The Pearl of the Orient Seas: Still Ready to SOAR in August 2010

Administrator — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 08:10:55 +0800

Despite the tremendous challenges brought upon them by the weather, the Philippines, known as the “The Pearl of the Orient Seas” is accelerating its pace as it continues with preparations for the 2010 International Singles Conference.

“…and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters… He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. What a blessing was that stillness as He brought them safely into harbor!” – Psalm 107:29

The Philippines is popularly known as “The Pearl of the Orient Seas.” It is home to the “Chocolate Hills” of Bohol, the powdery white-sand beaches of Boracay, the relaxing cold climate of Baguio, and the historic Spanish houses and cobblestone streets in Vigan. With its many tourist attractions in more than 7,100 islands, the Philippines is no doubt a pearl, a treasure of Southeast Asia.

In the last two months, “The Pearl’s” bouts with tropical storms and cyclones has been greatly chronicled in the international headlines. More than five hundred lives have been lost and millions of dollars worth of public infrastructure has been damaged by these storms and ensuing floods. Even at the time of this writing, another potential storm is being monitored by the local weather authority. It would appear that “The Pearl” has lost just a bit of her luster.

THE STORM IS PASSING OVER...

The Lord spared most cities in the from the destructive rampage of Typhoon Pepeng as it veers course at the last minute. God truly answers the prayers of the saints!

Here are the triumphs and needs of the disciples.

Amidst the chaos of the past few days, more and more disciples were tearfully reunited as they met in devotionals, in the dark, and literally wading or swimming through floodwaters! What has amazed me even more is the spirit of these disciples, who despite being subjected to the terrors of rampaging waters, loss of properties and livelihood; they still gave of themselves and are more concerned with the plight of others! No wonder Paul referred to them “my joy and crown”! Read more here

The number of disciples missing has increased to 10

According to Koko Enrile, The number of disciples missing from the typhoon Ondoy has increased to 10 and there's no way to contact them because there are still parts of the city that have no electricity and so the disciples may be unable to charge their cellphones.
"The teams working there led by Rolan and his wife Weng would have to swim to get the packages to the hands of the famished disciples!" Read more here

ASIA-PACIFIC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY LAUNCHED

Administrator — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:21:01 +0800

By Gordon Ferguson and Rolan Monje

The inaugural course of the APLA is taking place in March and April, with the Seminar session having been taught by Gordon Ferguson in Manila on March 6-9. Thus far, the Academy promises to be a resounding success! For the first course, we have a total paid enrollment of 36, with another 3 auditing the course. The students are from ministries in five countries: the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Guam (USA). The majority of those from the Philippines are from the various provinces where we have churches planted. The large majority of the students have at least a Bachelor’s Degree, and some are presently pursuing Master’s and Doctoral level degrees. One third of them are not currently in full-time ministry staff positions, but were anxious to spend the necessary time and money to be better equipped to best serve their people. The hearts and diligence of all the students are absolutely inspiring examples of totally committed disciples of Jesus, wanting to follow his path of true spiritual leadership in being their best for God. Having key leaders like Cesar Lopez, Koko Enrile and Ken Chau in the Seminar was so encouraging, and their excitement about learning and growing personally was an upward call to those who view them as heroes. Continuing education is a huge need for all leaders, a concept thankfully shared by the top leaders in the Asia-Pacific region.
