United Prayer Rising (Uprising) Mindanao was an awesome event where we gathered about 1700 people mostly whom were youth to pray for the Philippines. There were many high profile speakers from all over the world, and I also had the honor of speaking. I was given the opportunity to lay hands on and pray for everyone there. The atmosphere was absolutely charged with passion as the crowd was so hungry for God.

There was a special emphasis on praying for the tribes of Mindanao and several tribal members who attended wore their official tribal costumes. They shared many powerful testimonies of how God is reaching the tribes of Mindanao. During the last night, we were crying out to God for each province by name. When I was given the microphone to my voice was gone! I realized that I prayed so hard for so many people for three days that I literally lost my voice. God is moving in Mindanao!
