Prison Ministry


Ptr. Tony and I spent the morning at the prison
in the town of GMA. I picked up 10 kilos of rice
and Ptr. Tony brought a bag of noodles and some
tracts. They don't feed the prisoners there, so they
have to rely on people to bring them food. We
went there to visit Ptr. Tony's brother-in-law. He
is awaiting his trial. They allowed us to do a Bible
study there, so I talked to them about renewing their
minds from Romans 12:2. After that, I explained the
Gospel to them. All of them raised their hands to
get born again, so Ptr. Tony led them in a prayer.
Then we prayed for the sick. We are going to try to
go back next week and do another Bible study. I
can't wait to hear the testimonies.

Prayer meeting in Purok Sais

The prayer meeting last night was amazing. There
were about 10 people there and the testimony's were
great. The little girl we prayed for last week with the
cyst on her head is completely healed, praise God!
The doctor said it's a miracle. The place where we
held the meeting was at the lamp makers house.
God is prospering his business greatly. The shops at the
Rosario just ordered 20 lamps. He's very excited.
He was just recently born again. God healed him from
psoriasis and gave him the idea for the lamp making business.
We talked about Proverbs 8:33-35 which says that when
we focus on the things of God our lives ore blessed.

Trip to the Northern Provinces

Truck loads of kids came.

I spent the last few days in the northern provinces of
Nueva Ecija and Tarlac with the group from Korea.
At the children's program on Saturday we were expecting
150 kids, about 300 showed up. The Koreans performed
and gave a gospel message several children were
born again, then they played games and passed out toys.
The kids here really touch your heart, it was great to
see them having so much fun.

Sunday Morning

Sunday morning I spoke at Ptr. James church in
Tarlac. The congregation was split with Koreans and
Filipinos so I had 2 translators, that was a lot of
fun. I took a 40min. sermon cut it down to 10 min.
and it took 30 min. to deliver.

JP on the Coconut Plantation

Sunday afternoon we were able to spend some time
on a coconut plantation, relaxing and eating coconuts.

The Church in Teranade

Last year when I visited here, the church was located
under a Mango Tree. This year the congregation meets
in a newly constructed bamboo, open-air building. It
falls apart when the wind blows. We brought a group
of 20 young Koreans to minister to the people there.

Greeting the Congregation

Ptr. Moody and I greet the congregation

The Koreans Perform

The Koreans performed a karate routine put to music.
There wasn't any electricity so instead of using their
sound track, the ones that were not performing sang
the song for them. After that Ptr. Lee gave a gospel message
and several people got born again. The salvation prayer
took a long time being translated from Korean to English
to Tagolag and repeated back. It was great. When the
service was over they passed out toys to the kids.

Miracle Girl

Last year we were able to pray for this girl.
She's now asthma free. Praise Jesus!

Jayson and the kids

Jayson is meeting some new friends while waiting for Jay.

Ministering in Purok Sais

I spent Saturday morning with Ptr. Tony in Purok Sais. We prayed for a girl who had a cyst on her head the size of a golf ball. We are expecting great results. I met a new member of Ptr. Tony's church. His name is Joe. He just started a business making lamps out of recycled materials. I liked the way they looked, so I bought one for Anna-Lisa. We prayed for his business to prosper. We then visited and prayed with most of the people that I know there.
