I give all honor, praise to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for two more boxes being picked up today and being shipped to the Philippines for an evangelistic outreach to see more Filipinos give their hearts to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. There are clothes, soaps, lotions, towels, bed sheets and more in these boxes. I am so blessed that someone in their heart packed these boxes and donated the money as well to ship them. All glory to Jesus!

I’d like everyone to know so far as a prayer request also…GFOM is located near a local cult here in the Batavia, NY where they are with an influence of also a Wicca Witch group together sending items to the Philippines. They are competing for souls with GFOM. The cult and witches are trying to undermine the Gospel of Jesus Christ by giving “humanitarian” items. They are doing this so as to persuade people to a cult belief and practice. This cult  also has poured thousands of dollars into the legal system trying to destroy Global Family Outreach Ministry.

I believe I must be doing something correct for the Lord to suffer such persecution. My concern however is the souls of those who may be being persuaded to a false gospel because of the influx of items from this cult and witch’s group. Please stand with me in prayer and financially to see the True Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed in the Philippines and around the world.

The Last Big Push…..

 

When praying these days to the Lord my God, I cannot believe but to hear my Father’s heart for the lost, dyeing and hurting. God has allowed many more people in my life as of late that also carry a burden for their lost (without  Jesus as Lord and Saviour). How dearly I believe and is close to my own heart that my God loves us, after all, he sent his own Son Jesus to die on the cross for us. Not to simply die but through His wonderfulness, for the remission of our sins.

Is there a reason that as I believe, have heard God’s heart for the lost around the world? I believe so. Simply put; souls. Souls for heaven, souls of those who have wandered off some where but yet sense a calling to come to the Father through Jesus Christ. Souls of the unclean and unsaved. There is a push if you will in my heart for souls. Friends of mine who are active in Christian ministry of evangelism feel the same tugging from the Father. The yearning for souls. Ours and people(men and woman of the Living God) are not the harvesters but are the instruments only for souls. We are the messengers. Like the Shofar of/ in Israel’s day of old, the loud blast called attention and direction for a purpose. To bring a scattered people into one accord. God I believe is blowing His shofar if you will. He is calling in the souls of the lost. He is calling his people to a purpose for souls.

There is the Gospel message that needs and must be proclaimed around the world. I have no idea how close we are to proclaiming the Word of God to “all nations and tongues” before Christ’s return. I do know though the urgency in my heart for the lost. Scores of people around the world are dyeing without Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Whole people groups appear to be hardening their hearts. I think of particular nations that appear to have little to no motivation to seek a restoring God no less to repent of their evil ways. My heart cries out to my Lord, “Please Lord, send someone to those stiff necked people, even to save a few !” At present I feel more like Lot rather than Abram. I feel I am detained against my own will to serve Christ because of the bonds of of others on my life.

I care for little of earthly pleasures these days. There was a time in my life that I wished and prayed for so many things. I have lost many of those once gained-treasured “things” in my life. At first when losing them, I cried literallyover them while being sometimes literally being stripped away from my own very hands. I’ve seen them go individually as well as corporately….relationships, houses, vehicles, food, childhood memories, etc…. I care very little anymore. Once priceless in my heart, those “things” have become “rust and corrosion.” I crave these days, souls. Souls for the kingdom of God. Please don’t misunderstand me. I need some items to survive but there is a sense in me that Christ is returning soon. Many items that I treasured here on earth will mean nothing where I am going. Once earthly things taken, God has allowed now the stripping of my soul. I am but an instrument of His to be his bond servant. To be used for His glory, His glory, His glory.

My goal is to reach the people I have been prepared for these past 10 years. I have my eyes fixed on the cross. Ready to serve more. I await with anticipation to speak to His people what He would have me speak by the power of the Holy Spirit. The time is near, the time is here. There can be no more looking back. Souls are being prepared, where I am called, the souls are ready to be gathered.

Look for Christs’ return….

