That is,
to patiently listen. We may find it hard especially when we are put into an
unpleasant situation, but it still pays to exercise it.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A lesson from PAFCOE’s Friendship Evangelism class puts
it this way: <i>If we are willing to <b>patiently listen</b>, we will be tapping
into a natural resource. If we show <b>respect</b>
and <b>courtesy</b> by listening, we will
find others will begin to reciprocate it back to us. When we win their hearts,
we will win the right to be heard.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Such lesson, if put into practice by a soul-winner will
bring a remarkable result. And such was Elfeujun’s experience, a 3<sup>rd</sup>
batch graduate of PAFCOE’s Bible Work program.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“One day, I
was looking for tatay Godofredo in the mini park of San Juan City. When I found
him, we sat in the side way, studying our Bible lesson while the people were
passing in front of us. Halfway in our study, a man came with a barber’s electric
hair trimmer in his hand. He sat beside me and listened to our discussions. The
Bible study was over and tatay Fred left, yet the man stayed. I made friend
with him using the FORT method and learned his name. He was Dante Sales, a
retired seaman. I found out that his wife died last year and had no one to
attend to him because almost all of his children had families of their own,”
recounted Elfeujun.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> He went on to say, “After knowing him for that brief
moment, I inquired of his Christian life and found out that he was a Catholic.
I invited him to know more of the Bible by studying it together, but he refused
because he had, as he thought, enough knowledge of it. I tried to say to him
that he could increase his knowledge of the Word of God, but he insisted that he
knew already those things. He began discussing to me about Genesis. He talked
about God creating Adam, and Eve taken from his side. He talked of how they
sinned by eating the forbidden fruit and were sent away from paradise to till
the ground; and he went on talking….”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> “I felt that I was just wasting my time listening to
him, but because I had only 25 minutes left before lunch, I decided to listen
to his discussions. I really wanted to talk also, but for some reason, perhaps
the Lord held my tongue that I just managed to listen until he discussed about
the lamb being slain and its blood which was placed into the door posts of the
Hebrew houses so that the angel of the LORD will just pass by and leave the firstborn
alive,” he continued. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Convicted by the Holy Spirit, he finally spoke. “I
asked tatay Dante if he knew what the lamb symbolizes of. He couldn’t answer so
I took courage to present Jesus. I told him that the Lamb was Jesus as stated
in John 1:29, “Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.”
Surely, the Holy Spirit worked into his heart because he listened carefully. I
told him that Jesus—the begotten Son of God had to die so that the firstborn of
humanity symbolizing the descendants of man will not perish. I presented that
in the same way, we also needed a Savior because we are deeply plunged into sin
and cannot save ourselves; we knew what is wrong but are powerless to resist
it. We needed more than human power, we needed a Savior, and that is Jesus, the
Lamb of God,” he narrated. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sensing a
wonderful way to minister to the needs of tatay Dante, he showed some flyers he
brought with him. “That time, Sir Kevin was about to conduct the Prophecy of
Hope Seminar in Quezon City. I discussed to him the flyers,both the Prophecy
seminar and Health Expo. The Lord made him interested in the Health Expo
because he wanted to avail the free services especially the massage. I invited
him and praise the Lord he came with us!”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">“He listened
night after night and learned many things. He told us that he knew Jesus is
coming again but he did not know that the Bible clearly indicated the manner of
His appearing. He also liked the food we gave him every night because it was
vegetarian. He said it was good for his health for he had diabetes. I really
got thrilled what would be his reaction when he would learn about the Sabbath.
And when that topic was presented, he agreed to it! Praise God! But two weeks
after, we felt his absence. I was thinking maybe the truth got too much for him.
I contacted him and learned that he went to the province to make some work in
his properties. I felt sad because he couldn’t finish the seminar,” he told
with sadness.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Elfeu’s dying
hope was brought back to life when, “After a week, tatay Dante came back, yet
it was the last few days of the seminar. During the last Friday night, Sir
Kevin asked those who wanted to be baptized to stay. To my surprise, Tatay
Dante stayed.<i>Oh no!</i> I was thinking, ‘No,
we can’t bring some unconverted man into the church!’ Kuya Mark told me, ‘Well
then, this is the time that the <i>Clearing
Sheet</i> is much needed. Just clear him and show him that he lacked the
essential truths.’That Sabbath morning, tatay Dante brought <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>with
him his clothes because he wanted to be baptized. I took time to do the
clearing and told him that he should not feel bad if the Pastor would not permit
him for baptism that Sabbath day. Good thing there was another scheduled date
for baptism which would be two weeks after and he gladly consented,” he
reported.</span></span></div>

I studied with him daily to cover the topics he missed which were of great importance.
He received the truths openly and listened and discussed with us with joy. Two
weeks had passed, kuya Mark cleared him again and by God’s grace we found him
ready for baptism. When tatay was immersed into the watery grave, my heart was
pounding with joy. Praises be to God that He is patiently working into tatay
Dante’s life. We even praise God all the more that He is patient to us and
caused me to be patient also in listening to him. This experience taught me
that,<i>Evangelists should not just talk all

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> It’s all done! The orientation, door
to door survey and tips, even the classes in Personal Evangelism which proved
to be very needful to be taught prior to Batch 9 students’ first outreach
afternoon had already been discussed. The Outreach kits which had long been
prepared before they came were finally handed to every team. At last, the time
had come where they were to leave the classroom and put into action what they
had been taught of. </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That first outreach afternoon,
while the instructions were given, we could see the excitement in their faces,
as if anticipating wonderfully exceptional experiences in the field. Or perhaps,
a mixture of emotions for some countenances somewhat look worried and afraid at
the same time.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Needless to say, off they went with
maps in their hands—just making sure not to get lost! Their Outreach area is in
Barangay Galas, where the training seminar (Prophecies of Hope) will be held,
and its neighboring places. We have 7 teams doing the groundwork—preparing the <i>soil</i>, bringing people to the knowledge
of the truth.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">

</span></span><br />
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When you
are so excited for outreach yet you have a runny nose, it pays to bring a
handkerchief. But what if you forget to bring one? Would you just rather stay
and rest? Jaiza, who was suffering from runny nose that afternoon, failed to
bring her hanky. Not wanting to stay, she uttered a simple prayer. “Lord, kindly
stop my <i>runny nose</i> and just make me
feel okay.” </span></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Grateful
enough to know that the God she serves heard her request, Jaiza recounted how
He answered her prayer, “While in the field, I didn’t have a hard time wiping
or cleaning my nose. The outreach went on smoothly and I was able to approach
and survey many people without being bothered by it. Surely, God loves me that
He fulfilled His promise.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What would you do if after knocking
number of doors, telling people your wonderful purpose, still they don’t show
any interest in what you are offering? Would you quit and go home? Anjo, who
felt so disheartened because of the rejections he received, did something copy
worthy. “I decided to stop doing the survey and look for a place where I could
read my Bible and claim His promises. I then feel refreshed and comforted. With
renewed strength, my partner and I continued on approaching people with
confidence that He will perform what He had promised.”</span></span></div>

and Jeremy also did something worthy of copying, “After three consecutive
rejections, we stopped and prayed for a while. Then we went forward with
blessed hope that the people living in the next houses would accept us. And
true enough, they did!” God really hears. In 1 Kings 9:3<i> He assures, “I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou

I felt discouraged because some people told us that they were busy enough to

there are those who would take time to sit and glean lessons throughout
the day’s work.I count myself in. How about you? or how about our PAFCOE students
who spent their afternoon in the field seeking the lost? Sure enough they had learned
vital lessons out of their outreach experiences. </span></span></div>

experiences:</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: ArialMT, serif;">There really is no greater joy than to unite with our Redeemer in the work of soul saving. We recall how the seventy whom Jesus sent out </span><span style="color: #191919; font-family: ArialMT, serif; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">“returned…with joy” (Luke 10:17, KJV).

Moreover, all of heaven is most exultant. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was invited by my friend, an Adventist, to come to a seminar that was on April 10 to May 9, 2015, in Parang Cantilan SDA Church. It was a Prophecy of Hope Seminar and I Attended one meeting. When I came there, I was so amazed with the presentation because it was so clear to me. Unlike the priest’s way of preaching, I really appreciated the truths being discussed and then I felt being not in the True Church as a Catholic. I also realized that my religion has no restrictions. Everything I heard was new to me and my soul have developed a deep interest of knowing more about God. So, I decided to continue attending the seminar.</span></div>

I am born in an Adventist family, but I can say that I was half of the world’s. I was so worldly as my peers also were not Adventist—they were even drug addicts. I was so influenced by them that I seldomly attended church, even twice in a year only. I had many vices such as drinking alcoholic beverages and playing with girls. Joining dance competitions and disobeying my parents were just normal for me. I know the teachings of Seventh-day Adventist Church but I were not serious about it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">My Father is one of the elders in our church and it is through him that I knew about the coming evangelistic seminar in our place. Excited of what will going to happen, I tried to attend at the start of the meeting. Then I were so amazed by the truths I learned. I have never heard about it before. Everything was new and refreshing to me. I was so interested that I continue attending every meeting. I learned many things such as The Seal of God, The Mark of the Beast, The Satan’s Trojan Horses. All made a great impact in my life that I realized that we really need to obey God. I then changed my life’s path and have a commitment to be prepared for every temptation that would come, especially that I had peers. I want to stand for the truth and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">be strong in faith to God. Now I love to listen to my parents.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Having the word of God in my mind, I want to cleanse my sins and have a new life with Jesus. So, I decided to follow Jesus in baptism and I want to grow in Christ. This time, I want to deal with my faith seriously. Now that I have a new life, I will do my best to share God’s love with other people.</span></div>

