With the devil trying to put the brakes on the world with the Chinese Pandemic, Dunamis International is BACK and kicking the devil’s butt! |
||
Pastor Tony was speaking at Tuesday Winners Pastors Meeting on September 22nd at the New Creation Church in Pasay, close to the American Embassy, Manila, Philippines. There were more than 20 pastors and a Bishop or two present to hear about the Stealth Evangelism Program and the upcoming seminar on October 6th at the New Dunamis Mission Center.
The pastors were inspired by the penetrating message concerning one on one evangelism in today’s modern church by training their leaders to train their members with the 357 Magnum Evangelism Technique which enables Christians to witness virtually undetected till it’s time to share the scriptures that will lead lost people to a saving knowledge of their Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, it is indeed a marvelous method of reaching a newly acquainted lost person with the Word of God in 5 to 6 minutes with a positive response from the majority of those that receive the message. Most of those attending signed up for the October 6th class. After the meeting Pastora Remy, Pastor Joel, and Pastor Tony returned to the mission center immediately because we had another seminar starting that evening and going for the next 3 days. It is so good to be up and running again even though we are still in a Pandemic Mode from Covid 19 here in Manila. Things are getting better but we are required to wear masks, and face shields, etc. when we are out. So far, we are all doing great! |

Second seminar since the pandemic!
|
||
The passion in these students blesses our souls! They won 357 people to the Lord, and it’s been raining every day from the beginning! They got out anyway and made it happen. Levi, our son in law took the class and won 50 people to the Lord during the practicums. We are so proud of him. The passion to win people to the Lord has really increased with the awareness of how fragile the human race is, because of the effects of the pandemic. I believe Christians are taking life less for granted! –Tony | ||

Levi’s Testimony |
||
I want to just tell you a little about myself. I was raised in Austria as an Evangelic A.B. Christian. Where I am from, Non-Denominational and Charismatic beliefs are not well known about. I knew about God, but didn’t fully know Him. It wasn’t until I met my wonderful, beautiful and now wife Krystel that the world was changed for me. My heart was forever opened and changed in August 2016 after being on the receiving end of the Magnum 357 presentation from my future father-in-law. At this point, my relationship with God began to grow. My wife and I got married on May 27, 2017 and we began our life together in Austria. In November 2018, we felt impressed by God to move our soon to be growing family to the Philippines. So under God’s direction, I moved my family in April 2019 across the world. God was definitely stretching me with this move in ways I didn’t fully know as of yet. During the first year, we were focused on helping my father-in-law with finishing the building of the mission center and with my wife’s pregnancy and birth of our son Wyatt. Then the pandemic and lockdowns began. But even in the midst of all the chaos, God was with us. We have been able to help my parent-in-laws with the everyday running and bookkeeping of the mission center. Then, once the lockdown was lifted enough for us to have classes in the new building, I jumped at the chance to finally be able to join one.
I may not be a pastor (“yet”), however, this class was an amazing experience for me. I had read and learned about the Bible during my years in school. Sadly though, I was not taught how to understand specific parts of it. The first day of the workshop and practicum was a struggle for me, because this was all so new. But I knew I could do better and I prayed to the Lord to lead and help me. During the second practicum, I could feel God guiding me in what to say as I felt the words just fall into place. For me, it was the right decision to take this class. It helped me to not just learn how to reach people for Jesus, but it also helped me grow closer to Him and meet new people. I know God has something great in store for me and my family. |

One of the ladies in the class had wanted to be baptized. Since, I hadn’t had the opportunity before, I felt it was in God’s timing that I should also be baptized. God definitely had a plan for me this week. I rejoice in that I followed his lead! |

A note from Dad and Mom about Krystel and Levi! |
||
Krystel is our bookkeeper, and Levi her husband has been helping me with the building of the mission center. They are both fully committed missionaries and feel a call to serve this awesome ministry. Now that Levi has begun to understand the seminar we teach, I fully expect him to be a great asset in future classes as a monitor both here in Manila and as we do more mobile missions on other islands.
I want to personally appeal to our partners and friends, and those that know Krystel and Levi around the world as their friends and loved ones, that you would consider partnering with them in this ministry. They have no income to serve the Lord, yet they have been here serving us without an income for the last 1 ½ years. They have a place to stay in the center, but no income except the savings they brought with them. They are viable to this ministry and have really helped Calli and I daily taking work off our shoulders. This is good ground as you have read in their testimony above. Please help them stay with us, we need them, they are a blessing to Dunamis! You can click the “Donate Now” button below and give monthly to them through Revival Fire Ministries International which is our non-profit 501C-3 and all gifts to them will be tax deductible in the U.S. Make sure and note on your gift that it is for them. Your support will be so affirming to them. |

