Class at Big Margus, Glan Sarangani Province

Big Margus and Magpet
Sept 1-3/Sept 5-7

Over 1,500 souls won during the back-to-back classes held in Big Margus, Glan Sarangani Province, and Magpet, North Cotabato in September which are 105 km away from each other. Big Margus is known as the Coco Queen of the South and is the oldest town in Southern and Central Mindanao. The students of this class are pastors and graduating Bible school students of Keith William Bible College, and all received empowerment in soul-winning. Pastor Jonathan, the class soul-winner top notcher received 50 pesos from a person who received the Lord during his practicum. Moving on to the next lost soul, he then gave it away to the next lost person whom he found for the Lord. Pastor Dandy however received confirmation of his calling and his passion for the lost has been intensified through the training. Pastora Geraldine, a missionary Pastor, is now prepared and battle ready to go to the Mission Field as her Senior Pastor is sending her for 6 months, while Pastora Mae finally won her husband to the Lord, after many years of trying with different soul-winning techniques.

Class at Magpet, North Cotabato

Moving on to the next class located 105 km north, the grateful and happy team of Dunamis experienced God’s faithfulness and power in the next class. Despite heavy rains that poured most of the time during practicum hours and brownouts during lectures, the class managed to finish the training with success. Pastor Efren testified that the devil was so furious with him that he had 2 motorbike accidents before the start of the training. He was supposed to host the seminar but because while on a motorbike he fell into the river, he had to look for another venue, which was the current venue. On the day of the training, he was a half day late because again the devil wanted to prevent him from attending through the motorbike accident at the cliff. Despite the limps, he succeeded in receiving his certificate for completing the seminar. Pastor Cunanan is so appreciative, for it is God’s way of answering his prayer to be an effective, powerful, and fearless soul-winner in the harvest field.

ON THE GO!

I am truly blessed that despite the pandemic, God is giving us classes to be able to minister to those who hunger for souls and desire to be very productive in the Great Commission. While most people cry for economic and pandemic sufferings, we cry for more Christian believers to be empowered with this soul-winning technique and yearn to win as many souls as we can in our lifetime. The team is truly grateful to our partners who keep this ministry “ON THE GO!” and who believe that the way to store up treasure in heaven is by investing in getting people there. We remain committed and passionate, and we don’t mind crossing the deepest oceans, climbing the mountains, nor going to the uttermost parts of the Philippines, for the sake of the Gospel, and the mandate of the Lord. Glory to God forevermore! Pastora Remy Torres Mordeno.

Note from Pastor Tony!

Pastora Remy said it like it is, the way to store up treasure in heaven is by investing in getting people there. Many years ago the Lord told me that the only tangible thing we can take to heaven with us is the souls of men. Imagine living this life, building our houses, buying special cars, jewelry, fishing equipment and boats, guns, every conceivable thing your heart desires, and the moment you die, you leave it all here to be divided by your blessed heirs which is not a bad thing, for it’s good to leave your family with the best you have on earth. But here’s the thing, what can you take with you, only the souls of men. If you live your whole life only for you, or what you build, (work, home, church etc.), none of those things will go with you except those you have impacted with the Gospel during your lifetime. Why not look at how you can impact more people to enter the Kingdom of God before and after you are gone. Dunamis is dedicated to training pastors and leaders with the spiritual weapons of warfare to reach the unreached across the planet. When you sow into such a ministry you yourself are a part of everything we accomplish. If we fly to an Island here and do a seminar and activate churches to do one on one evangelism and teaching them to train their members with the same powerful soul winning techniques that they are trained in during the seminars. You effectively are partially responsible for starting revivals that will continue long after we are all gone to be with Jesus. It’s a snowball effect that will bring millions of souls into the kingdom till Jesus comes. So, start today by doing what can to help us bring more trainings each month by partnering with us. We do need help, no way can we do this without financial support, the more you sow the more souls you send to heaven. Calli and I are debt free and on social security, we have a mission center paid for and our number one need is the monthly income to do more seminars and develop more programs to reach the unreached. The money you sow will go to spread the gospel across the world.

Love you all, God bless, Tony and Calli

This is a photo of Remy and Rose leading a guy from Unicef to Lord at General Santos Airport. He had approached them and they ended up sharing the gospel to him and he got saved right there! Is that awesome or what? Those ladies are like two pieces of nitro in the Kingdom, mess with them and they will blow you up. HeHe!

“God’s ways are not our ways!”

Pastora Remy Mordeno

Another successful training program took place in the Visayas Islands, this time in Poblacion Carmen, Bohol. God’s ways are not our ways. Expecting a big group of 60 pastors as planned, only 15 showed up and 14 graduated. God has sent the remnants for this region that had powerful testimonies who were equipped to lead God’s army in advancing His Kingdom. All declared that nothing can beat this technique which they have just learned! God most often uses the remnant to wage His battles. Remember Gideon’s Army of 300. Any of us can be a part of the Remnant!

