Give Thanks
With Thanksgiving approaching we are all thinking back on this past year. Although the enemy hit us with an extremely hard blow, intending on taking us all out, he didn’t succeed. “Greater is He that is in us than he that is in this world!” We are so very grateful for all of you, our partners in ministry, and so thankful for all the pastors you have helped us to train and for covering us in prayer the way you do. We couldn’t be here without you. The treasure of souls that are being laid up in Heaven is what we are all living for! Thank you Jesus for the call You placed in our hearts and for Your faithfulness to provide all we need to accomplish that call and fulfill the purpose You have for us. God bless you all this Thanksgiving season. We pray you have a wonderful time with family and friends. Love you! Calli & Tony Poole

Clearing debris
Clearing away mission center debris
Well, as you can see in the picture above, the mission center is completely down and they are digging some of the old foundations out. That building was a fortress. I don’t think I will be able to build the next center quite that way, but it will be sufficient to the codes of today. It’s really been a hard process of removing the old structure and foundation. It has cost us over a P1,000,000 to remove it and level it for building. We are tapped financially for now. The insurance company still has not yet paid the claim which has left us sort of in limbo at this point. We can’t move forward from here on building the new center until they pay the claim. Please bind the enemy and pray that they will release our claim immediately so we can get started! Amen?
Seminars continue monthly even while
the new center is on hold!
Also, our monthly partner support is down a little from before, yet our seminars are continuing on in the Islands monthly. It’s taking everything we can put together to handle the financial load of the ministry that we dearly love doing. I’m not complaining or saying we are going under, but it is difficult working under this financial stress. It will be a little different when the insurance settles the claim. In the meantime we are asking you to consider sending monthly support of any size to help. If you can only afford P100 then send P100 per month, it would help if 100 people sent P100, that’s P10,000 a month. It would help a lot. You are sowing into the Kingdom of God. Thousands of souls are coming to the Lord every month from the work we are doing. The people that are born again in these seminars receive the opportunity to be saved through the efforts of you, our partners, giving and all the workers that are winning them to the Lord. “…both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together!” I can tell you this, they are so thankful to the partners of Dunamis International School of Missions for sowing into their souls. It’s an eternal blessing! Calli and I sow our SS every month since we’ve been receiving it, and we are blessed. It’s as simple as this, if we had more money we would have more souls for Jesus. We could do even more!

Many people don’t give even a little because they think it won’t matter or count, yet even a little will mean more souls for the Kingdom!

Love you all,

Tony and Calli Poole

Bohol Mission Trip
Chocolate Hills of Bohol Ablaze with Evangelism
In November we took the Stealth Evangelism Program back to Bohol for a 2nd batch, this time to the other side of the island which is in Clarin. Nineteen Pastors and leaders graduated with pride and a new ray of expectant hope dawned as they begin to unfold a new chapter not only in their own lives but also in their ministries and churches.

This batch fared almost perfect, as 17 out of the 19 graduates were flawless in their presentations, with the correct facial and body gestures. The only flaw of the other 2 students was where they missed the hand gesture, but they were verbatim in their presentation. This batch was so united although they represented different churches and different denominations. They were consistent in their attendance, from day one to the finish. Average souls won for Batch 130, was 46 souls per student or 874 souls for the batch.

As the story of Cora (a forgotten person) was narrated, they were in tears especially when they were asked to remember their Coras, as they were ministered to and praying that their Coras be eliminated and reached out to, the sobs and crying were no longer controllable. Truly, from the deepest of their hearts, they long to win all the forgotten people all around them as soon as they can. They vowed to act using the 357 Magnum evangelism weapon with a sense of urgency.

As expected, graduation time was a very highly emotional moment for each one of them as they shared their individual testimonies and their personal experiences in doing the practicum. In broken Filipino language, as they are all Bohol speaking people, they disclosed that the training has awakened their desire to win souls, realized the importance and the urgency of sharing the Gospel, and validated their roles in prioritizing Evangelism as pastors. They claimed they were taught how to approach people and not discriminate or just choose certain people. They discovered that the heart of Jesus is for lost souls and were challenged to have that same heartbeat of Jesus since they have Jesus in their hearts. They were able to see how they stand before the Lord in terms of winning souls, and confessed they have been remised in the Great Commission but pledged to bear fruits of repentance by actively and aggressively sharing the Gospel, in season or out of season. After all, there‘s no more soul winning in Heaven…only worship, hence they are driven to win souls on earth and to think of the 9/10ths of the people who are lost. They want to act as quick as they can, and use the 357 Magnum tool to win as many as possible. Glory to God!