“Note from Pastor Tony” |

This has been a busy month, starting up the school again after being shut down since last March. We’ve had two small classes of 6 and 9 students. Limited in size because of the Covid rules that have still been in place. Most of them were pastors and missionaries here. We have another class on October 6th that will be 16 or more. They will nearly all be pastors and one Bishop. The momentum is building again, for we are getting requests for mobile missions on the Islands south of here. I believe we will be able to start the mobile seminars in Nov. or Dec. God willing!
I can tell you this, it is important that we have some much needed financial partners soon. The Mission Center and everything is paid for here, but after the completion of the building of the center we were left with $71,000 in debt. That is now down to about $60,000 total. The pandemic has had an effect on us as it has on y’all in the states. I feel deeply that there is an amazing thing happening here in the body of Christ. There is so much desire for this training from pastors. I can feel it, that this global pandemic has awakened pastors and leaders that they need to evangelize. People are aware of our frailties as human beings on this earth, because of what this pandemic has done. People are no longer taking life for granted. We mustn’t let this time pass without changing our whole direction as Christian leaders. It is time to bring it! We must use our collective capabilities to reach out to the world with the Gospel. Dunamis has a unique opportunity to train pastors and leaders here in the Islands to evangelize using the body of Christ to do one-on-one evangelism. You can sow financial seed into Dunamis International School of Evangelism and know that all your seed will be planted into the souls of men. We cannot take anything with us when we die except the souls of men. Help us to build the Kingdom of God through equipping the leadership of the Church with the weapons of warfare. That is, evangelism tools for today’s world. Go on our website and read our newsletters that are posted and you can see what we are doing. The devil tried to destroy this ministry 4 ½ years ago and couldn’t do it. We have risen from the ashes to continue to destroy the kingdom of darkness in men’s souls. Become a partner and share in the reaching out with the Gospel to all the nations of the world that we can get to. You can click on the “Donate now” button and sign up today to support this ministry that the devil hates with a passion. Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in this world! We can reach this world together. You can’t out give God, when you give it shall be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you! (Luke 6:38) Do I hear and Amen? Love you all so much and miss everyone, Tony and Calli PS- It’s been too long since we’ve been able to come to the states! We are home sick for our friends and family! Hugs! |

From Pastora Remy |

Oh yes, I am too excited to see God’s power shining through this class. I was expectant of mighty things from this batch of pastors and leaders. The Stealth Evangelism Program proved to itself to becoming more fierce in this class with the profile of the passionate attendees and of course we had Levi, the son-in-law of the Founder who is non-Filipino speaking for a Filipino mission field. We had warriors of God advancing the Kingdom of God and were fearless in depopulating hell thru the 357 Magnum witnessing technique. The language barrier was not an issue, neither overcoming the difficulty of transportation of the students coming to the Mission Center to be trained. Age was not a challenge nor a hindrance, and all the rain and the scorching heat of the sun was not a problem for these warriors.
Nothing would stop them from doing the 4 two hour practicums. Almost 400 new souls were led to the Lord, and there were 2 water baptisms. The Holy Spirit class done by Pastor Tony fueled their raging fire to saturate the whole nation with the Gospel. It was an evening to reckon with as God demonstrated His amazing power. Truly, at such a time as this, there is more urgency in bringing hope to the hopeless thru the Good News of Salvation. And Yes! COVID is real!!! Christ Overcomer and Victorious even In Death!!!Thank you Lord!!! Thank you Dunamis International School of Missions, thank you for the 357 Magnum Technique! Satan is surely defeated and we raise the banner of Jesus in victory!!!! In Christ, Ptra Remy Mordeno John 3:3,5,7 Jesus says, “unless a man be born again, he cannot see or enter the Kingdom of God, and you MUST be born again!” |

