ARMS Medical Mission 2010 Video

An awesome compilation of pictures taken and placed in a video by Travis Yanagida who was a brother and part of the team this year. The next date for the Philippine Medical Mission 2011 will be April 4-15 2011.

Mission Accomplished! Battle won!

Praise the Lord!

As the Lord Jesus conquered death for us to live, We have overcome! . The team members are probably recovering from the battle that was fought and I pray refreshment of physical strength and the Joy of the Lord as they recover spiritual strength as well.

The final results of the mission were:

Medical patients seen: 2,496

Dental patients seen: 861

Total registered: 3,357

Decisions for Christ: 2,210

Healings over 240

As I looked back in what has just happened, I see that the enemy knew how much of a powerful team he was going against. We were over 90 enthusiatic and fired-up spirit-filled Saints going to take the land for God.

We battled against the political realm who was trying to place their name in what we were doing and stopping the people from coming since we stopped their campaigning strategy.

We battled against the heat that pounded the team as we worked in classrooms that were small and hundreds of people gathered waiting to be seen.

We battled mechanical problems that stranded half the team delaying them a couple of hours reaching the site in the mountains .

We battled authorities that were in control of the prison of not supporting as previous years because their superiors that was incapacitated with heat stroke 4 months ago was not able to assist in preparation to have the prison ready to be seen by the team.

However, no one can stop the Army of the Lord with Jesus as the Captain of the Host. The soldiers were ready and praises unto Jesus who has the Victory. Our battle cry of Hallelujah! conquered the enemy.

We opened up a new section in our arsenal of prayer warriors and healing ministry. For us Christians it was the "norm" but the world has forgotten what God continues to do. It was powerful through a believer with child like faith to engage their authority given by Jesus to heal the sick and the brokenhearted with prayer. The saints activated their faith in touching the sick with the hands of God. In every area of the mission the saints prayed. as well as the medical professionals that came with us. Excitement was the word seeing miraculous healings takes place.

Bagong Sikat Palawan

Wow, Amazing ! is the word. Today we treated over one thousand people. We gave the message of salvation even to theMuslim people that attended the outreach. Everyone pushed to the end. Over 599 people gave their lives to the Lord Jesus. We had spiritual battles throughout the mission but God's people prevailed and step up to the challenge and we have overcome. Halelujah! This was the last site and all are still excited and wanting to do more. I hope those who read this blog would join us in the kingdom building of God the Father. Every has the heart of the Father to the fatherless. No words can describe the feeling inside unless you experience it yourself. God Bless everyone.

Iwahig Prison Palawan

This was a day that God increase the level of the team. Through prayer and faith of healing. Many of the prisoners were healed and freed within the prison walls. There was one man who did not get medical care and a tumor grew to a point that it push his eyes out of the socket. He was in so much pain that even our doctors could not clean the wound that he may bleed to death. They changed the dressing but the smell of the wound was strong that one of our care giver fainted. We had one prayer warrior who prayed with him and by noon, his pain disappeared and the bleeding stop. He finally was brought to the provincial hospital. Hopefully they will remove the tumor now that God has healed him.

The barbed wired fence and gated cells was to keep the prisoners locked up but as we gave them the message of the gospel they were freed from their burden that placed them in the prison. They were many that is in prison because of injustice but dance to get them justice for in our God we have liberty.

Barangay Simpucan Palawan

This day was an awesome day. We had an advance party go first the night before to prepare the Registration and Evangelism. There were close to 700 people at the site. The Barangay Captain or Chairman had trucks pick up people because we were in a remote side of the island. No electricity yet. As well as a cell tower. Radios were the only source of communication outside the village.

The team prayed prior to beginning our outreach and it is a powerful testimony to people around to see medical professionals praying.

Facilities are not always available and sometimes locked so we do what is provided and sometimes it helps with the heat.

Please continue to cover the Team as we conduct the outreach at the Iwahig Prison.

1st Week Highlights

Here are some of the pictures and highlights on what God is doing in the field. I will post more pictures when I get time to load them. The team had a off day to relax before we go into the second week. We will worship in the house of God of Pastor Rene who is hosting us at New Wineskin church.

Pangasinan Day 2

This day we saw over 500 people and the dental team doubled there patient in treating over 181 patients. That is not normal for the dental team who usually receive only 70-80 patients a day. God is giving the team strength

.

One thing for sure our God is alive as He uses the team as His hands and feet. Touching lives in supernatural way. The blind saw, the lame walked and the deaf heard the Good News of the Lord.

It is hot here and the team is also being challenge in their physical strength. We know the enemy tends to ruin a good thing when the saints are in the will of the Father. He tries to throw us off but the team is pressing on and nothing will stop God 's will in our lives. Pray for travel mercies as we head to Palawan. God has tilled the land and we marching forward to plant seeds of His love into the people's hearts.

Binalonan, Pangasinan Day 1

God bless this day as the team got their feet wet in the first site. We saw around 400 people and it was below the average amount oif people but we were blessed.A day in the mission field with miracles , signs and wonders are the norm. We would have been surprised if there were none. One lady the was partially blind but was operated on but here eye sight was still blurred even when the doctors did surgery to remove the cataract. Now after the team prayed for her, the vision on the blurred eye became very clear. She then went into the front of the people and testified what God has done in her life. Waht an awesome God we serve. Picture is below.

We opened a new area in the outreach, the Prayer for Healing room. This room is for people who want more prayers. People continu to receive more healing in that room and their faith increses even for those who are the prayer warriors. Over half the people seen gave their lives to the Lord Jesus and that was our main purpose for the mission to have people receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Getting ready for Battle

Witihin the last two days, the team came together to assemble. Over 90 volunteers from all over thee world assembled in Manila and we all travelled together to Pangasinan. To start the first week of the out reach. The next day we praised and worship equipping one another like preparing for battle. The word was given, the praise to hale the Lord continues.

Meds are being prepared for each site and day as the team worked hard bagging and checking equipment. The first day starts today and we are ready to praise the Lord this morning.

As the team goes out to the field. It will be hot and muggy. We covet your prayer.

On Our Way

The Hawaii team left for Manila on Friday April 9. It was an exciting moment as the team checked-in with no weight problem on all our baggage. 26 to count for total. God has His hand on the team. Upon arriving in Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Immigration officer opened up a new line and we went through like it was the start of a regular day with no questions asked. Then going through the customs as we received all our luggage. The customs guy took only one of our customs form and he made us pass through with no hassle at all. Not one bag was opened. How amazing is that? We had the paperwork ready to show with all the medicines in our luggage and got out within a minute. We Praise God for all He had done that day and everyone made it safely to the hotel. We are just waiting for the rest of the team and we will start the mission.
