Blind man’s eyes now see!

Well, this last month on July 8 and 9, we had a seminar in Pasay (Sin City again) the church that hosted the seminar was called Gateway King of Glory Church, Pastor Vinz. I got there and there were over 40 participants. When, we started the class I felt very impressed that these guys were God’s remnant, and they turned out to be fantastic students. As the class began, I started speaking and noticed a young man on the back row of the church that looked as though he was sleeping. I said something about it and they told me he was blind from birth. When I saw him and they told me who he was, the Lord spoke to me and said he would be the top soul winner. I told the group that he would be a mighty contender. Well, at the end of the class, he was the top soul winner! And he’s also a precious pastor! Everyone was so shocked and blessed, I thought you might want to hear this miracle, that with this soul winning technique anyone can be the top soul winner if they want it. His name was Pastor Joel Brazal, and he blessed us all with his zeal. All of us could take some pointers from a young blind man that didn’t let his handicap hold him back.” Those blind eyes now see!” Amen! He’s got his spiritual eyes on now. He made 51 presentations and won 51 people to the Lord. I’ve always said that the Stealth Evangelism Seminar changes people’s lives forever! Do you believe that? Praise Jesus. The group won more than 1,000 souls in those 2 days! Halleluiah! — Pastor Tony

Pandemic or not!
In season or out of season!

Three classes were held in the month of July and almost 100 pastors and leaders graduated with a resolution to use the powerful tool in response to God’s mandate of the Great Commission.

In Pasay, a blind student ordained as a pastor won 51 souls to the Lord. A Nigerian church leader, Ebenezer, won two Mormons. Isn’t it amazing that a physically blind person, Joel, could bring light to those who are spiritually blind?

In Silang Cavite, most of the attendees were first time soul winners and had a major breakthrough. The host pastor runs a Christian school and a Bible school. He was so moved with the powerful tool that he is going to train all his outreaches with the 357 Magnum technique.

Indeed, pandemic or not, in season or out of season, the Gospel has to be preached with a sense of urgency and purposefully. In the midst of crises, where hope could easily be lost, the Good News will always be there and will never change. Bringing its miracle to everyone, especially to those almost 2000 souls won during those three classes. The Gospel never loses its power, whatever situation the world is in! Glory to God! — Pastora Remy Mordeno

Trip to US on August 3rd – October 21st

This trip to the US has several purposes! One we want to see our family and friends again! Secondly, there is a big surge of request for the Stealth Evangelism Program. God has done something phenomenal and creating a sense of urgency in many influential leaders hearts. It is something we have been praying for, for years. These new and old contacts are coming out of the woodwork requesting us to do seminars. In the last 18 years of our Evangelism school we’ve never had near this much opening up at one time. There has always been a demand for us, but never to this extent with such big leaders. For the last 6 years since our mission center burned down we have been doing about 3 seminars monthly, but this is another thing all together. To give you an idea of what is about to happen, I met with the head of the Philippine National Police organization with 6,000 members and the President of the group wants to lead them all to the Lord (Which we will do) then he wants to train a large number of them with the Stealth Evangelism Program! That’s just one group,. The door is opening for us to start training the Philipine Christian Evangelical Churches (PCEC) 55,500 churches through Bishop Noel Pantoa Chairman of the group, of course Bishop Chris Barrios and the Winners Philippines are already working on a program with Dunamis to win Pasay (Sin City) over 900,000 population and less than 70 churches. Chris opened 4 new churches in the last month. We just developed a fantastic video that will surely explain what I will call the “Pandemic Phenomena” So please watch this exciting video by clicking on the link below!

“God is really on the move and we are riding this wave of evangelism that will be like a Tsunami racing through the Islands! Praise God!” — Pastor Tony

Urgent request from both of us!
Please help if you can!