I had a lot of chores at home that I even forgot my soul. I also took care of my grandchildren. I was doing many work such as selling fish and any work just to help my family. I knew that my soul is dying. I even felt one time to go back to the LORD but our church was destroyed because of natural disasters and from that time on, no one dared to visit our church and the members. Not only me, but almost all of the members died spiritually. Before, I had a dream that there was a light appearing from heaven and I heard a voice saying “Jesus Christ is coming again!” In my heart, I know that I need to go back to God but I do not know how. I was hoping for so long that someone will come in our place to visit and help us be revived and awakened in faith.</span></div>

So, I glad responded and attended the meetings as much as I am available.</span></div>

As a growing youth, I need my parents to guide me of my decisions. However, I did not have the privilege to be taken care of my parents because they separated when I was still very young. I was just left in my grandma’s house and my life was not easy, not being with my mother and father. Then, I grew very naughty making my life so alone and miserable. I was longing for a motherly and fatherly love and care. I was a Roman Catholic as my parents and grandmother were so, but I never had a deep knowledge about God.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One day, missionaries came to our place in Can-initon, Mandaon, Masbate. The evangelist invited me to attend the children’s program in Prophecies of Hope Seminar. So, I went to the children’s program and I enjoyed being there. The program was so nice that I kept on attending it. I have learned many things about God and His wonders. <b><span style="font-size: large;">I learned how God love and died for us just to save us. I love to hear the stories about Jesus.</span></b> Also, I learn new songs from the Bible. My favorite song is the 10 Commandments. The seminar really made a great impact in my life to be a good girl. My character was changed and I am afraid now to do naughty things. Also, I do not like to eat pork anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I heard the truth about the Bible and the True Church, I then decided to follow and accept Jesus through baptism. I want to see Jesus in heaven. Now that I have accepted Jesus as my Savior, I am going to apply the things I learned. Young as I am, I am happy to know the truth and I will share it to my family and friends.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Yes, much has happened since the last post I wrote about Pastor Doug coming to Manila.<br />
<br />
During the OJT (On the Job Training) time that all our PAFCOE student were out at their various sites doing their evangelistic meetings, our family headed to Zambia, Africa for our own evangelistic meetings there. God richly blessed our work there and you can read the stories from our time there on our new blog <a href="http://amazingfactsafrica.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>Africa Adventures</b></a>.<br />
<br />
One of the reasons that we went to Africa was to check out the possibilities of starting another Amazing Facts School of Evangelism on that great continent. We praise God for the opportunities He is working out for us there and we invite each one of you to follow our new <a href="http://amazingfactsafrica.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> and watch the stories of God's leading there in Africa. <br />
<br />
So our family is transferring our mission work from the Philippines to Africa to start another school of evangelism there soon. But PAFCOE is not ending! As you saw from the last post by Kevin (the new PAFCOE director), the 8th session/batch of PAFCOE is accepting applicants and will continue under the local Filipino leadership that we have trained to carry on in our absence. So he or his other staff will be the ones posting on this blog from now on.<br />
<br />
We encourage each of you to follow the miracles that God will be working in the future both in the Philippines and in Africa! We will certainly miss all our dear friends in the Philippines, but we trust that the school will continue as we launch out into a new location.<br />
<br />
May God richly bless you!Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02354884383012568615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281501082388385732.post-55562292959834719222015-06-02T22:50:00.001+08:002015-06-02T23:10:45.456+08:00PAFCOE 8th Session Registration is Ongoing - Online Registration is Now Available!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWxv6yLBT04svbbtlY_wkfg-8kkH2LWhvVndyJXwtbnJgXLPqXvv6j9EhEC3onI6hh3n-heLJJhyphenhyphenTUutv5-h-zxgs2YprJXGrw4F3CM3nNYo8wlmfD0fJm_mmK-7aAueo7fGCu3qmOTlNx/s1600/Picture1.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWxv6yLBT04svbbtlY_wkfg-8kkH2LWhvVndyJXwtbnJgXLPqXvv6j9EhEC3onI6hh3n-heLJJhyphenhyphenTUutv5-h-zxgs2YprJXGrw4F3CM3nNYo8wlmfD0fJm_mmK-7aAueo7fGCu3qmOTlNx/s200/Picture1.png" width="199" /></a><br />

Those are just some of the many things you will be learning
during the 3 month training program! After the 3 months of class instruction
and in-the-field outreach, you will be sent on a one-month OJT (On the Job
Training) for public evangelism – for adults or for children.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The experiences you will gain during that one month evangelism
program are truly priceless! The stories our students bring back with them are truly
evidence that God uses anyone in His great work of soul-winning! One student
said, “I am so grateful to PAFCOE for all I have learned! During my OJT, all
the things I had been taught came back to me just at the right time I needed
them and I knew exactly what to do in each situation! Praise God for using me!”<br />

Maybe you are reading this from another country other than
the Philippines. Is God calling you to join, but you aren’t sure how you could
come to a foreign country to take the training? In every single session, we
have foreign students coming from all over the world and God blesses them just

In March of 1942, at the height of World War II with
Japanese forces advancing on the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur was
forced to leave the islands. During his departure he made the famous
promise, “I shall return.” And he did, to bring liberty to the Filipinos.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2002 Pastor Douglas Batchelor was forced to cut short an
evangelistic series at the Cuneta Astrodome because of the tragic death of his
oldest son. Like General MacArthur, Pastor Batchelor promised the
Filipino brethren that he would “return,” a promise that he was able to
fulfill—not once, but twice!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From March 6 – 14 of this year, Pastor Doug preached to
thousands in the same astrodome where he had started meetings in 2002.
“Prophecy Countdown” was an epoch event for Adventists and their friends in
Metro Manila. HOPE television filmed the nightly meetings, and then
rebroadcast them the following day to viewers throughout the Philippines.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God’s word brought liberty to hundreds of guests who
attended the nightly meetings and decided to be baptized, and revival to the
thousands of church members who came from all parts of Manila.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PAFCOE students and Bible workers participated in many of
the activities of the evangelistic series with Pastor Doug, and were thrilled
to see their interests joining in the mass-baptisms. Aside from the many
additions to the various churches throughout the sprawling metropolis,
“Prophecy Countdown” has been instrumental in launching a new church in a
district of Manila that, till now, has had no Seventh-day Adventist
church. PAFCOE Bible workers are continuing to follow up interests in
this district with Bible studies and prophecy lectures.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
March 2015 has been an eventful month here in Manila for the
Amazing Facts School of Evangelism (PAFCOE). When this month ends, PAFCOE
students and staff will again scatter out over the archipelago to conduct about
25 one-month evangelistic campaigns in nine different conferences. This
seventh session of PAFCOE is especially nostalgic for the Hargreaves family, as
it concludes thee-and-one-half years of ministry in these islands. There
have been many challenges, but we look back with joy and satisfaction on what
God has done through the Amazing Facts ministry here in the
Philippines. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An excellent team of trained teachers and staff is in place
to take over the leadership of PAFCOE. As this 7<sup>th</sup> session is
concluding, we are entrusting the responsibilities of PAFCOE to committed local
Filipinos who will be carrying on the program of training laypeople in
Southeast Asia to win souls. We urge those of you who have supported the
evangelistic ministry of Amazing Facts here in the Philippines to continue to
do so. PAFCOE especially needs your prayers and support for the next
session which is August 6 – December 9, 2015. Thank you for your continue
support!</div>

<br />
The Lord has given us 30 students who are taking the full-course program and 20 students who have joined the iShare program happening only on Sundays. This is the first program that we have no international students, but our students come from all parts of the Philippines and what a great group they are!<br />
<br />
Many things have been happening here at PAFCOE since we began and we are looking forward for what God will do for us in the future!<br />
<br />
Outreach has already begun and the students are finding many people interested in doing Bible studies! Soon some of their stories will be posted for you to enjoy!<br />
<br />
Next week, our health expo will begin along with the prophecy seminar in which our students will be learning how to do a public evangelistic seminar for either the adults or the children. The area that has been selected as the site for the seminar is a densely populated area, so we are praying for a good number of people to come to the program!<br />
<br />
Also another session of the Bible Worker Intern Program has begun, training PAFCOE graduates on how to be a successful Bible worker. This is a big program with 14 interns working mostly in the area of San Juan. This area has no church yet and though many efforts have been done to plant a church there, nothing has proved successful so far. By God's grace and the hard work of our interns, more than 250 Bible studies are being conducted all throughout that "hard" territory! Praise God! By His grace, a church <b>will</b> be planted in San Juan!<br />
<br />
Everyone is looking forward for the arrival of Pastor Doug Batchelor, who is coming to Manila for a one week reaping series in March!<br />

Her partner, Jasel, the child evangelist, said, “As we went
out for flyer distribution, I felt so weak. Rashes appeared on my hands and
feet and my face became reddish until I realized that I had measles. But I couldn’t
let the devil win and so I just decided to keep pushing on and start my
children’s program anyways. It was very difficult to teach the children while I
was fighting the urge to scratch my itchy skin and my hands turning numb
sometimes. I had to keep my distance from them because I didn’t want them to
get measles, too. Finally, in about a week, I was so happy that most of my
symptoms were gone and I was able to have more strength again!”</div>

She continued, “But then what was so amazing was that God
had been giving me just the amount of strength I needed to keep teaching. And He
had placed His restraining power over the children to help them be quiet and
listen so I wouldn’t have problems in trying to keep them under control. But as
I gained strength, the challenges began! The children were getting to know each
other and started making noise during the meeting. But God continued to give me
just the help and strength I needed to meet their needs. Also in the beginning,
the youth and church members came and helped me with preparing all the crafts
so it wasn’t difficult for me to do it alone.”</div>

