Hey Everyone,
Heres a quick update, this is a letter from Mike Fleming to Gerry Stoltzfoos for the prayer chain Our Church offers;
from Mike Fleming, our missionary from our own youth group- to the Dominican
Republic:
On Monday, Daniel and I went to visit another warlock, who is the head of
the
chapter located in the neighborhood of Padre Las Casas know as Buena Vista.
To
my surprise, this was an 18 year old boy! These demons seem to capture
these
children when they are young and innocent, and is usually passed down by
other
family members who were involved in "curanderismo, " or healing magic. They
insist it is not witchcraft, and what they do is done in the "name of God."
This
particular boy got his powers when he was 11, after apparently having been
visited by a spirit, who revealed to him everything he was to do. These
spirits
are thought by their followers to be canonized Catholic saints, or
indigenous
Taino indian warriors who reveal to them wisdom of healing and remedies.
To tell you the truth, talking this boy was like talking to the devil
himself:
not the evil scary idea of the devil, but the eloquent, deceitful, witty
personality of Satan who can recite scripture and twist it to fit whatever
he
wants. He is articulate and insightful, yet full of half truths
and accusations
toward the Christian church based on slightly exaggerated claims; just
what the
enemy does best. I realized that to go back, I will need to be well
prepared,
as the other warlock that I have been witnessing to seems to have
considerably
less maturity in his craft than this young man. I did not go to preach to
him
the first time, only to listen to him and learn a little bit of what we are
dealing with before proceeding forward. He was surprisingly friendly and
enthusiastic about speaking with us. He seemed to love the attention and
the
opportunity of a captive audience, which I am assuming other Christians have
not
given him in his previous encounters. This is what I would like for the
prayer
warriors of Freedom Valley to assist Daniel and I with, the spiritual
coverage
and wisdom to share the Gospel effectively and win these men to Christ.
Thank
you so much for all of your prayers and support.
~Mike

So thats a letter from Mike to Gerry, Below is my own add.
He invited us to one of his rituals, at a Temple in the mounntains of San Jaun. SO we invited him to a Bible Study.
He ask if i was a movie star, Then proceded 2 say I look like a porn star that he has seen on TV before. Hes very decietful, witty, and has the gift to preach. BUT We have built a relationship with him,.
The first time I met him, his old man was doin chores around the house with a pistol in the back of his pants, when he finally came over to defend his son,( when really we were just talking) it was pretty interesting. Finally his son(the warlock) told him to go on.
Anyway no worries, we are covered and protected BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. Love yall.
We are determined to let JESUS do what he does best!!!

Free In Christ,
