Toronto Ablaze Report 1
April 29, 2004,
Canada Ablaze Forerunner
Teams from many nations have returned to the City that birthed the Toronto Blessing in 1994. They have told us that they were powerfully touched by the Spirit of God here at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. They have come to give something back to the Kingdom Of God in Canada.
The teams have traveled to Toronto from all over the globe. Many have come from as far away as Europe, Asia, North and South America, and even Australia. Another team of 17 from Japan came to preach the Gospel in the streets. TACF has opened up their facilities to Fresh Fire Ministries to sponsor the first meetings of Canada Ablaze. Todd Bentley and his staff are extremely thankful to the TACF staff, and the hundreds of volunteers.
Several accept Jesus at alter after hearing Todd's testimony.

There have been countless other salvations, healings and miracles that are yet to be reported by the hundreds of Canada Ablaze Volunteers from all over the world. Every Day they are going into the streets of Toronto to minister to the lost.
Shaking The Streets Of Toronto For Jesus Christ
Peter Byers, Charlie Robinson, and Greg Castro have been training the teams and equipping them to hit the bricks in the city to minister in the power and love of Jesus. The teams are already reporting incredible demonstrations of the power and saving grace of the Lord Jesus here in Toronto. Salvations, miracles, signs and wonders are in abundance in the marketplace.
Pat King is traveling with the teams to record the action with her film crew from Extreme Prophetic Television. They have captured many being impacted by the heart of the Father for an upcoming segment of her new program. Pat has filmed a segment with Todd Bentley about his vision for Canada Ablaze for an upcoming program on the Miracle Channel
A team led by Fresh Fire Associate Evangelist Greg Castro took a team to Dawlish Avenue in downtown Toronto. There the Other Wise Music team ministered as people from all over North America walked the streets near the Mission inviting the homeless, prostitutes and drug addicts to come and get some free food and soda.
After the feeding one of the outreach team preached a brief message and asked the people to "bring me a deaf person and Jesus will confirm the word that I tell as the truth. I guarantee that a deaf person will hear right now"! A homeless woman named Pat came forward and as she received prayer her deaf right ear "popped open". There was then a call for those who wanted Jesus in their lives and several were saved as a result of this demonstration of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Todd Bentley Launches Canada Ablaze
Wednesday night the first Canada Ablaze Crusade was officially opened. Todd Bentley cast the vision for shaking Canada in the next 18 months with Crusade meetings like he holds in Africa.
Pat King Came to the platform and shared a vision that she had over 12 years ago in which she saw a map of the nation of Canada with small fires burning everywhere within it. She said "I saw Canada ablaze over a decade ago"!
Todd then began to minister in the word of knowledge, and the meeting was treated like an overseas crusade meeting. The power of God was evident to all present.
Miracles Follow The Preaching Of The Gospel
After Todd's vision and a brief message there was a release of many healings and miracles. One woman, Lee, had been bound in a wheel chair for over 20 years. During a release of a healing wave she received a word of knowledge for "new lungs". Lee had parts of both lungs removed and suffered for 46 years with breathing disorders. After prayer she could breath "better than I could for over 20 years", and walked her wheel chair back to her seat.
Another woman who had been deaf in her right ear for 46 years began to feel a "whooshing" in her bad ear during the healing wave. She had a tumor in her inner ear canal as an 18 month old baby. When the doctors removed the tumor they also removed parts of her inner ear, and told her it was "medically impossible" for her to ever hear in that ear. After she was prayed for she began to hear clearly from her formally dear ear.
There were many other miracles and healings during the first two nights of the Canada Ablaze Crusade. One woman came forward and testified through tears that her deformed ankles were healed during the healing wave. Her ankles had been turned in at about a 45 degree for 7 years from crippling arthritis. She told the crowd that she "felt" the power of God fill her and her ankles just "straitened out".
Another woman testified that when Todd called out a word of knowledge during the healing wave for "breast cancer" and "lumps in the breast". She testified that when Todd called this out he looked strait at me and I felt the fire of God on the lumps. I went into the bathroom to check the lumps and they had turned soft, and nearly gone. The next day the lumps were gone.
There were dozens of other healings and miracles in the evening services. In the prayer lines team members reported 8 deaf ears open, and many other healings and miracles.
Todd Takes The Gospel To Streets
Todd took the entire team of hundreds to Dundas Square where Fresh Fire had a open air crusade right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Todd preached a short message and then gave an alter call. Many were saved after this and the team continued to stay in the area and minister in the square for the rest of the day.
They ministered one on one and to the public from the platform. Peter Byers spoke briefly telling the crowd of hundreds just what was going on. A worship team ministered through song for the rest of the evening.
Fresh Fire Associate evangelist took the platform and began to preach a brief message and share his testimony of addiction and deliverance. He told the crowd that Jesus would confirm the word he was telling them and challenged the crowd, that had grown to several hundred to bring a deaf person to the platform.
He told the crowd that if Jesus did not open the first deaf persons ears that come to the stage he would renounce Christ and would no longer be a Christian. Soon a man with a totally deaf left ear came up and he was immediately healed! He confirmed his healing and after an alter call several more received Jesus as Lord and savior. In all the teams led over 120 to the Lord in the square that day.
More "Street Stories" From Toronto Ablaze
If you would like to hear more street stories from Toronto Ablaze read on below!
Iranians Saved!
"I could not believe what you were doing on the platform! I thought to myself will anyone answer an alter call in down town Toronto? When you called for the unsaved to receive Jesus hands went up every where! I saw a couple to my right and I went to them and asked them, Did you just ask Jesus into your heart? They said they did! They had just come from Iran and then said can you help us to find a church. It blew my mind"!
Blind Eye Opens
Another team was positioned in Dundas Square. As an older woman walked by the leader said, "Check her out her left eye is blind"! She was indeed blind in that eye, and when the team asked to pray for her she gladly accepted the prayer! To her astonishment she began to see perfectly, and then received Jesus as Lord and Savior!
Years of Back Pain Healed
Another woman was asked if she needed prayer for anything? She told the team that she had been in constant back pain for decades. She was a tourist form Britain. When they asked her if she would be able to tell if there was a difference she said that she was in extreme pain! They laid hands upon her and in the name of Jesus prayed for her sciatic nerve and lower back.
When she checked the pain was totally gone after decades! She began to cry then she accepted Jesus as Savior. In addition to this her mother also received prayer and also gave her heart to Jesus right on the streets of Toronto! Praise God, we give you all the glory!