Previous evangelists who had gone to that area had given
away free gifts as incentives to keep people attending. However, it’s not the
best way to keep an audience because the people aren’t necessarily coming for
the truth – they are coming for the free gifts. During Apple and Jasel’s
seminar, they realized the people who were attending were really coming for the
Word of God – not something free to be given out. In the middle of their
program, Apple’s grandfather died and while she was very sad about it, that
didn’t stop her from continuing to preach God’s Word!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another amazing thing that happened was that all during the week, there was no rain. But every Thursday (their free day), the rain poured so heavily they could not even go out. God was holding the rain during the week so the people could come to the meetings! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back to the children’s program experiences, Jasel reports, “One
night, I asked the children to stand for an action song and after we were done,
the children were to sit down again. Some of them were refusing to sit down and
I insisted they cooperate. Finally some of the other children pulled on those
standing to force them to sit down. That made one boy off balance and he
tumbled off the chair he had been standing on head first to the floor. The whole
thing happened so quickly that I couldn’t believe it had happened! I ran to him
and he was crying, but as I checked his head, I was amazed! No bumps, no
scratches, nothing! I could only think of one thing: God gave me proof of His
protecting power. I led the child to the other end of the room and had him sit
down and he was fine. A week later, he still was fine and I praise God for
keeping him safe!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Day by day, the Apple and Jasel continued sharing God’s Word
in their site and He richly blessed them! Apple said, “Though this is a hard
area, there were people who chose to be baptized! I am so happy and blessed
with the testimonies that they shared when we visited with them before they
were baptized. We could really see the transformation in their lives! God is
really working on their hearts! The backsliders were coming back to church
again and there are so many other amazing things that God did during our time
there! One of those who were baptized told me that he had almost been killed
several times, but that God had saved him so that he could hear the truth and
come to know the Lord!”</div>

Praise the Lord for those who chose to be baptized at the
end of their program! One of them said, “My life before was so bad. But my
wife-to-be invited me to the seminar and I came. There I learned that before I was
even born, my Creator had thought of me and he knew everything about me! I
learned that He is my friend and protector – the One I can turn to at anytime.
When I learned so much about this loving Lord, I wanted to give my life to Him.
I am precious in His eyes. That’s why I will not allow a single minute to go by
without allowing Him to be my Savior and Lord. My life greatly changed during
this program. What I once loved to do, I no longer do. I am so grateful to the
Lord for sending Amazing Facts to this place to help me learn more about Him!
The lectures were so clear and easy to understand and all from the Bible.
Praise God for what He did in my life!”</div>

Apple and Jasel's site were one of those who were praying the coming typhoon would not affect their baptism and final meeting. The waves at the beach were high, but that didn't stop the candidates from sealing their decisions for Christ that day! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was so hard to believe at the end that they had really
finished and God had helped them each step of the way. Yes, He had given them
all the help and strength they needed to keep going! What was their advice to
others?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Surrender everything to God – even the challenges you face.
Remember that it’s God’s work and He will never leave you. Don’t forget your
connection with God and don’t get discouraged. God will use you mightily for
Him!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Pray and trust God always. Have faith in His promises and
everything will be just fine. Take every step, one step at a time, holding the
hand of the Master Teacher and you will find true success and satisfaction in
your work for God.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Never fear, friends! God will give you just the help you
need when you run into challenges! Take courage!</div>

Many times when we are working for God, His protecting hand
is over us keeping us safe from seen and unseen dangers. Rujan* and Rob* were
assigned for their OJT on an island in the southern part of the Philippines and
what adventures they experienced there! Here are their stories.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Even during the first week, Rujan and Rob felt God’s
protecting hand over them! Rob said, “Last Sabbath, we were invited to another
church in another place. After the program, we were returning to the site for
our evening meeting on 2 motorcycles. I was ahead of my partner, Rujan and his
driver. I did not realize that we were in danger at that time! But suddenly 2
more motorcycles sped up behind Rujan and his driver and were trying to do
something to be able to “kidnap” the motorcycle and take it away. We sped
faster, hoping to reach the main highway where more people were so we would not
be hurt as it seemed that the men could hurt us. Later we learned that these
same men had killed several people earlier. It was a race for survival and we
hurried to the main road. Soon we reached it and jumped off the motorcycles to
ride a bus going to our site. Those people who were trying to overtake us stood
around staring at us, talking in their own language and we didn’t know what
they were saying. The bus soon came and we jumped on and praised God for
keeping us safe! We soon found out that stealing motorcycles is very common in
this area.”</div>

the devil wanted to make problems and distractions for Rujan and Rob, but God’s
protecting hand was over them and they were saved! But that wasn’t the only
time God kept them safe. Because many of the children coming to Rob’s children’s
program were coming from a place quite far from their site, Rob and some of his
friends would bring them home every night. The road was very dark and the homes
were very far, but every night the Lord’s protecting hand was over them. Rob
made it a point to pray with the parents of the children, for which they were
very appreciative and continued to let their children attend his program. More
challenges arose when the electricity went off just as they were to start the program,
but God helped them to be able to still continue anyways.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rujan, the adult evangelist, said, “About halfways through
my one month program, it was exactly 6:30 in the evening when I was ready to
start and suddenly we heard gunshots nearby. I was tempted to be afraid, but
remembered God’s promises and instead of fear, I felt peace. That night 2 men
were killed (not at our site, but nearby) and our attendees were afraid to keep
attending. Satan was really trying to cause problems! But we kept on praying
and God kept on helping us each step of the way.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

just returned from a northern island where she had been working as a helper for
an Adventist family. This lady had been observing the ways of the Adventists
and was very impressed with everything she saw. But then, the owner had a
relative who was sick and couldn’t afford to pay for his helper anymore and so
she went home and that’s where Rujan and Rob found her. She wanted to attend
the Adventist church and learn more about Him!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rob was so inspired with the commitment of his children to
the truths they were learning each night! When he challenged them to try a 10
day trial and put God first and many of them did! One girl started cooking some
of her own food when her mother fixed food with unclean meat in it so she could
follow the Bible.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But the most inspiring experience came the final weekend.
Rob described it by saying, “When one of my students, a 14 year old girl,
approached me late in the program and asked to be baptized, I was very
surprised. She had wanted to be baptized before, but always said, ‘in the near
future – not now.’ But the last Friday, she told me she wanted to be baptized
that Sabbath and had always said in the future before because she knew that
parents didn’t approve of her decision. After the program that night, I went
with her to her house to talk with her parents. Her father said she could be
baptized when she turned 18, not now. So I decided that the girl could not be
baptized because we don’t want to baptize a minor without the parent’s consent.
Sabbath came and the girl asked to go with us to the baptism and just watch and
see what it’s like. But when we arrived at the site, I was surprised to see her
stand in the line of the baptismal candidates. I asked her, ‘Why are you here?
Your parents won’t allow you to be baptized.’ She looked up at me and said, ‘Kuya
(older brother), no matter what happens to me, my decision is final and I must
follow Jesus.’”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“I thought to myself, ‘Now I am in big trouble with the
father. What will he say when he finds out about it? Surely he will get angry
with me!’ Then I prayed, ‘Lord, please solve this problem that you will touch
the father’s heart.' Soon the girl was led into the water and tears filled her
eyes as the Pastor pronounced the vow before baptized her. That evening, I went
with her to her parent’s home and all along the way, I kept praying for wisdom
to know how to handle the father. I was so surprised with her parents’
reaction! They were not angry and the father said, ‘Well, if that’s your
decision, we can do nothing about it. I don’t want you to stop learning and
continuing to grow. Be faithful to what you learned.’ We prayed for them and
left, praising God!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He added, “I learned not to be weary in well-doing. Though
every night, we walked about one kilometer sending the children to their homes,
when I saw some of the baptized, it was all worth it! We visited with the
parents, too and thus won many hearts. We never left their homes without a
payer and though we were tired going back to our home, our hearts were full of
happiness and joy!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over and over again, Rujan and Rob saw God’s protecting hand
and care over them during their OJT. Rob said, “Always depend on what God can
do through you! You might face giants, but go forward and God will take care of
them! Sometimes God allows trials to come to us to help us look more to Him. He
know that through Him, we can do all things!”</div>

He was assigned in an island in the southern part of the
Philippines and this is what he said the first week, “During the opening night
when everything was ready for our start, it rained so hard. We were supposed to
start at 5:30 but it rained and didn’t stop until 6:45, so we started soon
after. We couldn’t continue when it was raining because we were using an open
venue with no roof over it. But we still praise the Lord that people came! The
rest of this first week, it rained every afternoon, but stopped before our
program and continued after we finished! Truly God sheltered and protected us!”</div>

turn that into a blessing by holding the rain so His Word can be preached!
Later on, Fermin said, “I was so tempted to polish my sermons until late
afternoon to be sure I really understood them and just forget about visiting
people. But I decided not to do that. So we went with our Pastor to visit one
of our church members in the area who was very old and not able to attend
church anymore. We did worship with he and his family and I shared a devotional
from the Bible. The old man said, ‘I was almost tempted to think that no one
cared for me anymore since I have been in bed for 10 years now, but I’m so
happy and blessed to have my fellow church members visiting me!’ Then I realized
how important it is to do visitation and that in seeking the good of others is
where true happiness is found. We started doing Bible studies with his wife who
was not an Adventist and saw how hungry his family was to learn from God’s
Word.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the time that Fermin and his partner were there in
that town, a woman was stabbed and several others were killed and soon the
rumor spread through the village that this was a cult and people became afraid
to go out at night for fear of what might happen to them. One night, Fermin
asked one of his faithful attendees if she was fearful to go out at night to
their program. She said, “I don’t care if I am hit by a bullet or something
else, because what’s important to me is to hear the Word of God.” What
commitment!</div>

