General Santos City ignited with
new fire of evangelism
as the Stealth Program unfolds!
Our mobile training in General Santos City on Mindanao Island had 27 pastors with different stories to share as a result of taking the Stealth Evangelism Program. They won 1,113 souls to the Lord.

The host pastor, Pastor Nelson was challenged to complete the practicum since he said it is a shame if he himself will not be able to graduate without 30 required presentations. During his 3rd practicum he spent till late evening at the hospital and on the last practicum he had no choice but to witness to his neighbors as part of the last exercise. He won His neighbor for 20 years and his neighbors were crying after receiving the Lord as their savior. Imagine, if he had not done the practicum, he may have never led his neighbors to the Lord!

Pastor Jayvee declared that he started to fall in love with winning souls as he never imagined it could be so easy as ABC!

Pastor Argy, a new church planter was on the brink of losing hope to plant a church, but he has now affirmed to move forward with his task of planting a church through the Stealth Program and he plans to develop or train an evangelism team to assist him.

Pastor Florenicito declared that the seminar affirmed his wife and his desire to plant another church for the Lord. They realized the need to share the Gospel in an undetected and spontaneous way, because of the friendly, inoffensive approach of Stealth Evangelism!

Pastor Ben of Word for Everyone Church, under boxing champion Senator Manny Pacquiao, is so thankful as he considered this seminar as God’s answer to his prayer. They are building a new church with 3,000 capacity and is now positive that they will be able to fill it with people won by the 357 Magnum technique. They are going to help schedule another larger seminar later this summer or early fall.

All of them declared they had a breakthrough and were given hope that the churches they are now handling will be able to grow exponentially using the 357 magnum technique and the Stealth Program. All their teams being trained in their respective locations are ready to attack.

Miracles Galore in Polomolok South Cotabato
I am so blessed to be able to take part in Polomolok South Cotabato Stealth Evangelism Program where God’s power is visibly seen strongly working. Who would believe that the illiterate and uneducated will be equipped and empowered to learn to flawlessly present the 357 Magnum technique? And who would believe that there is no language barrier though the pastors attending spoke 4 different dialects, so different from the dialect we used, and yet the Holy Spirit was able to make them understand the Cebuno language, which is not their own common dialect, and which is also not the dialect of Pstora Rose our trainer. Yet, she was able to teach fluently using that dialect? YES, with God nothing is impossible! A total of 818 souls won by the 29 pastor attendees, who all came from the tribes, Tboli and Blaan, who are called the indigenous people of that area on Mindanao Island. Most of them were illiterate, and could not read English, and yet they were all able to use the Soulmate Bible which is in English during the Practicums???? Glory to God! God is at work, and in full power!!

Venjo, from the Blaan tribe won 32 souls. He does not know how to read or write, more so, does not read English, yet he is flawless in his presentation.

Pastora Wilma, of the Tboli tribe, and only grade three educated, is surprised and amazed that she is able to communicate to senior citizens, police officers and even muslims, who are not part of their tribe. In broken Filipino language, mixed with her own dialect, she won them all! She gained a new confidence in sharing the Gospel and found it so easy and simple.

This batch had a very beautiful worship with the presence of God so thickly felt. This and their passionate hearts were the main reasons for their victory in conquering the lowland as they came from their homes in the highlands/mountains.

Now, it can be told, even the lowest educated people can learn the 357 magnum. No bounds, no limits, no regions, no language barrier, nor muslim/any religion could ever silence the 357 magnum. As they climb back to the mountains where they originated, they are bringing their weapons taken from the Stealth Evangelism Program, which is so light yet powerful and never misses a target!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER! – Pastora Remy

Team Dunamis
I am so proud of my team: (right) Pastora Remy Modeno,
(left) Pastora Rose Zanoria, and (center) Pastor Al Regis.

Note from Pastor Tony!

 The group from the mountain tribes in Cotabato was the most challenging seminar we have ever done. Considering that most of the pastors couldn’t read or write and had to memorize the 357 Magnum Technique basically in a language not their own, we had 27 of the 29 pastors that had been trained, become flawless in their presentation which means they were perfect in it. We’ve never had that many attendees in one seminar that perfected the tool. This was a miracle of God. Pastor Remy told me of the tremendous passion those pastors had to learn the technique. To God be all the Glory! We saw many miracles unfold in this seminar. Thanks to my unbelievable team that went into this perilous area (They would not allow Calli and I to travel there because of the high risk to foreigners!) and were facilitators of God’s Program to His Pastors that were so appreciative of us bringing it.

Plans continue on the construction
of the new mission center
We are currently working on the plans for the construction of the New Mission Center here in Manila. I believe we may get started in the next 30 days, yet we have already done a lot of preparation in picking out the materials etc. that will be used. It’s difficult, yet the working on it kind of helps get our mind off the tragedy and work on rising out of the ashes of destruction to come shining more beautiful and functional than ever. The Lord promises us beauty for ashes in Isaiah 61, so we are standing on the Word of God and believing for it!

