Site 6 Iwahig Prison - Inagawan Sub colony

Today, we went to Iwahig Prison Penal Colony. We went to a different sub division of the prison from two years ago that we were not able to treat two years ago. This sub colony had two types of prisoners. One is Medium security which prisoners were just transferred from Metro Manila jails and the second is Minimum Security prisoners that are about to be released from prison.

It was challenging for the Medium Security since they will only let out 20 at a time from the cells to medical section and 20 for dental section. However we were able to treat over 400 prisoners and also the families living inside the Penal Colony.


An awesome testimony is that a prisoner from the last visit became a pastor while we were there two years ago and he was released last year. Now the surrounding Christian churches assisted him in building a chapel inside the prison that he now pastors.

Many prisoners gave their lives to the Lord Jesus and now he will follow up from inside the colony. Please continue to pray for this Pastor and continue to build the kingdom of God within the prison to set the captives free even inside the prison walls.

Site 4/5 Barangay Zibaltan and Zone One

Some of the team members had experienced some health issues but we were able to press on with the remaining two teams. the main team went to Barangay Zibaltan and a smaller team went to Zone One in the mountain since it is a smaller site. None of the team members wanted to go home without going home without getting all the people hearing the saving message of Jesus.

Zone One site reported that majority of the team never heard the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. They able to see almost 200 people in the mountain side. In addition, Barangay Zibaltan reported miracles of the blind able to see and a man with a goiter dissappearing with prayer.

It was just an amazing day and that night we were going to say goodbye with our youths who needed to get back to school since they only have one week with us. So we loss a third of the team, but the impact was life changing and lasting as they testified of the experienced that Jesus showed them during their time on the mission field. We know as they return home they will make an impact in their community. What an awesome God we serve! We delivered the Gospel to over 500 people combined. Jesus is the name above all names that changes our lives.

Site 2/3 Barangay Manlag and Bagong Bayan

After the initial day, the team was ready to split into two teams. One was to go to village called Barangay Manlag and the other to Bagong Bayan which means "new village". Both teams continue to give the love of God in these two sites. This year we were able t have over 20 young adults joined us in the mission field. After the second site they changed their heart and minds into the compassion of Jesus Christ after experiencing the need to give the message of hope and salvation to people in need. One young lady stated that "when we get back we should be doing the same thing in our communities". What a testimony and a life changing experience for these young adults. They are powerful prayer warriors and first hand saw miracles signs and wonders just by praying with people.

Both sites saw around 500 people and within two days we were able to give the gospel to over 1500 people. This is what medical missions are about. the bigger the teams the more area we can cover in giving the salvation message of Jesus to as many as we can. The need is great as the time draw close when everyone will hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Site 1 Barangay Bucana

It is almost like a family reunion when the team comes together as one. We all gathered up at Manila and reacquaint with one another. This year we have over half the team new to the mission. It is powerful when God’s people are united to do one purpose. The consist of 86 members strong.
The trip was a 6 hour bus ride to the first site in El Nido Palawan. We are located near the water surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is a picturesque view of paradise. However, there are a mixed of religion and culture in one place and there a spiritual battle.


El Nido is now one of the thriving tourist spots in the Philippines. People in the area have gained an additional way of living. There are many people still needs medical and dental attention. There is no hospital in the area only small clinics. The nearest hospital is about two hours away.
Our first site was Bucana Elementary school which was in the middle of the mountains and a half an hour bus trip. We gave the Gospel to over 500 people and half gave their lives to the Lord Jesus. It was a powerful first day.
