This post may seem vague, but it is intentional. This was my first time to cross three rivers to get to just one place, and I brought no slippers. I was wearing only my Chucks. But a little wise thinking enabled me to cross without getting the soles of my feet wet. My children and I were just discussing about going on a hike yesterday, and here I am on a hike trail unplanned.   During a break, I felt a strong conviction to approach this group of locals sitting idly watching our group finish their meal, and so I did. The Lord opened an opportunity for me to share the good news with them. We spoke for about thirty minutes and he, along with his children and friends, was very open to what I shared. We had a friendly exchange, and he was visibly affected when the topic was about accountability and sin.   Simple people are very easy to talk to. No pride or ego involved. No confrontation. But my heart was going out to him as he listened. His name is Roland....

A sodomite kept giving my daughter the evil eye as I was proclaiming the law. He cursed her again and again, and finally went over to an enforcer to most probably complain about his feelings being hurt, only to be ignored and waved off. The police was also listening intently, as were others wearing the Nazareno shirt who stood throughout the whole hour of pleading. The man on the left shared a piece of paper with me that had scripture written on it. At first I thought he was one of those who after listening would challenge the message with trivial questions, but it turned out he wanted to give me an extra hand with his thoughts. He had written down verses that he uses to debate people. Though far from my intentions, and it is still scripture I welcomed his gesture and thanked him for it. The man on the right came over to encourage me as he was interceding on my behalf while I was proclaiming the good news. More than anything else, prayer is most welcome. It is the one thing I...

“The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.” Matthew 4:16 It has been strongly placed in my heart since middle of the previous year to visit Samar, but I have been hampered much by the transitions my family and I went through following my leave from the corporate world, until everything cleared out just this last December. After settling my mother-in-law in who just arrived from Canada to spend time with us for three weeks, I went ahead and booked the trip, and threw away the key so to speak, that I would not have a chance to back out again. Three weeks ago, brother Derek and his dear wife Celi, along with three girls in their care, drove to Samar to visit the work there, so I had assumed and was doubly glad to know that I would still get to meet them before they left. Through the providence of the Lord, I arrived safely during the last weekend of their departure back to Manila. I had inte...

This small clip is but a supplementary part of the same event last December 8th in Cavite. It was dubbed as a religious event, but in truth, it was more of a sodomite party. I was terribly cast down and disheartened during the whole day, and would of myself simply settle to documenting the event instead. I left my gear in the car parked at a considerable distance from where we stood because I did not think I would be in the Spirit to deliver anything, but my dear brother from Romania prayed for me right then and there, and immediately I was lifted in my spirit. The enemy troubled me much the whole day, but the Lord was faithful in honoring my weakness to display his strength. My heart goes out to the crowd, especially those who heard the gospel without my knowing. The Lord be forever glorified. Amen.

At the close of this year last December 4, we were indeed honored of the Lord to have been sent a soldier of the Kingdom, hailing from Romania representing Real Ministries, to spend two weeks living among us, to see if a fruitful collaboration between our ministries is feasible. In between all the discussions we went out to do what we are called to do, to publicly proclaim Christ crucified. This day was again market day on this particular place in Bulacan, and the mild downpour did not deter the people from walking to and fro. The place was ripe for the Gospel. It was providence that beside the spot where we stood there was another gathering of people where a man blaring on a microphone had a snake with him and was entertaining the people by doing tricks. The Gospel was preached mightily to the crowd. We pleaded with them on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God. These are the blessed saints and elders of Batia, Bulacan and our beloved pastor and brother Jordan, who led ...

I have had the good pleasure of talking tech with my visiting brother from Romania and I was pleased to know that we both share the same passion for pushing the quality of presenting the work of the gospel by making good use of the technology we have in our present day and age. While it is true that the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light (Luke 16:8), those of us who have been given the talent to keep pace with the times, whether we eat or we drink, are obliged to utilize everything we have for the glory of the kingdom of God. Though we did not have the opportunity to use his Zhiyun Crane 2 gimbal, of which I am thankful because you need to have seriously strong arms to be able to hold this up for quite some time, I had some really good fun setting it up. I wished to have used it for the December 8 event, but since it was really expensive and the crowd was unpredictable, it was a wise decision not to bring it.  These are all but...

I have not heard that there was such an event as this, celebrating the idolatrous worship of Semiramis, or better know as the modern day corrupted version of Mary the "sinless" one, until we were made aware through the prepared schedule of our visiting brother from Romania. I did not expect a crowd like it. Typical of any local festivity, but populated by decadent males posing as women. A huge part of the number were blatant sodomites. Though it does appear on the surface that homosexuality was what was on immediate display, there were also a lot of inappropriately dressed young women, young couples, rampant smoking (my daughters had to don a clinical face mask), eating and drinking, and just plain debauchery. A famous but vile sodomite actor was also a guest of honor. The crowd singled out a lone sister who stood her ground in the power of the Spirit. It was a sight to behold, as the men made all and every effort to bully her, but the wisdom of the Lord carried her. The i...
