On Friday, October 13th starting at 9 PM we have had one of the most anointed vigils in our four year history. The House of God was packed out to about 60 hungry believers and yes the Power of God came down. We were blessed with the ministry of Glen and Terri Smith from Shem Ministries. They have an anointing for the signs and wonders following the Word and manifested in gemstones appearing. We had all kinds of gems appearing from heaven in all sizes and colors. Almost all present at the meeting received a beautiful gem but above all that the Name of Jesus was exalted. We had many miracles and healings and we saw many transformed by the Mercy of God .This was a true international meeting as we had people from Africa, Asia and Russia hungry for the Power of God. The meeting ended at about 2 AM with some driving up to 4 hours to attend.The Lord is good and His mercies are forever. PTL!

East Coast Ministry Trip Report

Dear Friends of the Ministry,

Thank you for your support and prayers, which have opened up the doors and allowed us to minister in diverse places. With this letter, we wish to give you an update on our subsequent trips, and also give you our schedule for future outreach. Our last East Coast trip was a great spiritual success. From March 29 through April 4th, we were blessed to be ministering in New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. In New York, we shared one evening at Kittim Silva’s church in Queens, New York. At this service, we were able to meet a pastor by the name of Javier Montenegro, who heads a powerful Hispanic church in Beersheba, Israel. This has opened up the doors to minister in Hispanic churches in Israel, which number twenty-five congregations. Also in New York, we were able to minister with a dear servant of the Lord, Carmencita Vale Ramos. This powerful minister of God has had the privilege of ministering all over Europe, and has also had an audience with Queen Elizabeth. She has opened up many doors internationally for our ministry.

In New Jersey, we had some powerful ministry at two Bible studies in Morristown and Vineland. On Sunday April 1st, we did two services, first in Philadelphia at the Cuban church, Fuentes de Vida, and in the evening we ministered at the In Company of Jesus Church in Vineland. All of these services were spiritually anointed, as we saw the Lord bring the Heavens down in salvations, deliverances, and miracles. In the Cuban church, we had a pastor’s wife who had a vision of Heaven. Toward the end of the service, her spiritual eyes were opened, and she saw the lights and rainbows in the Heavenly places. She cried out in joy and named what she was seeing. She also let us know that her life had changed forever in that moment. Our days were also blessed as we were able to minister with two powerful women of God, Leonor Rex, and Libertad Morano. Through these servants we saw some powerful healings and deliverances among the brethren, especially in the Cuban congregation. All in all, the ministry was very effective, seeing the compassion and the anointing that the Lord deposited on those that were hungry. What a blessing it is to be willing, and obedient to the Lord.

Our future trips for this year are just beyond our capacity to reason in the natural. God has opened up the floodgates of blessing for us with coming ministry all over the world. May 3 to 5, I will be doing prison ministry in Fresno, California; and then later this same month, heading to Moscow, Russia, for ministry in churches, prisons, and orphanages. The coordinator for this trip will be Pastor Sergie of Church of Truth Ministry located in Vancouver, WA., who will go over ahead of me. Our following trip is programmed for August 2-28, to Australia and the Cook Islands. Eneida and I will be going together for that crusade. This will be exciting because we will be able to minister to the aborigines and other diverse outreaches in Australia, and then have the once-in-a lifetime opportunity to be in different islands of Polynesia as a conference speaker.

Please keep us in prayer. You, as supporters, are vital to our being able to go to these different nations, and take the Word of the Gospel around the world. Please pray about helping us, as the Lord leads you, with these ministry and financial needs. “How shall they preach, except they be sent. As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tiding of good things,” Romans 10:15.

Eternally grateful in His service,

Milton and Eneida Alvarez, Rom. 10:8-10

With this letter we wish to give you an update of our ministry outreaches, also to thank you very sincerely for your faithful prayers for us, and generous support, which make possible our continued labors for the Lord.