Greetings Global Family Outreach Ministry Family Member,

We pray that you have been blessed with so much love from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For the month of May, 2009 we want to share with you that although we are currently showing a dramatic financial slow down here at the ministry we plan on going “full steam ahead” with our vision to see children and families saved  through Christ, not only in the Philippines now, but to see our plans for children/families also giving their hearts to Jesus Christ in Nigeria, Africa and all around the world. On the surface it would be easy to be discouraged looking at the economic down turn around the globe but we as Christians should keep our eyes on Jesus. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.

To help with our plans to expand rather than detract our ministry outreaches, we are in much prayer here at GFOM. We are itinerating at churches and Christian events. June 28th, Pastor Paul will be sharing at Canisteo AoG Church, in Canisteo, NY  He also has individual appointments with other pastors here in Western and Central New York State. We are having a yard sale in Medina, NY on June 27th (We are looking for donateable items) and we are also contacting more and more churches to ask for help. If you are interested in helping or giving towards GFOM, please feel free to contact us at Donate@gfom.org

We have periodic updates regarding the ministry. You can find Pastor Paul on Facebook where he adds sometimes updates not only personal thoughts but ministry updates as well. There is also the “Blog By Pastor Paul” on GFOM and BEAHERONOW web sites. There are articles written and stories about the ministry. The newsletters in the future will be posted on the Blog so that money can be saved. If you wish to receive a newsletter via “snail mail”, it will be sent to you at a special request. Postage and printing are very expensive.

Have you checked out the web sites lately??? There is a blessing…A brand new video from a Famous Filipino Movie Actress; Angelu De Leon. In the video, she has sitting in her lap a little girl from our Pasig City, Manila Feeding Center. Angelu gives a wonderful endorsement of GFOM. Thank you Angelu ! Go to www.gfom.org or www.beaheronow.net

Other changes are being made in the Philippines, we are constantly making changes for the better to make GFOM more efficient and a better organization. We want to be sure we are good stewards of what the Lord gives us. The Lord blesses our efforts we believe just like the 20 persons who just gave their hearts to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior while Pastor Paul was preaching and sharing the Gospel in Guimaras, Philippines. How good is God!!! We so much love God for His faithfulness.

So our message this month is this; We are not turning back. It is the last days before Jesus’ return and many are yet to give their hearts to Christ all around the world. We will stay diligent for the work of the Lord until His second coming.

Many Blessings.

The GFOM Staff

No its not Fathers Day yet but it is kinda my Father’s Heart Day. Today I remember it was 17 years-ago today that I gave my heart to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of my life. A long time for sure compared to some. To others though who have been saved through Christ;  its been 30, 40 or more years so to them, maybe its not so long. How ever long we have been saved, we should all have our Father’s heart. What do I mean by Father’s heart? Well, we should first of all have love. Love for a “Christian” should be the most important part of our walk, talk, and fruit of who we are and what we do. Agree? The Bible says that love covers a multitude of sins. Many walk around the Earth judging and pointing fingers at others but rarely if ever at themselves. This unfortunately also at times applies to  us “Christians.” Jesus said in John 13:35 “…They shall know you are my disciples by the love you show one-another.” Isn’t is love that was the motivation for Jesus to shed his innocent blood on the cross for our sins? Our demonstartion of love should be evident to everyone. Lack of love and being non-Christ like can point to one of two things I believe. One is that we were never truly converted to “Christianity” or the other; that we are steeped in sin. Love was the motivation in the book of acts where “everyone gave to those who were without.” The type of love I  personally want to have is sacrificial, daring in dedication, outstanding, forgiving, repenting, giving, generous, pointing to the cross at Calvary, type of love. The type of attitude I don’t want to have is; fake, demeaning, non-caring, unforgiving, hateful, spiteful, wolfish, abusive, self-centered, hidden-agenda, lieing, cheating, stealing or anything at all non Christ like. In other words, not of the flesh or any appearance of it. I do want to clarify here that there are in fact times with love, we must be confrontive like Jesus was in the temple driving out the marketers or In Mathew Chapter 18 where Jesus talks about confronting someone with sin or unrepentive sin in their life. To see some saved or repent of their sins or rebellious attitude, we should be caring but also I believe, straight forward. Personally, I don’t believe sin or open rebellion is anything to fool around with. The root of the matter should be dealt with quickly. Jesus gave us clear instruction when dealing with someone with a rebellious/unrrepentive heart. Love though I believe, should always be the motivator.

