Seminar: God’s battleground against mindsets debilitating the Great Commission! |

We originally set up a seminar Batch 126 in Carcar, Cebu but we were unable to get all the details ironed out so the training standard could be maintained, we had already bought our plane tickets and all of sudden another opportunity developed in Lapu Lapu City, Cebu even closer to the airport and they could comply with our standard of training. In a 2 week period of time Ptr Jimmy Casinillo of Lapu Lapu was able to coordinate with his network of pastors and organize a training of Stealth Evangelism at his church CITY LIGHT Church as the venue. We had 29 pastors and leaders finish the course, which we considered God’s Remnant, and we had several of God’s Generals or church planters from that area attend.
The first day was difficult and challenging as you can feel the air of superiority complex among the pastors, most of whom were highly educated. It is difficult to put something in to a glass already filled up and they don’t want to make room for something new. Challenging because the diversity and complexity of mindsets etc. among the classmates needed to be synchronized and be in tune with the mandate of the Lord as their top priority. It appears that God’s Great Commission had long been abandoned and was taken as of least importance. Honestly the devil in weaving his web, manages to convince many of the leaders in the body because of fear of rejection and lack of preparation that evangelism is elementary once they step into their pastoral roles in the body of Christ. These are the mindsets that we try to deal with and break off these awesome leaders and pastors. This debilitation of the Great Commission is going on all over the world. Our seminars help pastors identify these debilitating problems in our leadership worldwide. On the last day, 4 practicums were completed but the results were below average, only 5 met the required 30 presentations. The Lord impressed on me to give them a 5th practicum (which we have never done), we extended the duration of the seminar to another half day. They agreed and God touched them and spoke to them to comply. Alas, the remaining 24 people went on to complete the requirements with a total of 885 presentations and won 1,113 precious souls to the Lord. Praise the Lord Jesus! Pastor Ruben Cadavos, retorted that attending the Stealth Evangelism is like raising him from the dead as this seminar resulted to awaken and revive his passion to share the Gospel. Make sure and read his powerful testimony in this newsletter. In every seminar the Holy Spirit is our counselor and brings these things to the surface for precision surgery by the great physician. Halleluia! |

Suicide averted during practicum! | ||||
The highlight of this batch was a young man under a bridge in heavy rains was found by our students and the Gospel was shared to him. He was contemplating on committing suicide as his wife and children had left him, he hadn’t eaten in several days, and he couldn’t even find his mother. This student brought him to the church and called her friends to ask clothes and food for him. Isnt it amazing that without the practicum, this man could have been dead, but now he has eternal life. What a bonus from the Lord!
Truly all ended well despite the odds. The hand of God is always at work. Glory to God forever and ever…Amen Pastora Remy Mordeno |

A note from Pastor Tony! | ||||
Our role in the end times harvest is critical worldwide and we need more support monthly to train these wonderful men and women of God everywhere we can. There are so many Cities, and Provinces that the Pastors are asking us to come do mobile seminars. The list keeps building every month and we have bookings up into November and could be more if we had the funds to do them. Every time we do a seminar there are more than a thousand people getting saved sometimes several thousand and that is just the beginning because every church we impact creates a perpetual stream of new souls every month running like a river into the church. Each seminar impacts many churches. You can be a partner and share in the building of the Kingdom of God by sowing into these precious pastors training. It takes $1,200 to $1,500 per seminar and we do at least two mobiles or more monthly. They are going to get more costly in the future because the demand is increasing and I will need a couple of more staff to go with us each time due to the increased size of the group. Please think about taking thousands of souls to heaven with you when you leave. They are the only thing you can take to heaven. There’s no better way to win souls than to multiply the number of soul winners worldwide. So, please come on board with us so we will never have to say we can’t come!

“It was like being raised from the dead!” | ||||
Pastor Ruben Cadavos
The impact of this training is like being born again for the second time. When I accepted the Lord in my life 21 years ago I was on fire to share the Gospel to anyone when I have an opportunity. When I “grew up” in my Christian faith, the burning desire to share the Gospel started to decline or being intentional in sharing the Gospel especially now that I have so many responsibilities to attend to, being a husband, a father and a pastor. My attitude towards The Great Commission became a second priority. Attending Stealth Evangelism is like raising me from the dead. The simple but very effective method in sharing the Gospel awakened my enthusiasm to share the Gospel as a lifestyle not an option. The simple way of presenting the Gospel gives me more confidence and skill to present Christ to anybody anytime anywhere! I believe this tool will make our church/ministry/congregation upside down and will never be the same church as before but a vibrant church that will radiate the glory of Christ!

“I thought I knew this!” | ||||
Pastor Jimmy Casinillo
I’ve been a pastor for many years already and directly involved in training leaders for evangelism and discipleship. Our church is actively involved in winning and disciple-making and aiming to multiply a multitude of leaders. With this experience and outlook deep within is the temptation to think that I don’t need any training as far as evangelism is concerned, at all; “I knew this” I said to myself. However God is so persistent in telling me to join, not observe, the training. And I did. To my amazement I realized I am only good at telling people what to do and how to do it from my own perspective. After the training, however, God did change my heart. I will be able and am now able to train my leaders and other pastors later, not just from my own insights or understanding but powerfully coming from my direct and personal winning experiences through Magnum 357. Praise the Lord! |

US Trip August 16 – September 14 | ||||
Calli and I will be coming to the US on Aug. 16. We are coming to see family and friends and attend the Kingdom Global Ministries – World Connect Conference on August 29 in Dallas. We would like to thank KGM Larry and Devi Titus for making arrangements with a special partner to pay for the flight, food, accommodations for the Conference. A very special thanks to the special partners for giving us this opportunity to come back and receive the love and hugs that we were unable to receive after the tragedy of the loss of our precious daughter Felicity Anne Privado and the burning down of Dunamis International Mission Center. We need some hugs ya’ll! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! | ||||

Remember, “Crosses for Krystel!” | ||||
As I mentioned in last month’s newsletter, when we come back to the US our daughter Krystel is coming with us for the first two weeks, visiting friends and family. I am trying to plan a little surprise for her and need your help.
Krystel had a collection of crosses around her room before the fire. She had collected them throughout her life. (She also likes to wear different crosses on chokers.) Many were given to her by friends and family at different times for different occasions. They were all consumed by the fire, save a couple that were hard enough metal, now they are just changed by the fire (Just like us!) Please pray about it and if the Lord leads, look for a cross that you could give her if we come your way. Please don’t tell her ahead of time, I’m trying to surprise her, and that’s hard to do! If we aren’t able to see you this trip and you want to join in anyway, you can mail it to our office in Amarillo with a little note to her. Revival Fire Ministries International, PO Box 30487, Amarillo, TX 79120. I know this will mean so much to her. She has lost so much in her life, including her sister Felicity and her pal Gracie her dog, but remains strong in the Lord no matter what. God bless you all and thank you so much! Love you, Calli |