Sister Crispina said she had difficulties in attending the seminar because it is 3 days. Her husband objected and tried to stop her from attending. However on her last practicum she shared the Gospel to him and he got born again!

Each and every graduate was so blessed with the training, they are eager to go back to their churches to train their members and multiply themselves. After all, the harvest is ripe and ready…not just for a harvest…but a very huge harvest with very few reapers.

Truly the seminar was a victory by the grace of God. They were addicted to soul winning and they always extend their time in the practicums…Seemingly, they have become unstoppable and will win countless souls in their lifetime.

I praise the Lord for this batch the way He touched and moved among our students. He has just raised a new batch of passionate and brave Generals in His Army ready to use their 357 Magnum.

Glory to God forever and ever!! Pastora Remy Modeno

closed road

Pitch dark dead road to Aurora (above left) as it ended once at the edge of what looked like a lake and (above right) Tony searching for the road ahead!

Aurora province

We made it to the venue in Aurora and the seminar began the next day!

Aurora trip
Perilous journey to Aurora!
Seven of us left Manila about 11:00 AM for a trip in the Dunamis van into northern Luzon. It was only to last 6 or 7 hours, but after some wrong turns and misinformation we found ourselves driving for 12 hours. The last 4 or 5 of that were after dark on an extremely winding road that had been labeled a “dead road” by the locals we later learned. In other words it was closed to regular vehicles. The only traffic we encountered were huge hauling trucks and road working equipment. The few workers we met along the way looked at us as if we were crazy! But at the same time they encouraged us that it was still passable ahead. Looking back at it we would have to agree we were crazy for being out there!
Committed: The point of no return from the beginning!
The further we went the more we knew we could not turn back. We had gone down a steep muddy incline at the beginning of the dead road section and knew the van could never make it back up. We were committed – no turning back!

As we were calling ahead to our destination in Aurora province, the pastor and his wife were shocked that we were on the “old road”. The new one would have had us there in half the time. No one used this road anymore. They immediately began interceding for us and believe me, we were already praying! We were thankful we had begun the trip in our driveway in Manila in prayer for the Lord’s protection on the trip.

It was raining lightly, praise God it was not coming down any worse, we could have never made it. There was mud, landslides, rocks, short spurts of concrete that would just end abruptly and drop off to the mud and rocks again. There were places the so called “road” would disappear under running water. Every so often we would have to get out and look for the road before we could continue, using the head lights and our cell phones as flashlights. But praise the Lord, He brought us through safely! Miraculously the van sustained only minor damage as we scraped the bottom time and again and spun the wheels in all kinds of sticky mud. Praise God we made it! Thank you Jesus!! – Calli

Van sliding in sticky mud with deep ravines and cliffs 100’s of feet deep
Calli, forgot to tell you that the road was in perilous mountains with winding roads that wound through the mountains with deep ravines and cliffs that were 100’s of feet deep, our tires sliding to and fro. Once we were told to go under a bridge to find the road. When we came to it we crossed a creek to the other side and went under the bridge. Then we came upon a small lake and couldn’t go any further. Pitch dark and you could see the road construction everywhere yet no road. One of the staff got out and walked to where there was little light and found one of the workers. He took a lantern and went and located the road for us and we drove reluctantly to where he was. Sure enough there was a narrow muddy road going back up into the foreboding mountains. Another hour and a half later we finally came out on the other side. The diversion took about 4 ½ hours to get through. I know the angels were pushing us from side to side, up and down and round and round to deliver us to safety. The van sustained about $150 worth of damage but we were safe and the van survived the event.

Was it worth it you might say? Well, I believe that the 800+ people that were born again during the seminar makes it a wonderful YES! We were able to train 15 pastors and impact their churches in a region where there has been very little evangelism thrust until now. They want us to come back and do another seminar with a larger group. I will go as long as our driver knows how to take the new road, Amen! – Tony

3 Short testimonies from Aurora!
We haven’t been able to get through all the testimonies from Aurora yet, but here are a few excerpts so far from Pastora Remy. Pastor Carlito had a previous bad experience with evangelism while he was in the Bible School, but has now overcome it thru Stealth Evangelism because the 357 Magnum tool is so friendly and non-confrontational. Pastor Eduardo said he is now addicted to soul winning because of this tool! After the first practicum Ptr Artemio could not sleep well anymore because he was burdened with winning souls, and got up at 4am to start sharing the Gospel!
A Note from Pastor Tony & Calli!
I know after reading some of these testimonies that your heart is moved! Maybe you think that this is all out of reach for you to help. Let me tell you, whatever monthly gift you could send would help us to do more of these powerful trainings. You would be sowing into all these souls being saved every month through the actions of these pastors in the end-times harvest. Today is the day of salvation and you could give something. Skip a latte or cappuccino each month and win some souls by sowing into the Harvest! Tony and Calli

