"God's ways are not our ways!" Pastora Remy Mordeno Another successful training program took place in the Visayas Islands, this time in Poblacion Carmen, Bohol. God's ways are not our ways. Expecting a big group of 60 pastors as planned, only 15 showed up and 14 graduated. God has sent the remnants for this region that had powerful testimonies who were equipped to lead God's army in advancing His Kingdom. All declared that nothing can beat this technique which they have just learned! God most often uses the remnant to wage His battles. Remember Gideon's Army of 300. Any of us can be a part of the Remnant! Two Bible school students, Sahara and Analou, got addicted to soul winning! They did not want to stop during the practicum. They enjoyed it so much. Pastor Tommy, the host pastor, discovered a way to win those people who are familiar with him and vice versa, without being detected. Catherine had a change of mindset,...

So, from the beginning of trying to get our claim processed we knew we couldn't build the same house for what we had it insured. Good news is the delay gave us time to rethink what...

Laced with terrifying check points, fully armed soldiers, evening smoke from ongoing horrific battles nearby; Dunamis staff braved 3 back to back seminars in war torn MuslimProvince - Lanao del Sur! This last month, my team went into a very dangerous area on the martial law laden Mindanao Island! We sent 4 of our staff and volunteers to hold 3 seminars to train pastors and leaders with our cutting edge evangelism program (Stealth Evangelism Training Program) I want you to read the stories of the experiences they had that most of us would consider perilous and not something you would dare go do. Calli and I were in Europe for 3 weeks (with our daughter Krystel and her new in-laws) while this was going on. It was a tough decision to have them go ahead with the seminars once martial law had been declared over the region. My first response was to call it all off one day during breakfast in Budapest I...
