You said that you were going to start, that we should probably start this over. So we are Charles and Stacey Robinette, and we have two daughters, alia turning 19 and Brianna is 16. So we began in Germany as young teenagers in 1994. And the Lord birthed a burden in us through exposure and we've began to serve in the Landstuhl church there in Germany. It was a military work, and then it led us to Belgium, switzerland, austria, liechtenstein and Germany, and now we are serving as international evangelists through Global Missions.

Our new appointment, as my wife said, as international evangelist has really opened up a door for us to just equip and train and see great harvest globally. And some of those great moments of harvest in the last year, or one of them, was in the nation of Brazil, which is a really cool experience. We had 186 team members that went with us from many places around the world, but the bulk of the team came from North America, and we went to the city of Manaus, where their leaders had cast a vision for having this unprecedented outpouring of the spirit, and it was really neat. They had boats that came all the way down to Amazon. One boat alone had 2,000 people on it, which is a real, just as you can imagine, a great undertaking for the national church. They rented a stadium that seated somewhere around 45,000 people. We had well over 30,000 people in the stadium. I think the actual report was 38,000. That was in the stadium. Over 12,000 were filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost. Many, many people were miraculously healed. I think the report that the National Church sent was somewhere around 6,000 testimonies of miracles. One of the greatest victories was when we gave the call to be baptized in Jesus name and the people came running. There's videos all over the internet of them literally running to be baptized in Jesus name. But there were so many thousands of people that wanted to be baptized in Jesus name that as they came running, they literally overtook the baptistries, and even though we had a good administrative plan with the national church for taking down names of the baptisms, they were literally jumping in the baptistries four and five and six at a time.

Speaker 2: 3:44

But some of the other great things that happened on that crusade was the mass amount of young people that showed up to be a part of that team. They were so hungry to have that kingdom exposure to the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, to have a kingdom exposure to the gifts of the Spirit, to have the opportunity to have their faith enlarged and their vision expanded for what God could do in the last hour of the church. But we had enough that we had to organize separate team meetings for the young people where they could get together, have somebody minister to them, somebody talk to them about kingdom work at their age, and so it was a unique experience for us to have this. I would say close to 40 of our team members were within the hyphen in teenage. So to have that many young people who were desperate and hungry to be used of the Lord show up and say show us what we can do and show us how to do it, to me that's the biggest kingdom victory. Not that you have a crusade where 12,000 get the Holy Ghost, but that you have 186 people who go home and say not only can we see it globally, but we can see it locally. Not only can you know the brother Sladens and the Brother Walmers do this kind of stuff, but we can do it too. And so I think that's the big picture is the growing of a team where we can equip millions to reach billions.

Speaker 2: 5:14

I think there's no substitute for exposure in the kingdom of God, and sometimes in the American culture we think we know everything and we actually think we have everything, and we actually think we have everything and we think that we are the gift to everything. We are blessed. We do know a lot, we do have a lot to offer. These are tremendous facts that should not be dismissed, but there are places of kingdom exposure that we are limited in, and I think if the North American church could realize that, when it comes to the kingdom of God. We have so much more to learn and there's so much opportunity to have that exposure and that if we would invest in the opportunity of exposure, it would broaden our ability to instigate greater revival globally. And so one of the passions that we have is that more people would be a part of Global Harvest Crusades, international evangelism efforts globally. Because getting around in that intimate connection with apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers and getting in that, setting out of your comfort zone, out of your know and out of your knowledge, and getting amongst people that are maybe doing things you've never done before and possibly seeing things you've never seen before, and getting in that new environment where you can be stretched and enlarged and increased and you can see things from a kingdom perspective I think that is the big picture for the North American church is there's no substitute for exposure for everybody.

Speaker 2: 6:59

You've got to get around people who are doing things you've never done in order to be stretched and believe that you can do it as well.

Speaker 2: 7:07

And I personally believe God wants all of us to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, and I do believe that God wants all of us to be used in the gifts of the Spirit so that the church not us, but the church can be enlarged and increased and multiplied. And so I would love to extend an invitation to every missionary, every pastor, every saint, every believer, however you want to say it, come on, join a Global Harvest Crusade, be a part of it, be a part of the training, and maybe that's something that they're not even aware of or informed about, but the crusade, the harvest, is just the icing on the cake. The greatest part of a crusade is the training that takes place days before, when we're together as a team and we're praying together and we're studying together and we're growing together and we're hearing and receiving impartation and equipping. That's the greatest part of a crusade, where God equips us to do something locally that we've seen globally.
