God shines His light on Compostela Valley as we head out to our first practicum to share Jesus with the local people. |

Two more back to back seminars in different region of Mindanao Island |

| February 25-March 02, 2019
Another uttermost part of the world and the Philippines has been reached in Compostela Valley! ComVal for short, is a province in the Philippines located in the Davao Region in Mindanao. We have been blessed this month of February with pastors and leaders from United Pentecostal Church, in January we had Catholics and Methodists, and a few evangelical pastors in the seminars. |

Witnessing to students inside a local school in Maragusan |
||||||
| The first of these back to back seminars was in the Municipality of Maragusan where they showed zeal and enthusiasm in soulwinning as they learned the evangelism tool. Ignoring the heat, and hunger in the practicum, the graduates claimed it was all worth it and their tiredness was wiped away and replaced with joy as people received the Lord as their Savior.
Pastor Dondie shared that upon hearing the story of The Forgotten Person, he felt so guilty that he had many friends and relatives that he had failed to share the Gospel to. His goal now is to reach out to them and be bolder in sharing this gospel message he said is so simple yet powerful and profound. He committed to winning them all, so God will not hold him accountable for their souls. |

Sharing Jesus with people on the streets of Mongkayo |

“The Greatest Job on Earth!” |
||||||
| Pastor Ramon took a 3 day leave from his work to attend this training. And he didn’t regret losing 3 days wages, because he won so many souls that have eternal value! These souls are worth more than treasures on earth. He now begins a lifestyle of evangelism in and out of season because of the 357 Magnum evangelism tool he learned from the training. He even inspired the batch to do the greatest job on earth which is winning souls.
The second seminar in Mongkayo, the Pentecostal pastors and leaders were amazed with the tool and averred that they have attended many seminars, but the Stealth Evangelism was different in a way that it has practicums, this caused fear in the beginning, but later they became bold and enjoyed doing them. They had so much joy that they pledged to do the practicums as a lifestyle. The burden to preach the Gospel was put in their hearts. Pastor Ruben was able to start his Jail Ministry during the practicums, and Pastor Rey will start equipping his evangelism team. An elder in the Church was crying in the graduation as he shared his conviction that despite of doing the ministry for many years, his family is left out and has not been led to the Lord. He will make sure they are all born again. They were all surprised that this method can use Christian jargon, using the word “born again” and yet the average non-Christian can receive it positively. |

“…To Please God…” |
||||||
| These newly empowered soulwinners found a way to please God. 1Timothy 2:3-4: “This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth”. They have received their marching orders of our Captain Jesus! They are bent on obeying it at whatever cost for the main reason of showing their Love for God and love for their neighbor. Truly the Great Commission fulfills the Great Commandment of loving God and neighbors.
At least 100 new Generals of the Lord’s Army were deployed in Compostela Valley, and close to 3,000 souls were born again. That is only the beginning of millions of souls to be led to Jesus until He comes. Glory to God forever and ever. As Jabez prayed in 1Chronicles 4:10, we also pray that He will Bless this ministry indeed, enlarge its territory, and would keep it from evil. And for all your support, we thank you that you are one with us believing that The Great Commission is the mandate of God, and He intends everyone to fulfill it in each generation. Thank you for joining us in communicating God’s love and forgiveness to everyone, and giving them the chance to hear and believe. — Remy T Mordeno |

Prayer request from Calli |
||||||
| Please pray for me as I leave tomorrow for two weeks to see our daughter Krsytel in Austria. I am going to help her prepare to move to Manila in April. She and her husband Levi are preparing to relocate here with us and will be able to provide us some much needed assistance! Pray for them as they are making this change. Pray for God’s guidance, safety and provision for us all. Love you! | ||||||
Note from Tony! |
||||||
| Now don’t forget to pray for me too, because I’m going to be here all by my lonesome! Calli fills a large hole when she’s here. So give me a boost while she’s gone.
This building has been very hard on both of us, mainly because it has been now more than 3 years since the tragic fire burned our other mission center and everything we had, not to mention the immeasurable loss of Felicity our daughter. We are ready for this construction to be over. The new center will be incredible. We both ask for prayer concerning everything about the completion of the project including the finances for completion. Friends please just pray that God will finish the job and Glorify Himself in it! Love you all, Tony |
