PLANTING CHURCH 5 AT THE ISLAND OF PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES

My Dear Grace Chapel Partners

As you know Pastor Alagos was not allowed a US Visa to come to the US with me. Pastor Alagos had already arranged a two week leave with the Department of Education. So Pastor Alagos said it must be God’s will for me to come to the US and he would go plant our fifth church on the island of Palawan.

Here is part of the report from Pastor Alagos on his trip to Palawan

Palawan Mission Trip is so exciting and heart breaking I was on tears daily as I commune with people for they were all hungry of God’s word and real fellowship.  As I go along in my travel there the Lord is keep on speaking to me… ”My son this is the reason why I did not open U.S. for you yet because people need me here….”.  Thank you Lord, really your ways are not my ways, you have set a perfect time for me.

First Night crusades more or less 80-100 appeared and many accepted the Lord Jesus Christ and there were three sick people who came forward. Many Christians from different churches came also and help for the crusade.

On the final night, it was so amazing that when I arrive at around 6:15 the plaza were already full of people and many still coming.  I estimated that more or less 150-200 people attended because 120 sets that we barrowed are all used and many more people standing and more besides the highway. There was one lady who publicly testified that she was healed on the first night (At the picture), with these people applause with shouting because they knew the lady. The praise and Worship is so lively ushered by Pulang Lupa Christian Church.  I preach on the woman with the blood disease who touched Jesus and got healed, with this as the preaching end I challenge the crowed and 80 people came to accept the Lord Jesus as their personal savior and many also came for healing. 

For our Grace Chapel partners, thank you for all your prayers and support, you’ve got a good ground to plant your seed of faith.  We will go and whatever the Lord will accomplish with us, … all it came because of you and because of your love. It’s our heart always praying for you.

To the River Rock Church, I really thank God because of you and of your love to my fellow Filipinos.  I really saw in your heart the love of the Lord Jesus Christ that really crosses the distance, cultures, and barriers…. Your love are so amazing… Thank you Lord.

 When we have a passion for the lost and we are willing to cross the uncrossed land and risk our everything for the Lord…There he will meet us and allow us to see his amazing favors and power.  Thank you Lord for bringing to me RRC especially my friend brother Steve for with them I find a place and comfort to fulfill the GREAT COMMISSION. May you always provide our needs, for we have the heart to go wherever you lead us we will follow, whatever you want us to do, we will even it means…the very life that we have, for we are born to serve for our Lord Jesus Christ.

My friends the harvest is upon us!

Mat 9:37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

Mat 9:38 "Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."

May our dear Lord Jesus Christ continue to use us as servants of His Harvest?!
