18th October 8th November 2003
A team of five, which included Rev. Emy Stephenson
embarked on this tour.
 |
 |
Our
first engagement was at Cocoyea Open
Bible Church @ 9.00am Sunday morning
(19th Oct). The Lord moved miraculously.
Approximately 5 souls were saved during
this service. There were so many testimonies.
The one that had a lasting effect
on everyone was a 14 year old boy
who travelled over 40 miles to attend
this church. He told us the story
of how he was treated by some of his
classmates at school when he tried
to minister to them about Jesus Christ,
they pelted him with paper and teased
him. He later gave away his last dollar
and believed that God would increase
that dollar before the end of the
day. He had no bus fare to take him
home. By the end of the day he received
3 dollars and gave one dollar to the
boy in his classroom who pelted him
with the paper. His story had such
an impact on everyone. We were told
it was mentioned on their local radio
station. The Lord decided to bless
him one hundred fold (financially)
during the service.
|
Later on in the evening we visited Palo Seco
Open Bible Church. They had such an awesome
praise & worship which ushered us into
the presence of God. All in all the two weeks
we spent in Trinidad the Lord used all of
us in a mighty way. The Lord showed us this
was very much a deliverance tour. So many
peoples lives were changed, so many people
were set free from bondage, it was such a
blessing. The other churches we visited in
Trinidad were Moruga
Open Bible, Marabella Open Bible (Mountain
Movers), San Fernando Open Bible, Tunapuna
Open Bible, Barrackpore Open Bible and Point
Fortin (Mountain Movers.

Rapture Ministries with a plaque in
honour of the work that the Ministry
have done in the past in Trinidad
|
We then went on to Venezuela - Peurto Ordaz,
on Friday 31st October. Our first meeting
was at Communidad Cristiana Hossana Church,
which was an open air meeting (in a tent).
The presence of God was awesome in Venezuela.
This country had so many people who delved
in witchcraft and various demonic forces,
but the Lord intervened souls were set
free. We then went on to The Light House Ministries
– This church was the first English speaking
church we attended, this church had Trinidadians,
Guyanese and a few Jamaicans. The forces of
witchcraft was very prominent here, but there
were miraculous healing. There was a particular
lady who appeared to be partially crippled.
She seemed or appear to have had a stroke
on her right side, which left her arm partially
bent and her fingers were permanently closed,
demonstrating a clenched fist. The Lord moved
in a miraculous way pertaining to this lady,
the Lord firstly delivered her, then healed
her, she was able to open her fingers. She
jumped for joy, this was a day of rejoicing!!!
The other churches we visited were Cristiana
Misionera & Roca de Salcacion.

Ministries is doing in the hospitals
especially the San Fernando General
Hospital.

Trinidad is a very special place in our hearts,
that is why Rapture Ministries would like
to work and help the unfortunate people where
ever we can. So far Rapture Ministries has
helped the San Fernando Hospital in Trinidad
by supplying them much needed trolleys, wheel-chairs,
desks, ward curtains, which was much appreciated
by the South Regional Health authorities.
Rapture Ministries vision is to help the less
fortunate children, the elderly whom have
no relatives, the unfortunate people who have
contracted terminal diseases and have no one
to turn to for help.
The staff at San Fernando Hospital have shown
there appreciation when they presented Rapture
Ministries with a plaque in honour of the
work that the Ministry have done in the past
in Trinidad.
