Well of Life and Festival for Life
La Canada de Camboya was a community without safe drinking water for its estimated 1,100+ people. Through the Festival and generous supporters like YOU, we were able to provide drinkable water via a new water system and additional holding tanks.
From this came the Government’s commitment to further care for the families living in La Canada by paving roads, improving electricity and more.
During the well dedication celebration, when the Gospel was given, dozens more responded. What a great start to the day!

The Festival was rocking by the 6 pm start time with popular local artists building up to fan favorite performers Tercer Cielo and Redimi2. Mike’s message of hope and salvation visibly resonated with many. His practical visuals powerfully illustrated the Gospel in new ways, drawing many to the Lord. Praise God!

Barahona Pastors Conference
Last night was our “Fruit That Remains” Pastors Conference and hundreds of leaders gathered to pray, learn and worship together. Mike Silva and Pastor Jaime Loya of Cross Church in San Benito, Texas, had a powerful word of encouragement and inspiration for the Pastors and Leaders of this City. The growing hope and belief that their city will be spiritually revived and transformed because of what God is doing this week was palpable in that place. It was an incredible time of unity for the church in Barahona as well! What an honor it is to be a part of this monumental time.
Thank you so much to the supporters and prayer warriors who are making this trip possible. It couldn’t be happening without you and we are so grateful for what has taken place already and what is yet to come in our last few days here!
Curiosity Is Building Over The Good News That is Coming!
Schedules are full, our teams’ impact is multiplying, and the anticipation for the Festival is exponentially increasing as Mike is sharing on TV and radio broadcasts, meeting with government officials and local military and police, and making it known to ALL that we have some GOOD NEWS to share VERY SOON! Our serve teams are joyfully and diligently sharing their personal testimonies and the loving Gospel message with children at schools and orphanages throughout the city. Teams have also hit the city’s streets – inviting everyone they encounter to the Festival! Numbers are still coming in, but the teams have already seen numerous people receive Christ! We are so encouraged!
