Warming up for our crusade with Evangelist Gamaliel Sosa on June 14, 15 and 16, Pastor Carlos and his team held a “pre-crusade” on April 14 in the Colonia (neighborhood) of Las Palmas. The official starting time was 7:00 p.m. (before dark), but as you can see in the pictures, the crowd really didn’t arrive until just after dark, around 8:00 p.m.

As we learned and experienced from the Carlos Annacondia crusade in April of 2016, extensive training of a crusade’s ministry teams is essential. We were required to begin preparation for the Annacondia crusade one year in advance. Although the preparation included more meetings than we would have ever chosen to attend or host, we saw the positive results—the power of the prayer and the excellence of the ministry teams.

With this experience in mind, Pastor Carlos began sending out teams−made up of a total of 70 of his people−to evangelize the area around the Colonia of Las Palmas. Armed with flyers, they went from house to house introducing themselves to area residents and inviting them to church and the upcoming crusade.  In addition, those in the ministry teams began relationships with many new people. These connections included the offer to pray for any specific needs the families had.

An estimated 350 people attended the crusade, with close to 150 receiving Christ for the first time! Many also requested prayer for healing, the results of which have not yet come in.  This “practice run” began to prepare the spiritual atmosphere of the area for the larger crusade in June. It also trained the workers for the many committees necessary for the upcoming crusade.

We believe the time has begun for the reaping of the last day harvest (with only the Father knowing the length of time this will be). In response to the cries of His people, the Lord will be sending an increased presence of His Spirit to earth. This increased presence will lift Jesus up and will draw all who will come to faith in Christ. This drawing will include the removing of the veil from the eyes of many who presently do not acknowledge Jesus as God or as the Messiah; or as the only way to renewed fellowship with the Father, resulting in eternal life.

In response to what we believe God has begun in many locations around the world, including Los Cabos, we want to be ready for our part in this great outpouring. The relatively small crusade at Las Palmas was just the beginning of what we believe will come to Los Cabos, Mexico, and to the ends of the earth.

If you have not read about our ‘Perimeter People’ initiative, an effort to cover the area of Los Cabos in prayer each and every day, please read the blog posted just before this one.  Pray. Ask the Lord which day you could commit to praying for Los Cabos.  Then, e-mail us and let us know when we can count on your prayers. Please, do not wait.  We will begin to put together a calendar of prayer partners and commitments roll in.

We can never thank-you enough for every part each of you play in the transformation of Los Cabos. We would not be here without you!

We published an article in the last newsletter entitled, “Consistent, Intentional Prayer.” We are now ready to launch this extremely necessary initiative in an attempt to bolster a continued, systematic prayer covering for the Municipality of Los Cabos.

In that article (available on our website), I shared the origin of the term “Perimeter People.” I also shared the difficulty we have had in organizing consistent prayer in our area. We desperately need committed Christians who have a passion for the power of prayer and have a burden for the area of Los Cabos−even though living elsewhere. If you are reading this article, you may be one of many the Lord may prompt to commit to this initiative (For those of you who live here and are willing to commit to consistent prayer, thank-you as well. At this time, please send an email to info@newlifeoutreach.us. I will notify you when we launch our local prayer initiative).  

• The Purpose of this project is to have consistent prayer coverage for each day of every month of the year. This prayer coverage will be as a canopy of glory, which will begin to protect the Los Cabos area from the influence of the enemy and will reverse existing enemy strongholds.

 

• We will try to assign your day of the month on a first-requested basis. For any months shorter than 31 days, the prayer partners for the unused days for that month will pray on the last day.

 

• You may commit to praying for the Los Cabos area as an individual, a couple, a family (immediate or extended), a small group of friends or coworkers, a youth group, a Sunday School class, a Bible study group, or an entire church or business. We are asking for a minimum of fifteen minutes of prayer on your assigned day—up to coverage throughout the entire day for larger groups.Please feel free to be creative and have fun with your commitment.

 

• We do ask that at any time you find you are unable to continue to fulfill your or your group’s prayer commitment, simply let us know so we can reassign that day of the month. We are extremely grateful for any amount of time you are able to cover the Los Cabos’ area in prayer.

 

• I will attempt to send each person/group an email each month (near the end of the month) listing the following month’s prayer requests.

 
Since there is no time or distance in the spirit realm, the future of the Municipality of Los Cabos can be touched by caring members of the Body of Christ from around the world—just as though you lived here! Please start praying now as to what part the Lord would have for you in this project.

To get started today, please send us your name, along with your contact e-mail address (in the case of a group, please e-mail the name of your contact member, along with his/her contact information). Even if you are unable to make a commitment to be part of the “Perimeter Project,” we still want to thank-you for your concern with what the Lord is doing in Los Cabos, Mexico!

Evangelist Gamaliel Sosa is again coming to Los Cabos for a very special crusade—one we anticipate will be held on the “Promised Land” (If you are not familiar with this vision, this amazing story is on our website under “Blogging Cabo, 2/21/18”). The crusade is not until the nights of June 14, 15 & 16, but we are asking you to start praying now! New Life Outreach and the Cristo es el Camino Churches (Pastor Carlos’ churches) are bringing Gama in for a special “city-wide” event.  After our extensive planning experience from the Carlos Annacondia Crusade, we are ready!

Although ‘Gama’ has been a friend of Pastor Carlos’ since his youth and is now a friend of ours as well, we chose him because of the call of God on his life (we just have the privilege of being able to be blessed by his ministry before his calendar is continually filled years in advance). Gama is an evangelist with a precious call from the Lord, a powerful heritage in the Lord, as well as a powerful anointing for healing and evangelism. In Gama’s humility, the Lord will be able to use him mightily in the coming days of end-time harvest.

Why the excitement about the crusade being on the Promised Land? At this point, we are only able to afford to rent the property for the three days of the crusade, but please don’t forget this property is a huge, two and a half acre site in an easily accessible Los Cabos residential/commercial area. We will be praying over the site from now until the event and the presence of the Lord will fall on that property and ‘marinate’ it with the Holy Spirit during the nights of the crusade.

We are praying not only for the crusade; for salvations, deliverances and healings, but also for the ability to secure the land itself for continued ministry. Our first goal is for the new location of Pastor Carlos’ “mother” church—with only God knowing exactly what else He has in mind for the Promised Land!
