Full Steam Ahead!
TWO THINGS WE URGENTLY NEED!
1. We need a Financial Miracle because our Missions Account is depleted, we are in the 4th year of this term and God has multiplied our responsibilities. We need to raise $10,000 immediately to be able to cover our current responsibilities in Argentina and the usual 4th year deficit we experience as missionaries so we can return to the USA for furlough in March 2022 debt free in our AGWM account.
2. We also need to book services for beginning in March 2022 through March 2023. If you would like to book us for a Missions Miracle Service, please write me and we will get your church on the calendar. michelle.wellborn@gmail.com
THE REST OF THIS NEWSLETTER IS A POWERFUL TESTIMONY OF NOTHING LESS THAN A SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!
COVID-19 has been odd for everyone, trying to navigate this season of simply not understanding, not being able to plan. However, that’s the beauty of this season; it’s been a season of leaning not on our own understanding, but following the leading of the Holy Spirit even more than ever. As we grow in the knowledge of Him, we are able to soak in all that He dreams for us and then live in His miraculous dream.
This Summer God has been so creative in how He has used our family. We went back into lockdown in Argentina and had a government enforced 8PM – 8AM daily curfew, still having to ask permission from the government to move about. It starts wearing on you, but in the midst of all of that, we were obedient to the Lord and did everything He asked us to do.

Pentecost At Home on Zoom
|
|
|
In May, we celebrated “Pentecost at Home” again, via zoom. For those of you who have ministered the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to kids, know that this is already a challenge in person and to even attempt to do it thru Zoom sounds insane. But when God shows you a picture of what is going to happen, you know that it’s completely crazy but completely possible for Jesus.
|
|
• We saw hundreds of kids receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit all over Latin America and so many creative miracles of healing. We received testimonies of kids seeing visions of Jesus appearing in their rooms and feeling fire in their hands.
• To receive notes from parents completely excited was so awesome. One parent said, “I attended Pentecost at Home with my two sons, Santi who is 10 and Nacho who is 5. Both of them received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Santi told Nacho that he needed to say nice things to Jesus like he would say to his mom and that’s how Nacho began to speak in tongues. I am so thankful to God and to each one who made this possible.”
• Another parent wrote, “Good night, Pastors. I am so thankful to God for the move of the Holy Spirit and every word that was released this evening. Today, God re-confirmed His promise and purpose in my son Samuel’s heart. God bless you.”
• THE SOUND OF PENTECOST: There are no words to explain what it sounds like to tell hundreds of kids to unmute their microphones on Zoom and speak in their new prayer language.

CDR Institute: Our New Online Discipleship Program
|
|
The Launch of CDR Institute has been a huge amount of work, but it has also been a Supernatural Endeavor. Only God could have planned what would happen because we could never have made it happen in the natural. He gave us the plan to start a leadership school for those working with the Next Generations, and revival has broken out all over the place. We have students in Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, USA, Italy, and Brazil, and God is using them to populate Heaven.
• I estimate through the homework of personal evangelism 2,500 have come to know the Lord as their Savior.
• Our Students have seen countless miracles as they live like Jesus. Every class that they take has an activation assignment for them to live like Jesus on the streets, in the homes, in their discipleship groups and in their lives.
• One lady, Malvina, started the school because her pastor signed her up. On this journey this year she has given up her addiction to cigarettes, been baptized with the Holy Spirit, has been freed from depression, is in love with Jesus, and telling others about Jesus. She says “CDR Institute changed my life. I can’t believe how alive I feel, and I want everyone to know about Jesus.”
• Our students are learning how to minister the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to kids in class, and then have to do it the next weekend outside of class. It’s awesome to see how God is using pre-recorded classes to spark flames of revival.