It has been 15 years since we itinerated in churches in the US or anywhere to raise money for ministry and God has been faithful, Amen? God told us to stay home and He would show us His ways instead of our own. Right now, we feel that the Lord would have us speak and share with Christian groups and churches to give them an opportunity to sow into God’s mighty work here in the Philippines. If any of you would like to have us come and share with your church or organization or even at small groups, bible studies, or prayer groups etc. Please contact us at 806-416-2313 email us at tcp1976@aol.com. Leave a number so we can call you back! Help us build the Kingdom of God through the Stealth Evangelism Program!

Love you all, Tony and Calli

Second rice give away
amid the pandemic!

We just had our second rice giveaway to one of the depressed communities that are not far from us. Thank you for your generous giving that made this possible!

1. We started with buying 21 – 50 kilo bags of rice. That’s over 2,300 pounds total! Then we took them home and broke them down into 105 –10 kilo bags (aprox 22 lbs each) to give away to 105 families in need.

2. Even little Wyatt had wanted to get involved with the process! Though it took most of the day, it seemed to go smoother than last month. We were able to streamline it somewhat since it was our second time around!

3. Now all the bags were loaded into the truck ready to head out to the depressed area we were going to focus on this time. Calli had to stay home with Wyatt because children aren’t allowed to get out right now except for emergencies.

4. When we arrived we were welcomed with a sign and lots of smiles. Tony is here above with Boyet (in red) he’s been our welder on the mission center (We nicknamed him Michael Angelo because he is so talented and creative.) He was our contact into this neighborhood and got us connected with Rodel Digno (on the right) He is the vice president of this community, Digno Compound.

5. Pastor Tony first brought all the people that had gathered together and gave a short message and led all of them to the Lord that hadn’t yet received Jesus. We had nearly a hundred people pray to receive the Lord Jesus into their hearts.

6. Then straight away we began to pass out all the bags of rice. Boyet had worked with the community and made sure everyone had a claim ticket ahead of time so it all went smoothly. Everyone was happy and no one was left out! They kept coming up to me after the short service and during the rice give away and thanking us for coming and sharing. It’s really good that they were appreciative of receiving Jesus along with being given the rice! Praise the Lord! It really warms our hearts to see the look in their faces, it always gets me!

Thank you for sharing!

Those of you that sowed the funds to do this rice give away share in the salvation of all the lost that received the Lord. Close to a hundred were saved. What a way to spend Sunday morning! Thank you all so much from those that received the Lord and those that received some much needed food. That’s over 20lbs of rice per family! When you see these very poor senior citizens come up and take a bag, it puts tears in your eyes.

We are going to continue to do these giveaways as long as there is money to do it. This area has another 300 families we need to get to.and it takes nearly a thousand dollars to buy the rice and the bags to put the rice in. We save some by buying in bulk and breaking it down. We would like to have enough money to buy a few cans of tuna and sardines for the families to go with the rice, but we haven’t yet received enough to do that. To remind y’all these families have been in quarantine for almost four months, some have finally been able to go back to work, but the majority don’t have jobs and it’s hard to get clearance, so they are really struggling.

For those of you that give a gift of $500 or more we are sending you a portrait of Jesus that my daughter Felicity had drawn before she was killed in the fire in Feb. 2016. The full story of those miracle prints is on our website at www.dunamisinternational.org under the June 2020 newsletter. Please read it if you’re interested in receiving one of those precious prints. It really was a miracle that they survived the fire, just burned around the edges. Y’all not everyone can give $500 or more but whatever you give, God will multiply it back to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. But the big bang is the blessing of being a part of 100 or so newly born again souls and the awesome impact of feeding God’s people out of the abundance God has given you. What a wonderful blessing it is! Thank you all for making it possible for us to continue to reach the lost and the desperate and hungry people here in the Philippines!

Changing of the guards!

As we informed you in the last online newsletter, Johnny and Sherry Taylor, who have been faithfully helping us handle our U.S. office for the last two and a half years, are starting a new chapter in their lives. They are trimming down and going to be doing more travelling and had to step down from handling our office in Amarillo. We thank them so much for all their help and service! We will greatly miss them, but at the same time we are so excited about the new adventure they are embarking on. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Johnny and Sherry. We love you so much!

