New England Ministry Trip Update!

Friends!


The New England trip was amazing! After 40 days of fasting for college campuses with a focus on the Ivy League Schools, IHOP University sent out over 300 students to Boston for a huge ministry trip. We held services every night at a local church in downtown Boston, and we sent out teams everyday to preach the gospel and pray for the sick at Harvard and other Ivy League schools, and we also had a prayer room going all day praying for the teams that were doing the outreaches. We saw so many testimonies of salvation, healing, and notable miracles!

I personally got to share the gospel with many Harvard students including Muslims, Hindus, and hard-core Atheists. I also go to open air preach at Harvard square declaring the love of Christ His people in Boston, it was a powerful experience for me. As I was preaching a angry guy rushed at me yelling and pointing the finger in my face (I thought he was going to beat me up), so my friend and I started sharing the love of Jesus with him and in a moment his heart became open to the Gospel and he almost broke down and started crying, 20 minutes later he gave us all hugs and left looking nothing like the guy who was about to punch me in the face :) I pray that Jesus will encounter Max and continue to put people in his path that would speak truth in his life.

Please be praying for me as I finish out my last few weeks of school, I will give updates on my summer plans soon. If you would like to sow in financially to what the Lord is doing over here you can always donate online through my paypal account.

May the Lord bless you and keep you!
In Christ,
Brother Leo :)

Prayer Request!

Friends!

I have wonderful news and a prayer request... On April 4th I will be going on a week long ministry trip to Boston with about 100 students from IHOP-U!!! A couple of months ago Lou Engle called the students to a 40 day fast praying for revival in New England with a specific focus on the Ivy-League schools. In beginning of the month about 40 students left to spend the 40 days fasting and praying in Boston, they have also been hosting services and evangelizing at the college campuses almost daily. April 4th my self and about 100 more students will join them for a week until the end of the fast on April 9th. We believe that the Lord wants to break in into the Ivy-League schools that the next generation of the leaders of our nation will be marked by Jesus, and we are praying for another "Great Awakening" to be sparked in New England that would impact our whole nation.

PRAYER REQUEST
Please be praying for me and the team.
