Sixth and Last site - Krah Gnoung Village

The last site was indescrible of what God continued to show the team. More people came to the site than any other site we have setup. The Team had to walk in to the area because the road was too narraow to drive the bus. Also they saw the children swimming in a small farming field that was filled by the rain in the last few days. The weather did not cooperate that day as well because the last two hours it rained with lightning, but the team held down the tent from blowing away. What a way to end an amazing time in the mission field when everyone was at peace even if around was chaos. We treated over 400 people up to the last minute of the clinic. Unthinkable events are possible as God shows His power and mercy that boost up your faith to the next level.

The Fifth Site - Tanub Village in Phnom Penh

There are more people that received the Word of God since it is in the city area. There were more children that came to the site. the children's evangelism made an impact in sharing the Word through games and fun while waiting to be treated by the doctor or dentist.

Many packages were prepared at the Pharmacy when they received their prescription. the people received toothbrush, vitamins and tracks that share the Gospel. The main item given in Cambodia is salt which is more needed than rice that are given in the Philippines because salt prevents and helps with goiters problems

The Fourth Site - Back to Phnom Penh

The Team arrived back into the capital city Phnom Penh. The weather continued to be unpredictable. As the the team setup the site in Trapeang Viheah Village, it was hot and humid. They used tents since the rooms were small to accommodate the people.

The prayer team on the lady who had stomach pains. As the team prayed for her the pain disappeared. A seed has been planted for the love of God. Cambodian people still continues to struggle on belief other than anything outside their culture.



As we conduct evangelism through the medical missions please continue to pray God's increase in their life.

Update on the Cambodia Team

My apologies for not being able to update you on the rest of the mission due to Internet connection from the team. Pictures will be posted as soon as Menchie comes back on Saturday to Hawaii.

Continue to lift the team and the Cambodian people up in prayer.

Blessings Arnel

Kratie Province - Kantuot Village

The weather is hot and humid. The team has setup at the last site of Kratie Province before heading back to Phnom Penh. The village is not very big. There were 250 people treated both with medical and dental needs. The team treated over 800 people. God is so good. The Team continues to show the love of Jesus as they see the people through the different section of the site.

The team has a long journey back to Phnom Penh. Continue to cover them with prayer and travel mercies. They will be at an orphanage over the weekend and attend the Sunday service of New Life Church. After service the Team will visit a museum, where they will see the historical events that happened in Cambodia. It will show the areas known as the "The Killing Fields", were Cambodian people lost their lives as well as being maimed by the mines planted in that area during the Khmer Rouge regime after the Vietnam War. Many Cambodian people where killed mainly by starvation and diseases during that time. Pray for the country of Cambodia on areas that God leads you to pray.

Second Site Kampong Cham

The second day the team headed out for an one hour and half bus ride to reach the second site called Pughea Kreak Village. The rain continues to pour for the second day in row but people stuck around to get the medical and dental treatment. Praise God! Still over 330 people heard the Good News of the love and compassion of God.

An amazing show of God's presence happens when saints pray for the miraculous, they receive the answer in an awesome deliverance of healing. A woman who had a stroke couldn't walk and her face partially paralyse was so thankful. after praying with her the woman's face relax almost to normal and was able to walk around still with difficulty but able to walk. That difference in situation is huge thing to a person who was partially paralyse by a stroke. She was so thankful. Continue to lift her up for complete healing to be a witness for Jesus.

Press in prayer for the team's covering. Local officials continue to conduct checks on their paper work even after they received permission to conduct the medical mission. God is awesome in times of evildoers trying to stop what God has ordained.

Kratie Province- Snuol Village

The team headed to Kratie Province which is about a 6 hour drive by bus from the city of Phnom Penh. The team setup at the first site called Snuol Village. The school they were able to use for the mission is really in the rural areas of Cambodia and they had to sweep up the dirt flooring for better sanitation to conduct treatments. There are no hospital around except in the major cities. If people get sick, sometimes they pass on because of the lack of facilities and clinics. It is a very different lifestyle and below the standards compared to even what we call the countryside of the United States.