Thank you all for your continued support and love and prayers for all of us and this awesome ministry. If you would like to support the training of these wonderful pastors you can go on line and set up a monthly support or even one time gifts that will help us take the training to the Islands that need it and can’t afford to come to us in Manila. Each month we do 1 to 3 mobile seminars. So, your support in any amount would be appreciated by us, but more importantly you are sowing into the harvest of souls on a grand scale and it’s perpetual or never ending. They just keep on evangelizing the rest of their lives and you get a piece of all they do. Yes, Amen!

Love you all, Tony, Calli & the Dunamis team

Tony & Calli with Evelyn
Tony & Calli with Evelyn,
our new friend and sister in the Lord!
Meet one of the “Beautiful Souls”
the Lord had shown to me!
I mentioned in April’s newsletter (see the reprint below*) the Soul Mate Bible we salvaged from the fire that I placed in my purse. Well here is one of those beautiful souls I saw coming to the Lord through it! Her name is Evelyn. We met her when she advertised some furniture for sale on-line. (Tony and I are searching for bargains to refurnish the mission Center after the fire.)

We not only purchased a few pieces of her furniture but more importantly were blessed to lead her to Jesus! She is such a precious lady. She was recently widowed when her husband passed away this January. So we all identified with each other in our grieving process. We have been back to see her several times and the last time we were there she gave Tony some of her husband’s shirts. Wow what a needed blessing! Tony gave her the Soul Mate Bible that I talked about in the last newsletter, the one we used to lead her to the Lord.

*Reprint from April’s E-mail
“Note from Calli: When I heard the words that He will give us beauty for ashes, He reminded me of the Soul Mate Bible I had just opened up and wiped the ashes from inside it, pulling the pages apart so I
could put it in my purse ready to be used. I saw all the beautiful souls coming to Jesus through this very Bible the Lord brought through the fire. The enemy thought he would crush us (which he did), but instead he’s just caused us to dig in and go on with more strength and power than ever (God’s perfect strength). Don’t get me wrong, the grief is still there, coming in waves. But with it now I can also feel the Lord bringing us through it, carrying us through it, because I don’t think we would have had the strength to walk through this. Praise the Lord we don’t have to, His grace IS sufficient!”

General Santos City
Arial view of General Santos, Mindanao
Two Mobile Seminars on the same trip to Mindanao
First in General Santos Citythen Polomolok, Southern Cotabato
JUNE 1-8, 2016
Pastors in Polomolok, South Cotabato have been requesting Stealth evangelism for almost a year now, but at their current financial status they could not pursue it. They are not able to afford the cost of transportation to and from the venue and the registration fee. But the opportunity has come that we were going to the neighboring province, to General Santos City.

So we were happy to announce to them that we are going to extend our stay past the General Santos seminar and travel by bus over to Polomolok and bring the seminar to them in their own city, totally free. There will be more than 50 pastors attending this most awaited training in Cotabato. In both of these 2 provinces, meals and materials will be provided by Dunamis.

Pastors from South Cotabato are doing their ministry in the mountains and are part of the Tboli tribe who can hardly support their own ministry but with this training, they have a glimpse of hope that there will be a significant impact/breakthrough in their ministries through perpetual evangelism in their churches.
These are very impoverished pastors that we want to help by bringing the training at no cost to them. Polomolok is 35% Islam and 57% Roman Catholic. With this training they can win their province and turn things around.

General Santos City is the birthplace of renowned boxer Manny Pacquiao. It has a 538,000 population (2010 census) and is predominantly Catholic, with only 8% Protestants. We are so excited to be able to impact both these regions with the Stealth Evangelism Program. We expect many thousands to be saved during these trainings. Please help us financially with these projects. They will cost us around $2,700 total including the air and bus fares for my staff and cost of materials, food, etc. You can sow into thousands of souls by helping support these seminars. Just designate Gen San & Polomolok on your gift. Thank you in advance from all the pastors that will attend and all the souls that will be saved.

Philippine Map Negros Occidental
STEALTH EVANGELISM TRAINING
IN NEGROS OCCIDENTAL
June 15-17, 2016
 A graduate of Stealth Evangelism in the recently concluded training in Cebu City has organized 100 pastors in Negros Occidental.  Amazed with the  impact it gave him when he took the training, Daryll Calambro travelled 6 hours from Cebu to encourage Negros Occidental pastors to  undergo the 357  Magnum Training. Predominantly a Catholic region (85% are Catholics) it is also known as the sugar bowl of the Philippines, since the sugar industry is the lifeblood of the economy of Negros Occidental, which produces more than half of the country’s sugar.

The venue for the training is at the 5th District of   Negros Occidental which has 6 Districts, 19 municipalities and 13 cities. 2010 statistics disclosed a total population of 2.94 Million people. The 100 pastors attending the training will surely be the pioneers and front liners in the Evangelism Army of this province being this batch is the very first batch to take the Stealth Evangelism Program.