When the program was moved to the church from the open

who continued on coming to the program. Fermin said, “This week, I really had
to be dependent on God as I preached the ‘hot’ topics – antichrist, mark of the
beast, etc. It seemed that I never had enough time to learn my sermon, but when
I preached, it was so amazing! It was like it was not me preaching, but God
through me. I learned that even if there’s not much time to spend on learning

be unto you." John 20:19. Brethren and sisters, I [we] wish you, one and
all, a happy new year.” (Our Father Cares, page 7.) </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Super-Typhoon Yolanda really made the headline news last
year as the Category 5 storm that came barreling into the Philippines with wind
speeds of up to 195 mph on November 10, 2013. Very few structures were able to
stand up to such severe wind and many people lost their lives, making it one of
the most deadly typhoons ever to hit the Philippines. In Tacloban City (a city
in Eastern Philippines) alone, more than 90% of the city was destroyed. More
than one year later, the areas that were hardest hit by the typhoon are still
trying to recover.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Typhoon Yolanda made its landfall on the morning of the day
that all our student’s evangelistic meetings were scheduled to start. Many of
the sites were affected and a number of them were not able to start their seminar
that night. Some had serious challenges to face in finding ways to get
electricity and other items needed to start. And yet, through it all, God’s
amazing grace was seen! None of our students lost their lives and all were able
to start their seminars within a few days of the typhoon’s landfall! Though
some of them had a rough start, God still blessed and gave them amazing stories
and experiences of His love and power! When those students returned from their
seminars for graduation, what stories they had to tell of what God had done in
their areas!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
June through November is the season of typhoons here in the
Philippines, so as the fall session of PAFCOE 2014 approached, we wondered
whether again another super-typhoon would try to interrupt the work of God as
our PAFCOE students would go out for their On the Job Training – one month
evangelistic seminars. But all went well as the starting date arrived and no
storm was on the horizon. Praise God! No typhoons!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://philnews.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Super-Typhoon-Hagupit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://philnews.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Super-Typhoon-Hagupit.jpg" height="291" width="400" /></a>Week after week went by until the fourth and final week of
the seminar arrived. The target date of the baptism and final meeting was
December 6. On December 2, news began to circulate that another large typhoon
was headed towards the Philippines with possibilities of reaching a
super-typhoon size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure enough, within
two days (by December 4), Typhoon Hagupit (locally known as Ruby) had developed
into a super-typhoon status with winds up to 180 mph. Major evacuations that
involved thousands of people were done in low-lying areas to avoid the high
death rate of the previous year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During this session of PAFCOE, most of our student’s sites
were located in the central Philippines – the very regions hard-hit by Typhoon
Yolanda last year. Super typhoon Hagupit was scheduled to hit the very same
areas as the previous year – places still trying to recover and rebuild from
the vast devastation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Typhoon Hagupit was on target to hit the Philippines on Friday,
December 5, the beginning of the final weekend of our student’s seminars. So
all of us (students, staff and others who were involved) began to earnestly
pray that God would do something to send away the typhoon or at least, divert
it. What followed that day and the next was astonishing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mysteriously, Super-Typhoon Hagupit suddenly started greatly
losing its speed and wind power. All day Friday passed and still it had not
arrived. The students were able to still have their meeting Friday night. By
early morning of Sabbath, it was no longer the super typhoon category 5 storm,
but just category 3. Still prayers ascended to heaven that it would be delayed
long enough for the baptisms and final meetings to take place that Sabbath. God
heard those prayers and Typhoon Hagupit advanced even more slowly!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Sabbath night after the baptisms and final meetings were
finished, it made landfall. But by now it was not so strong or fierce as
expected. All the seminars were able to complete their topics before the storm
hit and when it did, it wasn’t as bad as anticipated. Typhoon Hagupit advanced
through the Philippines more and more slowly, until when it passed south of
Manila, it was just a tropical storm – not the category 5 storm it was supposed
to be.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was as if God placed His hand upon that enormous storm
and “tamed” it! He took the speed and fury right out of it and said, “Hitherto
shalt thou come, but no further…” Job 38:11. The storm was not allowed to
interfere with His work of spreading the gospel to the people who needed to
hear it!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Truly God hears the prayers of those who cry to Him! “<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">The righteous</span> cry, and the Lord
heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” Psalms 34:17.</div>

What an amazing God we serve! He can take a seeker for truth
and change him/her into a soul winner for Him! This is one of those stories!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Ruby seldom went to church because she considered herself
too busy with her office job to find time for that. Besides, she described the
mass as “boring,” so why should she go there anyways? Along with moderately
smoking and occasionally drinking alcohol, she loved to follow the latest
fashion trends in dress. Most of her busy life was spent in the office and with
her family.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But though Ruby would read the Bible once in awhile, she
didn’t understand most of it. Something seemed to be missing from her life. So
she began praying that God would send someone to explain the Bible to her.
Though she had visited different religions, none of them seemed quite right. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Usually after work, Ruby stayed in her house, but one
afternoon as she went out of the house, she found her younger sister talking
with two young men dressed in Amazing Facts uniforms named James and Fermin. As
she approached them, she was impressed that they were dressed so professionally
and spoke so politely to her when she asked what they wanted. Fermin and James
asked her if she had heard about Amazing Facts before. She had not, so they
invited her to do their simple survey, to which she agreed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the end of the survey, when they asked her if she would
like to study the Bible, Ruby readily agreed. This was the answer to her
prayers! So week by week, Fermin and James returned to share with her God’s
truth. As they studied together with Ruby, her son and her younger sister, she
told them, “I feel such peace in my heart with all these things I am learning!”
Fermin said, “I was so inspired that God used providential circumstances to
guide us to Ma’am Ruby!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As they studied the Bible with Ruby, they invited her to the
upcoming Prophecies of Hope seminar. Describing their conversation, she said,
“I was very interested in that program and determined to attend.” Of course,
the devil did not want Ruby to learn about God’s truth from the Bible and she
met with challenges right from the beginning. The venue for the Prophecy
seminar was not in a very easily accessible place and Ruby and her companions
got lost on her way there since she was not familiar with the place. So they
stopped and asked the University of the Philippines students where the venue
was since it was on their campus. But no one seemed to know where that was.
Finally one student opened his phone and through Google maps was able to show
them how to get there. Ruby and her companions were so happy to finally reach
the venue and find Fermin and James waiting for them there! Ruby enjoyed the
meeting and determined to come again to learn more from God’s Word.</div>

After Pastor Lowell and Michael (they were team preaching)
shared the topic of salvation, James said, “I could tell that our interest, Ma’am
Ruby was convicted about the topic and that the Holy Spirit is working on her
heart. After that meeting, she told us that all her confusion was gone and such
amazing peace filled her heart! Also she understood the Bible very clearly now.
Before we went home, we prayed together and tears filled her eyes. I was so
inspired by what God is doing!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Speaking of the prophecy seminar, Ruby said, “Each night I attended,
I learned new and amazing facts about the Bible and things I had never known before.
My interest grew and grew each day and I couldn’t wait to see what would be in
the next topic! I had been very afraid of the book of Revelation before, but
not now!”</div>

Fermin and James were so happy to know that when Pastor
Lowell and Michael preached on the topic of baptism, Ruby decided to be
baptized for they knew the Holy Spirit was working in her heart! James said, “We
were so happy when Ma’am Ruby chose to keep the Sabbath and change her day off from
Tuesday to Sabbath so she could follow all God’s commandments! We also noticed
that she is so eager to share with she has learned with her family and office
workers.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Day by day continued to pass and Ruby faithfully attended
each meeting and she said, “Little by little my life began to change as I learned
more and more truth from the Bible. I changed my lifestyle, my dress and how I used
to eat. Now I spend more time reading and meditating on God’s Word and praying rather
than on the computer or watching TV. Knowing God’s Word gives you peace and
hope in life!”</div>

The last Sabbath, Ruby together with many others sealed her commitment
to Christ in baptism! James said, “It is in ministry and service that I have
experienced true happiness and genuine peace! When I went through the welcoming
line to greet all the newly baptized people, I felt that was one of the most
precious moments in my ministry to see someone that I had worked for there! I feel
that God is so great to use my partner and me to reach some of these precious
souls! All heaven must be rejoicing with us, too!”</div>

Fermin, his partner said, “Though there were many obstacles

Soon after her baptism, Ruby said, “As a Christian and mother,
I am responsible to help save the souls of those around me. I will start by
teaching my children and my husband and then seek to share what I learned with
others. I believe God will use me too!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And that’s not the end of the story! When two of the PAFCOE iShare
students were looking for a site to hold their small group Bible study OJT (On
the Job Training), Ruby offered the use of her home to which they gladly
accepted. For the next month, Ruby and her family and those who came to attend,
listened to another prophecy series presented through a small group Bible
study. She was so happy to do something to help others learn more about the
Jesus she loved so much!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Speaking about her experience at the seminar, Ruby said, “If
you are looking for the truth, this is an excellent place to find it! Knowing the
prophecies of the Bible will open your mind to what is really happening in the
world today and give you hope for the future! Each topic was presented in a
confident, dynamic way that drew you into the picture.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then she added, “The students of Amazing Facts (PAFCOE) are
very persistent in their work. Also they are modest and presentable and speak
correctly and politely. I am really amazed with their knowledge of the Bible
though they are young! My questions were answered satisfactorily from the
Bible!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Praise God for turning Ruby from a truth-seeker to a soul
winner for Him! God has amazing ways of bringing souls to Him!</div>

