Over 500 civilian professionals who underwent a six-month training for policemen participated in a leadership conference conducted by Word of Hope Pastors recently.

The participants, 40% of whom came from various professions including nurses and businessmen, are lateral entrants to the Philippine National Police, while 60% are graduates of criminology course.

The leadership conference aims to equip, empower and encourage the people in the police force and enable them to teach others also, in fulfillment of the Great Commission around the world. The lessons were based on Dr. John Maxwell’s EQUIP International Million Leaders Mandate – a worldwide initiative to develop millions of Christians as biblical servant leaders.

The conference was spearheaded by Pastors Jhun Cunanan, Gilbert Galvez, Julito Balista and Marivic Cabanes, with Khits Encarnacion assisting as power point presentor.. The conference was held at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig. The group hopes to duplicate the event in other PNP camps in Metro Manila. Click here to see the album

Over 3000 Souls Reaped at “Heaven’s Gate Hell’s Flames”

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:55:36 +0000

We praise the Lord for the great harvest of souls during the nightly showing of the evangelistic play, “Heaven’s Gates, Hell’s Flames”. Over 3,000 people, many of them, young and adults, and even children, came forward to accept the Lord Jesus as Savior during altar calls made by our Pastors which capped each nightly stage presentation.

It was a sight to behold as people with outstretched arms in surrender, surged forward to accept the invitation - many with tears in their eyes — as they repeated the sinner’s prayer.

Despite short practice, all the casts and characters played their parts like professional actors. Some characters even brought the house with their comic acts and ad libs.

Heaven’s Gate, Hell’s Flames is an evangelistic drama that has been performed worldwide. It is based on an evangelical interpretation of the Gospel, and presents the message that one must believe in Jesus in order to be saved and go to Heaven, or face eternal punishment in Hell.

Report from Cambodia Missions

Couple Warren and Victoria Aragona are just two of the select few who have been chosen to go to Cambodia, whom God is using mightily to plant churches, and reach the

They are the modern-day disciples who, like Paul and other Christ followers, have faced many trials and difficulties in their pursuit of helping fulfill the Great Commission. They have been exposed to constant danger. Several times thieves have broken into their house and stole their chickens until none was left. Their vehicle was under surveillance by the police patrol.. In the area where they live, many people are infected with AIDS, some have died. Victoria, a doctor by profession , had to treat a patient who was diabetic, and suspected to be a carrier of the deadly virus.

But praise be to God, His protective hand is always upon them. They have overcome the seemingly insurmountable crises that came across their way. Above all, their spiritual labor has paid off. Today, God has planted a church in Rumkoal and He has shown Himself to its people . The believers who have been baptized are active in church. Some of the believers have the potential to become pastors of their outreaches, and eventually one will become a Pastor in Rumkoal this end of the year.

Pastor Warren, Sister Victoria and the other missionaries need our prayers for them to endure the hardships in the missions field. To God be the glory!