As we said, when one door closes the Lord always opens a new one! So we are happy to introduce you to another one of our partners, Buffy Reitz. She has volunteered to take over the U.S. office for us. Please join us in asking the Lord to richly bless her time and effort as she assumes this responsibility. May it always be a blessing and joy in her life to help us keep in touch with you all, our friends and partners! Thank you, Buffy for hearing and following the call of the Lord to step into this much needed role. God is so good!

Big blessings with abundance for every good work! Tony and Calli

Laced with terrifying check points, fully armed soldiers, evening smoke from ongoing horrific battles nearby;

Dunamis staff braved 3 back to back seminars in war torn MuslimProvince – Lanao del Sur!

This last month, my team went into a very dangerous area on the martial law laden Mindanao Island! We sent 4 of our staff and volunteers to hold 3 seminars to train pastors and leaders with our cutting edge evangelism program (Stealth Evangelism Training Program) I want you to read the stories of the experiences they had that most of us would consider perilous and not something you would dare go do.

Calli and I were in Europe for 3 weeks (with our daughter Krystel and her new in-laws) while this was going on. It was a tough decision to have them go ahead with the seminars once martial law had been declared over the region. My first response was to call it all off one day during breakfast in Budapest I called Pastora Remy and told her to contact our travel agent and cancel the flights, call all the pastors and cancel, etc. That evening God woke me up with a sense of peace to let them go. So, I called Remy again and we decided together that it was the best thing to go ahead. All our staff and volunteers were ready to go into the battle region and do the seminars. Now, read for yourself their harrowing accounts of the seminars.

We have two more seminars this month that will cost approximated $2,200 to go do. One is back in the same area of the war in Mindanao in Lanao Del Sur which is also infested with the IS Muslim group and militant NPA group. There is still danger but my staff is fearless. The other seminar is in Cebu and I’m leading that group personally. We have determined that I can’t go with the team to Lanao Del Sur because I would enhance the danger for the whole group because I’m an American. It might be suicide for all of us with me along. Please help us continue to bring the war for men’s souls to these regions where the devil is trying to keep them from hearing the Good News.

You can join us right now with financial support for each of these seminars that we bring every month. We need help!!!!!

Love to you all, Pastor Tony Poole

Flying into danger
Yet safe with the Peace of God!

Pastora Remy Mordeno

Despite the high risk of safety travelling to Mindanao, Dunamis team of 4 took flight on June 4. With the Peace of God, we were bound for Lanao del Sur where Batch 1715 of Stealth Evangelism Training would be conducted in Kapatagan, just 3 hours away from Marawi City where the civil unrest is at its height, where Maute/Isis connected and government troops exchanged fire, as the former wanted to take over the city and make it a regional headquarters of ISIS.

Batch 1715 is composed more of elderly pastors/senior adults who had a hard time memorizing the steps but showed strong desire and determination to learn. They had very low educational attainment but were high in their spirits to win souls for Jesus using our 357 Magnum technique. Hence they did not have difficulty doing street evangelism. Many Muslims were won but majority of them refused to give us their contact numbers for fear that they will be called on to join ISIS or persecuted. This batch won 1,148 souls during the practicums. Our team had troubled nights as in the middle of the nights they woke up with powder smell from the military air and land assaults in Marawi.

Students in Batch 1715 out leading people to the Lord during their practicums!

Passion for Souls

Pastor Rodrigo has been a pastor for so many years, but admitted that it is during the practicums that he first did soul winning on a one on one basis. Stewart was surprised that Evangelism could be that simple and easy. He used to shy away from witnessing. Another student Cielito, her persistence paid off with an old woman she was witnessing to, who was very antagonistic, but when Cielito began reading the verses 3, 5 and 7 of John 3, she was won to the Lord and cried while praying to accept Jesus.

