Batch 2315
Angeles City Pampanga, Oct 26-28
It is considered a first class highly urbanized city but remains politically independent and is notoriously known for its high concentration of casinos and very vibrant nightlife for men, particularly for foreigners who love night clubs, bars and active night life (Red light districts). We call it sin city! With a population of over 450,000, it is also home for the majority of Chinese Filipinos and the rapidly growing Korean population.
The graduates of batch 2315 composed of pastors and leaders did a Jericho walk or prayer walk at the Walking Street which is the Red Light District to dedicate it to the Lord and declare salvation for all. The class was moved and committed that with the 357 Magnum Technique, revival will be sparked and many new believers won through the implementation of the Stealth Evangelism Program in their churches. The Pastors trust that with the new tool they learned from the Stealth Program, they can speed up the spread of the Gospel!
Bishop Billy, a church planter for many years is very happy to have learned the tool and upon graduation, God has given him the vision to organize a movement he named as R.I.S.E. Pampanga or Reaping Individual Souls Everywhere, which is after saturating Pampanga with the Gospel, his team will reach out to the whole nation and overseas.
Transformation from being shy to bold soul winner was one of the results from a majority of them who attended the program. Pastor Joel was so overwhelmed that the tool is effective and is unrejectable even with a Muslim. He even won his nephew (HeHe!).
Pastora Josielina was surprised that the tool also worked for the person who felt the absence of God in his life because of all the struggles and problems he is having. Every single graduate of this class were all amazed how powerful yet easy to present the tool and admitted having their biggest breakthrough in one on one evangelism.
God is indeed working and validating His Word during practicums with signs and wonders.
True enough, His power and presence manifested every time we equip and empower soul winners. I can declare too that those who sow to fuel this ministry will certainly experience God’s power and presence. Some can go into the mission field, others can give to support those who can go, but we all can pray for the mandate of the Great Commission. Nevertheless, whatever the role is, God can see our labor and He is a just rewarder.
Praise God forevermore,
Pastora Remy Mordeno
Note from Pastor Tony:
We are sorry that our newsletter is so late. We just returned from a trip to the US and spent six weeks which is very short, but we got to ,,./see many of you while we were there. Lord willing we will come again next year. It’s getting very important that we come back each year because we have 16 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren that we need to see at least once a year. Guys, it’s horrible when we go longer than that. You know what happens in a year, they grow like weeds in the field! Three of our grandchildren are here with us, but the rest live around Dallas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Amarillo, ahhh, you see the problem. We didn’t see them all this time, but we Praise God that we saw most of them. Pray for us to have the ability to return next year and our daughter Krystel wants to come over with her family. Levi and Wyatt have never been to the US, and Krystel has not been back in over 8 years. She wants to show off her hubby and son to everyone and is lonesome to see all her family and friends. Krystel is our bookkeeper and much more, she and Levi help with almost every aspect of this ministry. They are a major asset to Dunamis International Ministry of Evangelism. They’ve taken a huge load off Calli and I. They are wonderful missionaries and they need some support. Krystel is shy about asking for help, but they need some support. Levi works online with a Dutch Company as a translator, their income is 1,100 Euro a month. They have no hospitalization, no car, and not enough money for personal support. They do a lot of volunteer work for us and New Life Church here. They are missionaries and Calli and I don’t have the ability to pay them salaries. We just ask that you consider helping them. Remember the ox is worth his oats. They do live with us, and they can use the ministry’s car anytime they need it. That’s not what they need money for. They need money for food and school for Wyatt, clothes, you name it they will need it. I know their computer that Levi works on is getting ancient and needs replacing. If you want a good place to sow some seed please remember them. I know that if no one sows into them, that our faithful God will supply their needs according to His magnificent glory. We are giving you the opportunity to bless a couple of young missionaries and in turn be blessed yourself, Amen! You can go on line at www.dunamisinternational.org and sign up to give monthly support to them and be blessed yourself. Just hit the Donate button below!
Stay home,
I’m going to show you my ways instead of your own!
