Mission Complete for the PMMO 2011

Wow! what an incredible feeling that overcomes anyone in the presence of the Lord God. Joy, Peace, Strength, and Love just a mixture of emotions is indescribable. The team have departed back into their own city and community probably trying to give an account of what they experienced in their two week outreached in the Philippines. With everyone back home, each one is sharing an excitement of what happened within their own life as well as the people they touched.

It started before the mission in the Philippines, as each team member was given a seed of compassion by God towards His people. Then watered by God when we all reached out to a person in our own community. Then it grew outside each community towards the nations. The result of that seed grew to treating medically and having dental work to over 4,000 people with about 2,700 receiving Christ as their Lord and Savior.

It is only with the power of the Holy Spirit that we were able to do this within the two weeks. How awesome is our Lord God Almighty!

Site 6 - Talisay Final Day

We were blessed to use one of the newest school built for the high school students. This is the last site of the mission. The team was excited and pumped to do all they can do. Again many miracles happened and many ask for prayer for personal issues with themselves and family. One lady asked for prayer for her because her husband left her more than18 years ago and raised her kids with her mother. The team prayed and led her to a prayer of forgiveness and giving her burden to God. She walked out later with the weight on her shoulder lifted. The team experienced not only super natural healing but also gave healing to heart issues. That is what our purpose for this mission is to touch each person for God and at the same time empowering and increasing each team members walk of faith. I believe the team experienced a blessed and empowering time together with their God and each other. We saw over 600 people again. This year is a little different with a closer walk having to listen to what people who are hurting inside. We tended to people with unforgiveness and listening to issues of the heart and Jesus healed them of their sickness. We learned a valuable lesson of walking not as sinner that is forgiven but a saint walking doing good works for our God.

Site 5 - Silay

This is one of the poorest area in Bacolod but it is home of the newly built airport by the Japanese government a few years ago. The day started with a lot of people already in line that morning. It was a smaller place and we were crammed in but we were blessed. Lots of miracle has happened but we had issues with dental patients having to take two hours to do one patient. We strategically placed prayer warriors with the dental team to pray for patients that have extra ordinary teeth that grew like a hook and hard to pull out. Then that afternoon, dental was able to treat more patients. God does miracles also in dental and gave our dentist the strength the rest of the mission. There was a guy who came to the outreach with every joint hurting on his body because he works in an ice plant because it was the only job available to him. The team prayed and his joints healed up. He went home with just vitamins and a bag of rice. Over 600 people were seen. To God be the Glory!

Site 4 - Pulupandan

The team has earned its well deserve rest. We worshipped powerfully to God this morning and it prepared us for the site that we were about to do the work that the Lord Jesus assigned. This site was near the sea and their main livelihood is fishing. There were over 400 people were waiting in line. The team was ready for all the people today. We had several additional local teacher volunteers to help us with translation and crowd control. It ran so smooth that the team did not feel overwelmed. The prayer and healing team were awesome in seeing this one person with one arm shorter than the other and Pastor Kim literally saw the arm grew evenly as they prayed for the person. God continue to increase our faith as he shows His power to the obedience of His servants. Many came and many gave their lives to the Lord this day, over 600 people, Praise the Lord! even some of our local volunteers who did not have a relationship with God accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Its amazing what a testimony of what God does in our lives as Christians even the little things can bring a person to know our God is real and our God blesses us. Over 700 were seen for medical and over 200 were treated in dental. Praise The Lord!

Weekend Break

After three days of intense servanthood to the people of Negros (a little over 1800 people treated so far). The team needed a day of rest and relaxation to recharge and rejuvinate. Some the team members went to the Mambukal waterfalls and hotspring. This area has seven levels of waterfals with a natural hotspring that heats up as you rise to the top.

However the team never stops building relationships. When we have the opportunity to share the love of God we do. There was a young guide at the falls that was blind in one eye and we prayed for him to receive healing. We pray that this young boy will know the love of the Father as he grows and forgive his brother that caused his blindness.