This seminar will cost us approximately $1,400. What an opportunity to build the Kingdom, Amen? You can sow into these pastor’s lives and the souls of thousands in this mobile seminar by going online and send your financial help immediately. We need your help!

God bless. We love you, Tony, Calli & all at Dunamis

grams in hospital

Just a couple of spoonsful of sugar to help the medicine go down!
Grandkids, Miles and Bree were just what the doctor ordered.

Grandkids visit Calli
in the hospital
Well, I don’t know where I ran into that ornery mosquito, whether it was digging around at the mission center or at the rent house or just out somewhere else. But the dengue fever gift he gave me sure took wind out of me for a while. (Praise God he left everybody else alone!)

The day before Tony and I were scheduled to fly to Zamboanga for the next mission trip, he was checking me into the hospital where I spent the next three days on an IV. I sent him on without me (he was just gone 2 days) and Krystel took over hospital duty taking care of me. (Thank you sweetie.)

Then the day my platelet count was finally above 200 Tony and I found out we both had picked up an ameba which is a deadly water parasite here. Last time Tony had an ameba was in 2006 and he got extremely dehydrated and spent 5 days in the hospital. We nearly lost him. This time we both got it but we knew what to do. So with both of us sick with the same symptoms we went to the doctor and had tests run. Found out for sure we had contracted the ameba. We went on medication immediately and are in the process of healing right now at home. Still having problems and a bit sick at times but we know we’re getting better, Amen? Guess my time of rest was not quite over! Boy, am I ever sick and tired of being sick and tired!! – Calli

Rebuilding process wheels
moving slowly but surely
The process of rebuilding the mission center here in Manila is slowly unveiling its self. Please be praying that God would give us His wisdom to know the right way to go. There are several options but we just want God’s way, Amen?

Each day seems to present knew ideas of what to do. I don’t want to start anything unless it’s God’s perfect will. Praise God, I need His wisdom to overtake me so that I know that know, Hallelujah! I am at peace right now with not doing a thing till I hear from the Lord.

I’m working with the insurance company to get the claim paid before we start. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself and start doing things that would get us started in one direction when we need to go another. I’m praying for a sound mind through all the stress of this!

Thank you all for praying for us so vehemently all these years and especially during this catastrophe and tragedy.

Love you all, Tony

Zamboanga Class

Surprised by the darkness in
Zamboanga Southern Mindanao!
April 6-8, 2016
By Remy Modeno
In 2010 Wikipedia mentioned Zamboanga has 62% Christians which made me feel confident that we will not have a hard time winning souls there. As we were taken from the airport to the training venue, I was so excited to see the streets overly crowded with people and it was really a heavily populated area. I thought, wow, such a great place for practicum as we conduct the Stealth Evangelism training.

Little did I know that after the battle between the Philippines and the Islamists in 2013, the place was overtaken by Muslims and most of the local population fled and abandoned their homes to move to Cebu and nearby places. The area is now 80-90% Muslim and the spiritual atmosphere was more Islamic than we expected. Big shock for us! Very dark area.

It was the most difficult practicum we ever had, the most number of rejections, and the first time to have to go out for practicums wearing our Dunamis IDs so we will not be apprehended. Soldiers in combat uniform were everywhere in the area and we were a bit scared to go around as scrutinizing eyes were following us since they can identify who are the new settlers or visitors there.

Despite the prevailing, not so good circumstances, the pastors and leaders won more than 900 souls to the Lord and the students renewed their hope and confidence to win souls amidst a now Muslim dominated city.

Note from Tony: I had to stay in the Hotel the whole time I was there. They didn’t want me to go out without a full escort. Since we left there, there have been 15 Philippine soldiers killed in that area. Also, 2 Canadians have been kidnapped with the threat of beheading. We slipped in to a very dark region and trained 27 pastors and leaders. Let’s just Praise the Lord together!

Stealth Evangelism
Seminar in Cebu!
March 30-April 1, 2016
By Remy Modeno
LILOAN is a upper income class municipality in the province of Cebu and lies within Metro Cebu, which is actually a significant center of Commerce, trade and education in the Visayas Region. Metro Cebu is considered as the 2nd most populous metropolitan area in the Philippines with approx. 4 million people.

Ptr William Acuzar was advised by his senior pastor in Surigao City who had 2 batches of Stealth Evangelism in 2015 to organize a batch in his location. Now knowing how to promote the Program, he invited his colleagues, & leaders to attend and experience this awesome training.

A missionary for several decades, who used to do 4-8 revival crusades every month, he was surprised and amazed how the 357 magnum technique could win a soul in 5 minutes which causes revival. He is now organizing the 2nd batch to be conducted at the center of Cebu.

The batch led 1,096 souls to the Lord, and one special testimony of a soul being won was the mother of a leader who attended. He’s been born again for years, but he could not share to his mom who was a devout Catholic, but he was able to share the Gospel to his mother during one of the practicums, who was unable to resist and even cried after praying the sinner’s prayer.

Glory to God!
