Happy Birthday Calli
Celebrating Calli’s Birthday!
I had an awesome early birthday dinner with friends, Doug and Karen Stanton, who stopped by as they were flying home from Australia to Alabama. We had a wonderful couple of days to catch up and fellowship. Then on Saturday, on my actual birthday, we were able to have our final big pour on the mission center. The third floor is now in place and we will be giving you all an update in next months’ newsletter. Please keep this project in your prayers. It has been a long struggle to get the mission center rebuilt. We will be so happy to get moved in next year. It will have been over three years since we ran out that fateful morning with our Mission Center engulfed in flames. But God is faithful! He has held us all the way! Honestly we could use support for the finishing of the Center so pray and ask the Lord what He would have you do. We ask you to pray for us because of construction problems that we need the Lords hand on. We just need your fervent prayers to get us to the end, Amen?

Love you all, very, very, much,
Calli & Tony

Sharing the Gospel on the streets of Camotes Island during practicums.

November Seminars on Cebu and Camotes
Almost 50 pastors and leaders were trained in 2 locations, which were three hours apart by land trip and another two and a half hours by sea on board a ferry boat. Tuburan is on Cebu and is the largest municipality in the province in terms of land area, compared to Camotes Islands which is a group of 3 major islands, 1 small islet and is divided between 4 municipalities. It is sometimes called as Lost Horizon of the South because of its unspoiled beauty. Imagine the pristine crystal clear water, the powdery white sand, fresh environment and the breath taking view of the sunset. Over 900 souls were led to the Lord. Certainly this place will soon be more beautiful as “new creations” are birthed in this island at the onset of Stealth Evangelism Program. New batch of soul winners are ushered in to the Army of God, armed with the atomic bomb in their hands -357 Magnum (evangelism tool using the verses John 3:3,5 & 7)

Gemma a church leader, spoke positively that she knows a lot of evangelism tools but she cannot proceed to use them as she is struggling on how to start a conversation with a stranger. She is too happy now that she can easily approach a stranger and can open a conversation based on the pointers given in step one of the tool which is establishing relationship. And she remembered well what not to discuss during the inter action with a “prospect soul”. Now she can win a friend and at the same time win a soul for Jesus, Hallelujah!!

Pastor Elny is so happy and grateful to God for the Stealth Evangelism Program as he is convinced that this will certainly help a lot in growing a church and more so, he will be able to impact a lot of existing church members who are in quandary on how to serve God, by teaching them the tool. He envisions an army of soul winners who will win the whole island to Jesus. In no time at all with a fearless army, Jesus reigns in Camotes Islands.

Erlinda, a born again Christian and leader in their church for 20 years, but sadly she never approached anyone to share the Good News of Salvation. During the practicums, she won her family members to Jesus and she is no longer afraid to speak up for the Lord.

Tuburan and Camotes Island have their dots connected to Jesus through this effective and powerful soul winning training. They were able to put a security system in place to protect their physical being, which is Jesus. Sometimes we think we are secured and our security system is in place, but oftentimes we are confronted with the truth on what God’s desires and purposes for our lives, for our wealth, for everything we have. And sad to say, we realized that our security system is connected to a worthless power source, as illustrated in the story of a rich man in Luke 18: 8-30. As Jesus said “Come, Follow Me”, He is telling us the way of making all of us connected to Him if we heed His call, we connect to the Main Power for our Spiritual Security System. We must aim to bring this connection to every lost soul, so that individual security system is connected to the Main Source. Jesus said “Come, Follow me”. You responded to His Call, but what about others? Would you like to help them connect to Jesus for their Spiritual Security System to be installed from the Main Source of Power (Jesus). Thank you for the fuel you give to make the vehicle move. Thank you for sending us and we will go even to the uttermost part of the earth! God bless you all! We still need support to bring more seminars to these unreached areas of the Philippines, Praise God!

Glory to God forever and ever,

Ptra Remy T. Mordeno

Dinagat Islands

Witnessing to residents of the Dinagat Islands

Note from Pastor Tony
on Dinagat Island training

Please take a minute and read about this Island that is basically under control by a cult that has controlled not only the population, but the government on the Island. Our team just did a Stealth Evangelism Seminar there March 7th – 9th. (I was unable to accompany them as I had planned due to me still recuperating from injuries from last month’s accident.)

Read about the Island and the awesome success of the class. They won 10% of the population of this one Island in 3 days. So many cult members came to Lord during practicums of the seminar. More than 1,200 people gave their hearts to the Lord. The host pastor had been ready to leave the Island after living in poverty and he felt, basically failure to build his church in 20 years of hard ministry. Now his hope and fire is rekindled to take the Island for Jesus!

In my heart I know they will take that Island for Jesus through effective one on one soul winning. Praise God partners you are part of the winning of this Island to the Lord and snatching these people out of the grip of satan’s cult. Praise the Lord Jesus! Please read about this victory below!