August 2020 Newsletter

Second rice give away
|
||
We just had our second rice giveaway to one of the depressed communities that are not far from us. Thank you for your generous giving that made this possible! | ||
1. We started with buying 21 – 50 kilo bags of rice. That’s over 2,300 pounds total! Then we took them home and broke them down into 105 –10 kilo bags (aprox 22 lbs each) to give away to 105 families in need. |
||
2. Even little Wyatt had wanted to get involved with the process! Though it took most of the day, it seemed to go smoother than last month. We were able to streamline it somewhat since it was our second time around! |
||
3. Now all the bags were loaded into the truck ready to head out to the depressed area we were going to focus on this time. Calli had to stay home with Wyatt because children aren’t allowed to get out right now except for emergencies. |
||
4. When we arrived we were welcomed with a sign and lots of smiles. Tony is here above with Boyet (in red) he’s been our welder on the mission center (We nicknamed him Michael Angelo because he is so talented and creative.) He was our contact into this neighborhood and got us connected with Rodel Digno (on the right) He is the vice president of this community, Digno Compound. |
||
5. Pastor Tony first brought all the people that had gathered together and gave a short message and led all of them to the Lord that hadn’t yet received Jesus. We had nearly a hundred people pray to receive the Lord Jesus into their hearts. |
||
6. Then straight away we began to pass out all the bags of rice. Boyet had worked with the community and made sure everyone had a claim ticket ahead of time so it all went smoothly. Everyone was happy and no one was left out! They kept coming up to me after the short service and during the rice give away and thanking us for coming and sharing. It’s really good that they were appreciative of receiving Jesus along with being given the rice! Praise the Lord! It really warms our hearts to see the look in their faces, it always gets me! |
||
Thank you for sharing! |
||
Those of you that sowed the funds to do this rice give away share in the salvation of all the lost that received the Lord. Close to a hundred were saved. What a way to spend Sunday morning! Thank you all so much from those that received the Lord and those that received some much needed food. That’s over 20lbs of rice per family! When you see these very poor senior citizens come up and take a bag, it puts tears in your eyes.
We are going to continue to do these giveaways as long as there is money to do it. This area has another 300 families we need to get to.and it takes nearly a thousand dollars to buy the rice and the bags to put the rice in. We save some by buying in bulk and breaking it down. We would like to have enough money to buy a few cans of tuna and sardines for the families to go with the rice, but we haven’t yet received enough to do that. To remind y’all these families have been in quarantine for almost four months, some have finally been able to go back to work, but the majority don’t have jobs and it’s hard to get clearance, so they are really struggling. For those of you that give a gift of $500 or more we are sending you a portrait of Jesus that my daughter Felicity had drawn before she was killed in the fire in Feb. 2016. The full story of those miracle prints is on our website at www.dunamisinternational.org under the June 2020 newsletter. Please read it if you’re interested in receiving one of those precious prints. It really was a miracle that they survived the fire, just burned around the edges. Y’all not everyone can give $500 or more but whatever you give, God will multiply it back to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. But the big bang is the blessing of being a part of 100 or so newly born again souls and the awesome impact of feeding God’s people out of the abundance God has given you. What a wonderful blessing it is! Thank you all for making it possible for us to continue to reach the lost and the desperate and hungry people here in the Philippines! |

Changing of the guards! |
||
As we informed you in the last online newsletter, Johnny and Sherry Taylor, who have been faithfully helping us handle our U.S. office for the last two and a half years, are starting a new chapter in their lives. They are trimming down and going to be doing more travelling and had to step down from handling our office in Amarillo. We thank them so much for all their help and service! We will greatly miss them, but at the same time we are so excited about the new adventure they are embarking on. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Johnny and Sherry. We love you so much!
As we said, when one door closes the Lord always opens a new one! So we are happy to introduce you to another one of our partners, Buffy Reitz. She has volunteered to take over the U.S. office for us. Please join us in asking the Lord to richly bless her time and effort as she assumes this responsibility. May it always be a blessing and joy in her life to help us keep in touch with you all, our friends and partners! Thank you, Buffy for hearing and following the call of the Lord to step into this much needed role. God is so good! Big blessings with abundance for every good work! Tony and Calli |