head out onto the streets to do canvassing – selling books house to house.
Selling anything door to door isn’t easy, let alone spiritual books, but our
students persevered and God gave them marvelous experiences! They are selling
two books – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Great Controversy </i>and
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Health and Peace (The Ministry of
Healing). </i>Let me share some of them with you!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One student said, “We prayed together with my partner before
we went out for canvassing. Since we didn’t have much time to work, we hurried
to our area and soon saw two people talking. We smiled at them and canvassed
them with our books. One of them was already practicing healthy lifestyle and
bough the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Health and Peace</i> book right
away and encouraged his friends to also buy it. Praise God!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another said, “I was inspired this week because we sold our
first book! God led us to a woman who was the secretary of a small business. It
was raining very hard and we ran into her store to take shelter from the rain.
As we waited, we were impressed to canvass the lady, but both of us felt shy
and hesitant. Then we saw that she was looking at a book and when we moved
closer, it was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Great Controversy</i>!
When we asked her about it, she told us that she had just bought it from some
other girls dressed like us. We offered her the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Health and Peace</i> book and she bought it too!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of our foreign students said, “This week, we canvassed a
government official and he bought a book from us! And he gave a very generous
donation too! Later on, we passed a lady selling health products and taking
blood pressures. So I started talking to her and thought she would like the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Health and Peace</i> book, but no! She was
interested in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Great Controversy</i>!
I realized that many of God’s people are in search of truth and waiting for us
to approach them. I thank God for this inspiring week!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another foreign student added, “This week, I went to MAMC
(Manila Adventist Medical Center) to get a prescription for my thyroid. As I
chatted with the doctor, he found out more about me and then wrote the
prescription I needed as well as how much I needed to pay him. Then a thought
popped into my head that I could try to sell him one of my books! He proudly
informed me that he had all those books on his phone and reads them every day
and didn’t need my books! So I proceeded to ask for a donation instead to help
cover our expenses. He responded with, 'Okay, I will make your medical fee for
free! That is my donation to you.' I discovered later on that it was a good amount
that I had saved! I was so happy and inspired!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And one more, “This week we walked very far in our outreach
and finally we came to a very important government building. We decided to
canvass the people there. Most of them were so busy and we spent a lot of time,
but no one bought a book. Then we came to a door and inside was a man writing
on a paper. So we approached him and he really listened to our canvass and then
decided to buy the book! Then later on, 3 more people bought books too! Another
day, we went to a place that is hard to enter. When the guard asked us who we
were, we showed him our student ID and he said, ‘You are a student who studies
in a Bible school? So you are missionary? Okay! Just come in!’ We were so
happy!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She also said, “When we were canvassing a man in a different
place, I told him all about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Great
Controversy</i>. After I finished, I asked him what he thought of the book and
he replied, ‘It’s all about history.’ Then I asked him if he was interested in
the book and he said, ‘Yes. So I will know what will happen in the future,
because I see this is a prophecy book.’ And he bought the book!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another said, “When we went to do outreach this week, we
were planning to give the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Health and
Peace</i> to one of our Bible students because she had done so well. When we
arrived at her house, I pulled out the book to show her when she excitedly told
me that she had already bought a book like that from other Amazing Facts people
(probably our classmates). But she had given it as a gift to someone else and
she was so happy to receive the book from us!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And one more said, “Canvassing was a completely new
experience for me this week. I went out with an idea of what it would be like,
but as I came back, I recognized something even if we sold no books. I felt so
blessed anyways! It was my first experience and through it, I got increased
confidence and that was worth all the rejections! God may not always give you
success but He does know how to shape our characters!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you haven’t experienced the joy of canvassing, then we
invite you to do so! You will not regret it!</div>

Center of Evangelism) is an evangelism training center where students of all
nationalities can be trained in the techniques of soul-winning. PAFCOE offers a four-month training course
for full time students. During this course students learn personal, public,
literature, health, and child evangelism. In addition, subjects on Daniel and
Revelation and Bible doctrines are taught. For local professionals who are
working, PAFCOE also offers a 12 Sunday training in personal evangelism known as
“iShare.” In addition, PAFCOE offers a
Bible worker intern program where selected PAFCOE graduates are offered the
opportunity to practice Bible work for a six-month period usually in
preparation for an evangelistic effort. Through
the diligent efforts of the PAFCOE students aided by the power of the Holy
Spirit, PAFCOE has been able to give thousands of an opportunity to hear the
good news of salvation. The full course program consists of three months of
training and one month of OJT (On the Job Training) in which all students
conduct an adult or child evangelistic seminar. Each session, more than 500
souls are added to the kingdom of God. But PAFCOE training is not only about
winning souls. In the process of working for God, the lives of the students
themselves are often transformed. They not only learn the principles of soul
winning but they also learn the principles of a close relationship with God. </span></span></span></div>

students and 20 iShare students were trained during PAFCOE batch 6. More than
550 souls were baptized or rebaptized during the course of the training with
hundreds more to follow in the future. More than 2,000 people were directly
approached by our students, and more than 2,500 people attended the nightly
meetings of our students during OJT. Thousands of souls were given a chance to
hear the message of salvation. Thousands of doors were knocked on and more than
100 books were sold. Hundreds of Bible
studies were also given. This session was joined by nine
foreigners from countries such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, England,
Cambodia, USA, and New Zealand. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">One student from Japan said, "I was raised
in a SDA family and got baptized when I was 12 years old. But I wandered away
from God. I always wanted to overcome sin, but I could not. I tried many
worldly things. But God did not give up on me. He is leading me step by step.
He brought me here to PAFCOE, and through this training, I have learned so many
things. In fact, what I learned was not really what I wanted to learn, but it
was what I needed to learn. The first day I arrived here in the Philippines, I
got cold; then the next week my money was stolen. Then I had an extremely
difficult time extending my Visa, and many others. [He was
given difficulty at the office of immigration because another person with his same name
was on the country’s blacklist as a criminal.]
But I can see that all things indeed work together for good to those who
love God. I praise God for his special plan for my life. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Through the
PAFCOE training, I started to understand the present truth — the truth I must
share with the world. I learned that these truths are made effective by the
power of living and experiencing them. My daily life is made up of small
choices such as what I say, what I watch, what I read, or what I listen to.
Before I came to PAFCOE, I would go to the movies, waste hours of time playing
sports, and spend God’s money for foolish and worthless things. I was a slave
of sin and I was one of Satan’s most powerful agencies. I went to church, but I
did not have any peace. There was no big difference between me and
nonbelievers. I was a fake Christian and I was an expert at making excuses for
doing the wrong. I always felt guilty and empty. </span></span></span></div>

I no longer want to hurt Jesus. Jesus once told a woman who had
committed adultery, “Go and sin no more.” I want to overcome sin by the power
of God. I now understand and feel God’s amazing love for me. What a blessing it
is to be involved in the work of spreading the gospel! What a thought that God
could have commanded angels to do the gospel work, but instead he chose
us. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">During
PAFCOE, my experience with the Lord changed so much that I decided to get
rebaptized. I know I am not worthy to work for God. I am the chief of sinners,
but my hope is in Christ. Jesus showed me how wonderful it is to obey God and
he showed me how to obey his commandments.

what Jesus did for me, now it is my turn to show my love for him by working
for God with all my heart. I want to share the gospel with everyone who will
listen to me, especially in my home country of Japan where the work of sharing
the gospel is indeed challenging. I want to be a self-supporting missionary.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">One of our students from Cambodia said this: "When I was a new Adventist, I was afraid to read Revelation because </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">many church members told me that the book of Revelation
is the scariest book in the Bible. I was seeking to know what the message in
the book of Revelation is, but I just could not understand it. I always
thought, “Why is the book of Daniel and Revelation too deep for me to
understand?” I read the book over and over and I felt upset with myself because
I couldn’t understand it. I wondered what the problem with me was or what I
needed to change so I could understand Daniel and Revelation. I asked myself,
“Who can help me understand Daniel and Revelation?” I kept on praying to God
for understanding. I prayed, “Lord, please help me! If it is your will
please send an angel to explain to me these books! Because I read and read and
read but I just can’t understand.” I waited for an angel to appear, but nothing
happened. Then I thought, “Maybe my heart is so sinful that God will not hear
my prayer. Or maybe I am not really surrendered to God.” </span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Here at PAFCOE, God really used my
teacher to explain Daniel and Revelation to me. Every time we had a Daniel and
Revelation class, I felt that God was speaking directly to me and that he
really wanted me to change. As I studied Revelation, my eyes were opened to see
the message Jesus wanted to communicate in the book of Revelation. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I really praise God
because Jesus has overcome death and he has the key to open the grave. Before I
was a Christian, I was constantly struggling with the fear of death. I
wanted the religion of Buddha to help me, but it gave me no hope. I asked
myself, “Who can help me find freedom from death? Who can give me hope for the
future?” I knew that of myself alone I could not live forever. I knew that at
some point I must die. “Oh who can help me?” I asked myself. Many times I cried because I didn’t know who
could help me. I didn’t have any hope for the future. But when I came to know
Jesus personally and started to read the book of Revelation, especially the
first chapter, my heart and my eyes were opened. [Hope sprang up in my heart.]
Now I know and I see that there is a living God. Jesus overcame death! He lives!
He has the keys of death. When Jesus returns, our bodies will be changed
to new bodies because we have received Christ’s righteousness. There is hope in
Christ for me at his second coming! I
pray always, “Lord, help me to be faithful to you and to walk with you more
closely moment by moment. I pray that Jesus can work in my life. I want to
fulfill your will. I want your will to be done in my life, in Jesus' name, Amen."</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Another student said, "I have made many changes in my lifestyle </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">habits during the PAFCOE training. Before joining PAFCOE, I just
spent my whole day, aside from household duties, watching movies, eating, and
sleeping. That was my everyday routine after finishing my college and taking my
board exam. I even watched movies in the cinemas.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> But I praise God
because he brought me to PAFCOE. I’ve changed a lot because God led me to the
truth and he wants me to obey him. I do not regret anything.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> I learned that being active inside the church does
not guarantee that we have a relationship with Jesus. I must spend quality time
in earnest, constant prayer, and study of the word of God, meditating on it day
and night and sharing it with others. Like the Laodicean Church, I need to make
an effort on my part to come to Jesus in order to receive the gift – salvation.
Although salvation is free, I need to put forth effort to obtain it, just like
Revelation 3:18 says. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">I also experienced some great disappointments in my
life. Some of my plans failed. For example, I failed my board examination.
Supposedly after taking the board exam and passing it, I will work in a
hospital and pursue my profession [as a pharmacist]. </span>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
But God’s plan is far
better than my plans because He has brought me here to be trained in PAFCOE. I
realized that maybe if I had passed the board exam, I would not have had the
opportunity to be trained here at PAFCOE. Praise God because even though in my
own perspective it was a great failure, in God’s perspective it was a great
victory. I know that my God is in control of my life. I know that he is still with me, working out
his eternal purpose in my life. Through all the events of the earth, both good
and bad, God will reveal His wisdom to the universe. He will work out his own
will.</span></span></div>