Two Bible school students, Sahara and Analou, got addicted to soul winning! They did not want to stop during the practicum. They enjoyed it so much. Pastor Tommy, the host pastor, discovered a way to win those people who are familiar with him and vice versa, without being detected. Catherine had a change of mindset, has now prioritized one-on-one evangelism in her own “Jerusalem” (city).

Dream Fulfilled!

Jacinto, a former drug addict for more than 30 years, surrendered to the Lord and in one of his prayer fasting stints, dreamed of meeting a foreigner who is putting something in his pocket. Now, in the training he realized that this is the realization of his dream. A foreigner, in the person of Pastor Tony Poole, has placed something of great value into his pocket which is the tool to win souls in only 5 minutes!

“Better than a college diploma!”

Great things do not always come in big packages. Great batches do not necessarily mean a big group. They were all teary eyed as they received their certificate of completion from Dunamis. Earning their evangelism certificate is worth more than a college diploma* they were saying. A college diploma is only valid on earth and earns them a living. But a certificate from Dunamis counts for eternity as they earned it through bringing souls to the Lord which gives the new believers a new lease of life, being a new creation. Truly, there is nothing on earth that counts for eternity, but the souls of men. With this training, we are raising a new breed of GENERALS of God’s army who will continue to advance the kingdom of God and occupy til Jesus comes! Imagine the number of souls a graduate of Dunamis can win in his/her lifetime is beyond numbers we can quantify or describe. It is countless, infinite and eternal. Not only they personally win but the people that they train in their churches will win. Is there anything more priceless and worth more than combined treasures here on earth than SOULS of men won through these trainings who will all join us in heaven as we worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords? It’s gonna be a great reunion in Heaven, a reunion of reapers, souls won, and those who are part of making this training possible, right? Glory be to God forever and ever! -Ptra. Remy

*Note from Calli: I don’t think most people in the US understand how important a college diploma is to people here in the Philippines. It is required in almost any job they apply for. (I’m talking about even a job behind the McDonald’s counter!) It doesn’t matter so much what field it is in as long as you have it. Otherwise they will be passed up for another applicant that has one, and there is always a sea of applicants behind them waiting for that job. It is vital for their survival and the survival of their families. So to say a certificate from Dunamis is more important than a college diploma is a tremendous statement. It shows that they really realize the severity of winning their fellow men to the Lord before it’s too late! They have prioritized the eternal over the temporal, wow what a lesson for us all!

Speaking of Eternal over the temporal…

What am I here on this earth for?

(Excerpt from March)
This year has started off with a bang, in that we have anywhere from 3 to 5 Mobile Seminars scheduled every month. When we do a seminar there are invitations during every one of them to come and do a seminar in other locations. Some times 2 to 3 invites. This means our schedule is filling up for months in advance to do seminars all over the Philippines.

Well, if we do 4 Mobile seminars every month the cost is between $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Our total income is between $2,000 to $2,500 monthly from partners. The rest comes from our personal Social Security and about $2,000 from rental income which is not always there, because of expenses and vacancies. In other words we are running full blast at a $3,500 deficit per month and we refuse to stop. I’ll die first! I don’t want to be here on this earth unless we are helping these pastors to grow and become self-sufficient in their ministries and lives. We can’t just stop or slow down because the world is 9/10’s lost and going to hell. We cannot give up or slow down no matter what, we need your help Now!!!

We’d like you to ask yourself one question, “What amount could I give on a monthly basis that would not impede anything else going on in my life?” Sometimes people don’t give anything because they think it’s too little. If everyone that we know would realize that something is better than nothing, I truly believe that the deficit that we’ve been experiencing would be obliterated and the kingdom of darkness will shake in fear from the results.
To give you an idea, every month we see 5,000 plus souls won to the Lord just doing the seminars. That doesn’t include the residual effect of the seminars in the local churches that participate. 35 families giving $100 a month would do it. 100 families giving $35 a month would do it. Please pray about it and pray for us.

You can be a part of this battle for men’s souls by joining us with your monthly support helping us reach out to pastors to train them how to win this lost and dying world.

Now today…

We want to thank all of you that continue to sow monthly helping us bring these priceless trainings to the pastors here in the Philippines. It is creating a tsunami wave of evangelism here and you are a part of making it happen. Just wanted to let the rest of you all know that we still need your help to fund the ever growing demand for more seminars all over the islands.

Love you all, Tony & Calli

Two Weeks to the deadline!

Praise God we are only 2 weeks now from the deadline for the renewal of our note on the mission center. At this point and time we have received $10,600 of the $20,000 that we really needed to apply to the principal of the note. When we reduce the note by $20,000 it will lower our monthly payment to where our Social Security will cover the payment each month for the next 12 months. We’ve always had to add money to it to cover the payments. I know that many of you can witness with being that close on your money budget that it would make a big difference to you each month if you were to accomplish a reduction in your monthly overhead.