Sis Dominica was planning to go home and do the evangelism exercises in her place away from the actual practicum sites. She feared she will have a difficult time doing her practicum because she does not know anyone in the place, but she saw one of our staff members following them so she and her 3 teammates were compelled to do the practicum at the assigned designated site and they were overwhelmed with the result. They were glad they were able to share with strangers! Praise the Lord!! This boosted their confidence in soul winning. With the passion for souls burning in our hearts, our team continued with the training through graduation, of which we had 28 graduates with 16 pastors and 12 leaders. Then we proceeded afterwards on a 5 hour land trip to the next batch which was in Zamboanga Sebugay!

Highest priority –
Finding and winning the lost!

Batch 1716, in Kabansalan, Zamboanga Sebugay is in Northern Mindanao where the vast majority of its people are Muslims. This batch was so grateful Dunamis team came. We realized the highest priority should be on finding and winning the lost. With the current civil unrest near this province, we were moved to share the Gospel before ISIS could come to their place. We have taken on the burden of giving them the Gospel before these unbelievers could be slaughtered. We were warned of experiencing Acts 8:1 (persecutions) if we fail to do Acts 1:8 (receive power and be witnesses of Jesus). As in the case of Marawi, hundreds were killed and beheaded during this 30 day war between government troops and Maute which is ongoing even now! During this Batch we had 1,148 souls won to the Lord. Praise the name of Jesus!

Ptra Anelie, despite being a pastor, was suffering from lack of confidence in witnessing because she was afraid that she will mess up the words of God and confuse the lost person by not knowing exactly what to say. Eager as she was to win a soul, she used to bombard a person with so many verses which invited more questions and doubts. Thanks to the 357 Magnum technique, sharing the Gospel has become so easy and direct to the point, the unbeliever no longer wants to debate nor refuse. Praise the Lord!

Through check points and martial law!

After this batch, the team went to Tamaraan, the next location! Passing thru 8 foreboding military checkpoints manned by 14 to 15 heavily armed soldiers for a 3 hours land trip. The first checkpoint was really the most scary moment of the trip because the military stopped the vehicle, asked us to roll down the windows, bring out identification cards issued by the government and asked us “Are you Christians?” all 5 of us seated in the car were tongue tied, speechless and cannot utter even a simple yes or no. We were too confused what to answer because it could spell life or death. (There was news that in an instance in Marawi, a group of 9 persons were asked if they are Christians, and only one survived the beheading because she was able to recite a Muslim prayer while the other 8 were immediately beheaded.)

But after seconds of silence, our driver who is a Pastor’s brother residing in Zamboanga finally said “Yes, they are all Pastors!” and it was the cue for us to go and leave the checkpoint. All the other 7 checkpoints had a similar question plus they ask where we will be going and what we will be doing there. Praise God, we survived the checkpoints with butterflies in our stomach every time we approach a checkpoint manned by 14-15 military men in their combat battle ready attire with their bullets, armalite, guns on public display. After all, it is martial law in the area!!!

The outermost part of the world!

Above: Two students going out witnessing.
Below: Students witnessing to local family.

Batch 1717 in Tamaraan, Zamboanga City is the last and farthest city in Zamboanga, making it look like “outermost part of the world”, with all the jungle. No electricity during the evenings as the source of their power is from Marawi City, this is the biggest batch among the 3, having 41 graduates and winning 2,006 new souls to the Lord! This is the batch with major highlights and received a major impact in the seminar. A pastor and his wife were about to quit in the ministry but were curious to see our caption in the poster that says “learn to win a soul in 5-7minutes” and since it is a free seminar, they attended. Their love for the ministry revived and their hearts flaming with the fire of evangelism, and is now more keen on doing the Ministry the Lord has entrusted to them. They vowed to restart with an intensified zealousness and enthusiasm to get positive results pioneering a new church. Bishop Robinson declared that this seminar is a life changing event as it caused a paradigm shift about the Great Commission. It is an empowering tool and people are transformed to be fearless and unstoppable soul winners. Glory be to God!!!
