“WHEN FLAWLESS EVANGELISM MAKES SENSE: YOU MUST DO IT UNTO GOD AND IT’S GOT TO BE GOD DOING IT”

Bishop Tony and Calli Poole congratulating the “Flawless Class” of September 11, 2024

Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

Excellence is the road to being perfect! This class of “flawless” evangelists were poised to be like the twelve disciples of Jesus. As they mastered an effective approach to evangelism, they paved the road to a modern way of reaching souls and winning them to the Lord. This group was the epitome of what it means to have good friendships. Because, they resonated with the adage: your church is my church, my church is your church, we all belong to one church, that is God’s church. They lovingly embraced each other like family as they waved a tearful but cheerful goodbye to their fellow classmates from this life-changing seminar. They were all able to achieve excellence in their own way. As each of them experienced breakthroughs, they stepped up further to do their best during their practicums. And they made a declaration to make soul winning a way of life!

This batch was composed of missionaries from Isabela, a pastor’s wife from Taguig City Philippines, a prophetess from Liberia, pastors from Alabang Muntinlupa Philippines, pastors and evangelists from Cameroon in Central Africa and youth church leaders from Cavite, Philippines. The monitors were a missionary from London, UK, an evangelist from Nigeria, and an evangelist-teacher from Pasay City, Philippines.

It was one unforgettable spirit-filled experience. Everyone started sharing their faith through praying, singing praise songs and listening to the lectures of Bishop Tony Poole. They enjoyed learning during the workshop and evaluation activities with the monitors. These sessions helped each of the students to become flawless in delivering the presentation. In addition, the power of the Holy Spirit enabled them to have more self-confidence and holy boldness to evangelize strangers and overcome rejections. The messages and stories shared by the group were very powerful and impactful as they were able to meet numerous people from different locations in Paranaque, Muntinlupa and Las Pinas. Some of the souls won were devout Catholics and Muslims, and some were even members of occultic churches, but they were now all born again! In total these students won 615 lost souls.

Before heading out for the outdoor practicums, these men and women of God did not waste time and found it important to equip each other with the presence of the Holy Spirit. Oftentimes, they would form a circle while holding each other’s hands. They prayed in the spirit and surrendered themselves to God. They would then call upon the assistance of the Holy Spirit with a fervent prayer to reach the lost souls for whom God wanted to touch. They gave Him the highest praise and ultimately glorified Him by their efforts of witnessing and soul winning in the streets. The students had an ardent desire to become the best soul-winners they could ever be.

Some were worried that language would be a problem, but it was not the case. For our African friends who could not speak the Filipino language, they found that many of the people they spoke with did understand some, because English is a second language in the Philippines. So, they not only won those who could speak English well but also those that could only understand using interpreters.

This is Jesus talking. “Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again.” John 3:7 (NKJV)

TESTIMONIAL

A testimony from Evangelist William Tangwin of Lifegivers Worship Center in Taguig City, Philippines: “Good morning to this beautiful family of Dunamis Stealth Evangelism. Certainly, we all arrived at our different homes safely. Thank God Almighty for journey mercies. It was amazing working in a team with you guys. From different backgrounds, we all did it as a family. God should continuously propel us to win more souls to His kingdom. Let our different ministries or churches grow from strength to strength. Let the position we hold as leaders in our different churches be greatly felt and be magnified. Let us have the Grace to overcome fear. At the crossroads of evangelism, we will encounter trials and temptations. Let us not give up because God is always there to compass us towards the right direction. Glory to God!”

It is important to spread God’s word and salvation. Planting seeds daily to the world. It may not be through the first encounter that they will be reached. But those seeds will grow and will be ready for harvest in a future encounter with God. Do not be disheartened from being denied, for you are doing God’s will by witnessing to others. Let your light shine! Love them as God loves them!

Mark 4:26-29 (AMPC) 26 And He said, The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed upon the ground, 27 And then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows and increases—he knows not how. 28 The earth produces [acting] by itself—first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the grain is ripe and permits, immediately he sends forth [the reapers] and puts in the sickle, because the harvest stands ready.

ALL GLORY TO GOD! FOR IN MY WEAKNESS, GOD IN ME BECOMES STRONG!