Others went to the Panaad festival were each city in the island of Negros is diplayed. They advertised their resources and special culinary specialties. Even their entertainers come out to celebrate the festival.

On Sunday we worshipped on top of the mountain of Don Salvador were we planted a seed two years ago and the church has grown. This area was oppressed and a spirit of depression was over the livelihood of the people. Now Godhas been healing the area. There has been a change as Pastor Todd and Catherine Caplinger started a feeding program and a brick oven was built to be used to feed the people in that area and possibly start an income building program. it was a great time of worship up in the mountain with the clean air and God's creation surrounding the us celebrating God's goodness.

Site 3 - Handumanan

We started the morning we praise and worshipped. We were given the Word for the day that our hands are to be used to touch the lives of people. That a Christian fights with hands together praying to the Lord Jesus. It was a powerful time of worship because that day we had issues starting with the meds being lost and finding it later. Our dental area had cases that was challenging in getting some of the tooth being work taking three times longer than average time. People coming in that are opposing the love of God given to the people being seen. But God always comes out victorious because of the obedience of His servant’s heart and purpose is one with Him. We had teenagers just coming to the school to finalize their registration for next school year and they were able to be encouraged and empowered by Pastor Sue, being prayed over to do great things as they are the next generation. Then at lunch we were rushed by the multitude of people to be seen by our doctors. However, our team was so united and powered by the morning worship. We were able to treat a total of 718 and 460 gave their lives to the Lord and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. What a powerful time. That evening we were able to praise with power and outpouring of the Holy Spirit has energized each team member to include the leadership team. Everyone was fired up to even continue seeing people that evening. We also said good bye to some of the team members and it was an emotional time. However we will also be welcoming more team members joining prior to the next three sites. Blessings to you all.

Site 2 - Don Salvador

It was market day at our next site were people would walk for miles in the mountain to sell their goods. We did not anticipate many people waiting in line and expected them to trickle in as they do their buying and selling throughout the day. Then as we enter the gates of the school and there were already 200 people waiting to see the doctors and dentist. Wow! We did not expect that people will be waiting because this time was for selling and buying at the market. There lots of miraculous healing as people cam for prayer. Even as they sat and waited to see the doctors and dentist, the volunteers were able to talk and pray for people. We had our kids that would keep the other kids in line entertained as they waited to be seen. We treated over 639 people today and around 376 gave their lives to the Lord.

Site 1 - Manapla

Before we headed out to the first site, our team prepared by worshipping God the Father. This made a difference when we got to the site. People were already waiting; over 300 hundred people were already in line. We already felt that we were going to make a difference with every person we touch today. First off there were already healing as we prayed for people in line. There was man with a 1 inch lump on his throat just disappeared as Mommy Cora started praying with him. As people were seen many gave their lives to the Lord Jesus by accepting Him as their Lord and Savior. Then Prayer and Healing team prayed for someone that was deaf for 15 years and was finally able to hear. There was a woman blind that was prayed over and now cleared up the whiteness in her eyes. Incredible empowerment and gifting of the Holy Spirit flowed through each member of the team. We were even able to pray for the Mayor of Manapla when she stop by to visit. We treated around 473 people with 376 receiving salvation. The team was pumped.

Med Prep

God has brought together a group of saints that just came together as a family like it was in a reunion. We had quite a few first timer but seemed like they were veterans. We were all exhuasted but God gave us strength through the joy of serving His son Jesus. We even have a few little ones that are so helpful in everything trying to help in everyway and involve in everything. Worshipping together has brought a unity in the body of Christ.What an awesome time!

Arrival in Manila

Thanks be to God that continues to bring the team together to gather and unite as one to go forth for the love of Jesus. As the team members continues to come together, old friends reunite new friends are welcomed. The love of God bonds the servants together to be as one with each other with one purpose, one mind and one heart to do the will of the Father. It is a glorious moment to connect with old and new friends knowing that we are a family in Christ. All I can is Amazing!
