I Went to Jail in the Philippines

This month, God opened an awesome door of ministry to me. My friend, Pastor Andy, invited me to speak to the leaders of a church in the local Davao City Jail. I was honored to be able to enter the facility and walk through the jail full of men in orange T-shirts.

I spoke to the leaders on faith. The pastor of the church has been in the jail for four years awaiting his robbery trial. Two of his main leaders are serving six years for drug abuse and are still awaiting their trial. The youngest inmate there, Mark, told me he regularly borrows a radio to listen to Edge Radio.

There are three religious places of worship there: a Catholic Church, a mosque, and the born-again Christian church. Until recently, the Christian church had no roof. Thankfully, they just finished the roof the week before I arrived. They were so happy to have a foreigner visit them and were respectful and attentive as I spoke through an interpreter. They invited me to come back as soon as I can.

Edge Radio Update June 2011

I am having a great time with my show on Edge Radio.  I host “The Cutting Edge Show” Saturdays 8pm to 10pm. The past few weeks on my show have been amazing.

We had our famous “End of the World Show” on May 21st where I boldly predicted in advance that the rapture of the church would not happen that day. However, I prayed for everyone to be saved and ready in case it happens tomorrow because Jesus will come like a thief in the night with no warning.

Then two weeks ago, I had guest Michael Gahan of Global Impact share his amazing testimony of his past life as a drug dealer and drug user who overdosed on drugs 10 times and coded two times on the operating table during an emergency surgery after a car accident. He shared how he was transformed by becoming born again and is now living a radical life for Jesus.

We had record feedback from our shows those weeks and are thankful for the lives that are being touched weekly through Edge Radio.