This post, I will be sharing more inspiring experiences from
our PAFCOE students in their outreach!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God really worked marvelously for one student, who reported:
“After giving a Bible study on our outreach, we went to a place for me to
receive money. At first, I was worried because I had left my official ID at my
room and all I had with me was my PAFCOE student ID and my ID from the prophecy
seminar we were doing each night at the University of the Philippines. Of
course, neither of them are acceptable for receiving money. But God impressed
me to try to use them anyways and see what He would do for me. So I showed my
two IDs to the lady and she was very surprised! Why? Because she had received a
flyer for the seminar and she recognized my seminar ID was the same as the
flyer. And she had wanted to attend the seminar, but didn’t know where to go.
We told her the seminar was still going on and told her how to get there. And I
was so happy to invite her and encourage her to attend. But I was even happier
when I received the money that someone had said even though my IDs weren’t the
right kind. I really thank the Lord for His leadings!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God’s protecting angels were over several students as they
were traveling to their outreach. One said, “We were really protected and even
saved from possible death on our last outreach day! Our jeepney crashed into
another jeepney in an accident at a large, busy intersection. Our driver had
ignored the red light and when through it even though he was supposed to stop.
When the light turned green on the other side, about 10 cars were headed
towards us and it was real chaos! Fortunately there were no big cars or buses
and most were able to swerve away from us and avoid a collision, but one
jeepney couldn’t and we collided with him. I could smell the fuel and yelled to
my partner to jump out! But praise God, no one was injured! We thank God for
His protection over us!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of our foreign students said, “This week, I had my first
time to do a Bible study because my student could understand English and I had
the opportunity! I was so happy! Even though there was very heavy rain on our
way back after outreach and lots of traffic, but I was full of joy in my heart!
Praise God!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

studies with my interests, they were so busy repairing their house from a
recent flood. So I thought I wouldn’t have a Bible study that day. But God is
so good! He brought us to the house of one of our church members whose parents
were not Adventist and we started Bible studies with them! The time flew by so
quickly that soon more than 2 hours had passed by! I was so inspired to see their
eagerness in learning from the Bible!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bible studies are found in unexpected ways, too! One student
said, “I was assisting the late comers in our church Sabbath morning to find a
place to sit as an usher. I met a man in his 60s and to my surprise, I learned
he was not an Adventist! He had the same local dialect as mine and we really
connected. I introduced him to my other friends and then invited him to join
our Bible study that afternoon, and he agreed!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another student commented on her experience by saying, “After
our class, instead of riding a tricycle to go home, I decided to just walk. As I
walked along, I was impressed to buy load for my cell phone, but I reasoned
that I still had a good amount and didn’t need any. But I decided to stop
anyways and the man asked me if I was a Seventh-Day Adventist. I told him, ‘Yes,
and only baptized last year.’ He was really amazed that I was already doing
outreach. He had noticed my Bible and my uniform with Amazing Facts on it. As
we talked, I learned that he was born into an Adventist home, but had been away
from the church for many years already. He advised me never to leave the church
as he had done. I tried to encourage him to return. God had a divine
appointment for me that day!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And another said, “As we were walking to our outreach place,
I felt a bit sad and discouraged. But then I remembered one of the Bible verses
our teacher had required us to memorize – Psalms 126:5, 6. “They that sow in
tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” That
verse gave me hope! Just the next person that we met, we offered a Bible study
to and he gladly accepted! Praise God!”</div>

Those are just some of the many things you will be learning
during the 3 month training program! After the 3 months of class instruction
and in-the-field outreach, you will be sent on a one-month OJT (On the Job
Training) for public evangelism – for adults or for children.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The experiences you will gain during that one month evangelism
program are truly priceless! The stories our students bring back with them are truly
evidence that God uses anyone in His great work of soul-winning! One student
said, “I am so grateful to PAFCOE for all I have learned! During my OJT, all
the things I had been taught came back to me just at the right time I needed
them and I knew exactly what to do in each situation! Praise God for using me!”<br />

Maybe you are reading this from another country other than
the Philippines. Is God calling you to join, but you aren’t sure how you could
come to a foreign country to take the training? In every single session, we
have foreign students coming from all over the world and God blesses them just
as much as the local students! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also this session is a very privilege session because Pastor
Doug Batchelor is coming to Manila and will be one of the teachers during the
training! You can meet him in person if you wish!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God is calling you today to work for Him? Will you answer
His call? Will you say, “Yes, Lord, I will go”?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may find more information about the PAFCOE program by
going to our <a href="http://afcoemanila.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. We look forward to hearing from you and maybe even seeing
you as a student in the next session! Hurry now and register before it’s too
late!</div>

Here is the Hargreaves holiday greetings letter! <br />
<br />
Christmas in the Philippines! This time of year, the
familiar songs of Christmas are everywhere—the malls, the stores, the radio—but
somehow <i>“I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas,”</i> and <i>“Jingle Bells,”</i>
seem out of place in the tropics. The snowmen here are all made out of
Styrofoam, and the only snow we’ve seen is a man-made winter scene outside an
up-scale subdivision, where the snow is made from cotton! The little kids
love it, and imagine that winter is warm and cozy—like cotton. Now, a
week before Christmas, the only seasonal change is the clogged shopping malls,
and traffic-jammed streets of Manila. It’s a balmy 90 degrees—ah,
Christmas in the tropics! <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking back over 2014, we wonder for a moment what happened
to the year. Yes, the clock still ticks at the same speed that it always
has, but somehow 2014 seemed to be set on “fast-forward!” We rushed past
a few milestones in the past twelve months though—Teresa turned 25 this year…
and her parents turned… Well, we still don’t qualify for senior-citizen status
yet, but with all the “perks” the Philippines offer to those 55 and above… it’s
looking more inviting all the time!</div>

Running PAFCOE (Philippine Amazing Facts Center of
Evangelism) has kept us all running, sometimes literally, but the biggest
milestone of the year was our 5<sup>th</sup> session graduation with Pastor Ted
Wilson as graduation speaker. Eighty-four students marched down the
aisles of Manila Center Seventh-day Adventist Church, holding their Bible over
their heart to show their commitment to God’s word. Part of the AUP
Ambassadors Choir together with a local choir, sang the Hallelujah Chorus for
the processional. The music itself was unforgettable!<br />

Pastor Wilson shared how faithful laymen in other countries
were witnessing for Christ, some in the face of great difficulties, and then
challenged the PAFCOE graduates to “dream big” concerning what they might do
for God. It was truly a memorable “moment” to look back upon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Personally, we were deeply impressed with Pastor Wilson and
his wife Nancy. Their humble leadership and genuine Christian witness are
a testimony that probably has greater influence then their position. We
were also thrilled to see virtually every department of the church, from the GC
and division levels, down to local churches, pastors, and laypeople, all
working together in a combined effort to evangelize a major metropolitan
area—Manila. <br />

HOPE Manila 2014, was a big event here in Metro Manila, and
PAFCOE students and staff were fully involved. Of the 120 some
evangelistic sites around the metropolitan area, PAFCOE students and staff
conducted 55 of them, bringing their interests together with many others for
the mass-baptisms conducted during Pastor Wilson’s evangelistic series.
The final weekend of the event brought together nearly 10,000 Adventists from
all the surrounding areas for a climactic evangelistic celebration. </div>

June and July found us back in the States, “moving boxes” as
we vacated our storage unit for a small storage shed among the pines on the
property of Lowell’s father in southern Alabama. Lowell spent two weeks
in the Uchee Pines Wellness Center, recovering for a third relapse of
pneumonia. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In early August we were back in the sprawling megalopolis of
Manila, and Lowell’s pneumonia symptoms returned. He was impressed with a
simple remedy, and amazingly after just three treatments, all symptoms
disappeared, and he has remained healthy for the entire 6<sup>th</sup> session
of PAFCOE. Praise the Lord!</div>

Now “batch 6” (as the sessions are called here) is finished
and 54 more students in one of three different training programs, marched down
the aisles on December 10 for their graduation. The stories they brought
back with them were truly inspiring. <br />

