Uruguay - Pastors' Conference

Posted January 24, 2008

---

Thank you for praying for us while we were in Uruguay. We were deeply touched by the warmth and love of the Uruguayan pastors. There were so many pastors who were hungry for the WORD and the Lord met them. We are grateful for your prayers.

Field Report: Day 1

We just finished the first session. The hearts of the pastors, ministers, and leaders were so open, allowing Brother Dave to preach with liberty. There were many tears of sorrow and repentance, followed by joyful smiles. There was a tremendous breakthrough, like a dark cloud lifting. We're excited to see what God has in store, as we have six more sessions over the next two days. Please continue to be in prayer for us and the leaders of Uruguay.
Field Report: Day 2

Today was another phenomenal day. Once again I have no words to describe the awesome presence of the Lord. Pastors, leaders, and their spouses were deeply moved by what God was speaking through his servants David and Gary Wilkerson. The preaching hit its mark, and many were set free with the truth of God's word. The day concluded with an outbreak of joy in the evening session.

Testimonies from Pastors and Leaders

"I am the president of the Commission of Pastors Association. We have needed unity among denominations and this has given us the opportunity to unite with many so many denominations all over the country."

"Pastor Wilkerson and his son Gary have been a tremendous blessing to our lives, the Holy Spirit is moving with liberty, and he is speaking to the hearts of the pastors. The word of the Lord is working in our hearts, and the life and the testimony of Pastor David Wilkerson speak with much power. So, I believe this conference is a tremendous impact to the national evangelical leadership in our country. We are going to see the results in the next month and years because the hearts of the leaders are being healed, renewed and inspired. We believe this conference came at the right time for our country."

"For my life this conference marked a before and an after, now I understand more clearly God's will for my life and ministry. Now I wait for new things from the Lord. Thank you for your simple way to communicate the Word and for your love to our land.
"What touched me the most, was delivering pardon. Today I can say that I am free because Jesus set me free, and I am happy."
Anabel Dos Santos de García
Durazno City, Uruguay

"To me this conference meant freedom. I always believed somehow, that serving God in many things would grant me an entrance to heaven. But I got tired and worn out. Before coming to the conference I told God, 'This is it. Throw in the towel. I'm finished.' I came here without hoping to come out of the pit I was in. Today I know I want to die, yes, die, for Jesus to live in me. I am free, free form my burden, free from the fight with he flesh, yes I'm free. I thank God for loving us so much, and for these servants.
"When this conference began I was almost dead, I felt I had failed. But now I feel free and I understand God has a purpose for me."
