Seminar: God’s battleground against mindsets debilitating the Great Commission! |
||||
By Pastora Remy Mordeno
|
||||
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 |

“SWAT” ORGANIZED AND READY TO ATTACK!! | ||||
Soul Winners Annointed Team has been organized after graduation in Negros Occidental, as an aftermath of the recently concluded Stealth Evangelism Training held at Christian Fellowship Church, Binalbagan, Negros Occidental. Pastors from different municipalities of different churches and denominations came to join and were equipped with 357 Magnum Technique.
31 graduates were added to alumni database of Dunamis International School of Missions, they won 1,455 souls and did 1,248 Presentations. Immediately after the graduation rites where they received their certificates, the elected President of SWAT has presided over the meeting to schedule their monthly meetings with practicum evangelism exercises, with a goal to saturate Negros Occidental which has a land area of 796,000 hectares (Approx. 2 ½ acres per hectare) and a population of close to 5 million people, and to win the land for Jesus. The batch will use their 357 Magnum technique on a monthly basis to assist pastors/fellow alumni who took the program, to grow the membership of their respective churches. They will take turns in doing the monthly practicums, going around to all the churches and eventually plant churches in barangays(like counties) where there are no churches. WOW!! What a way to unite the pastors of different denominations. They are now one in spirit to fulfill the Great Commission…no more proselytizing…Alleluia! Apart from the monthly practicums, the secretary will also correlate their reports of their 2 presentations a week commitment which is also a lifetime assignment. This ensures a perpetual stream of new souls being led to the Lord on a consistent basis in all their churches. Attending the seminar released a very strong impact on the lives of the attendees. The results of this training were evidenced by a shift of mindset, to a burning desire to win souls, and overcoming their fear of rejection (they were taught how to convert a rejection to acceptance of the Lord). They also enjoyed the practicum as they felt battle ready by learning what to say and how to make friends. Pastor Anselmo Belangel declared that this training is diametrically in contrast to the usual seminars he attended which were mind wrestling, mentally tiring, etc. He found this so easy to learn, simple, and the workshop was encouraging them to be flawless/verbatim, while the practicums taught them how to approach a stranger, catch his attention and eventually lead him to the Lord. Thus, they not only made a friend, but also won a soul for Jesus…what a bonus!!! As Dunamis team leaves Negros Occidental, our hearts were filled with joy and pride, knowing that what the Lord started in the hearts of those pastors thru Stealth Evangelism, it shall remain forever, with their lifetime commitment of using the 357 Magnum Technique. Our 3rd batch in 3 weeks, God has sustained us and the feeling of physical exhaustion has been overtaken with feelings of self fulfillment and pride, as we felt their strong passion now to prioritize Evangelism and put heavy weight of their efforts to the mandate of our Lord, which is the Great Commission. The SWAT of Negros Occidental is now ready to attack, combat ready and loaded with their atomic bomb – 357 Magnum! They will keep on firing their 357 Magnum till the land is completely conquered for Jesus!!Amen! GLORY TO GOD FOREVER AND EVER!!! Pastora Remy Modeno |

Partnering Opportunity! | ||||
Friends, please remember that these Stealth Evangelism Seminars are extremely cost efficient yet they do cost money. We spend between $1,200 to $1,500 for each seminar where we fly to the location. We do at least two of these monthly. The next seminar is on July 26 -29 in Cebu City, Mindanao Island. This is an opportunity for you to partner in the reaching of several thousand souls for the Kingdom of God. Wow! What an opportunity to help with the building of God’s Kingdom. Please help us monthly with something! Talking about laying up riches in Heaven. Calli, got a vision of souls being the jewels of the Lord many years ago when she was looking at a Jeepney full of people, she said the Lord spoke to her and told her the Jeepney was a jewelry box full of His Jewels, Praise the Lord! | ||||
Special Request from Tony and Calli! | ||||
We have a special request for some help for my #1 Staff lady at Dunamis International. She has been working with us for a couple of years and has been an exemplary staff member. She laid down her life for the Lord to do this work that God is calling us to. She was a highly trained executive in Dubai before returning home to be with her family. Not too long after she returned she came on board with us as our office admin and promoter of our school to pastors all over the Islands. She is way over qualified for the job, yet she decided to stay on here with a huge pay cut (from her original job in Dubai) and help train the leadership of God’s church with us.
Recently, her son Jake broke his arm and has had 3 surgeries on it to no avail. The doctors want to put metal braces in his arm to keep it from moving so that it will heal and be stronger. He had been on medication for years that weakened the bone is the reason for the problem. It will cost Pastora Remy $1,350.00 for the surgery and she doesn’t have it. They will not do the surgery without full payment. She doesn’t make enough money at her job to do this. Guy’s, Remy is a trooper and we need to take care of our soldiers. She desperately needs help! Calli and I have given her some to help but we are still strapped financially ourselves waiting on the insurance to pay on the fire that destroyed our mission center in February. If you’d like to help her financially please just send it through our office in the US (Revival Fire Ministries International, PO Box 30487, Amarillo, TX 79120) or online through our web site, please note on your gift, “for Remy”. We will get it to her immediately. |

When we come back to the US in mid-August, 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.

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 |

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 |