One <i>i</i>Share student went out after twelve Sundays of
training in personal evangelism to do his OJT—a 26-topic, in-home Bible study
series with no budget. His group Bible study quickly grew to over 50
attendees, and when he finished, 35 were baptized! He testified, “I never
imagined that I could be an evangelist, but God has used even me.”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Late last year, Typhoon Yolanda hit the Philippines as the
strongest storm ever to make landfall and wreaked destruction and chaos
everywhere it went. Thousands were killed and many more were left homeless with
nowhere to go from the huge storm surges that were up to 19 feet high in some
places. What devastation and death it caused! To this day, more than one year
later, residents of those coastal areas are still struggling to regain a
semblance of a “normal” life as starting all over again is very challenging.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though we know God was not pleased with all the destruction
Typhoon Yolanda caused, we know that He does have a way of bringing good out
what seems to be extreme disaster. Here is one of those stories! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Very tragically
during Typhoon Yolanda, Marilou lost both her parents, making her very
depressed and discouraged. One day, two Amazing Facts Bible workers assigned in her area near the University of the Philippines
campus knocked on her door. When she opened it to them, they politely asked her
to go through a simple survey, to which she agreed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During their conversation there at the door, Marilou shared
to the two Bible workers about how her parents had died in Typhoon Yolanda and
tears trickled down her cheeks as she spoke. Then she told them that she had
always tried visiting different churches to find the truth. The two Bible
workers invited Marilou to do Bible studies with them to find answers to her
many questions and she eagerly agreed! They told her that she could find hope
amidst the terrible tragedy she had experienced in her life and she was so
excited!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the two Bible workers began weekly studies with her, they
realized she had many questions indeed! Marilou’s questions always revolved
around her doubts and God’s love and care and even His existence. She just
could not seem to understand why a good God would allow such terrible things to
happen to her. But God was working in her heart and Marilou began to sense His
great love for her and that bad things that had come to her were not a result
of God.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Week by week, Marilou continued to study with the two Bible
workers and began finding satisfaction and comfort from God’s Word. When the
topic of God’s Sabbath was presented, Marilou began to be convicted to follow
what she had learned. Clinging to the Bible promises, she found herself being
drawn closer and closer to the Lord. Soon she stopped attending her local
Sunday church and started keeping the Sabbath each week in her home with prayer
and Bible study. More and more topics were presented and her convictions
deepened that what she was hearing was truth and she must follow it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the Bible workers had been studying with her for quite
awhile, the health expo was scheduled to start and Marilou was given an
invitation to attend and learn more about health. She was very hesitant to come
at first, but the Bible workers waited for her to come that first day and she
did! Then Marilou was invited to attend the opening night of the prophecy
seminar and praise God, she came! After that first night, she continued to
attend each night, soaking up the truths she was hearing. And she was not the
only one being blessed – her children and their classmates also came to enjoy
the children’s program and loved to come with her!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During this time, the Bible workers continued to visit and
study with her – even if it was pouring rain and flooding outside! Never mind
being cold! They had a mission to help Christ reach Marilou for Him! Finally near
the end of the seminar, it was time to make a decision for Christ. Yes, she
wanted to be baptized but was still hesitating. One night, Dad and Michael were
preaching on the Unpardonable Sin topic. As they spoke from God’s Word, Marilou
didn’t want to hear it! She closed her mind to the speaker, saying to herself, “Who
are you to tell me that? You think that you’re right just because you’re a
Pastor? How dare you speak so confidently!” A terrible struggle ensued in her
mind as the sermon progressed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marilou wanted to follow Jesus all the way, but she was
afraid of what her husband would say and what her past church members would
think of it. Even after the sermon was finished, she was unsure of her
decision. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sabbath morning came and the Bible workers eagerly waited
for her to arrive, but didn’t see her anywhere. They were almost ready to give
up hoping she would come, but after praying for her, through the doors, she
walked! She had been really struggling to decide for Christ or not. Finally she
made up her mind that no matter what others thought of her, she would follow
Jesus all the way! That afternoon with wonderful peace resting in her heart,
she joined the others who were baptized in the swimming pool. Another soul won
to the Lord!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just a few days after Marilou was baptized, her husband came
home from his work abroad in another country. She was fearful what he would
think of her joining a new church. Much to her surprise, her children shared to
their father all the things they had been learning from the seminar! She had
been praying that her husband would be interested to have Bible studies just as
she had been and God answered her prayers! Just two weeks after she was
baptized, a PAFCOE student started his Bible study practicum (On the Job
Training) in a nearby area and she invited her husband to attend the small
group Bible study. Night after night, they attended and at the end, her husband
and eldest daughter were baptized! Marilou’s joy was overflowing! Now they live
in a Christian home with no movies, games or rock music. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But that isn’t the end! Marilou is so inspired with what God
has done for her that she is planning to join next session’s training program
to learn how she can work for others who might be depressed and discouraged
just as she previously was!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God has a way of turning tragedies into beautiful stories
and that was certainly the case with Marilou and her family! Imagine the great
joy you, too can have as you work for others and see them come to accept Christ
as their personal Savior!</div>

Our seminar in UP (University of the Philippines) was no exception. October 11, 2014 was the big day for everyone. Our team of Bible workers who had been doing Bible studies to prepare interests for the seminar were excited to see who would choose to follow Jesus all the way.<br />
<br />
We rented a pool since there was no church yet on the campus and we praise God for the 41 souls that sealed their commitment to Him through the watery grave of baptism! It started the sprinkle when we started the baptism, so that’s why everyone has their umbrellas. Here are the pictures:<br />

We praise God for what He did there on UP and for the new church to be planted there! Each of those baptized had their own unique story of how God worked in their lives. I will post one of their stories in the future once I write it up.<br />
<br />
One student said, “We were so happy that 3 of the children that we had been working with decided to be baptized! It was a little difficult to explain to their parents about it, but God helped us and because of that, we were able to get permission from their parents for their baptism. I am so blessed!”<br />
<br />
“My inspiring experience was when I was able to welcome the newly baptized people and see the lady that we had been doing Bible studies with among them! I feel that God is such a loving God to perform this miracle that reached this soul through us and the seminar. I believe all heaven rejoiced!”<br />
<br />
Please pray for the newly established church there in UP. God has great plans for it!<br />

Let your heart be broken for a world in need.<br />
Feed the mouths that hunger, soothe the wounds the bleed,<br />
Give the cup of water and the load of bread<br />
Be the hands of Jesus, serving in His stead.<br />
<br />
Our PAFCOE students have been finding out that they are God’s hands and feet serving others with His great message of love and truth. Let me share some of their amazing experience with you!<br />
<br />
The first student said, “There was this old man who was living alone whose wife had died earlier this year. Only his two grand-children who live nearby take care of him and visit him. When we arrived at his place, we discovered that he had had an accident and bruised his feet. We offered to treat his wounds with charcoal to make them heal faster and he agreed. When we returned to his home in a few days to do the treatment, we found that he was waiting for us. So we cleaned his wounds and did the treatment on him. As we applied the charcoal, we taught his on-looking grandchild how to do it so they could continue doing it for him. They were so happy and grateful for what we were doing! The old man said, ‘I cannot repay you anything for what you did for me, but praise God for treating me as if I was your own father and showing such kindness to me.’ Those words were so touching to hear! I was so inspired to be the hands of Jesus to serve those in need! Those these little acts of kindness and love, we will lead them to Jesus. When we were done with the treatment, one of his family members asked us to treat her too because she had been suffering the effects of a mild stroke. We did a health survey on her and promised to return to treat her the next time.”<br />
<br />
Another student said, “My heart was broken and touched as I saw so many smelly homeless people sleeping on the street as we pass to and from our home. We wanted to help them, so many times we didn’t eat the fruits that were served so we could take something to those poor people. One day, on our way to our territory, I noticed an old man hurrying towards the jeepney we were going on. He was carrying a kilo of rice, but hadn’t noticed that there was a little hole in his bag and the rice was pouring out onto the street. I told him about the hole and helped him gather up the spilled rice. He had lost almost half of his rice! But then the jeepney started to move and the old man forgot about his spilled rice on the street and jumped on. I could see disappointment written all over his face. I couldn’t sleep very well that night. The picture of all those homeless children and that old man was printed on my mind and a question started to formulate in my mind – where can I see God’s love through that? Then it occurred to me that these needy men and women are still God’s children who need someone to share with them a message a hope and love. I pray that they will see God’s love through my actions and that I can do my best to give them hope through Christ.”<br />
<br />
Another said, “My partner and I gave Bible studies to 3 different families and I was so blessed! But all of them didn’t have a Bible and they had a hard time understanding everything because they don’t understand English too well. So we prayed to the Lord to provide us a way to get a Tagalog Bible for them all to be able to understand. God really inspired someone to sponsor the money to buy them Bibles. And when we went back to our interest and gave them the Bibles, they were so touched and happy! Now they could read the answers of the questions in the Bible studies we were giving them! And we invited them to attend our evening meetings at UP, and praise God, one came!”<br />
<br />
And yet another student said, “After our Bible study, our interest confessed to me that the first time she met us, she felt so comfortable with us and couldn’t resist our invitation to have a Bible study. She asked, ‘Why do I feel this way?’ With tears in our eyes, my partners and I said, ‘It’s the work of the Holy Spirit in you.’ She then told us that many people wanted to have studies with her before but she had always refused and made excuses. But when she saw us, she couldn’t refuse and felt drawn to what we had to share. We were so inspired and prayed for her before we left.”<br />
<br />
One said, “I really prayed this week that God would give us divine appointments for Him. When it was almost time to go home one day, someone called out to us and told us about a man who was paralyzed. We went to see him and talked with he and his wife. He had been praying that God would heal him and we told them about the NEW START program and how to be healthy by following God’s principles. I was so glad to see their eagerness to try it and see what God would do for them!”<br />
<br />
Another said, “Earlier I had written about a young family we had met in the garbage dump who were looking for things to sell to have enough to eat. We had helped them by giving them food and some clothes. This week, my partner and I were walking down the street when we ran into the young man that we had met at the garbage dump. He informed us that his pregnant wife had just given birth. He had built a makeshift house for them against a building near the garbage dump. We visited his “house” and his wife. Just as we were talking together, it started to rain heavily. It was 5 in the afternoon and the mother told us that her baby was wearing his last diaper. She had just given birth the previous day to a beautiful baby boy. So we went to the pharmacy and bought them diapers, baby powder, baby oil and alcohol to clean with. We were so touched for their situation. And that young couple wants to start Bible studies with us next week! I realized that we are just stewards of what we have. We don’t own anything. If we think we have it hard or have so many problems, consider the homeless family with a small son and newborn baby sleeping in a tiny shed of boxes and wood near the garbage dump – no water, no electricity, no bathroom and cramped together in their little place about 1 meter (3 feet) square. Someone’s situation is worse than yours and you can be a blessing to them through what God has given you!”<br />
<br />
Blessed to be a blessing, privileged to care<br />
Challenged by the need apparent everywhere.<br />
Where mankind is wanting, fill the vacant place<br />
Be the means through which the Lord reveals His grace.<br />