As we wrote in our last newsletter, we were privileged to minister earlier this year in the Cayman Islands, Cuba, also in Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, and California, through home Bible meetings, church services, rehab centers, and in prisons. To God be the glory for souls saved, healings, and deliverances. Most recently, I just returned from a very productive and spiritually fruitful ministry trip to Russia, May 10th through May 21st.

The Lord is opening doors now for ministry during the rest of the year, with August 2-28 in Australia and the Cook Islands.

Again, we wish to express our appreciation for your generous support and your prevailing prayers for our ministry. You are the ones the Lord uses to provide for our needs, so that we can do His work all over the world. International travel is extremely expensive and demanding, and as you give and pray, you are right along with us, co-laboring for the Lord’s glory and the salvation of precious souls this last hour before His return.

Philippines Ministry Trip Report

In late January we did our first ministry trip of 2007 to Manila, in the Philippines. God moved mightily in every meeting where we ministered. We saw many salvations, healings, deliverances and miracles in these meetings. We ministered in three churches, at three FGBMFI dinners, in two orphanages and at one prison. At Word for the World Church, one of the largest in Manila, we saw a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit, as hundreds were touched by the power of God as they sought Him, lining up at the altar. That same afternoon, we preached at a small church where the same hunger for God was manifested. All in all, the trip to Manila, was very fruitful, very encouraging, and a tremendous learning experience. Contacts were also made for future ministry.

The Full Gospel Businessmen there are really on fire for the Lord. The three meetings where we participated, we saw a genuine hunger for God, and as a result of their seeking, businessmen from all walks of life were powerfully touched. In one of the meetings, a young man from Nepal was changed by the power of God. Now he has opened the doors for future ministry in Katmandu. At the orphanages we also saw a mighty work of God. We were able to distribute clothes and tracts to be used there. The children expressed gratitude as they receiving mightily during the services. The River of God Orphanage in the city of Pasig, was ministered to, with the Spirit of God touching many in the area of deliverance. We saw the reality of God impact the youth, with many receiving dreams and visions for the future.

At the prison, we spent a whole day watching God perform many wonderful miracles, along with hundreds of salvations. We left satisfied, knowing that the Holy Spirit had changed lives radically. One of the greatest miracles of which we heard was that of an ex-convict, who at the moment of execution, received a call from the President to give him a full pardon. He had given his life to Jesus the previous year; and while sitting in the electric chair, with only one minute more, he was set free. This is a testimony of the mercy of God. This man now goes back to the prisons to proclaim “liberty to the captives,” Isaiah 60:1,2.

The other wonderful meeting we had was at a the office of one of the top lawyers in Manila, Joe Villanueva. His cases include even those of the Supreme Court. Every Thursday he has a powerful prayer meeting that starts at 12:00 noon, and finishes at 2:30 p.m. Here we saw the power of God manifested, as we ministered to lawyers, pastors, and clients alike. His law firm is booming because he has put Jesus Christ first. He also opened the prisons for us. We were thankful to Captain Umberto Lotilla for hosting us, and we know the Philippines will never be the same. I thank God for the privilege and the honor of preaching in a country were there is such hunger and desperation for God. We are planning future trips there, but we greatly need your powerful prevailing prayer, and also provision for the finances to be able to return. You can be co-laborers with us, through your help in reaching many nations which are desperately crying for the Light.

Cayman Islands and Cuba Ministry Trip Report

On Wed., February 14, we flew to the Grand Cayman Islands from Los Angeles, arriving around 5:00 p.m. We were taken to the Cayman Hospital, to pray for the sick. The Lord gave signs and wonders, following His Word. We prayed for a man on the verge of a heart attack, who was released a few days later from the hospital. He had such peace after we prayed for him, and we felt at that moment that God had healed him.

On Friday, the 16^th, we had the first meeting of a three-day (not consecutive) open-air crusade at West Bay. Many were touched by the power of God that first night. The next day, we spoke at the Cayman Outreach Association, where many were touched by the Lord in a special way. Saturday morning saw us ministering at Northward Prison, with two receiving salvation, others rejoicing in deliverance and healings. That evening we again held an open-air evangelistic meeting.

