We recently gathered in Manila, Philippines, for a meaningful time of teaching, fellowship, and prayer at Mt. Moriah Church. Pastors Christian \u00c5kerhielm, Ville M\u00e4nnist\u00f6, Ruben Hansen, and Thomas Hansen ministered together, and around 200 pastors and leaders from 20 churches across the islands came to be part of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What stood out most was the hunger. People were not just attending a conference; they were seeking direction. One pastor had driven 16 hours to be there. Afterwards he said, \u201cIt was worth it! To be able to come and receive the spirit of faith and missions is what I need!\u201d That kind of dedication tells you something about what God is doing in the Philippines right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

We\u2019ve seen again that there is a strong calling on the Philippines when it comes to missions. This is not only about what happens inside the country. We believe that in the coming seasons, more missionaries will rise from the Philippines and be sent to other nations. There is a readiness to go, to serve, and to carry the gospel beyond their own borders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of that, we are now praying and planning for the next step. The hunger for solid teaching and biblical foundation is clear. We would love to see a Bible school started here as early as the spring \u2014 a place to equip men and women for ministry and missions, and to strengthen local churches across the nation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please continue to pray for the Philippines. Pray for the pastors who carry responsibility in their regions, often with limited resources. Pray for clarity as we take the next steps together. And pray that what began in these days in Manila will continue \u2014 not as a moment, but as a movement of people with a heart to reach others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The need is real. The response is growing. Let\u2019s keep standing with the Philippines. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
