While here in the Philippines it is my God given opportunity and mandate to help the helpless. So many hurting people are here. Visulaizing the poor children hurt me the most. The Lord has provided for 2 poor children’s feeding centers through Global Family Outreach Ministry-Praise the Lord ! My heart is so heavy though because there is such a huge need to see the lost come to Christ. Everywhere I go, I share the Gospel as the Holy Spirit allows. To think how taxi cab drivers receive salvation tracts and immediately read them while driving and say “Oh Salamat Po sir”-Oh thank you very much sir in the English language translation. People here are hungry for the Word of God. I am from the USA where it seems dry and the Christian Filipnos call America “A Atheist Nation.” About 10% of Filipinos here have given their hearts to Jesus as Lord and Saviour but many are strong in their faith. Working diligently to see God glorified in all areas of their lives not just personally- Family, work, government, etc.. It is glorious to see how Jesus changes lives of those who diligently seek Him.

I have again applied for my Values Foundation Instructor card while here. This is a Program sponsored through the Philippine National Police. I teach Filipino police officials, governmental leaders about the importance of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. Areas like respecting others because we are all children of God is taught, also why it is not good to take or accept a bribe is also taught with many other Biblical values are taught. Most importantly Salvation through Jesus Christ is ALLOWED.

The Rev. who is in charge of Values Foundation of all the Philippines asked me an interesting as well as a profound question… He said to me; “Pastor, when you go back to America, maybe you should teach this to your American Officials.” In  my heart, I know it is well needed.

Thank you my Filipino Brothers and Sisters in Christ for reminding me what is most important in all societies around the world.
