“Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”
My wife and came back to the Philippines for vacation in 2013. We spent 3 days in Luzon in the area of Agoo and La Union. Then we went to Mindanao and stayed for the remaining 8 days. We had no plans for ministry, just relax, visit family and see the sights! In our 8 days in Mindanao so many things happened! God things! We were on the beach and I (and the Holy Spirit) preached the gospel. The amazing thing happened. We immediately had 11 people to baptize! Hallelujah! Even now tears come to my eyes and joy to my heart! One of the amazing things 5 were Mormons! Now that is a miracle! Their mouths were wide open as I preached the true gospel, like they had never heard it before! All glory and honor to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! We are ordinary people walking with an extraordinary God!
This is one of the 11! This is Gadoy and 5 years later he still loves the Lord!
Now our story goes to more current times as we are no longer on vacation, but here on assignment by God! One day I want to write on how God made it clear to us, this is where He wants us!
Last year we went into an almost strictly Muslim area. It is actually impossible to own land in this area for a Christian and not recommended and even sometimes illegal for a westerner to venture here! It is my belief that the number one front line defense against radical Islam is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We went to a place called the SND (Sultan Naga Dimaporo). It was actually illegal at this time to go, but it was during this time God told us to go. He is the boss! I am trying to stick to the subject or focus of water baptism. There are so many other stories and adventures I would love to share from this trip! Never a dull moment serving Jesus!
We preached the Gospel right in front of a Mosque. We baptized 31 here and my wife’s LDS aunt. Praise Jesus!
Ordinary people walking with an extraordinary God!
Worshipping God after the baptism! Hallelujah!
We have had the pleasure of baptizing many! Tens of thousands have come to Christ. Many delivered and healed by that Name!
Please check out a few related articles. We give all we have to the Gospel and the poor! Bibles, food, clothing. “Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these my brethren, you did it unto me.” Doing it out of love for Jesus!
Thank you and God bless!

“ORDINARY PEOPLE WALKING WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY GOD!”
Great to see you out there baptizing in the name of Jesus...
It is one of life’s pleasures brother!
This is definitely good news. May I know where in Mindanao you are doing your ministry?
Near Tangub! One day I hope to come to Davao! Have you heard the song “Making a Difference”.?
Run to the altar to catch the fire and stand in the gap between the living and the dead
Give us a heart of compassion to a world without vision....
I see you do worship songs! Following you!
Cool, let me know if you do come. Not yet, but ill try to look it up.
Yes, I am currently one of the heads for our youth worship team here in our church. God bless!
We want to minister in all of the Philippines and Eastern Asia!
God bless bro!
awesome! Go for it! ill make sure to tune in to your steemit posts! I think the cool thing about steemit is we can now start raising mission support through updates for ministries here and people can support without really taking any physical money out of their pockets. Let's hope steem price goes well as well.
Amen Brother! Thank you for you comments! I hope to see you around. God bless!
wow Praise the Lord brother...
All for Jesus brother!
Praise God! He acts when we believe. And by His grace, we obey by stepping out in that faith.
Amen brother! Our first ministry is prayer! Ministry to the Heavenly Father. Everything good and eternal and world changing comes from that intimacy with Him. Then we have direction, then our love is not fake, then we go with His blessing and demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power. I would have never ventured into some of thee places without knowing for sure it was His plan.
God bless brother! I look forward to a long friendship with you! Perhaps one day you will come here in the Philippines and preach with me. God bless!