Bishop Tony Poole, with students of Dunamis International Ministry of Evangelism, sharing an inspiring story of his profound saving faith

Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

ALL GLORY TO GOD! FOR IN MY WEAKNESS, GOD IN ME BECOMES STRONG

“I get a piece of every reaper’s harvest and you can too!” These are the words of Bishop Tony Poole as he shared the good news about Dunamis. Its apostolic ministry is training Bishops, Evangelists, Missionaries, Pastors and church leaders in using a simple yet effective soul-winning technique, that when flawlessly executed, can eventually win hundreds of thousands to millions of souls for the Kingdom of God.

Bishop Tony Poole gave a prophetic message that God will do mighty things in Pampanga and bring multitudes of souls to salvation. After hearing this astounding word, Bishop Danilo Amurao of Pampanga was just one of the many faithful servants of God to respond to this urgent call. “For the field is already white for harvest but the laborers are few”. This is why Bishop Danilo, after graduating from the Dunamis Stealth Evangelism class, immediately organized his church to train his first group of ten reapers and created a reapers club. Thereafter, he ordered thirty more pocket-sized soul-winning Bibles. So, he could also train three more batches of soul-winners in other churches that he had planted in Pampanga. During their respective practicums, his first batch won 472 souls, the second batch won 368 souls and the third batch won 356 souls. He has already scheduled a fourth batch for this week.

Bishop Danilo Amurao, after graduating from Dunamis Stealth Evangelism class, started training 4 batches of reapers clubs in churches under him

THANK YOU REMY: 11 YEARS OF DEDICATION AND SERVICE

Our class from August 6 to 9, 2024 included Pampanga’s Bishop Danilo Amurao together with his wife and friend as well as pastors and youth leaders from Cavite. Pastora Anna was the topnotcher for this class. All the harvesters were able to win many souls during the practicums. They also made new friends and enjoyed their stay during the 3 days at the mission center. The students were very grateful to Bishop Tony, his family and all the staff for the wonderful experience they had with us.

This was Pastora Remy Mordeno’s last batch to train. After more than 11 years of remarkable service to our apostolic ministry of training hundreds of evangelists and soul-winners, Remy decided to make an indefinite visit to the US. We are very grateful for her contributions in making the ministry reach its current heights, especially during our mobile trainings where we made trips to different cities, provinces and islands all over the Philippines.

GOD KNOWS YOUR NEEDS: SHOES!

Ephesians 6:15 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 

God knew what a couple of the participants needed. Just days before joining the class, Bishop Danilo Amurao received a gift of a new pair of shoes. He was very proud to be able to use them during the class and especially when he was graduating from Dunamis Stealth Evangelism. In addition, one of the youth leaders John Wynne received a much needed surprise during the class. He had experienced challenges while doing the practicums, because his old shoes got damaged while walking in the heat. The soles were literally following off his shoes. Mark was able to see it personally and told him that the Lord will reward him for doing the work of God. Soon after, he was all smiles and very happy when he received a gift of a pair of shoes from Bishop Tony.

Mark Christian Lagarile

GOD’S ANSWER TO HIS WORD: CHANGING OF THE GUARD

During the August training, Brother Mark Christian Lagarile was able to come back for a refresher class. He had originally taken the Dunamis Stealth Evangelism class back in November 2013. He had also volunteered as a monitor for a mobile training in Pasay City in April 2021. After Remy’s retirement, he volunteered to be part of our staff to help the ministry achieve its goals of fulfilling its mission and vision.  After just a few days, we could see he was God’s perfect fit to be brought on as fulltime staff. God had given us a word back in 2023, that He was bringing someone who could help us with launching the technology of the ministry into the future.
 
Brother Mark is poised to take Dunamis International into its next phase of reaching the nations with its innovative and powerful tools of evangelism, equipping God’s armies all over the world with these spiritual weapons of warfare to build the kingdom of God. He has started organizing our office and checking our inventory of equipment and materials including the database of our alumni students. He has also checked and provided suggestions to improve our website, social media accounts and some materials used in the training. He was also able to initiate new technology integration with our ministry, including the use of professionally-designed promotional posters, use of online registration forms after scanning QR codes, use of Google forms for registration, online interactive tests and use of GPS technology for outdoor practicums. He also initiated improvements in the training room facilities.  We added a smart tv, sound system with microphone and speakers, and rearranged the cabinets of files and books. He was also knowledgeable in operating our laptops and DSLR cameras, so we are able to make PowerPoint presentations, and have great photo and video coverage of our training. We were also able to set up our digital banking, Paypal, digital wallet to make it easier to receive payments and donations by just scanning QR codes.
 