The team treated around 300 people at the first site. People are scarce compared to the big city. As the evangelism team shares the gospel to the villagers. Their understanding of Jesus is just another god along the many gods people believe in Cambodia. However, there were two to three women who felt peace in their surroundings when the team prayed for them and continued to ask who is Jesus.

Continue to pray for the Cambodian people to open their hearts to God and their mind to receive revelation who is Jesus, the name above all names, the Prince of Peace and the Lord of All. Also pray for the team who labor in the fields to gather who God has sent them to harvest. Pray for strength for the heat and humidity.

Travel to Cambodia

As the team travelled to Cambodia, the Hawaii team met a lady in Taipei Airport headed to Cambodia.She twisted her ankle and the team offered to pray for healing. She only not only received healing on her ankle but also the prayer removed her throbbing headache and other painful areas she was experiencing at that moment. The power of prayer is incredible. The Team arrived safely to Cambodia and headed to Kratie Province where the first site will be established. The Combodia Medical Mission Team comprised of about 50 people this year. What an Awesome God we serve and meds went through great at the Customs and Immigration in the airport. The internet is slow in the hotel so I recieved the report first hand on the phone. Once the pictures are downloaded I will post on the blog.

ARMS Hawaii headed to Cambodia Medical Mission

We are getting ready to head out to Cambodia to join the rest of the Team from ARMS in Cambodia during the outreach from 13-25 September 2009. Anyone who are interesting in going still has time to join. The cut off is Aug 14 to finalize the team and submit the in-country cost to ARMS. So far Menchie and Carol will be the Hawaii Team to go. We solicit your prayers for covering.

Miracle Healings and Wonders

Amazing how God orchestrated 82 people to work together as one family. Everyone treated one another as family and really enjoyed one another. When they go back home they have adopted each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Answered prayers for the medications lasted throughout the mission. We only had purchase cer

tain medications and vitamins which was supported by sponsors who donated prior to the start of the mission. It is awesome that God sets everything in place.

We have a mighty God who performs healing even today. The following are reports that happened during the mission:

In the photo, Cowanda (behind Babe holding the ladies hand), Babe and Mary are praying for a woman with severe chest pain. (Interpreter is at the left.) While we were praying God healed her and completely took the pain away. This was Cowanda's first time to lay hands on someone and pray for healing, and first time to see someone healed. She was moved to tears and in awe for the rest of the day. Hallelujah! He is soooo awesome!

One young lady on the Team received the baptism of the Spirit during our praise and worship and she began to speak in tongues. She declared that there is now a resident power in her that she did not have before. At the next site she enthusiastically and boldly prayed for people with extremely high blood pressure and within seconds their pressures dropped dramatically.



A woman who had trouble walking because of hip problems could not continue to walk through the line. They gave her the good news as she sat near the registration office. Then they prayed for her and laying hands on her hip. As they prayed, they told her to stand up. They told her to walk and her pain was gone through her faith, praise the Lord she was healed. We led her to the pharmacy to get vitamins and rice to take home.




A woman who could not hear began crying after she was prayed over by our prayer intercessor Mama Cora. She asked if anything was wrong and she answered I can hear you. Then she boldly testified of the miracle that happened and everyone with her on the next evangelism session gave their lives to the Lord Jesus.


A man whose body was numb from working in a bakery then he fetches water after work for his family and community that places his body battling heat and cold. As some people started praying for him his numbness went away and just went through the line to go through received the salvation message and publicly giving his life to Jesus.


A man walked in the clinic that had a serious problem and only the hospital at this point could help him. He had low blood pressure that could not even be read. The doctors told him to rest and sit so that we could pray for him. He told the doctors that he was ready to die. Our prayer warriors came into medical just in time and prayed with him even more, while the doctors were having him rest. A few minutes later the man was smiling and his continence was different. It is like the breath of life entered his body and started to walk around. He then said that he was strengthened. He wanted to go but we offered to pay for his ride home. He said that I am alive and I can walk home.