The following days, Eneida was able to give a Women’s Seminar at the Embajadores Church, which had promoted the open-air crusade. At that church itself, an indoor crusade meeting saw miracles, like the paralyzed woman, who hadn’t walked for three years, completely healed! There were also deliverances and many touched by the power of the Holy Spirit.

On Wednesday, February 21, upon arriving in Havana, we found a tremendous spiritual resistance. At the airport we discovered that our tour package was not honored, and we had to struggle to find a ride to the city and a hotel. After losing various hours, we were finally taken to Hotel Occidental Miramar in the embassy area. That night, as we went out to get a meal, Eneida had her purse stolen by a street thief. The tragic part was that inside the purse were her visa, passport, and airline tickets, without which she could not leave the country. After countless hours with the police, we decided to pray all night, and the Lord answered our prayers. At 9:00 a.m. the next morning, we received a call from a Cuban worker, stating the documents had been found! This was true miracle, as without these documents, she would have been detained in the country. He we see that God protects His own. Seeing initially this opposition by the enemy, we understood there was a great blessing in store for our time in Cuba. The morning that we went to get the purse, the person that contacted me accepted the Lord, and later the man who had found it also received Jesus as Savior.

That evening at 6:30 p.m., the Victory Outreach Church, the Lord used us to give a powerful word for the country of Cuba, and for the church in general. The next day, Friday, we moved in with some believers in Laton, a suburb of the capital. In spite of all the poverty and lack, it was a joy to see the fire in their hearts that they had for the Lord. That evening, I was able to preach at another church of the same denomination, with four salvations, and the fire of God came down. Eneida simultaneously at another location was able to minister at a meeting of the Full Gospel Businessmen. At the end, I was also able to share there, and bring a word of consolation and powerful prophesies.

On Saturday the 24^th in the morning, we were able to share a word at the Prince of Peace

Church in Laton. We weren’t able to come in as preachers, having entered with tourist visas instead of religious visas, but we could bring “greetings,” which we did, from the island of Puerto Rico! This was a powerful service, as we saw the hunger of the people for the blessing of God.

At this service, there were over 200 people in attendance, unusually large for a church in Havana, where there is more control, since it’s the capital.

On Sunday, at 10:00 a.m., we had a powerful service in the town of Guanabacoa, in a

Pentecostal Church. This was one of the most powerful services where we have ever ministered , with over 500 in attendance. The anointing came down like rivers of fire, with many healed, and delivered. There were also seven salvations. The meeting finished at 2:00 p.m, barely giving us time to get to the airport. We thank God for His miraculous power to be a light to Cuba. We know that this is the beginning of many future visits to bless this nation. As a side note, there are over one million Christians in Cuba in a population of around twelve million. This means that God is doing tremendous work in this nation, and the best is yet to come.

We flew back that afternoon from Havana to the Cayman Islands, and upon arrival, we were able to minister to our good friends, Dr. Charles and his wife Jannelle. On Monday, February 26^th, as we were leaving for Los Angeles, a young girl to whom we had ministered there in Cayman brought my wife a gift in the form of a lovely watch. The Lord did this, replacing the one that had been stolen from her in Havana!

We returned to L.A. that night, arriving there around 1:00 in the morning. Later that same day, we met with a Christian actor, Mel Novak, who has done movies with Chuck Morris and Bruce Lee. We were able to pray and fellowship at King’s Restaurant, on Long Beach, CA.

Thank you for all your prayers and intercession, because without this we would not have been able to accomplish the Lord’s work as we did. Thank you also for the financial support to help make all this possible. In coming weeks we will be in the area of Philadelphia and New Jersey, preaching at churches, halfway houses, prisons, and a Christian radio station. The first church where we will be is a Cuban church, Leon de Judah. Keep us in prayer for some powerful services, and the glory of God to be manifested.
