Dear Bishop Ismael Arellano,
Apostolic Assembly,
and JAM Partners,
We greet you in the Name of Jesus Christ! What a wonderful crusade we had! God was so good and the Apostolic Church of the Dominican Republic is rejoicing for one of the greatest breakthroughs in their countries history. Many were healed and many received the Holy Ghost!
As most of you know, Jason Abel Ministries makes crusade trips to the country of Ethiopia . And our most recent trip was taped and produced into a DVD video. The last night of this crusade in the Dominican, our team was impressed to show this video during the service. As we showed this video, the people just connected to the Ethiopian people as they watched them receive the Holy Ghost on the screen. The Dominican people have African heritage and I believe that no one could appreciate this video more than the Dominican people. This was a great blessing for them because they are learning how to express themselves to God. When they saw the Ethiopians dancing, shouting, and praising God, the Dominicans connected to that form of worship. It was so powerful.
On Thursday, we arrived into Santo Domingo and held our prayer and planning session before the first night of faith. God confirmed through our team that there would be a great breakthrough in this country and that many would be saved! Pastor Mizael Montanez preached that night, "Jesus Have Mercy On Me." After the message, an awesome atmosphere of repentance came over the crowd. That first night several were healed and over 40 received the Holy Ghost for the first time! Hallelujah!
The next morning, Pastor A.F. Aguilar, Bishop Almarez (supervisor of the Dominican), Pastor Joe Rodriguez, and team member Martin Vargas did a live interview on cable television. Pastor Aguilar felt to have Bro. Vargas give his personal testimony of how God healed his marriage. Within moments, they had several calls come in asking for prayer for marriages. They prayed for several people over the air! God is exposing this gospel to thousands. The door of faith is open!
On Friday night, Pastor A.F. Aguilar preached, "Speak the Word of Faith." Many came this night believing for healing and miracles. Pastor Aguilar was impressed to pray for a man who had a hernia. He had a brace on his back and was in pain. He told us that he could not even touch his toes. Pastor Aguilar sat him in a chair and lifted his legs to discover that one of this man’s legs was longer than the other. Before our eyes, this man’s shorter leg grew out and instantaneously the man was healed from his pain! Thank you Jesus! He removed the brace and began to do what he could not do before, touch his toes! That man decided to be baptized in Jesus Name!
Pastor Aguilar asked me to speak the Word of Faith over the mass of people. After the Word of Faith many came testifying that they were instantly healed. A few people were healed from cancer. Several were healed from pain in different areas of their body. One woman came and testified that she had a ball on her knee that cause her great pain, but that ball disappeared during the Word of Faith! Another woman was healed from arthritis and an elderly woman no longer needed the aid of a cane to walk. Pastor Rodriguez prayed for a little 2 year old boy who had problems stretching his legs. His mother told us that he had never stood up before because of a muscle disorder. In faith, Pastor Rodriguez began to massage this little boy’s legs. Before the service was over the little boy stood up for the first time and then walked out of the auditorium. It was so precious seeing this mother and son holding hands and taking a stroll down the streets of Santo Domingo .
The last night, the fire of the Holy Ghost fell during a video showing of the Ethiopian Crusade we conducted earlier in the year. Pastor Rodriguez preached a wonderful message of hope entitled, "Jesus Your Savior" and called everybody to repentance. Under the anointing he called all the pastors into a prayer circle and the people to surround them. It was a beautiful sight. This call to repentance was led of the Holy Ghost. Pastor Rodriguez led the people right to the cross of Jesus! As we all knelt in prayer, the power of the blood of Jesus swept through the auditorium. The sound of people crying out to God was like ocean crescendos of wave after wave. After this time of repentance, I instructed the people in the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. The people lifted their hands and I released the Word of Faith and more than 100 received the gift of the Holy Ghost speaking with other tongues for the first time! More than 50 came forward to be baptized in Jesus Name! Praise Jesus!
This was a wonderful crusade and the Dominican people were so blessed. Continue to keep the Dominican Republic in your prayers. This nation is preparing for a great harvest of souls!
Thank you to all our partners for your support! You have made these crusades a great success. You have also opened the doors for many to receive the Gospel and many have accepted Jesus as their personal Savior. We love you all and we pray the blessings of God upon you and your family!
To Jesus be all the Glory,

Thank you to our JAM Partners for making this crusade possible. Thank you for your burden to reach the world with the Gospel.
Faith has convinced us (and experience has proven) that if we do our part, God will pour out His Spirit, filling not just hundreds, but thousands of lost people with the Holy Ghost, which will lead them to water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus! Dare to believe with us that we are going to see the greatest move of God that we have ever seen. As we agree, touching heaven, we will see the handiwork of God at its finest.
