This story is about Rene Herrera, who goes by the name Bernardo in Honduras. In January 2013 our team went into the prison in Olanchito to do "Eye Doctor in a Box" on a Thursday morning. We had a station where someone would test the prisoner eyes, the next station would fit them with glasses then they would come to me for prayer. Bernardo, who I didn't know was my interpreter. I would pray for each person asking if they had received Jesus Christ as Lord. I would have each prisoner confess Jesus Christ as the Lord of their life and that his blood cleanses them from all their sins. At this same time I felt a strong anointing of the Holy Spirit to pray for salvation and also prophesy over them. These words were going from me and into Bernardo then into the guards and prisoners. This was a glorious time!
Later I found out later that Bernardo was an illegal living in Oregon, was caught up with and placed into prison. He was then sent to Honduras where he was imprisoned there. He had just gotten out of prison and his mother asked him to be our interpreter, where he agreed to this. He was a trained Muslim who also left a daughter in Oregon. He told me later that every time he led someone to receive Jesus Christ in the prison he himself was also receiving Jesus. Bernardo also interpreted for the pastor training for 2 ½ days, where the word of the Lord went into him in a powerful way. When we left I gave him my jacket which was to him a memorial to his salvation experience.
In January 2014 as we went down he again was our interpreter, he had joined Dario in the ministry there leading XMA teams up into the mountains to show the Jesus film. He has a desire to attend Bible school and become a pastor. It was good being with him and seeing the grace of God at work in his life.
