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 above my knee.

To make a long story short, MRSA can be life-threatening and over the course of weeks, I needed to have several tests, tons of antibiotics and medicine, painful cleanings, and finally an IV sedated surgery to close the wound. Surgery is never fun anywhere in the world, especially in an emerging nation. I had to walk with a cane for about a month after the surgery. I’m currently walking, and stretching every day until my full mobility comes back. Overall, I’m so thankful to God to be MRSA-free and getting better every day!

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 to Faith Tabernacle Church, and Sunday evening to a youth revival. Many young people rushed to the altar for salvation and repentance. The next day I was invited to meet the mayor and vice-mayor and they asked me to pray for them! I was able to openly and boldly declare blessings over them in the Name of Jesus.

In the morning and afternoon I was able to join and support our dear friends from Global Impact as they gave their anti-human trafficking school assemblies in the elementary school and high school where the Gospel was also preached in the schools! That night, I spoke in a Presbyterian Church and I gave an altar call where the Holy Spirit moved powerfully. Almost everyone was slain in the Holy Spirit and stayed in the altar for a long time after that. God is moving in Mindanao. Hallelujah!
