There’s just no time!
Wherever I go on earth, no matter what group of people I talk to, these statements, “There’s just no time” or “I don’t have time” are two very common statements that people make about many things. Why do you think 9 out of 10 people are lost in the world today? Is it because they don’t have time to be saved? That’s probably not out of the question is it? There’s another equally engaging answer to that question and that is that we don’t have time to win them to the Lord. Anyone want to argue that point? If you do, then tell me why you think only 1 out of 10 people are saved on this earth. That’s right you don’t know! I believe first of all that we as Christians for the most part don’t know what to say to the lost and that is why we have an innate fear of rejection. Remove the reason for the fear and all of sudden people start getting saved all over the place.It’s really quite simple when you think about it. Most of us think we can’t win souls because we are shy etc. Shyness is an insecurity in building relationships. We don’t know what to say and we don’t want to appear insecure or not so smart, so we tend to evade relationship building. It’s my contention that if we would learn to build relationships by simple conversation with people around us by showing an interest in them that we could overcome our shyness. Over the last 11 years we have seen breakthroughs in people’s lives in that area, time and again. Probably 90 to 95% of the people that take the Stealth Evangelism Class discover a breakthrough in their self-confidence just from developing relationships with total strangers on the street and in their everyday life. This is a Glory of God when you go from being extremely shy to a very outgoing person in such a short period of time. One of the big keys I’ve seen is the ability to start caring about other people genuinely enough to reach out to total strangers desiring earnestly to know something about them. When we don’t care, we never try to learn about anyone else but ourselves. It’s so easy to start asking simple questions about an individual we strike up a conversation with. Like, “Do you live around here?” “Where do you work?” “What is your job with them?” “How long have you been doing that?” “Are you married and do you have any children?” etc. When we are asking someone questions like that it builds a relationship with them. They can see we are interested in them. People like to talk about themselves and they like people who are genuinely interested in them. Building a relationship with someone is the first step to reaching them for Jesus!
Many of us want to win souls, want to be a part of reaching the unreached, but are not willing to step out of our comfort zone in order to accomplish it. The comfort zone is probably one of the most formidable weapons that Satan uses on us to prevent us from being used by God to build His Kingdom. When we do a seminar at pastors meetings, one of the things that I warn pastors of is being too busy for the Great Commission in Matt. 28:19. The reason many of us don’t or won’t take the time to be trained in evangelism is because we were first inoculated with difficult, hard to learn, low results getting, soul winning tools that sometimes even destroy relationships as they are being used. Who wants to pick up and use a tool that will drive a wedge between us and our friends, relatives, and new acquaintances that we’re trying to develop a relationship with. That, my friends, is the ultimate reason that the Stealth Evangelism Program is so unique and user friendly. It’s designed for the end times harvest to reach out to the multitudes and a powerful weapon in the hands of the everyday believer that wants to win souls. When we use this tool, we can stay under the radar of the individual and not alarm them or offend them, and ultimately share what Jesus says in the Bible about being born again. When they hear what He says, they will want to be born again themselves, yeah!!!!!
So, tomorrow, start a new chapter in your life by talking with a total stranger, or someone you have seen in your daily life and never have actually talked to them in any depth. Strike up a simple conversation with them about who they are and go from there. You will probably find this very much fun and it will improve your self- confidence with people. Hopefully in the coming year we will have our Stealth Evangelism Training Program on video and booklet form so you can train yourself to win the lost with ease. Once you have built a relationship with someone for 2 to 3 minutes you are only 2 minutes away from praying a prayer of salvation with them using the 357 Magnum presentation in the Stealth Evangelism Program. Wow! is the word and we hear it all the time! Amen?
Love you all,
Pastor Tony Poole