There was a woman in line who had her left eye damaged by a previous injury. (a nail that hit her eye and she cannot see from her left eye just a blur. Pastor Mayette explained to her the message of salvation while Mommy Cora (that is what everyone calls her) prayed for healing for her eye and when they finished their prayer. They asked her how she felt, she said she had a headache and then they prayed again for her. They asked her again about how she felt; they received the report of her left eye being able to see clearly. They covered the good eye and ask her again, can you see clearly now? and she replied yes and they celebrated praising the Lord Jesus. We are seeing the miracles and wonders and she has not even registered yet. What a mighty God we serve!

Pastor Nick ministered to a very special 13-year-old boy, named Christian, who said he's never seen so many smiles in his neighborhood. He declared, "You people brought the Spirit of God into this community! I want to be just like you, Pastor Dominic, and change nations!" (He began to cry.) He's only 13!! It was so obvious that this young man has a unique calling. He went on to say, "The other kids make fun of me because I know I am different and God shows me things." He prophesied over him and told him that God is especially fond of him and the God would continue to reveal His mysteries to him. He began to cry and said that we make him feel special and give him hope. He did not quite understand it, but he will operate in the prophetic and the apostolic gifts. Pray for this young man (Christian), that he would find a strong, spiritual father and mentor.


Praise God. He made the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walked, and the dead rise. Nothing is impossible with God.

Other Activities During the Mission

We were able to eat lunch at a nearby waterfall observation spot just about a kilometer away from the church. The team enjoyed the site.

We also attended a Saturday service at the mountain church that was a planted after last year’s mission. Everyone did not fit but enjoyed to see the fruit of the medical mission. They do have lots of children and the children’s ministry was a joy to see.

Some of the ladies were able to spend half a day at the orphanage. They cared for some of the children and played with them even just for a little while.

Others went to the children’s prison. No one was allowed to take pictures. A few of our children went with the some of the adults and it was an eye opener for them. The living conditions are way below American standards. It is a sad site to see but at least they are out of the street and have some form of meal to eat.

Some attended the local festivities in Bacolod called Panaad. Various booths displayed some of the town arts and crafts, as well as different varieties of food tasting from different areas of Negros.

The Result

Many of the Team members never notice on how many people registers to get treated in every site. They find out the result after the day is over when we worship together after dinner and testify the goodness of the Lord. Amazing how our God continues to show each one that step out in obedience that they are needed to complete the work of the Lord. Earlier in midst of the mission I charge the team with the scripture from 2 Cor 9

12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift.

Here are some numbers to consider:

Total # of sites: 7

Total registered: 4,449

Total medical patients: 3,423

Total dental patients: 1,097

Total decisions for Christ: 3,141

To the Team, Thank you for a job well done! You are truly Christians in Action!

Site Seven - Barangay Villa Esperanza

The number seven represents completion in the bible. Today is our last site. We are located by the sea and the site is for one of the fishing villages of Negros. The team was ready for the last site. We were in spiritual warfare. Our children's evangelism team after the second session all had headaches and do not know why. The enemy was at work and we found out why people were trickling in instead of already crowded in line, one of the barangay officials did not announce there was a medical mission being held. But to God be the victory. We still saw over 600 people and we had over 70 percent gave their lives to the Lord.

The volunteers were hard at work. we had great young people helping out this year. One of the families that helped out were the Yandall families who translated and assisted in every area of the outreached.

WE WANT TO THANK ALL THE LOCAL VOLUNTEERS THAT HELPED OUT BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM WE COULD NOT HAVE SEEN MORE PEOPLE THAN WE CAN HANDLED. BIG THANKS FOR BUSINESS INN FOR PROVIDING OUR LODGING.

THE RESULTS FOR THE ENTIRE OUTREACH FOR ALL SEVEN SITES.

4,449 Total people seen
3,141 Accepted Christ

Site 6 - Barangay Mandalagan

Have you ever felt stretched by God? An amazing thing happens. A man walked in the clinic who had a serious problem and only the hospital at this point could help him. He had low blood pressure that could not even be read. The doctors told him to rest and sit so that we could pray for him. He told the doctors that he was ready to die. Our prayer warriors came into medical just in time and prayed with him even more, while the doctors were having him rest. A few minutes later the man was smiling and his constanance was different. It is like a the breathe of life entered his body and started to walk around. He then said that he was strenghten. He wanted to go but we offered to pay for his ride home. He said that I am alive and I can walk home. Praise God. He made the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walked, and the dead rise. Nothing is impossible with God.

