Hello Champions Family
God is moving in a might way in Honduras!! Monday, we spent the morning with many of the government officials and military and police dignitaries as we had a service with them and the President of the country...first time ever that this has happened in the history of Honduras, WOW! We stood on the White House steps (equivalent) for a press conference following and then went to a reception after that. Then a few of us pastors went with Dr. J to the TBN equivalent in Honduras for a one hour program (live) in which 70 people called in for prayer. From there we went to Linner (lunch/dinner) and then off to a large church where we served dinner to the pastors who answered the invitation to come as the guest of Dr. Jacks ministry.
Yesterday was amazing! Our team went to an orphanage in the AM and we got to hang out and share the love of Jesus with precious little ones...the power of God was with us as we kept telling the children Te Almo...I love you...one little boy Miguel was off on his own and wouldn't respond. One of the guys on our team had taken a very funny video of another guy on the team who had fallen off of the treadmill at our hotel...it is hillarious!! So, the Holy Spirit reminded me of this video on his phone and we went to show it to Miguel...after encouraging him he finally looked up and he began to laugh...he asked to see it again...from that point on Miguel and I were tight...I gave atleast ten piggy back rides to multiple kids as I shared Padre Eduardro Te Almo Miguel or whichever kid was on my back at the time, they hugged us and played with us and it was difficult for us and them to leave each others presence. Before we left some of the team prayed for some of the teachers and they fell under the power of the Holy Spirit and then we prayed for the female director of the orphanage and God gave us several words and then I laid hands on her for a refreshing and declared into her life and the power of God refreshed her in a powerful way.
We then went to lunch (linner) as they only have bfast and dinner :) and then we got prepared for our ministry teams to go out to 5 churches in the evening...As we went two teams including mine went on the bus, my team was supposed to be dropped off first but there was a mix up with that church as we are going to be with them tonight...so we traveled on with Pastor Gary's team to their destination where we had a Holy Spirit Hospital if you will and God ministered healing, deliverance and His power to this church way off the beaten path, WOW, God is amazing! The children here are SOOOO precious and one last evening, a little girl stood out to me and God has a call on her life to preach the Gospel, what an incredible little girl, as we left she was waving to me with a huge smile, God had touched her powerfully and I believe she will never be the same, AMEN!!
Tonight we will be ministering with our teams in several churches and I will be heading up a team, Thurs, will be our first crusade, Friday the second, (all by the way 8pm your time if you can pray) then Saturday AM one of the host churches, a major church is having a men's conference at (6am :) ) and Pastor Don, Pastor Gary and I will be the speakers for that conference, way cool....then Saturday PM will be the Crusade right in front of the presidential palace...we are expecting an AMAZING MOVE OF GOD...by the way, it has only rained one time and it was yesterday for about an hour, otherwise, no rain except in the SPIRIT!!!!!
Love you all and miss you,
Pastor Nolan

Hey Champions Church!!
God is moving mightily in Honduras!! First night that we arrived on Friday evening, I joined Dr. Jack, Pastor Todd and Pastor Doug on Government Television with a born again lawyer who is the hostess and the Head of Religion for the government...powerful time of interview and call in's....Saturday, we had one group go out in the evening and we had a Holy Ghost time together in the AM (a little down time before the big push)...Today, we sent out five groups to five different churches one of which I was the team leader, the church was Dios Viviente (God is Alive) and we had a powerful time. God gave me a word of knowledge concerning a ladies ear which is how we started the time, the Holy Ghost touched her powerfully, then God gave me a word/vision for the church of a move of God going to come through the valley they are in, psunami of the river of God, there is a waterfall right next to their building, Cool! Our team minister together and greeted the people, it was as if it was our church as the people were so welcoming. I spoke on living in a place of rest. Mark 4:35-40 and the message was for the body but especially for the Senior Pastor. About 7 people came up for salvation and then we prayed for those who wanted more of God...everyone came forward and most hit the floor as our team went to work...many were healed...prayed for entire worship team for impartation in the arts and Pastor Carole had the entire church come forward again for standing with their pastor upon which I declared and prayed over them. Lastly, I prayed for a refreshing on Pastor Herman Lopez and the Holy Spirit sweetly touched him....all the other teams had great reports as well.
Tommorrow, we meet with the President and this has not happened before but God has made a way for a bunch of nobodies who are declaring Jesus Christ and His power.
More updates to come...love you all!
Please continue to pray for Pastor Nolan and the team as they minister in Honduras this week.

I have been reading the greatest book on the topic of Church growth and Kingdom expansion; you don’t have to go to Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble. For most this book lies within the pages and it is next to your bed or on your desk…it’s the book of Acts in the Bible. The book of Acts is about the coming of the Holy Spirit, the birth of the Church and the exploits of those who with that power shared the Gospel message. One of those times was when Philip heard the angel of the Lord speak in Acts 8:26 and he got up and did what he was told. Notice Philip immediately arose and went…he didn’t know why he was going but he knew God said to go. He didn’t know who was going to be there but he did know that God said to go.
Who today is waiting for our obedience to the voice of God? For Philip, a Ethiopian man, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the Queen of the Ethiopians, he had charge of the queen’s entire treasury. Once Philip arrived he saw the need; his appointment was the eunuch, scripture was revealed and made flesh in Philip’s obedience. As we walk out this life of faith…we must listen to the voice of God speaking to us to go where it doesn’t make sense to go, even if it leads us to a dungeon, a lion’s den, a furnace or to a road from Jerusalem to Gaza…because that is where someone’s destiny waits to be awakened. It’s where the Holy Spirit is hovering, ready to be released. It’s where the miraculous happens and God is seen. So I ask the question…who today is waiting for your obedience to the voice of God?

Week 2 – 2011’
Matthew 8:5-13 is the passage that tells the story of the Roman officer who approached Jesus to tell him about his servant who was paralyzed and in great pain. Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.” But the officer said he wasn’t worthy to have Jesus come into his house but instead asked if Jesus would just say the word and it would be done. Jesus remarked that He hadn’t seen this kind of faith anywhere to date like the faith of this officer.
If Jesus was here today we would ask Him with great faith to “just say the word” and everything will change in my situation. Jesus, if you “just say the word” this problem I’m facing would turn around for the better. My point is this: We are the Son’s of God and He has given us His very WORD. So when we speak His Word over every situation and we pray His Word in, it is as though Jesus is speaking right to the problem.
John 15:7-8 (NCV) “If you remain in me and follow my teachings, you can ask anything you want, and it will be given to you. You should produce much fruit and show that you are my followers, which brings glory to my Father.”
There is a great tool made available to us as we walk this life on planet earth bringing the Kingdom of God through the spoken, prayed Word, His “words” over our situations. We are the instrument that brings the message and God gets the glory!!

Week 1 of 2011
As I was reading Romans 6 I was reminded once again of the power that we have as believers in Christ Jesus. Yes, in this chapter there is a strong reminder to not continue in sin; to not allow any part of our body to become a tool used for sinning. “….But instead use your WHOLE body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God.”
There is one verse that stuck out to me and that was in Romans 6:4 which says “…And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now WE ALSO may live NEW LIVES.”
Have you ever thought of what kind of power it would take to raise someone who was dead? It would be the most amazing power in the universe, wouldn’t it?! Yet, that is the power that we have to live our lives by; NEW lives that rely on God’s grace as we step out in faith. Faith taps into this same power so when we see something on earth that isn’t like it is in Heaven we step out as an ambassador from Heaven, another life gets transformed and God gets the glory.
Get into the Word and let the Word get into you; it will remind you of what God will do through you!!