I’m not sure how many of you have teenagers or have ever had teenagers but for me, I always wanted a t-shirt that said something like “I survived my child’s teenage years.” Teenagers can be tough for sure. All children can be a hand full at any age I suppose but teenagers I think are the toughest. When teenagers continue in their rebellious attitudes into their adult years, That’s when we see more broken lives, more broken families. You see, Those Teenagers becoming adults, get married and have children(hopefully they get married before they have children) and if their attitude is that of rebeliousnesstowards God, they will probably influence their own children for the negative as well.  Here I want to share from thee Bible an example of how a parent of that young rebellious aduly might feel by asking; Can you imagine the heart of the “Prodigal Son’s” father? This poor man was probably so heart broken when his own son became a prodigal. Here is dad, working hard, giving all he can to make his two son’s happy and give them a blessed life. The news of his one son running off in rebellion must of brought poor old dad to his knees in tears. I can just imagine the heart ache and pain. I can also read of the love in this fine parable where it reads of the prodigal son; “finally, he came to his senses.” The father in this story was told by Jesus; “The father seen his son from a distance far off and opened his arms to receive his son.” Wow, that thought literally brings tears to my eyes. The love of the father.

Perhaps in our lives we currently have those that have “run off” somewhere and have not yet returned. In our two GFOM feeding programs there at times, children who come into our Poor Children’s Feeding Programs and for a brieftime, are fed the Word of God and a hot nutritious meal. They  sometimes disappear. The children move with their families to another part of the Philippines, or even the children decide on their own that being in a loving place hearing about Jesus is not right for them. They are still yet attracted to the wild streets or the wild life. These children , Just like my very own children,  are very special. Even though they are rebellious now, It is my heart to show them a love of a father. Yes, the love of the Father.

Hello Friends, While in the Philippines I met a very nice Medical Doctor and Administrator from Central Philippine University-Iloilo. She is willing to help with the medical mission this year. It looks like I’ve been coordinating most of this and will continue to do so.  We may have a few doctors and nurses volunteering along with a medical microscope being donated although nothing is for sure. If any of you are willing to help with a medical mission trip this year whether its sending, helping with medical issues(doctors, nurses, etc..) or fundraising for this event, please  me a call at 585.409.5406 or email me at paul@gfom.org There is a great need and  there is an open door right now for meedical missions in the Philippines. One last request please, keep this all in your prayers…Thank you and Blessings.

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.

Greetings to all my fiends and family…

I wanted to share the following message that I hope and pray will touch your heart…

It seems we are on a fast track spiritually for good or for evil in all the world today. What I mean by “fast track” is this: The people of the day are multiplying spiritually either for the closeness and love of God or people instead are choosing hate, deception and evil. The divide is no longer blurred or as I say: “You cannot sit on the fence post any longer.”

Our nation here(currently the United States), is in the beginning of a great upheaval and spiritual unraveling. Thankfully some people here of every creed and toungue it seems are choosing to serve God by instituting Godly principles like the 10 Commandments, having student led prayer or student led Bible Clubs in school or just back to good old common sense. On the other hand, others have unfortunately chosen to pronounce their evil and wicked ways rather than God’s ways and what makes this harmful to all is their insisting of us True Christians to follow their evil practices or face persecution . Evil that I speaking of here can be found in 2Timothy Chapter 3.

I am preparing to defend God’s ways more and more. With the message of the Gospel, I am sharing God’s ways which are not at all condemning but rather for our best and full of His love. Just a few days ago we true Christians celebrated “Resurrection Sunday.” I am sure for most,  we are so thankful for the true reason for “Easter” and knowing we are not left in this world hopeless or helpless because of what God did for us through His son Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary and bringing us to a loving place because He first loved us. Wow and Amen I say for the un-ending love our Father has bestowed before us and an example for us to live as true Believers In Christ.

