More About 12 New Churches

Dear Grace Chapel Partners,     


As I shared last week I received confirmation that Pastor Alagos, our Pastor at Grace Chapel, and other churches leaders there in the Philippines had the same vision as I do about starting the 12 Churches. They have been praying for the Lord to provide the finances and I had been praying for leaders to carry it out… What a great confirmation of the Lord’s providence. Of course I would say Grace Chapel itself is a grand confirmation of the Lord’s Grace and Mercy. Amen

Last week I asked you to pray and fast and this week I'm asking you to be a part of starting these 12 new Churches.

So here is the vision.

Grace Chapel currently supports Pastor Alagos Christian Radio Program “The Intercessors Hour of Prayer.” From this program come many request for Pastor Alagos to do the program and evangelistic outreach in neighboring Barangay. So with many days of preparation, prayer and fasting they arrive and many are saved and blessed. The Mabasa Church that you all have received communication about was started just this way. Pictures are attached

One: We start the Churches through the outreach of the radio Program.

Two: Pastor Alagos has already been active training Evangelist/Pastors

Three: Once a small congregation of believers is established we build a Church, parsonage and help support the Pastor for one year while he grows and establishes them to be self supporting.

Here is the cost: (UPDATED JULY 10, 2012

Launching the church - 2 day concert crusade $850

Build a Bamboo Church and Parsonage with cement floor $3000

Support a new Pastor and family for one year $1140

Total Cost for a Church Building, Parsonage and Support for One Year is ONLY $4990

My friend, how easy is this? ONLY $4990 will establish a Church in the Philippines

It’s clear the lord is in this… Will you be in this with Prayer and I'm asking you to be in this Financially also?

Grace Chapel - 12 New Churches

I’m so excited I just had to share!


If you remember last year when we went to the Philippines it was to minister to Grace Chapel Ministries. But Pastor Kelly had also said “While you are there listen to what the next step would be for Grace Chapel… hear what God says.


Well, it was very clear we were to start 12 churches in three years and most the plan to accomplish this was laid out clear.
A year has come and gone with not much progress with the exception of generous donations building up in the Grace Chapel funds… thanks to all of you.
So now, I just received confirmation that God has been working on the hearts and minds of those in the Philippines who can accomplish the vision that they too have the same vision for starting the churches.

God has been working around the world setting into motion this vision (plan). Pastor Alagos and others in the Philippines have also been fasting and praying to start these churches.

My friends we need fasting and praying. That is what I’m asking all of you to do. Please fast and pray for these new churches.

We are working out details now and as the details come about I will be sharing it all with you.

WE ARE PRAYING AND FASTING TO START TWO OF THESE CHURCHES THIS YEAR!!!

Hallelujah, The Lord is good!

Grace Chapel Extended & Our FourthYear Anniversary


Grace Chapel Partners,

Check out the pictures of the new Grace Chapel extension finished just in time for our 4th Year Anniversary Service July 31st 2010

Hard to believe but it has been 4 years since the Grace Chapel's dedication and 5 years since Pastor Kelly Backstrom of River Rock Church, Camas, WA issued the $100 Challenge based on the Parable of the Talents Matthew 25:14-30. Pastor Kelly said, "Take this $100 and invest it in the Kingdom and see what God does with it."

The Lord's increase of $100 over the last four years:
A local Chapel of Worship for the Patnongon residents - Feeding the less fortunate - Helping with medical emergencies - Helping Pastors start home businesses to feed their families - Student Scholarships - Supporting Christian Radio Program - Starting more Churches - Fertilizers and Insecticides for the struggling farmers - Guitar for a blind man that sings for his food - Sending students to a Christian Leadership training camp - Evangelism Rally's - Vacation Bible School - Encouraging Pastor's - Saving the lost and encouraging the saints - and the pleasure of us all being able to help and the privilege of service in The Lord's Kingdom, His Church

Thank You Lord Jesus,
