Greetings from Mandaluyong City, Philippines! God is moving with increasing intensity, much like the birth pains described in Scripture – growing more intense as we eagerly anticipate what God is about to accomplish.
On August 24, we held our ONE80 Jam Concert outside the church. Time and again, we’ve seen that the methods God used in the past remain effective today. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully that night, resulting in 45 souls surrendering their lives to Christ. Through music and preaching, many others heard the life-transforming message of the Gospel.
On October 26, we cast our nets once more with a Halloween full-length Drama presentation. This thought-provoking performance spoke directly to today’s generation, highlighting the inner struggles and battles that often lead to depression and the alarming rise in suicides. As the Gospel was proclaimed, it brought a light of hope to a generation feeling overwhelmed by darkness. The event drew an attendance of over 353 people, with at least 53 individuals choosing to give their lives to Christ.
The highlight of this report is undoubtedly our Bible Conference held from November 4 - 8 which is marked by a powerful stirring in the hearts of the attendees, both corporately and individually. On Monday night, Pastor Boyet delivered a compelling message on the good seed, the Lord Jesus Christ who offered Himself, and died to save us, and that the HARVEST is now ready and plentiful because of His sacrifice. He challenged us to do likewise—to offer ourselves, if we want to be fruitful.
Our main speaker, Pastor Daryl Elliott, spoke about the higher calling from God. This year’s conference theme, “HARVEST,” underscores everything we do.
On the final night, 14 couples were announced to be sent out into the harvest field – one to Japan, seven to pioneer 32 and seven others to take over churches. We praise God for these dedicated men and women who have answered His higher calling.
Please remember us in your prayers. God bless.
