ABBA Conference, Curitiba, Brazil - September, 2016
What an honor it was for Pastor Joe to share the message of God's unconditional love and grace at Comunhão Cristã Abba for their Second Annual ABBA Conference in the beautiful city of Curitiba - Panara in South Brazil. It was an amazing success and truly a life transforming experience that exceeded all expectations. The conference began on Friday night and all day Saturday, culminating with two power-packed services on Sunday. Thousands of people joined the Sunday services, of which I shared a message on "Spirit, Soul and Body" in the morning, and "The Savior Who Seeks the Imperfect" in the evening. The theme for the conference was "IDEM" which in Latin means "the same, or me too". Each of the speakers focused on our identity In Christ. The praise and worship was absolutely crazy with hundreds of young people dancing singing and just plain going over the top with extravagant adoration for Jesus. The sights and sounds were a visual and spiritual experience with scenes on the large screens, depicting creation all the way through the resurrection of our Savior. All in all. It was a life changing experience that touched the lives and hearts of all that were there!
Outreach Malaysia - June, 2016
What a powerful two weeks of ministry in the beautiful nation of Malaysia. Pastor Joe and Natalie were honored to be invited by Pastor Peter and Seefen Sze of the New Covenant Church (tNCC) in Kuala Lumpur to share the good news of God's goodness and grace.
In a nation that is 90% Muslim, tNCC is proclaiming the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ, and is the largest “grace” church in the country. Over the course of the visit, Pastor Joe shared his journey with the tNCC leadership, preached at the midweek service, shared at a youth gathering, a businessman’s weekly fellowship at TA Global, and finished with the privilege of being the keynote speaker at the Family Camp in Malacca.
Over 600 registrants gathered for the very special annual event, with the theme this year of “Grace Immersion”. Pastor Joe shared five sessions on “Spirit, Soul & Body” and “The Miracle Rod of Grace”. Lives were changed, people were healed, and new friendships were forged in this God ordained missionary effort.
Mission Possible Philippines December, 2015
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
Thank you for partnering with Pastor Joe as he traveled to the Metro Manila area in early December, 2015. His mission was to share the good news and the Gospel of Grace with this precious nation, which is currently over 85% Roman Catholic. All we can say is "mission accomplished".
Over the course of 10 days, he joined Rev. Ronn Constable of Faith Fellowship Ministries World Outreach Center to minister in local churches. Pastor Jun Yu of Jesus Faith Center Fellowship in Las Pinas City also arranged for Pastor Joe and Brother Ronn to serve on a Grace Panel to invite open discussion on the many faceted topics of faith and grace.
Signs and wonders followed the Word as people were healed in their bodies, and set free in their minds from religion, legalism as well as the destructive doctrine of "Universalism".
After preaching 10 times in 11 days, the trip was topped off with scuba diving (a first for Pastor Joe) with fellow pastors in the beautiful Anilao. Pastor Joe sincerely appreciates your giving and feels privileged that you have entrusted him with the honor of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through Mission Possible Philippines.
Thank you for sowing into this assignment that he's been given to share the Gospel of Grace all over the world. The photos below were taken at the Faith Center in Calooncan City (12/6/15), and Life Giver Church in Pasig City (12/8/15), Tagaytay City (12/10/15) and the Faith Center Main Campus in Las Pinas City (12/10/15).
