I wonder how they get there. I hope it was formally coordinated with the National Office of the UPC Philippines. Otherwise, it's not really good just to trust anybody who comes by and just let those guys minister to my church. Even if someone from my church knows them.

Great point! Anyone can come from another country and claim all sorts of things, preach to your people, exercise influence over your leaders and be seen as a valid representative of the native church.

If we don't check out their pedigree, we could be burned!

That reminds me. I wonder if the Filipino brethren will check on the WPF credientials before they fellowship?

The Philippine leaders have begun plans to conduct a 100 city crusade. This will be conducted simultaneously all across the country. Each city that has been targeted in the nation will be invaded by teams from all over the world, and work together with the local saints. Litterally thousands from all over will be joining for this event.

This is a very exciting event and will be held sometime in 2010. You will be hearing more about this in the future.

The Philippines is the center of apostolic harvest in the end time.

Praise the Lord! And we will rejoice with the angels for souls born into the Kingdom.

We are generally known as being Kind!

As a kid I played soccer and was involved in tournaments and exchange programs in Canada. I remember standing at an elementary school in Vancouver and watching as the kids I was about to go and spend a weekend with stopped to throw rocks at the American flag that was set up next to the Canadian flag in a symbolic "brotherhood" fashion. When their parents came out they kids threw the last couple of rocks that they had and we all climbed into the station wagon together.

Among us kids, the "Frogs" were considered cool for some reason. Even that far out west there were pockets of French. One stay with a French family was memorable. Some of the nicest people I had ever been around. Yet when I visited Quebec for the first time it was... uncomfortable when my French proved to be deficient in a McDonalds. By then of course I had learned that you don't call them "Frogs."

Those kids who threw rocks at an American flag were reprimanded I hope?

Which school in Vancouver was it?

Nope. I was a kind of blonde brick elementary school with a gravel parking lot. I don't remember the school's name. This was about 1968 or 1969. I figured the kids were acting out in imitation of what they saw in the news. But it was disillusioning to think that these were my "mates" for a week.

You just described most of the Schools in Vancouver!
69-70 I and my buddies would chant:

"Hey, hey, get out of my way. We just got back from the USA!"

We never desecrated any flag, even our own!

A different era I guess!

I appreciate the posts of MissionsJD. I also was an MK in the Phillippines for about a decade and still pattern a lot of my personal ministry on things that I learned from local pastors while I was there. Some of the most spiritual and ETHICAL men I have ever met were national pastors. I personally have been involved in the Bible Schools and crusades in the Phillippines and I have gone through some of the curriculum that is taught at the Bible Schools and I know that ethics are taught. My father was president of two of the Bible Schools in years gone by and I know that he taught ethics because I know what he taught me at home.

I am excited about the revival going on in the PI and I am really excited to hear that they are moving forward with plans to start sending out their own missionaries. I remember when they first started making plans to do this over a decade ago. I am glad to hear that they are close to implementing those plans that were set in motion before the work was ever even nationalized.

Anyways, this is just my $.02
