¡Festival Por La Vida!
This has been both one of the best and one of the most difficult Festival weeks we’ve ever had. Spiritually speaking, we walked into a very dark city where the enemy’s stronghold is extremely evident. However, by the grace of Almighty God we saw the Lord show up in profound ways and be so faithful to us every step of the way.
We praise God that the Cartagena we will be leaving is not the same Cartagena as when we arrived. On one hand it is a very influential city and yet on the other, there is great physical and spiritual poverty. Through all the difficulties our team faced over the week – flight problems, illness, and numerous circumstances outside of our control each day- the Lord covered us and went before us answering every prayer we had. He is so good!
One of the most significant challenges of the week and a first for us – was a nationwide school strike that caught us off guard and briefly canceled our serve team’s ministry in local schools this week. One of the few schools that remained open allowed us to still come but prohibited our serve team from mentioning the name of Jesus or God – the enemy’s way of attempting to stifle the Gospel from being preached there. However, the Lord answered our prayers by giving the team a window where unexpectedly all of the teachers were called away at the same time… And do you know what we did? We told those children about the life-changing message of Jesus Christ and saw many come to know Him!
After the week we had, it was clear the enemy relentlessly wanted to prevent the Good News from going out by any means necessary. At the Festival we experienced technical difficulties throughout our program. The evil one tried at every turn to keep us from doing His Kingdom work. The Lord provided a hedge of protection around the proclamation of the Gospel. We were able to proclaim the Gospel to thousands and to an additional 33,036 people who viewed nights one and two on Facebook Live and Twitter. Hallelujah!
At the Festival Mike was on fire! His messages both nights were so clear & powerful and the response to the Gospel was astounding!

We continue to rejoice over all those who said, “YES” to Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your fervent prayers, the Lord moved mightily and many received Christ as personal Lord and Savior. If you missed it last night, the good news is that you can watch the recording of the live streamed event on the Mike Silva International Facebook page.
