Cabay Crusade
We drove the longest to get to the church for this crusade. So many coconut trees. Like a coconut plantation! As we drove a long I was talking to God and thanking Him for all the mighty miracles and love He poured out on His children! The church was overflowing with people inside and outside! As usual, I started to play with the children. Shaking thier hands quickly, tugging on some of the ladies pony tails and act like one of the childrens did it! So much fun! It was awesome to hear the children laughing. It fills the church on surrounding areas, then more people can to see what was going on!
So many miracles! First person was an older man with back problems. God healed him. Then an older lady could not hear and God opened up her ears! I heard people gasp when the saw she could hear! What a mighty God we serve!
An old man came up and could not walk by himself. After we prayed, he walked, he did squats, he jump and we all shouted! A lady came up to have prayer for cough. I prayed for her, then asked her to take a deep breath. She started to cough for about 15-20 secs. Then I told her to take another deep breath, no cough. I told her to take another two more deep breaths, no more cough. She started to cry and then told us she had been coughing for the past 5 months and could not stop! What a mighty God we have! God healed back problem, breathing problems, headaches, deaf ears, and chest problems! God is GREAT!
When we were passing out the rice, I thought, Lord we only have 100 bags and there are more than 200 adults. Not only did all the adults get rice, but God provided enough for the oldest child, Ate(oldest sister) and Kuya(oldest broher) in each family as well! I lost count after 225 bags! To God goes all the Glory!

Salvations: 97
Fed: 225 families

Garbage People
On the way to the last 3 crusades we had to pass a garbage dump and there were people living near by going thru the trash. Before the last crusade, God told my wife, Lileth, to give them something. So we went to the store, got some juice packs, lolly pops, and individualy wrapped cookies. Put all that into seperate bags. We had about 20 bags. So after the Cabay crusade, driving back, we stopped at the garbage area. They asked me to stay in car, at first I wanted to say no, but God told me this is for Lileth to do, so I stayed in the car. It was totaly dark. Lileth, who is a city girl and does not like it when we are in areas that are totaly dark, got out took the bags and gave it to the people. She was so full of compassion for them! As soon as the people saw the flashlight they started to come out from all over. She told them God loves them and wanted to bless them!

Sunday Service
We were in Borogan at Pastor Robert church, New Life. It is amazing how God works! I was planning to teach on one subject, then God had me change it to teach on faith. Did not know why, just obeyed. After the service we found out they really needed a faith message! The church has to make a major decission and the elders and board where in the service. They told us they that the message challenged them to walk by faith! Praise the Lord!

Metro Manila Flood Outreach
Amazing how God puts all of this together for us. Thank you again partners! You made this possible! God used one of our JIC team members, my brother-in-law Resty, to organized this for us while we were in Samar. All of Lileth family helped us in packing and handing out the items. Each family got 4 bottles water, 4 packages of crackers, and 4 lolly pops. They really needed these. They have no way to cook anything and needed ready-to-eat items. We worked with the Philippine National Guard, Red Cross and Goverment workers. We went to Ultra evacuation center(it was a basketball arena were one of the pro basketball teams play) were they had two seperate groups of flood victims. We handed out the bags at both areas, about 175 families in each area. The National Guard took the other bags to the other evacuation center, since it had waist high water and they would not let us go into area due to malaria and disease in the water. They let us pray over the people, I prayed then Lileth translated what I said. Then Lileth started to share that it does not matter if you loose everything, it is your life that is important. And that Jesus Loves you! She told them to say Jesus, and everyone shouted Jesus! The people clapped thier hands. I then started to play with the children. They assigned a national guard member to follow me. She did not talk at all, just followed me. After a while I had all the children following me. They loved it when I would shake their hands fast, hug them, or tickle them. I just wanted to love on them with the Love of God!
We prayed for different individuals one-on-one. We saw God heal children with fever, people with back problems, headache, and one man who could not talk due to stroke, started to say the name of Jesus!
One of the Government workers told Lileth that the people needed prayer more than anything else. That we were the only ones that came and prayed for the people!
As we started to leave, we noticed that the people were happy and eating what we brought. We could sense God's presence and Love flowing upon the flood victims. They did not have anything, except a box or two and a mat to sleep on. What a priviledge and honor it was to bring God's Love to them! Thank you again for making this happen!

God Bless You! We love you all!
