General Santos Team outreach April 2014
A short report of an averages day’s outreach, if there is any such thing as “Average” in outreach? Some praise worthy points to consider is that Nechelle who wrote this has recently turned 19 years and has been a Christian just a little over a year, Jose, is 17 years of age, he also was saved around a year ago. Joyjoy is 15
She gave her life to Christ same time as Nechelle, during an outreach to “The goddess of evil” mountain.
Angela, I think still 12 years. Arcel & Naomi & Quinnie are the oldest at also 19 years. The boldness & power of these young people is quite extraordinary. But if you knew their prayer life and surrender to the will of God perhaps you would not be surprised. Each of them can testify to amazing signs & wonders as they “Go Preach” in a lot of places others will not go. These are just is some of our Philippine family and we love them more than words can tell. If you are led to come and join them for a while, simply get in touch.
Good noon Brother George
Yesterday half of the team went to police Station then to Diagan while the other half of the team went to Emergency Hospital. If you remember Brother George, I emailed you that all of us will go to police station. But an hour before we left, Joy joy shared her dream to us. In her dream, she saw a dead baby and would have ready to be embalmed. When she looked around she saw the relatives of the child that crying because of what happened. While she's watching them, she heard a voice from God saying, "The baby's not dead but pray for the child." So she come closer and pray and after a while, the baby was revived and rose. Then Joyjoy said that she was led to go to emergency hospital. And since the other day I am convicted to go to emergency hospital also, so the team divide into two. I’m with Joyjoy, Angela & Regna to emergency hospital and Quinnie, Naomi, Arcel & Hose went to police Station then proceed to Diagan.
I have been in that police station before and I can tell a very short testimony when I first went there with Quinnie and Ate Naomi for police clearance. When we entered, I felt a tightness in my spirit I really felt the heaviness and initially, I have no idea of what was going on in my spirit. But when I look around, it answered my question. I saw two cells for the detained. One for the women and another for the men. We don't even notice them when we came in. That was my first time to see people inside the jail.
I am glad hearing the testimonies of Jose, Quinnie, ate Naomi & Arcel about the prisoners when they preached in police station. The girls preached to women & Jose, to men at the other room. They said that at first, the prisoners started to release bad thoughts especially when they said that allah is not God but a false god. Some of them are Muslim that is why their spirit was so reacting and it creates noise in the place, till one of the police there told them to be silent. And one of the women said "how can we listen? They are saying that our god is not the true God?". Then the police said, "That is why, listen." So they listen and the girls continue to speak. Same also with Jose, at first, the prisoners there were always laughing except of this man, who is a prisoner also, rise up his voice strong and said to those who laugh, to listen!
Jose told them that, "if you yourselves believe that Jesus is just a prophet, let me ask you this question, do you know a prophet aside from Jesus whom after death was resurrected on the third day? None, but its Jesus alone. Consequently, he is different from the prophets that you knew. He is the Son of God. Then one of the Muslim prisoners was thinking and silent. After few minutes, he agreed as what Jose preached. We look forward to returning to that place for them to visit again.
After that, they go straight to Diagan's Hospital and there they preached the Word of God and told the people there to repent from all sins because the Kingdom of God is near and soon.
And about our testimony also in Emergency, when we get to that place we ask permission to the watcher there and they allowed us. Then since we are four, we did pairs. I was with Joyjoy that time, Regna and Angela. We went room by room. And that time we want to challenge the people there for healing but because we did not receive permission from the Holy Ghost, we did not continue with that. Before we left, we pray and give thanks to the Lord.
When we check out to that room, again we have seen patients lying in their beds. We would like to go straight out but we brought back by Lord so we approached an elderly (77 years old) woman who obviously struggling her situation. We found out that she's a believer also from Baliton Glan Saranggani Province. She was injured and suffers multiple wounds and the doctor scheduled surgery. She love God so when she learned that we are bringing the word of God, she was extremely glad. We asked if she ever have idea why she was in the hospital lying. She replied, "because of the enemy."
Then I answered her again, "There are circumstances in our lives that God allowed to happen to test our faith, but there are also some areas in our lives that should be flattened and because we are blind most of the times to see those things, He allowed this kind of circumstances to discipline us because he loves us." Then I asked her again, " Do you have hatred to any person there in your heart?" She replied, "I love the Lord but you're also right that I have hatred in my heart to my grandchildren because they have always disobeyed me." Then she began to cry and repent. And I told her many thing’s, many verses and she asked me to list down those verses. We also encouraged her to continue to serve God and teach her grandchildren to learn to fear God. Then we pray, and also for her coming operation to be cancelled.
Then we go next to Obe/Gyne Ward. There are many people in that room and we started to preach. Outside of that room was Joyjoy & Regna preaching also to the patients.
We didn't able to meet the child in Joyjoy's dream but we do believe that the dream has something to say to the the old woman that we meet in the hospital yesterday. She's spiritually dead but was revived by the love & grace of our Lord Yeshua. Amen :)
We bring back all the glory & honor, praise & adoration to Him alone .
Nechelle
