Trip Reports

God is faithful and we always have many stories to tell of how He moves. More coming soon!

 Philippines Trip Report

My first trip to the Philippines was fulfilling and fruitful. My host, Mrs. Betty Charles, and I had a couple of hurdles to cross as we left Toronto, but the Lord gave us victory. We thank God for a safe arrival to the village of Abuor, in the province of Ilocos Sur. Betty had founded a church, Rayma Worship Center, several years ago. She wanted to reach out with the gospel, to the people in the village where she was born. During our first service there, three siblings accepted Jesus as their personal Savior. They had transported us from the airport and received the words of Jesus that we must be “born-again”. They were baptized in the Pacific Ocean three days later.

We had the opportunity to minister in five different areas. At the youth and young adult service in San Pedro, the Holy Spirit’s power touched them powerfully. Right: Youth/young adults service

In Dinaloam, the people overflowed almost onto the street, and they listened attentively to those of us who spoke. After my message, about ten individuals there prayed to receive Jesus as their Savior. They crowded around us to pray at the end and we could not get a proper count. They requested prayer for healing and God touched them. One lady told me later that her eyes and head were healed.

Cabugao is a beautiful seaside village. Ten individuals came forward to be born-again. As we prayed for the people, some individuals were healed and set free from demonic Oppression. A lady shared that her migraine headache was gone and her chest was healed. Afterwards, we enjoyed a meal together under the trees. I also spoke at Labut Santa. I had a short session with the women of Rayma Worship Center. They were happy to receive toiletries from Canada. Altogether, there were over thirty individuals who gave their lives to Jesus. We praise Him for His faithfulness.

The highlight of the trip was the dedication of the new Rayma Worship Center and missions’ house that had been constructed. Betty obeyed the Lord’s direction to her to build Him a house. It was a joy to participate in that wonderful event.
