Formerly Crippled Boy Can Now Walk!

September 22, 2018 by

In my last newsletter, I reported that several people were healed while ministering in Polomolok. When I wrote my last newsletter, I did not report that during the ministry time, I prayed for a little boy named Reuben who could not walk. He was born prematurely and had not developed the ability to walk even though he was three years old. When his parents handed him to me my heart broke for him. He looked at me and cried in anguish with sad eyes because he could not play with the other children like a normal little boy.

When I prayed for him one of his feet straightened a little bit, but he did not walk well immediately. He took about seven steps and fell down. This bothered me– a lot. I left that church with a bittersweet feeling in my heart. I felt happy for all the other people who were healed, but left a piece of my heart broken there with Reuben. I continued to pray for his healing every day for almost a month. Right before I left for the Indian Ocean, and after my ordeal with the rebels, his family contacted me and sent me pictures showing he is finally standing and walking— and playing with other kids! The parents said the healing started in that service in Polomolok!
Hallelujah!

Running from Communist Rebels

September 22, 2018 by

While doing ministry in Davao Oriental, I stopped to meet with my pastor friend who is 76 years old at his family farm on the main highway. Just after we met with each other, one of his family members came running towards us, gripped in terror screaming unintelligible words at us. We finally deciphered that she was saying the NPA (communist rebels) were coming over the ridge and she wanted us to run! Rebels here are known for kidnapping foreigners for ransom. I quickly turned my SUV around and lined it up to go in the opposite direction. Then we hurriedly got my pastor friend into the back of my vehicle as his two daughters tumbled inside after him with their shoes flying everywhere. I waited for a few seconds for his son and son’s wife (the women who was screaming) to get inside, but they weren’t coming. I then felt a strong urgency that I couldn’t delay another second, so I left. We raced for their home town about two hours away.

On the way there, I was low on gas and made a bad decision to buy some unleaded gasoline for my old Ford. Unfortunately, the gas attendant put diesel in my tank in the confusion. Unlike America, you are not allowed to touch the gas pump at gas stations. I normally watch the attendants closely, but felt it was wise to stay behind my tinted windows this time. After I delivered the pastor and his family home safely, I started on another route home. My vehicle started running terribly after that, and I had no idea why. About three hours after the close call with the rebels, I received a call from the pastor’s family saying just a few seconds after we fled, five men with guns took their brother hostage, robbed him of everything (including his clothes).

They also set up a false checkpoint (ambush) on the highway and shot and wounded a policeman. The policeman and his partner drove off a cliff to escape! The Army finally came and ran off the estimated 300 rebels, and our friend was released safely. Thank God I was protected, and the pastor and his daughters were spared too! After that, It took me two days to limp my diesel-infested SUV home. It overheated and blew the radiator hose off twice, and I fixed it myself with my tools and water from the jungle river. Unfortunately, my SUV still needs a lot more expensive repairs now and it really is quite disrupting to my traveling ministry. However, I am most thankful to be alive. Praise God!

(A Lot) More Bibles for Baganga

July 24, 2018 by

The Bible distribution trip to Baganga opened up an incredible new partnership with Bible League Philippines. After buying 400 Bibles from them, I was able to meet with their national director. He told me that if I can gather forty churches in a town or city, they will donate 1,500 Bibles to divide equally among the churches. In one or two days I am returning with him to Baganga with 1,500 Bibles to distribute among the unified pastors. Not only does this provide much-needed Bibles to the churches, but it promotes unity among the churches. Faith Tabernacle (the church we helped rebuild after Typhoon Pablo) will host this gathering of churches and Bible distribution. It is amazing how God maps out these divine partnerships all over the Philippines. These Bibles are in the local Cebuano language which is widely used in Mindanao and is the most widely spoken dialect in this region.

