Piripiri Encountered Open Heavens: Piauí was Marked with Salvation, Healings, and Freedom
The crusade in Piripiri, Brazil, was marked by a powerful move of the Holy Spirit from the very first night. God’s presence rested over the city, awakening the Church and reaching entire families with the living power of the Gospel.
On the opening night, evangelist Waldemar Berscheminski delivered a clear and urgent challenge: “Church, leave the four walls!” We were not called to comfort, but to impact the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The response was immediate—hearts opened, faith was stirred, and heaven began to touch earth.
Following this, Pastor Jean Rothem ministered on divine healing, and testimonies began to spread throughout the crowd. Jesus confirmed His Word with visible signs, reminding us of His promise in Mark 16: “These signs will accompany those who believe.”
Even when heavy rain fell over the city, nothing could stop what heaven had already begun. The church remained full, the spiritual atmosphere intensified, and something remarkable happened—even children were filled with the Holy Spirit. It was a powerful encounter with the supernatural presence of God, fulfilling before our eyes the promise of Joel 2:28: “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions“.
As the nights progressed, the crowds continued to grow—families, youth, and children gathered with a deep hunger for God. The second night was marked by a true outpouring of healing power. One of the most moving testimonies came from a young girl who had received prayer during school outreaches. She was deaf, and through faith experienced a creative miracle—her hearing was completely restored. That night, she stood on the platform declaring with joy, “I can hear!”
Throughout the crusade, the Gospel was confirmed with power through many miracles, including:
👉 Deaf ears opened
👉 Chronic pain instantly healed
👉 People oppressed by evil spirits set free
👉 Entire families surrendering their lives to Jesus
👉 Children praying with faith and encountering God
👉 Lives restored physically, emotionally, and spiritually
The deliverance ministry, led with authority by Elias Annacondia, was equally impactful. Spiritual chains were broken, oppression lifted, and an atmosphere of freedom and joy filled the gathering. Once again, we witnessed the fulfillment of Mark 16:20: the Lord working together with His servants and confirming the Word with signs following.
The final night of the crusade was a glorious climax. An even larger crowd gathered, and Piripiri was swept by a wave of salvation and miracles. Young people were reconciled to God, families were transformed, and the altar was filled with tears, hugs, and new beginnings. During prayer, spiritual bondage was broken, miracles happened openly, and many stepped into a brand-new chapter of life.
Beyond the crusade nights, the Gospel also reached the city through house-to-house outreach, especially in the most vulnerable neighborhoods. Food was provided for physical needs, and hope was brought to hurting hearts. Families who did not know how they would eat the next day received a clear message from heaven: “You are not forgotten. God loves you. He sees your pain.”
We are deeply grateful to all our partners who faithfully stand with us through prayer and financial support. Every life saved, every miracle witnessed, and every city reached is the fruit of this partnership.
We invite you to continue supporting the harvest of souls around the world.
The Gospel is advancing—and together, we can reach even more lives.
With deep gratitude,
Evangelist Rubens Cunha
