We, Houston Master's Commission, just want to thank Carlos and Norma for allowing us the privilege and opportunity to minister on foreign soil. Although we were stretched and pulled, we all walked away different. It's an honor to know that when you make yourself an available vessel, God will work through you. All the work and preparation is worth it when you see the lives of the people changed for eternity. Thank you both for giving us the opportunity to make a difference. We love you. Houston Master's Commission

Ministering with Pastor Carlos and Norma in France was an amazing experience. Not only did we get to see beautiful sights, or hundreds of people getting touched by God, but we the team were also ministered to. Pastor Carlos' messages blessed my spirit, but what blessed me so much more was seeing the faces of the youth that walked down to the front to give their lives to Jesus. The young people couldn't understand anything I prayed over them except what was translated by God, because they speak Spanish and French and I only speak English.

Beyond that they were blessed by God, and everyone could see it all over their faces!

Having the opportunity to minister in different countries was more than just a life changing experience, it was the first step to fulfilling my dreams. The services in Paris were incredible! God never failed to show us His glory. I know that I made relationships that will last a lifetime, and although I was there to give of myself and be a blessing, my life was touched and blessed beyond what I expected. The Lord never ceases to amaze me! Amber Perkins

Paris was amazing. From the time we arrived to the moment we left the people welcomed us with open arms. It was an honor and a great privilege to be part of the services and minister to the people. Seeing the altars full every night with people crying out for more of God made the entire trip worth while. I know that lives were challenged and changed forever, including mine. It's amazing how we went to be a blessing and each one of us walked away blessed and forever changed. Amanda Sebren

France was an awesome ministry trip. We were not only able to minister to the church, but tto the families that opened up their homes to us as well. Being able to spend personal time with the people was the best time for me. I left France with a connection with the people. MARKETA SMITH

God is bringing a new hunger and passion to His people in France, and I was honored to be a part of the beginning stages. Our services were annointed and the spirit of God moved. The people would be so lost in the presence of God that time was never an issue. You saw their desire to be radical for Jesus as Mr.Ortiz challenged them. The word says "Faith without actions is dead", so they took that challenge as we all went to the movie theater to witness to people as they came out of "The Passion of Christ".

I myself was blessed and challenged with the price that I was willing to pay to answer the call. The people were great, and I can say that I left part of my heart with them. This is the time for Paris!

One of the things that really stuck out to me in the services in France was the worship. I was blessed and challenged at the same time.Just the openess of the peoples hearts taught me a lot. The ministry was incredible, and I know that everyone walked away changed forever. SCOTT JANDIK

When I picture a missions trip I would think jungle small boats and tribes. My missions trip to France was nothing of the sort, but appartment buildings and train stations filled with life. It was nothing like a village, but the only comparison was the cry of pain that was seen on their faces. Christ allowed me and the team to minister in a church, but through His Spirit He changed the lives and the cries of the people who heard the message. I will allways be blessed by the memories of taking part in the Great Commission.

I went to France with a great expectancy of what God was going to do. At first when I arrived I was a little disappointed that I could not communicate with them as well as I would have liked.I could not speak any French, and my Spanish needed quite a bit of work. When it came time to minister and pray for them however, the Holy Spirit did what I could not. God spoke to those people with words that I could never have thought up. It was not me, but God speaking His words through my voice.

With God there is no language barrier. I am grateful to have had a hand in what God is doing in this generation.

God has shown Himself faithful so many times on this trip. Although I don’t speak any French, and understand very little Spanish the Holy Spirit has never failed to speak when it comes time to minister.

It is not my words, but His words through my voice. It doesn’t matter what language I speak, there is no language barrier when it comes to the Spirit of God.