Bohol
The Chocolate Hills of Bohol are covered in green grass that turns brown like chocolate during the dry season, hence their name. Bohol is also home of the Philippine tarsier. It is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a man’s hand.
Bohol
Sept. 20-22 Students in Bohol win 1,707 souls!
Bohol is the tenth largest island of the Philippines. It was devastated by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake only 3 years ago.

Abundant Life Church in Sagbayan, Bohol was the training venue for Batch 128, with 39 graduates of the Stealth Evangelism Training. They won 1,707 souls to the Lord during the seminar. Representing 32 churches, these graduates have formed the Reapers Club of Bohol.

“From Cold to Bold!”
Our Boholano students expressed their heartfelt gratitude for blessing them with the 357Magnum Technique. I heard stories like “From Cold to Bold” which was narrated as some of them before the training were cold/not caring at all, or timid in sharing the Gospel, or simply excused themselves from doing the Great Commission with reasons like lack of time, lack of knowledge and not knowing what to say or do. Graduating from the training made them BOLD to share because they discovered that it was easy, simple, quick to use the tool and it empowered them to reach out to the lost. They were taught how to approach a stranger, when and what to say and when to fire the bullets(Word of God) of the 357 Magnum, their new atomic weapon in Evangelism, which hits the hearts of a lost soul directly and is un-debatable or “argument proof” since these are the very words of Jesus. Pastora Mary Ann admitted she was timid, constantly in a battle with her fear of rejection and her not knowing how to start or what to say despite her training in a Bible School on Evangelism, she failed to win lost souls, but praise God, in her 4 practicums she won more than 30 new souls which was a great breakthrough for her.

During the last practicum the students were compelled to reach out to the forgotten people that they come into contact with on a daily basis such as their neighbors, brothers and sisters, grandparents and parents. Those who used to reject them before are now willing to accept Jesus in their hearts! Even the stubborns and hard headed devouts cannot resist nor escape the call of the Lord for them to be born again. Halleluiah! This is a very strong and potent tool that hits the very heart of a person.

Pastor Renato claims he used to be discouraged and impatient on the growth of his church. In addition to this he was battered with a lot of hardships and obstacles. He said, “Attending this seminar is like finding a rainbow after a storm!” He now envisions an increase in his workers and membership through training them in the Stealth Evangelism training, which later on will produce exponential growth in his church through the harvest of men’s souls, thus more members…more finances for more ministries….Glory to God!

Brother Roel was surprised to discover himself, now he knows how to share the Gospel in an easy way. Though he is not a pastor, he realized the urgency of winning souls and that the mandate of the Lord covers all believers, regardless of their status in life.

Over all, this batch is a blessing. I have been blessed to see them transformed into active and aggressive soul winners, their passion revived, their hearts challenged to have the heart of Jesus that beats for lost souls. Truly, the program has not only achieved its purpose: to cause their addiction to soul winning, but also changed their values, habits and mindsets towards the Great Commission. It has given them hope and a vision that their life, their ministry and their churches are destined to a major breakthrough in all aspects.

Glory to God for ever and ever!!

Demolition
Demolition of the old mission center nearly done!
After the beams and debris are cleared away, they will dig the foundations out which will take another two weeks, so in a month we should be ready to begin building the new mission center. We are very weary of the wait for the insurance company to pay the claim. Things move very slowly here. I’ve really been stressed with dealing with the insurance company and trying to finish the plans for the new center. It will be really nice, but dealing with the requirements of the insurance company has stressed us to the max. Would you all please pray for our claim to be expedited through all the red tape and that they would have the grace to settle the claim ASAP, so we can get our lives back together? We do know that His grace is sufficient for us! We praise the wonderful name of Jesus for carrying us through this difficult time in our lives.
The only thing we can take to heaven when we die is the souls of men! Tony Poole
Another prayer is that we will have the money to do at least 2 mobile seminars every month which means we need to have a $2,400 a month increase in our partner giving. That would be no problem if many of you would do what you can to help train these pastors so their churches will grow through the harvest. The eternal rewards are phenomenal to those that financially sow into these trainings because your rewards will multiply exponentially through the efforts of the pastors that receive the training. Every church that is impacted by the training will create a stream of new souls getting born again and coming into their churches for years to come. Please don’t think that your gift would be too small to help. That is a lie of the devil. Whatever God tells you is all you need to do if it’s $5 or $50 or $100 or more it will help us get the job done. For every $1,200 we can do another seminar. If you know someone that loves souls tell them about us and they will appreciate hearing about us. Thank you all for your much needed prayers. They are what keeps us strong even in the midst of great tragedy.

