Holy Spirit Shows Up in Portland’s ChinaTown

“We decided to go to Chinatown in Portland to share the Gospel, and we came to this street with a large crowd of people. We found out the crowd was there because there was a kitchen feeding the homeless on that street. So we began to share Jesus and pray for people. Everywhere we turned, people were getting touched by the Holy Spirit! One of the first people I talked to was Gregory. I asked him if he had any pain in his body, and he said yes, but when I offered to pray for him, he said no. He said he didn’t like men touching him. It seemed kind of weird to me, but I said ok and turned to a lady who was by him and asked if she had any pain. Her name was Morgan, and she said she had back pain. So we laid hands on her back and prayed, and all the pain left her body! When Gregory saw Morgan get healed, he exclaimed, “Wait, it happens like that?!” I said, “Yes!” and he replied, “Well, come over here and pray for my knees!” So I had my friend Cody who I was with, lay hands on his knees, and I left and started talking to another guy that was highlighted to me, whose name was Nelly. I started sharing Jesus with him, and he said he believed in Jesus, so I prayed for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit filled him! He felt the power of God go through his body and couldn’t move. He was stuck under the Presence of God! He looked at me a bit confused, and I just said, “That’s Jesus! He loves you.” So we had a powerful time just flowing with the Holy Spirit.”
