dominicans are so gorgeous, I don’t understand how there’s not more models from the Dominican Republic. I was unable to write this day down, and so I have forgotten a lot about what this day really holds. I remember spending most of the time with these girls. We then got to pray over a guy that had a cast on his leg because he was in a motorcycle accident. His pain went down 100% and he would lightly put weight on his foot but he was too scared to fully check it out. All evidences say that he was totally healed! We ended up talking to a family in their front yards, they provided chairs for us which I put down and immediately where I put mine and Alyssa’s chairs I saw that there was a grave (that we were sitting on). I had an eerie feeling about this grave. There was no body language that this was a problem as I was studying the family to see if there was—there were not bothered. But I quietly told Alyssa to look behind us and she immediately started talking “to me” in tongues to make it look like a conversation we were having as Abel, Marlene, and George were talking to the family. She later told me that she saw a demon on the grave which then jumped on her and she cast it away. We let George and Abel led the conversation with the family as Alyssa and I mainly just dealt with the spirits in that front yard. When the bus showed up nearly right in front of the house a black car pulled up in front of us, two young men stepped out of the car and looked at Alyssa and I. Alyssa, George, and I all felt an evil, lustful presence emanating from them. But I believe those spirits quickly knew that they couldn’t deal with us and our angels so they left almost immediately after they got out. We went back for the evening service and the worship was amazing. Most of the American team was dancing, jumping, and at times on their faces in worship. There were Dominicans that were also participating with the Americans but only on the American side. The Dominican side looked pretty empty so I had Alyssa and I fly my streamers, I then had Todd Whites mentee dance and fly flags with us along with another Dominican lady that danced so beautifully. We had our teaching and then was able to go through a fire tunnel!! For those of you that don’t know, a fire tunnel is an impartation of His Spirit onto the people. Two rows of people are formed (in this case, the Americans, since they operate in the Gifts of the Spirit and came here to minister to them.) And then let the rest of the congregation go through between them as they pray for a greater anointing Presence of His Spirit on the people and anything they feel is on their heart for the people before them. Alyssa and I were the first people that got to pray for anybody that came through the line. In most fire tunnels that I have been in or involved with the Spirit of God comes down so heavily that people either fall out or drunkenly walk out intoxicated by His Spirit. We were so impressed at the usher team in that place. There were several people that fell out with just Alyssa and I praying over them and the usher team got them out of the way within a minute. For the most part we prayed all in Spanish saying “mucho mas fruego Enspiritu Santo!” and variations of the like which means “much more fire Holy Spirit!”. It’s an amazing feeling to pray for over 1,000 people in THEIR native tongue instead of your own, by the quickening of the Holy Spirit and when you really can’t say that you know the language. There were a few Dominicans that had “double” and “triple dips” into this fire tunnel. They were so hungry for God. We were then able to go through the tunnel. I almost fell out but wanted more so I refused to fall and kept drunkenly walking. By the time I got out I turned around and started praying for the rest of the American team as they went through and started praying shoulder to shoulder with Todd White and Robby Dawkins! (Meanwhile, bumping shoulders, praying for an impartation of their anointing and gifts also! ;) ). When we went home that night this whole time Alyssa has been having issues with her back, she asked me to check to see if her legs were uneven and they were by nearly an inch! I then prayed over them and watched God grow out her leg before my eyes!

Sunday morning was filled with testimonies and a thanking from the pastor of this church. He was so kind hearted and blessed to see what has happened in his community and sheep. The message was from Todd White—a heartbreaking message about living for Him and not just knowing of Him. He told about when he got saved he didn’t change his life, he still drank and did drugs. His best friend was not a believer but he believed in him. After months of this Todd White had a life and death encounter with God convicting him of quitting drugs so he went to rehab at teen challenge to know more about God. After three days his best friend had a brain aneurysm and was in a coma. He stayed there for three more days and each night had a powerful encounter with God. God then told him to go home and he did and immediately went to see his best friend in the hospital. He prayed over him and he didn’t wake up. He later died in that coma and as far as we know didn’t accept Jesus as his Lord because he didn’t see a difference in Todd White’s life. This was a hard message to take and the whole place had tears in their eyes. He gave an alter call of stopping anything that was keeping them from acting like Jesus. We were able to pray with the people and I ended up holding a woman in her arms who cried on my shoulder with saying “Dios te amio mucho mucho mucho” which is all the Spanish I could find. Just saying that God loves you much much much.” It was so precious to get to pray the little Spanish I knew into her life as she cried in my arms. This was definitely one of the most touching moments in my life. It confirmed that that is what I’m called to do. To pray and hold and cry with the lost and heartbroken and say in THEIR language how much God loves them. This was so touching in every possible way. It registered with every cell in my body.

Ya Christo Viene means Christ is coming. He is. He’s coming through us. We’ve been on your streets Dominican. And we put Christ on display. Another word for Christ is anointing. Anointing is coming. ANOINTING REACHED YOU THIS WEEKEND DOMINICAN!! You have been anointed, you carry the anointing, and you have been equipped to anoint. It’s been a pleasure to display Christ/Anointing with you. I hope to see you soon.

The rest of the day was rest along with the next day was spent on the beach. We ended up having someone that stayed with us all day as we got braids in our hair and massages and such. We ministered into her life also and how much she is loved by God. I believe she got saved right there. That’s what it’s all about. A relationship. We should never go out preaching, but showing how much God loves them—whether that is through His miracles or creating a relationship with them. I firmly believe preaching on a box downtown about hell is not going to bring people into His Kingdom. It wouldn’t have brought me into His Kingdom. It is through love and an undeniable display of His power, through miracles, healings, or words of knowledge/wisdom and prophesy that people are changed. This was a grand trip and so different. I will be talking to the pastors in Romania about having a Power and Love Conference there.

Thank you so much for supporting me through prayer, finances, or any other kind of way. I am so extremely grateful that you got to take part in this wonderful journey with me and get the rewards of the changed lives in Dominican Republic. I firmly believe that DR is forever changed and so will be the surrounding countries by the teaching they got there. I would love to go back sometime and see how much it has all changed.

I will be going to Romania June 8-30 and Israel July 1-29. If you would like to participate you can freely do so by contacting me or visiting The Nations Call where I will be posting updates on my trips periodically along with asking for specific needs per country and per situation. You can also donate there by pressing the “shop now” button which will take you to a Paypal link for donating to both of these trips. If you have any words about these trips or insight that God has given you then please post them to that page, unless you’re not on Facebook then contact me directly. Feel free to order prophetic paintings or ceramics, along with praying/fasting over my trip. I am planning on setting up a 3 day fast for Summer Solstice in Romania which is on June 20 (exact dates to be announced). Summer Solstice is the one day a year Romanian witches can make love potions and “see the future”. I plan on being indirect with the witches but letting God be very direct. I am so excited for these opportunities. Thank you for everything you do! Be blessed!