Everyone was stretched because we saw more than 900 people. There were so many people and you won't even notice because it comes in waves. Each area were working non-stop and the result was 60 percent of the people seen gave their lives to the Lord. We even had some of the Christian families that retired in that area provided soup with rice so that the people will not faint of hunger while waiting in line to be treated. We took turns going to lunch in order to get every person through the line.

Site Five - Barangay Sum Ag

Truly another awesome day! We had a line of over 100-200 people before the team even arrived at the site. We had some of the local police who keeps the team secure come around and toured the outreached. At this site, there are more dental patients than medical so we had to cut the dental early. But still we had another great crowd of over 700 people. With two more sites we may reach around 4000 people.

Miracles began early as a woman who could not hear began crying after she was prayed over by our prayer intercessor Mama Cora. She asked if anything was wrong and she answered I can hear you. Then she boldly testified of the miracle that happened and everyone with her on the next evangelism session gave their lives to the Lord Jesus.

Everyone called her Mama Cora for she would served everyone in all sections of the outreach. She is truly using her gift of discernment and healing to pray for people in line along with a team of prayer warriors. Everyone adopted her as the powerhouse mother of the team.

Site Four - Barangay Punta Tay-tay

What an awesome God we serve. You must all be praying that the team would be fired up because they were. On our fourth site (Barangay Punta Tay-tay) which means end of the bridge. Over 700 people were treated and over 460 accepted Jesus in their lives. The Team was pushing it beyond their limits. The dental team had help from some of the pastors to pull teeth. Amazing! The dental treated over 160 people averaging about two to three teeth per person. That’s a lot of teeth pulled in one day. If you want to know the total, we have served over 2200 people so far and have three sites to go.

Many miracles are taking place. There was a woman who had a hip problem and the team prayed for them and the pain went away. She was freed from pain. Another miracle was when we saw those 700 people within 2 hours prior to our normal closing time. God is showing us that even some of the team members had to leave we can do it with a few.

God also stretched the medicines for the past four sites. We only need to purchase a few at a time. Praise God that there are sponsors that donated financially that we can purchase more meds. Pray for more strength. The heat is getting to some of the team members, but no one wants to stay back.

God has really called the team members to this mission. Because everyone is assisting everyone in every area of need. We became one united body from all over the earth. This is exactly what God wants. A united body on a borderless mission.

Having Church on the Mountain

One year ago when we held the medical mission at Mt. Don Salvador Benedicto. We claimed that area for Christ and 6 months later a church was planted. People came from all over the mountain. They take about an hour or two to get to the church and we joined them in service Saturday morning. There were so many of us that some stayed outside the church made of tin roof and bamboo with a God created dirt flooring. Awesome!

There was also a young man that we prayed over to be trained for his calling to take over and pastor the church. He is going through training with the resident missionary. He was humbled with all the pastors that was with the team from all over the world and layed hands to pray over his calling.

I was able to join the children's ministry and their young kids leading the other kids in worship. It was humbling to see were God will lead the young kids to leading the next generation.

It also amazing that the children were more than the members of the church and there were four that led them in worship. Amazing what God has been establishing even in the remote areas of the Philippines.

Third site - Barangay 28 (Mabini Elemantary School)

Some of the team also visited Holy Infant Orphanage in Bacolod. Clothing and other items were donated for the children. They were so precious, and cried when the team left.





At the third site more people are praying and more people are being healed before being seen. The Holy Spirit are touching lives through the obedience of the missionaries going around by the leading of God to touch and pray for their lives.


A man whose body was numb from working in a bakery then he fetches water after work for his family and community that places his body battling heat and cold. As some people started praying for him his numbness went away and just went through the line to go through received the salvation message and publicly giving his life to Jesus.


The day was hot. Then in the afternoon rain and lightning held the people from coming. It rained so hard that the streets flooded within a few minutes. But victory is in Jesus, we still saw over 500 people. We were expecting more that day but Praise the Lord! that 366 people accepted Christ in their lives. Hallelujah, God is an awesome!