Destroying the hold of the PBMA Cult on Dinagat Island!
Forces landed on March 7th bringing Victory!

Pastora Remy Modeno

The Dinagat Islands are a group of islands constituting a province in Caraga region in the Philippines, with its main island, Dinagat. Total population for this municipality where we held our seminar is approximately 11,000 people. There are 6 other municipalities that all together have around 127,000 people on this group of islands. In 1965 the religious Cult- PBMA (Phiippine Benevolent Missionaries Association by Ruben Ecleo, Sr) was founded, ushering in a period of spiritual darkness for this region of the Philippines. The Ecleo mansion is located in San Jose, Dinagat Island where the whole population are members of his cult, except 4 family lines who are born again Christians.

Dinagat Island was the venue for Batch 1807 on March 7 – 9. Taking a pump-boat ride from Surigao, the team came to the church and carried the seminar supplies up 36 long stair steps to the church. But it was all worth it! There were over 1,200 souls led to the Lord on 3 different islands that can be reached only by a motorbike ride or a 10 minute pump-boat ride.

Dinagat Islands, practicum

along the dirt roads of Dinagat.

Pastors with new hope and vision!

The class, which included 12 pastors, was very receptive and hardworking during practicums. Despite the on and off rains, and skipping lunch, they willingly extended practicum hours from 8 to 12-13 hours not limiting themselves to the required 30 presentations. Truly their hearts thirst for new souls for the Lord and all were excited about opening new Bible study groups and pioneering churches amidst strongholds and persecutions in the island.

The host pastor and his wife were already planning to move to another place to start their new ministry. 20 years of their ministry in the island brought them so much discouragement and put them on a poverty living. They live in a shanty with a makeshift tent divider to separate the house from the church, with no decent beds, sleeping on the floor, including their 8 children. They said ministry life was too difficult for them, taking them nowhere and said they were ready to give up this place and admit themselves as failures!! They even admitted that they have really stopped doing the evangelism.

But Praise God, Stealth Evangelism inspired them and sparked a new hope that despite the circumstances, using the 357 Magnum presentation, they will be able to win new souls to the Lord without rejection, and soon these new believers will be discipled and will be the future church members and workers. The couple’s fire for soul winning had been fanned and there’s no more stopping them! They found the key to escape their poverty thru winning more and more souls. After all, more souls, more members and later on more finances for the ministry. Their hearts are full of joy with the vision of prosperity and abundance as God has promised. Truly, the breakthrough is already at hand and taking place, with the first step-being empowered with the powerful tool of evangelism.

The host pastor had shared the Gospel to his neighbor for more than 25 years to no avail, then he used the newly learned 357 Magnum technique on her, and as she accepted the Lord, she invited him to join them in celebrating her mother’s 92nd birthday in Davao, so the whole family can also be led to the Lord. Wow, what a bonus!! Glory to God!

The host pastor’s wife shared to her friend who is a teacher, about being born again. The teacher not only prayed the salvation prayer, but God opened her spiritual blindness by making her discover that being born again is not a religion. God impressed on her that what God wanted is a fellowship, a relationship with her. Hallelujah!!

Always Victory in Jesus!

As we leave the island via pump-boat, and as I glanced back to the island, I cannot help but feel a great sense of fulfillment and pride. I can now declare failure is never an option in God’s ministry. There is always victory in the name of Jesus, and God’s time is always perfect, not so late nor too early. Stealth Evangelism came to Dinagat in a moment when everyone felt so hopeless and resigned that they can no longer do anything to resolve the issues. We were so much blessed with this class as we know we are leaving them a powerful tool that can combat poverty, multiply their churches, bring them prosperity and above all, turn these cult members into believers and disciples of Jesus. As we closed our class with prayers, we all declared, DINAGAT ISLAND IS FOR JESUS!!!

All thanks and praises to our loving God who sent His Son to redeem us so we can have Good News to share and to the Holy Spirit who continues to do His work on all our batches. May the Lord of Harvest bring abundant harvest to those who sow in this ministry and as we increase the quantity of warriors for God’s Army. I pray that the provision shall meet the demand for more harvesters in the Kingdom of God. Praise be to God forever and ever.

– Pastora Remy

Health Report on Pastor Tony!

Tony is improving daily, just not quite back to normal yet. He can go for a few hours then he’s really tired with back hurting and done for the day. Still feels a little fire in the muscles in his back, but is able to do most things by himself now. He’s back to riding his motorcycle and moving around for a few hours but tires out dramatically because he’s not yet fully healed. His first seminar since the accident is scheduled for next month on the 10th. He should be well by then. Just keep him in your prayers.

We Shall Return!

We will schedule other seminars in this region to take Stealth Evangelism to the other 6 Municipalities and train their pastors thus winning the entire Dinagat Islands!

Consider supporting this ministry monthly to help bring the Gospel to Islands like Dinagat. We have many that we need to bring the training to. Thank you for supporting these pastors to take the Stealth Evangelism seminar. We love you all, Tony & Calli
