What happens when God takes a sick baby on the edge of death, a wounded church kid, and a “reluctant” leader—and turns him into a pastor who equips ordinary believers to walk in miracles? In this episode, Pastor Rafa Assis from Brazil (with translator Jarvis) shares his powerful story: healed as a newborn, burning for Jesus as a child, deeply hurt by church, then radically re-encountering God through prophetic encounters, seminary, and the supernatural move of the Holy Spirit.
Rafa talks about being mentored in a revival culture, traveling with Randy Clark and Global Awakening, planting and pastoring Pier 49 church in Rio, and watching God use “unlikely” people to see cancers, strokes, arthritis, autism, and more healed. He and John also dive into what God is doing in Brazil right now, how the Father is healing issues of spiritual fatherhood, and why this is a season for hidden, ordinary believers to step into identity and power. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, disqualified, or “too unlikely” to be used by God—this conversation is an invitation.
