Reformed Presbyterian Church Stepping into Revival!

Dr. Ephraim Vallente is a dynamic Presbyterian pastor. He is the Treasurer of the General Presbyter and moderator of five divisions of the Presbyterian Church here in the Philippines. Dr. Vallente along with his wife and son were in our batch 22 of Stealth Evangelism. They were tremendously affected and inspired by the training. He has already called a special training of 20 Presbyterian pastors to be held here May 11-14. He believes that the Presbyterian Churches will experience the power of God and numerical growth through evangelism generated by the implementation of the Stealth Program. We are learning that we can impact great numbers of churches by organizing special teams of pastors coming here to train as test pilots for their denomination. As they are successful and experience an evangelism explosion in their own churches, they can influence the other pastors in their denominations. This could also work with the denominations in the US. They could explode with one on one evangelism!

Another Trainer for Saudi Arabia!

Ptr. Archie (we introduced him to you last month) invited another pastor from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to come take our training. Ptr. Marc completed the course last week. Together they are taking Stealth Evangelism back to the underground churches in Saudi Arabia. It was exciting to see Ptr. Archie recruit some help for his mission, even before he left. Ptr. Marc is a very anointed teacher himself. He is passionate for the reaching of the nations. We were blessed with the opportunity to train him. God is good! I’m just amazed at what God is doing. It seems sometimes like if we just think it, it happens. (I’m talking about the God ideas!)

A Trainer for Hong Kong!

The group we trained during the last week in April included pastors from several churches that were moving to other nations to become missionaries. Pastora Joce Umbao is going to Hong Kong. She is excited about bringing the Stealth training to the Filipino believers there. It was only a week ago that I was talking with Pastor Dennis Balcombe in Hong Kong. Dennis has been there going on 40 years, and has an awesome ministry. We were discussing bringing the Stealth Training to the Filipino Hong Kong churches sometime in the near future. A week later I’m training a trainer that’s going to Hong Kong. All you have to do is think it, right? I’m trying to be cute, but it is again, very amazing the coincidences that seem to flow so effortlessly in our lives when we are serving the Lord! Amen?!

Oh Wow! A trainer for Russia!

Ptra. Arlene Bonto is returning to Azerbaijam, Russia. She will be working, but as a “tentmaker missionary” (one that holds down a secular job as well) she will take the Stealth Evangelism Program to the Filipinos that are in that city. Arlene was so excited that she would be able to reach the people she knew there and train them to be soul winners themselves. During a prayer time in the class, she wept hard in intercession for the opportunities that were unfolding for her with her new learned evangelism program. She will report back to us her activities and successes there. We are really looking forward to hearing from Arlene, please pray that God will open the doors in that nation for the Gospel to go out. She did say there a lot of Catholics in the nation, not including the Filipinos that are there. Praise God for another fire to start in Russia, Amen?

A trainer for  Las Vegas, Nevada!
 Yeah that’s right! USA!

Brother Rey Hernandez completed the Stealth training and is excited to be taking it to the US where he is moving to be with his family there. Rey was quite moved through the whole training program and is ready to do some soul winning and training in the US. He was a member of Alabang New Life Christian Center here in Manila.

We trained two batches of pastors and leaders in April.
During their training, the 33 of them made 840 presentations of the gospel and
won 2268 souls to the Lord!
Now they are out winning more souls daily and training others to do the same!

Priest  sprinkles Catholics In attempt to prevent their salvation!

We recently told you about Pastor Arnold Garcia. How he trained 13 of his members in the Stealth Evangelism Program and how they won 1,367 people to the Lord on Alabat Island. The local priest was so concerned about it that he called a special mass and started sprinkling everyone with holy water to try to keep them from being born again! Ptr. Arnold responded by training an additional 13 reapers in his church, and they won another 1,175 people to the Lord. The Island only has 27,000 people on it. His 26 reapers are all winning people daily and the church is bursting at the seams. If you know anyone that likes to go build churches for aggressive pastors, he needs one! They are adding cell groups weekly. What a wonderful time we are in my friends. For you pastors in the US that receive this newsletter, this is what could happen to your church if you dared come and take this training and go back and implement it in your church in the US. You might burst at the seams or have to give fish away my friends. The good news is the training is free! I know that it costs to come over, but imagine your church bursting at the seams with new believers. You could strategically plan the taking of your city with this training. It’s time to stop doing the same ole things the same ole way expecting different results, Amen? Call 1-817-928-3277 and schedule you and possibly some of your leaders to come and take this training.

Opportunity is knocking in Mindanao!

Mindanao is the second most populated Island in the Philippines and contains one of its largest cities. We had 3 pastors from Davao City attend the Batch 23 training last month. One of them was Pastora Laarni Razul. Laarni won 164 people to the Lord during her training. She was so blessed and wants to bring it to the pastors there in Davao. We are discussing the logistics of the venue. We are asking some businessmen in Davao to help work out the details. They are trying to work out the transportation, food and lodging for the pastors that will attend. We’ll  just have to fly about four of us down there from Manila for several days. It gets a little on the expensive side, but the ultimate result is starting a fire in one of the largest cities in the Philippines.  I have already met a number of awesome pastors there and they are ready to take the city! Pastora Laarni was one of the pastors that hosted the Pastors Conference that I was the main speaker at March. After the training she was confident that she would be able to Get the pastors and Christian Businessmen their to step out and put the seminar together. I have included a couple of pictures of my speaking  there in March below.

Above: This picture was taken at an Interfaith Prayer meeting in Panado which is 30 minutes south of Davao City. There were Christians, Catholics, Muslim, Mormons, and Lord only knows who else, but it was an unusual crowd. About 150 plus were saved when Pastor Tony gave the alter call. Pastora Laarni said that Catholic Priests, Mormons, and Muslims were holding their hands up when we prayed, it was very exciting.

Good News Partners!

Through sacrificial love gifts from our partners last month we were able to catch up and pay off the deficit that had accumulated over the last three months. Now if we could increase our monthly support by $5,000 per month we could stop building monthly deficits and we could also start doing Mobile Missions away from Manila at least once a month. Which could at least double the number of Pastors that we train each month. It would take 50 partners $100 monthly or 100 partners at $50 monthly to accomplish this. If you desire to help with this just send us a note of what you would like to do. It takes believers like you, who want to see the world reached with the Gospel binding together with their resources and their faithful prayers to make this happen.  Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers for the Stealth Program and God’s servants here in the Philippines.

God bless you all,
