Mushroom? No! Miracle Tree!

The meeting was now over.  Around the altar I had just prayed individually for well over one hundred spiritually- hungry people.  Finally the crowds had mostly left the altar area.  Pastor Gustavo Rossi called his leadership team of about 15 men and women forward and asked me to pray individually with each one of them, too.  Three of these big men fell into my arms as I was praying for them and then collapsed to their knees. Then someone came to me and whispered that two little boys were waiting for me to pray with them.  I went across the altar area and prayed with them.  A little girl was standing alone not far away with her head bowed.  I knew that she was waiting to be next.  Someone captured that sacred moment with a camera. 

This is definitely a "miracle church".  The "Cathedral of Faith" of San Justo is only 3 years old.  The mother church, the "Cathedral of Faith" of Buenos Aires assisted them in getting started.  After renting for almost three years, a few months ago God allowed them to purchase this structure which they have renovated with mostly volunteer workers and have remodeled into a great church building... complete with classrooms and a large 3rd story all-purpose room.

But the greatest miracle of all is the rapidly growing congregation.  Last night another 13 people came forward for salvation.  Already they have about 60 cell groups of around 10 people each... and are training leaders for many more.  I estimated 500 people were present in the evening service.

The children were in their respective classrooms, but came filing in at the appointed moment to see Perfume and Felipe.

Meet Gustavo and Susana Rossi who pastor this thriving new church. 

Mushrooms often pop up almost full grown overnight, but do not last long. This new church grew up quickly like a mushroom, but now looks more like a "miracle tree" that is destined to bring forth much fruit and last until Jesus comes!


God gave us a beautiful service and, after almost an hour of prayer-time at the altar, many were still not wanting to leave.  The very atmosphere was charged with the presence of the Holy Spirit!
