Imagine Preaching the Gospel every single day and many coming to Christ each and every day.
Imagine a government leader that organizes these gatherings and asks you to preach Jesus. To preach without censorship and gice you as much time as is necessary.
Imagine this government official feeding the entire group a snack while they are there.
Imagine free access to schools, farmers cooperatives, newly elected government officials and soon the entire police force.
This is what we are living right at this moment.
God has a way of doing things in a grand way. He has a way of surprising even His Own People. At this point I am truly amazed at this Jesus the Nazarene.
This sunrise I saw and phtotographed recently. Perhaps the nicest I have witnessed so far in my lifetime.
Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Numbers don’t matter?
I hear some say that quantity does not matter, it is quality.
What would happen if you could have both?
I think when we are speaking of the rescue of the perishing, to the person that does not get reached, the numbers matter.
We have been here full time in the Philippines for over 4 years. What I can see is that God has been preparing the way, all of the time leading us, to being us to where we are and what we are experiencing today.
Strategy
Some people laugh at my strategy. I am getting use to it. It really doesn’t bother me as I know Who gave me this strategy.
Prayer
That it? Yes! Pray until God opens a door and then walk through it as it opens.
During this 4 years we have already won thousands to Christ. All to God’s Glory and Honor. Many times it feels like we are just spectators and we are watching God Work.
During the first 4 years here we have:
Built a relationship with around 120 local pastors. We meet with these pastors most every week. Out of this group of 120, we have established very close relationships with a few and are engaged in regular ministry with these most every month or more frequently.
We hold crusades or evangelistic outreach campaigns every 2 months. It was during one of these crusades, we won this government leader to Christ.
God’s Strategy!
Over the past couple of months this Government official has asked us to minister to:
20,000 newly elected government workers and officials.
12,000 students in middle and high school. After we complete this schedule, more is to come.
10,000 plus farmers and cooperative members.
The meetings that have been organized are usually between 80 to 300 attendees at a time. Thus a very busy and wonderful schedule.
In the school meetings, we are seeing nearly 100% conversion rate. I know the naysayers will say this is not probable and many of these kids are not really converted. But I was there to see the hunger and even desperation and the many tears and snotty noses as they repented and believed on Jesus Christ. These kids were honest, transparent and wide eyed as they heard the Good News. There is no reason for me to doubt their conversion.
Soon we will have a vehicle and the Chikdrens Ministry will go into overdrive.
We will easily be able to reach 400 kids per week and this will be even greater as God does always better than we can ask or imagine.
I shake even now as I write this. God has been challenging me, whether or not I can believe Him for an entire generation with not one child left outside.
Darby) Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
Cebuano) Kanako mangayo ka, ug kanimo igahatag ko ang mga nasud nga imong panulondon, Ug mapanag-iya mo ang mga kinatumyang dapit sa yuta.
(Spanish RV) Pídeme, y te daré por heredad las gentes, y por posesión tuya los términos de la tierra
(Tagalog AB) Humingi ka sa akin, at ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga bansa na iyong pinakamana, at ang mga pinakadulong bahagi ng lupa ay iyong pinakaari.
The best thing that could happen to any nation is that their young people would come to Christ Jesus. The future is in these little ones.
Let’s agree in prayer for an entire generation. Hallelujah!
Our meeting yesterday. A super long drive, but worth the numbing in my legs.

I have a feeling, we have just seen a sampling of what God has in store.
God has been organizing these things. People to follow up on the converts. He has also began to supply the finances necessary to keep all of this going.
The greatest investment of all is not crypto currencies, stocks, properties, businesses. The greatest investment is the Kingdom. This investment has eternal rewards from an extremely generous God.
Thank you for your time and God bless!
