Apple Valley, California

 March 27-30 I preached a revival for Pastor Paul Gualtieri in Apple Valley, Ca. Paul, along with wife Lupe and family have been laboring in this city for almost a year now. They have seen a great response to the gospel since they landed last year. Beginning with services in their house, then later acquiring a building, there has been a steady flow of vissitors, people saved, delivered and healed and disciples beginning to be raised up. Paul and Lupe always had the gift of hospitality and fellowship in the mother church, and Lupe organised most of the fellowships at church over the last few years including conference, New Years, etc. They have taken that same approach to their pioneer work and it is paying great dividends in lives touched and a church being established.
 Our revival went well from the opening service, through the week we saw 7 people saved, many healed and on the last night we saw two precious souls filled with the Holy Ghost. In fellowshipping with Paul, he expressed his desire to contend for a Pentecostal outpouring in his church and Apple Valley. We saw a trickle of that outpouring during the revival. Pray for the Gualtieri's as they labor there as there are many strongholds that need to be broken for God to do all He wants to do. They are having an invasion team this summer and if you have the opportunity to go, I would encourage you to so as this city just reeks of potential for the gospel.