In 2006 Calli and I were getting ready to come back to the US and itinerate in churches for 3 months to raise the annual rent and some operating expenses. It was February when God told me to stay home. Two months later on April 30th, the day before the annual rent was due, I woke up that morning thinking about going out for coffee. I started looking for money, went through all my pockets then the petty cash box in our room, and there was not a peso or centavo anywhere in the room. I called down stairs and asked Calli if she had any money, she said, “No, I just paid the staff.” Then I asked her is there any money in the bank here, she said, “No, I withdrew it all yesterday to pay the staff.” Then I asked is there any money in our accounts in the states, she said “No, I wired all we had the other day to pay the staff!” Are you getting the picture, God told me to stay home and He would show me His ways instead of mine. It’s the day before I was supposed to pay the $18,500 annual rent, and there is not a penny in the house or the banks. I’ve never been so broke in my life. I sat there on the bed in my undies thinking, and all of a sudden it dawned on me that God was jerking my chain to see my reaction to this dilemma, He was playing a joke on me! I rolled off the bed and hit the floor laughing vehemently till my tummy hurt, probably 10 minutes or more. When I got up, I got dressed and took my credit card and went to the coffee shop and treated myself defiantly by laughing with respect and fun filled faith that God had my back and I didn’t have to be concerned. The next day it started with a missionary friend coming early that morning and he and another pastor from Sacramento, CA came to stay with us. We rented rooms at that time to help with mission overhead. When Pastor Dave came through the door he handed Three hundred dollars cash and said he would settle the bill when they leave in 2 weeks. Wow, now we had some cash! Two hours later I walked out in the back yard and Pastor Dave and Jerry were sitting at table drinking coffee. I brought my coffee out and sat down with them to visit and Dave said I called my office and had them wire $1,000 to your bank in Texas. Then Pastor Jerry reached in his pocket and pulled out a $500 check and gave it to me. I did not tell them anything about our situation. I don’t know to this day if someone told them something or the Holy Spirit revealed it to them. Anyway, Dave says I want a list of your partners with their phone numbers and I will call them for you while I’m here. He raised $12,000 for us in that two weeks. Then I was talking to a friend in Seatle, WA and she asked me if I had any needs, I told her yes and she asked, “What do you need?” I told her $15,000. She said without a flinch, “It’s done!” and she wired the funds to Amarillo for us. All total we had $28,500 given in two weeks and didn’t have to leave the country. God did exactly what he said he would do. If I had come and raised money for three months, we would have spent $5,000 on the trip and wouldn’t have grossed more than $25,000 so trusting the Lord was the better option! This is 17 years later and we have not itinerated in churches to raise support since that time. Let go and let God. We have lots of needs but it’s up to the Lord to fill the bread basket, it’s not our problem. We try to share with you about the needs of the school and so on but it’s better to listen to Him. We live by faith, our mission center is paid for, and our cars and everything here is paid for. But the ministry takes money to train the army of God and that is what we need help with. So please pray and ask the Lord about sowing into these pastors and leaders so that they can win the world for Jesus. The Great Commission is the greatest of all commissions because the souls of men are the only thing we can take to heaven with us.
I can tell you right now we need to raise our monthly support by at least $2,900.00 per month to be able to do pre-pandemic number of seminars, which was 32 seminars a year. The demand is higher, yet the cash flow to do that number is not there yet. This again is a real opportunity to build the kingdom of God with some of your resources that God has blessed you with, we pray that the Lord will speak to those that have an ear to hear this very month.
Today is the day of salvation my friends!
God bless you all abundantly,
Tony and Calli
Magpet, North Cotabato
Batch 2314
Sept 26-28
On Mindanao Island, 4 hours by bus from the airport is this next venue of the Class 2314 Stealth Evangelism! Population; heavy concentration of Muslims. DANGER? Obvious! 29 pastors and leaders began the training with an awesome result for the 3 day seminar.
These graduates had powerful testimonies and were very emotional in expressing their gratitude for having attended the training. They were able to do soul winning which they thought they could never achieve which is sharing Jesus to strangers in no time at all, especially Muslims. Marina claims she was surprised with her own results, being a shy believer, and shared to more than 30 souls which she has never achieved in her entire Christian journey. Having had a breakthrough in boldness from the beginning. One of the pastors was on the brink of leaving the ministry because of slow pacing of the growth of his church, but is now very determined and positive that in less than a year his church will grow like a weed using the 357 magnum technique. Potentially growing by many times his current congregation size.
The class braved the rains and were unstoppable in their practicums. They considered the rains as heaven blessing them as they fulfill the mandate. What a joy to serve the Lord through empowering these Pastors and leaders on the mandate (Great Commission Matt. 28:18-20) of our Chief Commander Jesus.
Praise the Lord,
Pastora Remy Mordeno