Brother Mark was a freelance journalist for more than 15 years and his articles were published in major newspapers in the country. He also worked for 7 years as a technical support and customer service associate handling big tech international accounts. In addition, he is a website developer and a member of Toastmasters International. He was an undergraduate of journalism and information technology.

CLEAR GLIMPSES OF JESUS WITH KRYSTEL

It is hard to fathom from a natural standpoint to be joyful about a trial in your life. However, when it comes to God, you should be excited. Because, when you experience a trial, just understand that your faith is being tested to see if you are ready for something BIG to happen in your life. God wants to know are you ready, can you handle what He wants to give to you?  If you feel doubts, change those feelings. Pray and seek God, He will give you the wisdom, patience, and peace you need to get through. Get ready to have your life and mind BLOWN!!!

James 1:2-8 (Amplified) “Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].  And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind. For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides].”

John 4:36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. We are forever grateful to our dearest partners in this apostolic ministry for your unwavering and continuous support to inspire change and enable us to activate more soul-winners to reach more lost souls. You are the catalyst and fuel that God is using to rekindle the passion of soul winning in the hearts of our brothers and sisters in the Philippines. Thank you for sowing seeds into our ministry. Matthew 6:4 that your giving may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

Where do you work? “I own a girlie bar!”

For several years, while teaching my evangelism class, I would use the scenario of “the girlie bar response”. This was to help our students know how to handle that situation, when it comes up while they are out witnessing. First of all, when you’re talking with someone you don’t know and ask them a question like “Where do you work?” and they give you such a response, it is critical for you to have the right reply and composure! That person’s eternal life is at stake. If you flinch when they say that they own a girlie bar, or I’m a prostitute, or whatever that makes you flinch, it could destroy your opportunity to win them to the Lord.

Even though I have never had that particular scenario come up during a conversation, I was ready for it! And so it was, when Jun said in response to my question, “Where do you work?”, he said, “I owned a girlie bar”. I smiled and asked him another question, “Are you married?”. He said yes! “Do you have any children”, he said yes! Then, I asked him about their ages and if they were still in school. I changed the subject matter immediately after he said, “I owned a girlie bar”! We went on talking about his family and anything about his life but his girlie bar. About three to four minutes later, he prayed and asked Jesus to come into his heart!

It wasn’t about his sins, but it was about his relationship with our Lord Jesus! I see him, along with many other senior citizens in the area, often at the little restaurant that we both eat breakfast at. I thank God He showed me how to handle myself when a person reveals something so sensitive about themselves. I know years ago when I was younger and not well equipped, I would have attacked the sin or at least been knocked off balance with the response he made.

I’m saying to all of you reading this article that it’s very important that you share Jesus with them and what He says in the Bible about being born again. The verses I shared with him. We call it the 357 Magnum!  1st verse is John 3:3, Jesus talking, “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God”. Did you hear that? Jesus says unless you are born again you can’t see the Kingdom of God! 2nd verse, John 3:5 Jesus talking again, “unless you’re born of water (natural birth) and the spirit (that is born gain) he cannot enter the Kingdom of God”. Did you hear that? Unless one is born again, he cannot see and enter the Kingdom of God. Last verse, John 3:7, Jesus talking again, He says, “Marvel not that I say unto you, you must be born again”! Now, Jesus says in those three verses, unless you are born again, you cannot see, or enter the Kingdom of God and you must be born again!

The last question I asked Jun was this, “Would you like to be born again just as your Lord Jesus commands in His Holy Bible?”. Then, Jun said yes. I said to him, pray with me and he did.  The prayer was like this: “Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins and forgive me for leaving you out of my life. I open the door of my heart and I ask you to come into me. Lord Jesus, be Lord of my life. Thank you for saving me. Amen!”

I looked at Jun and asked him, “Where is Jesus right now?”.  He replied, while pointing at his heart, he’s in my heart! Jun, who is in his eighties, said he no longer owns the girlie bar. It closed during the Covid shut down. But praise the Lord, Jesus had prepared me to handle his open, abrupt response.

If you have read until this part and you need to be born again yourself, please pray the same prayer and send me a message to my email tcp1976@aol.com, if you prayed that same prayer, you are now born again, with the Holy Spirit living inside you. Just thank Jesus for saving you right now! If you have questions please contact me through my email address or call my international line at the following number 806-416-2313. If you will use a mobile phone your call to me from the US will be free. I would be glad to hear from you. God bless you all!