in Santiago City which was hard because it was at least
an hour drive each way, coming & going.
Students from Isabella Bible College witnessing in Santiago City.
12 Hour Bus ride to Isabela
We just completed a 3 day seminar at the Isabela Church of God Theological College. It was a quite an experience traveling by bus for 12 hours up to Northern Luzon. Along with my training team Pastora Sonia San Pedro and Pastora Elaine Pizana (Those ladies are so gifted in this ministry) we went there to train Bible school students that are preparing for the ministry. Most will pastor churches when they graduate. It was a wonderful opportunity to plant the seeds of Evangelism in those missiles of God that will be launched all over the Philippines and the world.It’s a little different than training pastors that are already pastoring churches, but we didn’t treat them any different and expected the same due diligence from all aspects of the lectures, tests, workshop, practicums, etc. The students were from 17 to 26 years old. When I was teaching it felt like pulling teeth at times for me, and probably for the students also! They started having breakthroughs on Thursday where they were getting over their innate fear of rejection. The Lord was replacing it with the boldness of lions. HAHA! They went from being very quiet and not too responsive to very excited and very aggressive! We see this transition happen in every class of students. It really makes it worthwhile as instructors when you see such transformations. Guess what? The old adage, “No pain! No gain!” really applies in a very special way to these wonderful young men and woman of God! They, like so many thousands that we have planted the seeds of evangelism in through the last 11 years, came through it, graduated, and will never be the same again. Their future churches have potential greatness in the Kingdom of God. I know in my heart that we made a difference in their lives and destinies. Praise the wonderful name of Jesus! Thank you all for the support you are giving, whether in prayer or financial, you are making a difference in so many people’s lives.
“Hungry Hearts to Reach More Souls”
Karen Grace Salvador
I thank God for this wonderful evangelism experience. It’s great that we’ve learned the 357 Magnum soul winning technique as an evangelism strategy. It boost up my self confidence in building relationships with strangers or people I don’t know, especially with lost people. It helped me a lot to get through the barriers or hindrances that we encounter while witnessing to the lost. With the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit nothing is impossible that we attempt in the winning of men’s souls.
The practicums gave us the hunger in evangelizing the lost people to lead them to Christ. It fired our desire for this ministry. And with this exposure, our fear of rejection and nervousness came down. We felt beautiful joy as we witnessed them accepting the Lord Jesus Christ in their hearts. I realize that many people are waiting outside for me to reach them and that a one hour practicum is not enough. Soul winning is a way of life. One of our experiences was encountering many religions, but that doesn’t matter as long as you are implementing the 357 Magnum technique flawlessly. As we evangelized we never felt the hunger of our physical stomach. Instead we felt our hungry hearts to reach more souls. We also made many new friends in the street.
Thank also for Pastor Tony Poole & his co pastors in inspiring us for this great ministry for the Lord.
May God Bless you more! Karen Salvador

and with Pastor Tony at graduation.
Effective end time harvesters!
Pastor William Fernandez, Jesus the Word of Life Ministry, Inc., San Mariano, Isabela, PhilippinesFirst of all, I would like to thank our Lord Jesus for bringing this ministry, Dunamis International School of Missions, to our beloved nation to cater the Filipino pastors and church leaders by training us to be effective end time harvesters for the glory of God. Though at first I was hesitant to come to the three day seminar because of my many commitments in the church and family, I was able to attend. Praise God!
I attended this training because it is a rare kind of training about soul winning. I have attended a lot of seminars and conferences. Mostly about leadership, transformation, end time event and many others but a school for evangelism is really rare.
This training has developed me to be able to share the Gospel in the easiest way, and to reach more souls because of the techniques we learned.
Now I think if I go out of my house, I will see to it that I will win lost souls for Christ. I saw the needs of many souls and I am now ready to be an end time harvester. One-on-one evangelism is now easy, very personal and joyful!
I believe that my church will grow spiritually and numerically. Church planting can be done in just a few months because I am now more confident and ready to witness for Christ and train my members to do the same. I also believe that the graduates of Dunamis should support this ministry as we are able. Especially in the future as our churches are growing.
Again thank you very much for this great tool you’ve shared with us.
God bless you more!!!
Together in Christ’s service,
Rev. William Fernandez

“This training will help a lot
of our local churches”
Pastor Cirilo D. Juan, Paranaque Iemelie Central Church, Paranaque CityWhen I first heard about Dunamis International School of Missions last July or August 2013 I said to myself, “I will share this with my fellow pastors and encourage them to attend the training.” In our workers fellowship last August I announced the training and asked them to list their names but only two responded positively. The first training date was postponed because of flood but when we decided to continue more pastors were able to attend. God indeed blessed us with this tool of Stealth Evangelism. My expectation was to improve my soul winning program not only for myself but to other churches within Manila-South where I am presently assigned.
I do believe this training will help a lot of our local churches. By the help of our monitors and our teacher, Pastor Tony Poole, I was able to take courage in one-on-one evangelism and am now very confident that wherever I am and whosoever I am with, I can win people to Christ. My love for souls is renewed.
Through Stealth Evangelism I can easily motivate the church leaders and members to do the same after they have completed Dunamis’ Stealth Evangelism training.
