Great to be on the Radio Again
As many of you know, I was a DJ on Edge Radio Davao for five years until they, unfortunately, lost their frequency. I was heartbroken to lose such a chance to reach the lost. While the HHTN team was here, Gordon asked if he could be on the radio. Thankfully, both the Christian AM stations […]
Healing Miracle in Agdao
Many newsletters ago, I wrote about a young man named Kulot who attends our Street Church in Agdao who was thankful for the garbage because when he recycles it, he has enough money to eat the next day. In May, his father, who is the breadwinner for five children suddenly collapsed and was not able […]
India has come Here to be Saved
God opened the door for some very unique ministry here in Davao City. After praying, the Lord prompted me to contact a long time acquaintance with a big personality and asked him if our team could help him. He is an Asian-Indian missionary who has a ministry to the thousands of Indian nationals to come […]
Up in the Dumps
The Davao City Landfill is in the strangest of places about thirty minutes out of town. Location is everything and this particular place has a “million-dollar” view of remote jungle mountains. I’m not sure who thought such a place would be worthy of a landfill, but it is also home to many poor families who […]
Remote Church in the City
If you know me, you know I would rather preach in a jungle church with no walls than in the most beautiful of cathedrals. While hosting Gordon and the HHTN team, I was grounded from taking long road trips due to my recovery from surgery. To my delight, we made contact with a new pastor […]
Gordon Hofer and his Team
In the midst of the physical storm following the spider bite, my dear friend, Gordon Hofer and his Healing the Heartache of the Nations missions team came from the USA. I hosted them even in my condition and we had an amazing time together. We ministered in the dump, jails, tribal churches, nice churches, and […]
Spider Bite from the Enemy
In June, the Presbyterian Church that I preached in last December in Maragusan, Compostella Valley graciously invited me back. I preached two services there and many were physically healed and filled with the Holy Spirit. During that trip, I somehow acquired a dangerous MRSA (Staph) infection in a wound left by a spider bite just […]
Powerful Youth Camp
Summer youth camps are in full swing and I had the honor to speak at a powerful youth camp in Baganga. My first session I gave a salvation message and almost all of the youth swarmed the altar in repentance. One of the best services I have seen in a long time was that evening […]
Jail Ministry to the Perishing
I was invited to help my friend Pastor Luis with his Jail ministry in the Davao City Jail. I had my good friend Evangelist Barry Myers visiting from Arizona at the time, so we gave him the opportunity to preach to the inmates. About 50 or 60 men gave their lives to Jesus during that […]
Isla Verde Fire (Again)
There was a devastating fire in the community of Isla Verde, Davao City that burned about 200 homes, two churches, and a missionary school in the poorest of the poor areas. Several of the Bagdao tribe lost everything they owned. The worst thing is this happened five years ago in the same place and we […]
Indonesia in January
In late January I have the awesome opportunity to join the United Prayer Rising team in Jakarta, Indonesia for the world prayer meeting called the Global UPR which will be followed by some volunteer work. Indonesia has been hit by two terrible tsunamis in about three months. I am planning to join the disaster […]
Center of Life Christmas Update
Center of Life Children’s ministry which we have freely given use of the Refuge for their home church for years just held their annual Christmas program and celebration. They had about 160 people come to celebrate. They couldn’t fit them all in the Refuge so they moved them by jeepneys to another venue. Of that […]
Baganga Celebration
During my fifth ministry road trip to Baganga this year, I was able to join the church anniversary which doubled as a Christmas Party. Pastor Hazel Puzon was officially installed as the senior pastor during this time as her father and my friend Pastor Proceso Puzon whom I loved dearly, graduated to eternity at 76 […]
Maragusan Awakening
I was invited to be a part of a youth revival and prayer conference in Maragusan, Compostella Valley. This place was once known as a haven for communist rebels. Not sure as what I would find, I was surprised to find thriving churches and tremendous favor with the local government. I spoke on Sunday morning […]
Her Jaw Grew Out Right in Front of Me!
While driving a ministry team between cities, someone told me that a young lady in my vehicle named Lovely needed healing. She had a deformed jaw from a dentist’s mistake. Her jaw was out of place and it restricted her breathing. They explained that a normal windpipe has the passage about the size of two […]