Usually we think of this passage to be referring to the waters of trouble, affliction or problems we experience. But it also can be applied literally as two sisters, Carol and Jeamly found out during their time of being students at PAFCOE.<br />
<br />
Here is their inspiring story as recorded by Carol, the younger sister:<br />
<br />
“This week, we had a very wonderful experience doing outreach! Thursday afternoon, my sister Jeamly and I were doing visitation to the homes of our Bible students. We are so happy doing our work! After we stayed there awhile, we got ready to go home when suddenly the heavy rain started pouring out of the sky. We got SO wet! But we made it home safely. My sister, Jeamly and I decided to go canvassing the next day, Friday since it was our free day from the PAFCOE classes. We prepared our things for that and went to sleep. The rain was still falling.”<br />
<br />
What they didn’t know was that a typhoon was hitting the Philippines right during that time – Typhoon Mario. Back to the story:<br />
<br />
“Friday morning came and the rain was still very hard. But we decided to still go out for canvassing anyways and collect our customer’s payments they had promised earlier. We took a jeepney and left around 10:00 and it was still raining and the streets were getting flooded with the tremendous amount of water. All our customers were in Pasay – an area in the southern part of Manila. We rode the train and finally reached there. All morning we canvassed and collected our customer’s payments for their books. But the rain continued and got harder than ever. Finally after 12:00, we decided we should go home. We again rode the train to a place about half-ways from where we were to our home.”<br />
<br />
She continued on, “When we went down to the street from the train station, we saw it was still raining! Worry began creeping into our hearts because we realized there were no more vehicles on the roads – no jeepneys, no cars and not any buses even. We became more and more worried because everywhere around us was full of water. How were we going to get home? We began asking the people around us how we could get to our place, but they told us there were no more jeepneys passing that road because it was very, very flooded. But our hearts sank when we learned that there would be no more public transportation passing through that street for the rest of the day because this was a big typhoon. So what were we going to do? We couldn’t stay there the rest of the day! And we were still far from our home.”<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These are not the students. Just a picture to illustrate. But the water was probably this deep.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Picture yourself in the sisters’ situation and ask yourself what you would do! Returning to the story:<br />
<br />
“We decided that the only way we were going to get home would be to walk. So we began walking. The water was up to our knees and we kept walking. The water rose higher and higher and we began to cry. Then we remembered about God and paused for a moment to pray and ask for His help. Then we kept walking and the water was up to our hips already. We cried more because we are so wet and so are all our bags and all the things inside the bags were wet too. As we walked through the water, we knew it was so dirty because we could see garbage and lots of other disgusting things floating in it. All along the water as we walked, we asked those by the side of the road if the road near our house was near there, but they always said, ‘Oh, that’s SO far from here.’ So we kept going. We passed by the reporters of the news stations who were out to take pictures of the flood and report how bad it was. By now it was already after 5 pm.”<br />
<br />
Imagine walking more than 4 hours through flooded streets to reach home! She continued the story by saying, “We kept praying all along to God, but the rain didn’t stop. Finally we saw a man who was also walking in the road and we asked him where he was going. He was going to a place near our home, so we went with him – still walking through the water. But at least we had a guide. We were so cold because not only the rain was still falling, but it was so windy, too! Later on, we saw a 10-wheeler and the man told us to ride inside it. Praise God! He sent a vehicle to save us! Inside were all the rescuers and those who had been rescued. We arrived at the church where we have our classes at 5:30 and when some of our classmates saw us, they were shocked at our appearances! But tears of joy filled our eyes, because God had saved us through that terrible flood! We really praise God for the safety that we had that day! We changed our clothes and joined the other classmates going to UP (University of the Philippines) for our seminar that night.”<br />
<br />
That was a hard weekend for our seminar because of the typhoon but we praise God that not only did He keep Carol and Jeamly safe, but He also helped us to be able to continue our meetings. We did not miss even one night because of the typhoon.<br />
<br />
God’s promises really are true! When we pass through the waters – literal or symbolic – He is with us and will not allow the waters to go over us!<br />
<br />
More amazing stories coming soon!<br />

<br />
Every time we have a prophecy seminar, there is a program for the children. Here in the Philippines, children are everywhere and since they have the highest probability rating of accepting Christ, we do something for them too. Our PAFCOE students choose whether they will be an evangelist for adults or for children and those who choose to be child evangelists, have the blessed privilege of working for the little ones!<br />

<br />
<br />
During the children’s program, we teach the children all the doctrines of the SDA church on a child’s level. Yes, children can understand all our doctrines! The following are some of the experiences of our students as they worked for the children.<br />
<br />
One student who had chosen to do adult evangelism visited the program one night and this is what she said, “I had to opportunity to sit with the children in the evening. While I watched them and made friends with them, I could really see that many of them are struggling just to survive. I was about to eat my supper when one of them asked me for my food and I was so touched that when I gave it to her, she didn’t eat it herself. She gave it to her younger brother. I began to notice that many of them were covered with scars and realized that they were in a battle of survival. And many were not afraid to keep fighting. I really wanted to gather them all into my arms at that time and tell them they are not alone and that God really loves them. I was so touched with that one child that even though she is hungry, she thinks of others who might be more hungry than herself.”<br />
<br />
Yes, some of the children (or many of them actually) had very hard lives and some were living on the street. But God loves those children too!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Another student said, “We entered our territory for distributing the children’s flyers and discovered it was an area with absolutely no children! What were we going to do? Just then a friend from Manila Center Church walked past and he ended up directing us to a nearby slum area where there was an elementary school and plenty of children. It’s so amazing how God answers our prayers before we even ask! I really learned the lesson of child-like trust this week. Working with the children is always a challenge but as they climb into your lap and show their love to you without limit, it is a reminder of how we should trust God. These children had only been with us for a few minutes but they already trusted us.”<br />
<br />
She said later on, “This week, I learned to be a child with the children. One night we had a rough night with them, but as the Sabbath came, I purposed in my heart to smile to them whatever happened. That evening, I just spent time enjoying the kids – laughing with them and playing with them. And I could really see the difference it made in their attitudes toward me when I came down to their level. There was a little girl that always came to our group and was always smiling. When we came to pick her up with the other children Sabbath morning, she was reluctant to go because she had household responsibilities. But as we were about to leave, she ran to me and grabbed my arm and wanted to go along. That evening she was singing away, ‘Remember the Sabbath day…’ God is so good to move upon that little girl’s heart!”<br />
<br />
Another child evangelist said, “I realized this week that the children attending our program really need a lot of attention and most of all – love. There was this one boy who was always faithful in attending our program and he even comes early, but he has no father anymore and he works all night collecting plastic bottles and anything to sell. I was so touched that a boy with such a hard life wants to learn more about God!”<br />
<br />

<br />
One of the foreigners who chose to child evangelism said this, “I did not bring any children with me to the program and the teacher (that was me – the blog writer) asked me, ‘Why?’ I did not know why! When I went to bed, I was thinking of the reasons why I had not brought any children with me to our program. I realized that I wasn’t focused on soul-winning and I prayed to God to help me! The next day, my partner and I brought more than 20 kids to the program! I realized that God is always ready to help me, but I have to do my part too. Then when we invited the children, the problem was how to get to the program. There were no jeepneys around. So I prayed, ‘Lord, I have 20 kids but there are no jeepneys. Please send an empty jeepney to where we are.’ Just then an empty jeepney stopped in front of us and I asked the driver to bring us to UP (University of the Philippines) and he agreed! I am so grateful!”<br />
<br />
Later on he said, “Rain is a big problem for us. One night just as the children’s program finished, there was very heavy rain. We had brought more than 20 kids that night and none had an umbrella – including us! I had the responsibility to keep them safe and dry and return them to their parents. So I prayed, ‘O Lord, please look upon these dear children. If they get wet, maybe their parents will not allow them to come back to the program anymore. So please, stop the rain so we can go home!’ After my prayer, the rain stopped and we could bring every one of them back to their place!”<br />
<br />
Another student who was also a foreigner said, “I went to invite the children to come to our program, but I was nervous because I don’t speak Tagalog [the native language spoken here]. I prayed and told God to please, help me! When I went to the homes, the parents agreed for me to bring their children and I was so excited that God had answered my prayers! I realized that God is in control of everything and if we just trust Him, He will surprise us with the things that we didn’t even imagine!”<br />
<br />
And yet another said, “During our outreach time, we visited the parents of the children that we were bringing every night to the program. We got to know them and listened to their different stories of the trials and difficulties each had. In spite of their bad situations, they still managed to smile and move on! And their children are really eager to attend the children’s program every night. They had 8 children and each one loves to come with us!”<br />
<br />
Another student who was an adult evangelist said, “When we helped the child evangelists to bring their children to the program every night, I realized that the children were becoming close to my heart! Now I love children whereas before I did not. I understand that if I will just treat them kindly, the children will respond and be good to me. Now I really appreciate the work of bringing children to Jesus!”<br />
<br />
Another student who is a foreigner said, “Watching the children of our interest cry because they couldn’t come with us to the meeting touched my heart. They really treat us as if we are their parents. When we arrive at that place, the whole community stops and watches the children embrace us with hugs and respect. They take my hand and put it to their forehead as a sign of true respect. This melts my heart! I could never get this kind of love and respect back in my own country! The people in this community want to know, ‘who are these people that always come dressed in blue and black?’ They now call us ‘Amazing!’<br />
<br />
Working for the children, seeking to lead them to Jesus is one of the best works that can ever be done! We were so blessed to have the privilege of teaching them the truths of God’s Word and watch them be changed through its power!<br />
