The process began on July 1st with an opening service and welcome from the community to the Fijian and Fusion teams. Then, Monday through Saturday teams went into the participating North Omaha households to go through the transformation process. Each morning and afternoon the teams ministered to families until over 70 households were visited by the Lord, bringing life, healing, repentance, and reconciliation.
Each evening we met together as the corporate community to worship the Lord, share testimonies of what God was doing, and give people the opportunity to repent corporately for the sins that had impacted their lives, families, congregations, and community. The objective that week was to uproot the spiritual root system that was producing the bad “fruit” in the lives of people and the community. The process of repentance cleanses our hearts and removes legal ground the enemy feeds on to cause destruction. As the process continued, families were restored, healed, and rejoicing! The glory and joy of the Lord was evident on their faces and the excitement grew day by day as the testimonies spread throughout the community.
We experienced a bit of New Testament life during those 9 days! We realized this is what the Church SHOULD be doing! We should be meeting with families every day, ministering salvation, deliverance, forgiveness, and healing. We should meet together as the family of God in the evenings to rejoice in the what the Lord has done and go deeper to root out spiritual strongholds in the community itself.
Within a couple days of completing the healing the land process, we recieved testimonies of community impact. Crack houses were shut down and “renewal” efforts were launched targeting North Omaha, specifically the places we had targeted in prayer! God has come to North Omaha, and although this is just the beginning, it is real. We are so grateful to the Lord and encouraged about what is to come.