King’s Castle Church Plant in Argentina
|
|
In 2021 we helped launch a King’s Castle church plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The stories are so cool to see how the power of Jesus can restore identity and purpose, and give young kids a future.
• One girl that I have become close to at the church has her dad in prison, lives with her grandparents and loves coming to church because she says “I love being surrounded by love.”
• Another girl who is 5, when we talked about conquering fears, she began to cry. “I am scared of being abandoned again.” During the pandemic her mom left, and she was all alone. A lady in the community took her in.
• As we love on these kids they are experiencing the love of Jesus in a real way. We have had moments where the kids are weeping, receiving hugs from God. We are believing that God is going to do something tremendous in restoring life to the barrio.

Missions Trip to El Salvador
|
|
|
Due to the government lockdown and shutdowns, our girls were not able to travel to El Salvador for the summer last year. But this year God opened a window, and we sent Lexi and Bella and my right arm in ministry, Caro, for the summer to work with King’s Castle El Salvador. God used them in a mighty way. They ministered every day the identity of being a son and daughter of the King. So many kids came to know Jesus in a real way. The cool thing to watch was seeing the Castishow in Action. (Last year we launched a program on YouTube for kids) Sometimes you do things for God, and you don’t fully know the effect it has on the kingdom. When we hear testimonies like: “We watch Castishow every week with our family;” “God healed me as I watched Castishow;” “I got saved watching Castishow;” It’s unreal how God can use a simple “yes” to change eternity.

My girls and Caro were able to help with the King’s Castle Church in El Salvador rescue the lives of the so many kids who hadn’t been able to come to church for over a year. They got to love on the kids, and God used them in the project MINAS (Like a Community based Sidewalk Sunday School), going into the barrios and finding God’s most prized possession, His jewels, the kids. It’s amazing what happens when something broken, hurt, abandoned, rejected comes in the presence of Jesus, and in seconds, His love permeates, comforts, renews, changes completely. There is so much power in the name of Jesus. It was beautiful to see the CastiShow being used in the MINAS to reach the children of 31 gang run communities where the kids are watching our CastiShow and growing into modern day disciples of Jesus.

The Multimedia Ministry School Grows & Expands
|
|
|
It is amazing what God is doing in EMM (Escuela Ministerial de Multimedia / Multimedia Ministry School). It is always so humbling to see how the Lord has grown the number of students each year; this year we have already grown to 207 students in our program and we are not finished yet! Our online version of the school is up and running, and soon we will be able to start planting our “EMM Affiliate Schools” all over Latin America; we feel the Lord is really going to take us to the next level as we partner with bible schools, churches, and ministries all over Latin America to help plant local EMM training centers anywhere the Lord opens doors. It has been so exciting to see what God spoke so many years ago, come to reality! We even launched our first affiliate school in El Salvador where when we left back in 2006 students had given us a prophetic word saying that the Lord would use our Argentine media school to return to El Salvador to train Salvadorans and people throughout Latin America!

Right now we are in the middle of a building project, and we are so excited to see the Media Center at the bible school coming together. As the walls are plastered and floors getting ready to lay the carpet down, our staff and students wrote promises, scripture verses, and words from the Lord on the walls and concrete floor and inner walls surrounding the place with God’s written word and promises.

The half has NOT been told!
|
|
There is so much to tell, so much that is going on, and we really can’t do this without you. Thank you for staying with us, praying for us, holding our arms up, supporting us, caring about our family, and the list goes on. This has been a season of so much change, so many frustrations, so many distractions, but God doesn’t make mistakes. He knows what He is doing. He is not surprised one bit. During this season, we saw a drop in support, but continued to trust God. Thank you for your financial support. Every victory we have lived this year, is your victory, too. So many lives have been changed, transformed because of you. As we are coming into Fall, into a season of thankfulness, reflecting on what GOD is doing, I am overwhelmed by the love of God, and the privilege it is to serve HIM. As we finish up this third term here in Argentina, we are so thankful.
We will be coming to the USA to itinerate in March 2022, and we are so excited to share what God is doing.
We want to book Revival Services for all ages, minister to media teams, children crusades, camps and whatever God dreams up for 2022.
If you would like us to come to your church, we are booking for next year now. michelle.wellborn@gmail.com
