He is Worthy of Worship in the Philippines!

I’m so thankful that the Lord reminded me this morning of His death and resurrection accomplished on my behalf. Happy Good Friday! It is sobering, humbling, and comforting to feel afresh the love of Christ displayed on the cross. I pray that you will feel and know that love today.

Thank you for your prayers regarding the preaching of the Gospel yesterday. The Lord moved powerfully. I preached on the seven last sentences of Christ on the cross. They are deserving of much meditation:

1. "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." Luke 23: 34 2. "This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:43
3. "Woman, behold thy son." John 19: 26-27
4. "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46
5. "I thirst." John 19:28.
6. "It is finished." John 19:30
7. "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Luke 23:46

God granted repentance and brokenness to some of the listeners at the outreach yesterday. The seven churches involved were very blessed, encouraged, and built up. Your prayers were answered. Praise God! Here’s some pictures of the outreach…

This was a skit that the teens did of Christ’s crucifixion. It was very powerful.

In the evening there were thousands of people in the streets celebrating Maundy Thursday. The churches were filled with people late into the night. I had the opportunity to share the Gospel with a mother and her daughter while standing beside the cross you see in the picture below. They were very eager to hear about how the death and resurrection of Christ has changed my life. I explained that a person is saved by faith alone apart from works (Ephesians 2:8-9) and that a person needs to be born again to see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3). God was opening their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. This was icing on the cake for me last night. What an amazing day! What an amazing God!

Thank you for your prayers.

Please pray:

1. For those who received the Gospel that the Word may go deep in their hearts and many would be born again

2. For strength for the team to continue to labor with eyes fixed on Jesus, having a spirit of prayer, humility, love, and faith.

3. For open doors to continue to strengthen churches through preaching before the Celebration next week.

4. For many souls to be reached through this outreach.

The Spirit is moving here and He is strengthening His Church through this work. May we see a great revival in the Philippines and to the nations. Love you all!

"Father, into Thine hands I commit My spirit!" Luke 23:46
