Ministry in the USA

After focusing on resting, visiting family and friends, and receiving ministry for the first part of our USA trip, we have started ministering again.

Just this week, we spoke to the Ascent Singles Ministry at Phoenix First Assembly of God under Pastor Jim Black. We received lots of great feedback that many people were encouraged in their faith.

We also recently spoke to the youth group of Living Waters church in Prescott, AZ with good results. The youth really responded to us well and listened to our message attentively. To speak to such an excellent group really gives me hope that the youth of the USA still have great potential in the Lord.

We are also looking forward to speaking at the Bridge Church in Carson City, Nevada on October 7, 2012. Please keep that date in prayer as we are expecting God to do wonderful things there.

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.