Miraculous Healings in Polomolok

July 24, 2018 by

I recently preached in Polomolok, South Cotobato at Destiny Church that if you are wildly obedient to God, you will see wild miracles. We saw several notable healings. On lady’s eyesight instantly cleared up as she was healed of cataracts. Another lady came to church with intense pain in her shoulders that left her as I prayed for her. The next day her daughter contacted me to thank God that the pain never came back. Praise God! These wonderful miracles are a result of your partnership with us. Thank you for your support.

Bibles for Prisoners

July 24, 2018 by

Through a series of incredible divine appointments and provision, I was able to take 350 Bibles to Baganga and ended up preaching a salvation message to the general population in the prison and all of them prayed with me to receive Jesus! A representative from each cell block was able to carry a stack of Bibles back to the other inmates.

Prison life is the Philippines very harsh and much more difficult than in the USA. Most of you would be shocked at their conditions. I was also able to preach to and give Bibles to hundreds of former drug users enrolled in a rehab program. When I asked them over 90% of them said it was the first Bible they have ever owned.

I drove the long road trip alone six hours each way safely, but burned out my wheel bearings again on my Ford, but it was totally worth it. Hallelujah!

Missions Trip the Indian Ocean in August

I am always honored to work with him and serve God establishing Bible training centers in remote places. We are scheduled to go to the Seychelles, Reunion Island, and Mauritius in August 2018. They are all surrounding the island of Madagascar near Africa. Please financially support me as I go to disciple the nations.

Musician’s Hour at the Refuge

July 3, 2018 by

With the Refuge, we have a unique opportunity to reach the subculture of the underground music of the youth. We recently hosted Musician’s Hour, which is a music night for professional musicians to come together and fellowship and hear about Jesus. Many of these paid musicians are playing in nightclubs and bars, and with our ministry we are able to be a life line to these bands that would normally never be accepted in a traditional church. We encourage them to play their loud music and showcase their talents to each other, but we unashamedly preach the Word of God and the Gospel to them.

Our God Reigns Youth Camp

July 3, 2018 by

The our God Reigns youth camp was amazing. I was given the opportunity to speak to about 200 youth and at the ministry time, the Glory of God came in a mighty way. The young people were vocally crying out to God in hunger for more of Him. When I pray for them, they fell down in waves under God’s power. I have rarely seen this amount of power manifested like this. It was so indescribable. Praise God!

UPrising Philippines 2017

October 3, 2017 by

After months of preparation and countless miles of traveling promoting it, we held UPrising Philippines. It was everything we hoped for and more. Thousands of people came from all over the Philippines to pray for awakening and revival. We prayed with intense fervency and God’s glory came down as believers from many various denominations came together in unity.

During the event, I served in every way possible. It was all worth it as God showed up in His Glory. It seemed like just about every person I prayed for would end up touched by the Holy Spirit and falling to the ground. I was always catching people or trying to hold them up as I prayed for them. It was glorious.

As we are under martial law we had several soldiers guarding the event. One particular moment I passed by the outdoor registration table when one young lady asked me to pray for her. I prayed for her and she received the joy of the Holy Spirit and could not contain her laughter. She started to fall down on the concrete and I held her up while her friends grabbed a white plastic chair for me to set her down in while she was being touched. The next thing I was praying for the whole registration team and God touched all of them and they were all dropping under the power of the Holy Spirit while two soldiers watched.

We asked if we could pray for the soldier nearest to us, but was reluctant to receive prayer as he was afraid his weapon would discharge if he fell down. The other soldier, eager to see what would happen, offered to hold his M-16 while he received prayer. The whole registration team helped me prayed for him as God touched him and he also started to fall so we sat him in a chair. After he was done, the other soldier traded places with him, handed over his weapon and ammunition belt to his partner and had a similar touch from God! These were soldiers giving up their weapons to receive from the Holy Spirit during martial law! They were so hungry for God they risked getting in trouble to get touched by Him!

God really moved in the hearts of everyone during UPrising! Ever since UPrising I have seen a personal increase in healing miracles in our ministry. God responds to fervent, unified prayer!