God Bless you all,
Tony and Calli

This year was such a hard year and we needed some hugs and got them in abundance for the whole trip. Calli and I flew into DFW in advance of the conference on August 16th and our daughter Krystel arrived two days later. (Thanks to all who surprised her with crosses. She couldn’t believe everyone was giving them to her. She loves them all, and the memories that go with each of them!)

We set out to visit family and friends in Dallas / Ft. Worth area, Amarillo, Hereford, Lubbock, Sinton, Houston, Canton, and Murchison,TX, and Shreveport, LA. Ended up back in Dallas for the Connect Conference on Aug. 29th. Man we were flying on the Hi-way every day. We only saw a fraction of who we wanted to see because of time restraints. We also spent some precious days with our daughter Kari Brown and her husband Pastor David Brown in Amarillo. We also got to see Karisa our granddaughter. The last part of our trip was spent with my son Cory and his wife Jennifer and 7 of our 9 grandchildren with them. PaPa and Grams got a lot of hugs there! We got lots of hugs everywhere!

Of course the tears flowed for Felicity everywhere we went. People gave so much honor to her precious memory the whole trip. We missed getting to see so many, but we will try to come back soon and see the rest of you that we love so dearly.

God Bless you all with His abundance and grace,
Tony, and Calli Poole

Mountain Province Evangelism
Class out witnessing on the mountaintop of Mangkayan, Benguet.
Mountain Province Evangelism
Mobile Seminar on the mountaintop place of Mangkayan, Benguet, Luzon Island!
Our 12 hour land trip in the midst of rainy weather resulted in an abundant harvest of souls as the Stealth Evangelism Training Seminar was held on a mountaintop place of Mangkayan, Benguet. The 34 pastors and 10 leaders won 1,373 souls and made 1001 presentations.

Mangkayan is a district in Benguet under the region of CAR or Cordillera Administrative Region where mining is a major industry and is situated within the Cordillera Mountains. Basically Benguet is dominantly mountainous and it has the highest mountain in Luzon. It also has the most populous province in the region.

Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion with 73% adherence while Aglipayan (a local form of Catholicism) is an important minority. Pastor Hidalgo, the host organizer of the batch has been trying to set up this training for more than a year. And all the efforts proved to be all worth it.

Pastora Emmie praying
Pastora Emmie praying with and witnessing to young people in Mangkayan.
Pastora Emmie Layug, a missionary pastor was amazed to find 357 magnum so simple and easy as learning the ABC’s. Coming from Manila to join this training, and doing the practicum in a place that is bereft of her usual dialect, she became the top soul winner for the batch and she attributes it to the tool being easily understood by the lost and stirs their soul to be born again just as the Lord Jesus commands.

Pastor Joel Marquez, who joined us as monitor, who was a graduate of Dunamis in 2011, discovered the tool has evolved to a very significant powerful level and has become simpler, easier to execute and is so potent that a prospective recipient of the gospel will be too weak to refuse. Joel said, “During the 3 day training, I still awe how God changes the pastors and leaders, and how he moved with a rekindling of their hearts while using the 357 Magnum tool which had evolved to such a state of flawlessness even since 2011 when I took it.”

Batch 127
Batch 127 Mangkayan, Benguet
The Pastors and leaders were teary eyed and were feeling victorious as they received their certificates in Stealth Evangelism Training. They echo the same statement…’Now, we can share again…and again….with no sweat at all and with no rejections from the fanatic Catholics that dominate the province of Benguet. It’s important for the body of Christ to realize that when people are born again their lives will never be the same whether they become Protestants or remain Catholic. In Heaven there will be no denominations. The issue is whether they know Jesus as their Lord and Savior!

Glory to God forever and ever
Pastora Remy Modeno

Note from Pastor Tony: I did not attend this seminar because we were leaving for the US, but look at the results that my staff had! We are ready to put another team together soon as the monthly support comes up about $1,200. We have many schedules that are waiting for us to come. If you’re sowing monthly you are reaping the souls right along with us, it goes to your heavenly account. You can only take souls to heaven with you, so what are you waiting for, let’s fill the Kingdom of God up. Yes we Can!