We must be vigilant these days for the heart of many grows cold. There are many “wolves” out there who say they know Christ but have a hidden agenda of hate, greed, selfishness and will sneakily rob your home and your family from you. The time we live in calls for discernment through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide us and direct us in our thoughts and actions, He will also lead us to other True Christians. Jesus said Himself how to tell a True follower of Him…John 13:35 “They shall know you are my disciples by the love that you show one-another.” There it is; “love.” Hatred is the opposite of love. Where there is division because of rebellion, you will find hatred. Where there is selfishness and greed, you will find hatred. Where there is world view, you will find hatred but where you find the Lord, you will find loving obedience to Him and His command being followed to love one-another.

Count the cost(Luke 9:23), It is a difficult time to live in. Men(all people, all nations) are quickly being given a choice to follow whatever god they choose. Choosing the True Living God, or the god of this world. With The True God who made all Heaven and Earth comes eternal life through Jesus Christ and brings love(Galatians 5:22).  Picking the god of this world which brings all ends of evilness, will in the end bring destruction.

We should choose carefully and quickly whom we shall serve this day…

I am in belief that for me and other Bible believing Born-Again Christians like me, The Lord Jesus Christ is returning soon. The Bible says that “no man knows the day or the hour” but we look at revelation of what Christ gave us; signs of His return and… to look for our Redeemer is drawing near.

Our position here on Earth should to be to focus on seeing our lives are blameless before Him and preach the Good News throughout the entire Earth. While many hearts  are growing cold towards Christ we should not shrink from our responsibility to proclaim the risen Christ and the work He accomplished at the Cross. Instead, we should by faith believe He will empower us through the strength of the Holy Spirit. I do realize for some Christians it is a doctrinal struggle to even mention the name of the Holy Spirit. The truth being told however, The Holy Spirit is God, part of the Trinity of God. the Holy Spirit is available for all believers to help us, encourage us and counsel us on every matter and relationship before us today and everyday. Without the Holy Spirit and His leading, we are like nomads knowing not where we are going-aimlessly wandering everywhere and lacking what God would have us do for Him. It is my point here that we need and should rely on the Holy Spirit for every decision. The Bible says we should “pray without ceasing.” Our Lord will speak to our hearts if we are truly before Him in prayer and open to hearing His voice.

I also mention this about the Holy Spirit because for Christians around the world, first; this is “Holy Week.” We celebrate the death and rise of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as well as His work we could never accomplish; the remission of our sins before a Holy and just God.

Second; yesterday, while at a “Christian Bookstore” , I mentioned to the counter person that it was the Holy Spirit that led me to that store, I was driving by and although I had called that same establishment the week before looking for a particular item, and they informed me they sold no such product, I was led by the Holy Spirit to stop and purchase the item there. Sure enough, after stopping in, after telling me she had no item, she looked in her back storage room and found the exact item I had requested that she said she did not have in stock. She asked me yet again how I came to know the item was there in her store. I referenced the leading of the Holy Spirit. Many questions to me by her about the Holy Spirit followed.

I probably shouldn’t be amazed at her lack of knowledge about the Holy Spirit, but it did astonish me  a bit and felt a prodding from the Holy Spirit now to write this blog; that there are others that proclaim to know our risen Christ but are lacking in their walk with the Lord because they don’t/can’t hear that “small quiet voice” that often is of the Lord leading us to a walk with Him that is of His best for all of us.

May I please suggest that while we all reflect in our prayer and meditation of the greatness of what God has done for us this “Holy Week”, that we go before Him and ask Him: “Lord, right now I will not ask you of anything of material but I praise You, Thank you and humbly  please ask for You to reveal your perfect plan in my life today ?”

My prayer for you is; you would indeed  hear His small quiet voice today.