Calli and I don’t mind sowing our SS for the ministry. It would just mean so much to us if it completely took care of the mission center payment. Please pray and ask the Lord if you should be a part of making this happen. God is our provider just as He is yours. We know that we’ll survive regardless, but ya’ll could make a couple of missionaries’ lives a little better if we could band together this year and do this. We love you all and appreciate you so much for the sacrifices that you have made for all these years that we’ve been here (11 years come March).

Love to you all, Tony & Calli

 

Mac-Pro

Praise report!!!

Received the Mac Pro we needed!

We received the funds immediately after the appeal went out for the equipment we needed to help put the Stealth Evangelism Video Training Program together! Within 48 hours we had enough for the computer, external hard drive and software pictured above, plus a little extra to help with the labor cost of a camera man that is helping us set things up and doing part of the videoing and the editing. What a mighty God we serve!

Our daughter Krystel was in Amarillo. The company she works for sent her back there for some training (this was another miracle in itself!) So we were able to purchase the things we needed and she brought them back to us. It’s amazing how much cheaper electronics are in the US. This was such a great opportunity.

We can’t Praise the Lord enough for all He is doing right now, getting things ready and downloading in us the wisdom to complete this program under His direction and guidance. Personally I can feel an increase in anointing and clarity coming on all of us that are working on this. Get ready we are moving into a new era of ministry that will touch many nations, Amen, Amen, Amen!

 

3Cell-phones-thanks

We want to thank all of you that donated your used cell phones to us. We are in the process of getting them unlocked and functional here in the Philippines. Many of them were better than the one’s we’ve been using for a long time and will be of great help and save us quite a lot of money not having to buy new phones.

Manila is such a large metropolis with such a great population it is vital we stay in communication with each other. Even a simple trip to the grocery store can be an opportunity to get lost from each other if we didn’t have phones to stay connected.

God is good all the time and supplies us what we need when we need it! Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and generosity. God bless you! Love, Calli

class-74

Last week’s class at Dunamis

Excited and ready to go back

and train their churches!

We had 21 pastors, and leaders attend Batch #74 this last week. They won 1,123 people to the Lord during their training exercises out in the city. Nine of the pastors came from Ilocos Sur about 8 hours by car from Manila. They are provincial pastors and it is a hard trip for them to come here and take the training. Regardless they came. Another thing it cost each of them about P1,000 in travel fare to get here. That’s about $25.00 US. I was taken back at their zeal for the class and so blessed by the commitment of these wonderful men and women of God. I know they will train many people there in Ilocos to win souls and that region will be impacted for the Lord. They also indicated that they were going to try to put together a mobile mission for us where we take the Stealth Evangelism Program to them and trying about 50 of the pastors and leaders up there.

Ambushing people in the street! …

with Jesus’ words!


Pastor Noel S. Erese, Senior Pastor, Cells Alive Christian Fellowship, Cainta, Rizal, Philippines.

My coming to Dunamis School of Missions was motivated by two reasons. First, my hunger for a more passionate heart for evangelism or soul winning. Second, my search for a more simple and effective way to present the Gospel. I was intrigued by the “Stealth” way of evangelizing. I can say that I achieved my two goals!

First, the passion to share the Gospel increased as we went out on practicum in public places. It’s never happened before that I was able to present the Gospel, one on one, 25 times and win 46 souls in four different communities for a total of 8 hours of evangelism. (I mean ambushing people in the street to first build a relationship with them and then ask them if they are born again!) That was an experience that was boosted my confidence and buildt my ability to evangelize even total strangers.

Second, I found the Stealth Evangelism strategy as the simplest, most effective way to present the Gospel undetected. People realized that it’s a Gospel presentation only after the scriptures were being read, by then it was too late. Their hearts had already been penetrated by Jesus’ words! This strategy will also encourage more leaders to participate in the training as the presentation is simple, brief but effective. They will want to train their own members.

Thank you Lord! Thank you Dunamis!

The permanent change in me is…

Confidence!

Pastor Wilhelm Verjom, Associate and Youth Pastor, Cells Alive Christian Fellowship, Cainta, Rizal, Philippines.

I praise God that I was able to come to Dunamis despite the heavy rains in our area. (Note: “heavy rains” in the Philippines means flooding and difficulties in transportation.) The technique of Stealth Evangelism I was taught at Dunamis is the most effective tool I’ve ever learned based on my past experience. I learned the shortest way of presenting the Gospel with a powerful responsive impact from the listener.

Very quick way to build cell groups and ultimately build the church through the harvest. This technique is simple and sharp and we can duplicate the quality and standards by following the guidelines of the manuals. I believe that this will cause our church to grow in numbers very fast through perpetual soul winning by committed reapers that I will train when I go back to our congregation.

The permanent change in me is the confidence that I have a sharp sickle now to share to our church members and to use it personally as my lifestyle in doing missions. God has changed my heart and my outlook to the forgotten people in our place and has developed my understanding about strategic ministry growth. Therefore, I highly recommend Dunamis to my fellow pastors and workers in the Lord!
