Embarking on a journey to South Korea was a life-changing experience, filled with opportunities to evangelize the country
with the Message-of-the-Hour, and experience the joy of fellowship and bonding with the congregation of Pastor Michael Nutter.
Majority of the members of Onyang Bible Christian Church are Filipinos, while others come from Africa, India, and from South Korea itself.
Pastor Mike has been coming to the Philippines since the year 2010 and we have developed a friendship that cannot be
broken, forging a mutual agreement to assist one another in the ministry and to join hand-in-hand in mission works in Korea.
Visiting Israel, the Holy Land, was a profoundly moving experience that deepened my spiritual journey.
Walking in the footsteps of biblical history, I had the opportunity to tour Jerusalem and other sacred sites, connecting with the
roots of my faith in a deeply personal way.
The tour of Jerusalem was the highlight of my visit, offering a glimpse into the heart of biblical history. From the Western Wall to the
Mount of Olives, each site resonated with profound spiritual significance. Walking through the streets of the Old City, visiting the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre, and standing at the Garden of Gethsemane, and coming inside the empty tomb of Jesus
were moments of deep reflection and prayer.
Beyond Jerusalem, other holy sites such as the Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, and Nazareth brought the stories of the Bible to life.
Being in the places where Jesus taught, healed, and performed miracles was a humbling and awe-inspiring experience that strengthened
my faith and connection to Scripture. I also preached at a Message Church at Tel Aviv formerly pastored by Solomon Jacob.
A new Message church in Tel Aviv is now being pastored by Brother Michael Fisher.
My visit to Germany was a journey of spiritual and historical significance, attending a Christian convention and exploring sites deeply
rooted in the Reformation. The Christian convention in Germany as hosted by Ptr Kohlenbrener provided an incredible opportunity to
engage with fellow believers, ministers,
and church leaders from around the world. The services were filled with inspiring sermons
from Pastor Ed Byskal, Pastor Ron Spencer, Pastor Tim Pruitt, Gerd Rodewald, Theo Ovid, Raymond Thompson, among others.
Moments of heartfelt worship along
with the singing of worship songs were very uplifting.
The unity and dedication of the attendees were truly uplifting,
creating an atmosphere of mutual encouragement and shared purpose.
A highlight of my trip was visiting the Martin Luther Monument in Wittenberg, a tribute to the Reformer who played a pivotal role
in shaping Christian history. Standing before this iconic site was a humbling experience, reminding me of the courage and
faith that defined the Reformation. Thanks to my precious Brother Jorg Michael Reuter for touring me around, and
for taking me to Pastor Andreas Mai's church and family in East Germany where I preached two times. I also visited the church
at Bieselsberg
where Pastor Gerd Rodewald is pastoring.
My visit to Poland in September 2019 was a deeply impactful experience, combining moments of Christian fellowship with
profound historical
reflection.
The opportunity to attend a Message convention in Poland was a blessing and has added depth
and meaning to my journey.
The Christian convention in Poland was a time of spiritual renewal and connection. It was organized by Pastor Jacek Walach.
The main speaker was the late Pastor Gideon Retief of South Africa, while I did preach also in one of the services.
Meeting fellow believers and ministers from Europe provided a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, worship, and encouragement.
The unity and
devotion displayed during the convention were truly inspiring, and I felt blessed to be part of such a
vibrant gathering of faith. I was also able to preach and fellowship at the church in Gliwice being pastored by Brother Robert Fiszer.
One of the most solemn and thought-provoking moments of my visit in Poland was touring the Nazi concentration camp.
Walking through the remnants of this historical site was a humbling experience, as it served as a stark reminder of the
atrocities of the
past and the resilience of the human spirit. My visit to Poland was a time for reflection, prayer, and a renewed
commitment to
peace, love, and understanding.
My visit to Malaysia was a spiritually enriching and culturally vibrant experience, centered around a Christian convention
and ministerial meeting in Kuala Lumpur and a Mystery Expo Seminar we held in Penang.
The ministerial convention in Malaysia was a time of profound fellowship and spiritual growth.
Meeting new pastors and believers provided an opportunity to discuss Bible doctrines, share insights, and strengthen
our shared faith.
The sessions were filled with deep discussions on the Book of Revelation and were
moments of encouragement
that enriched our
understanding of God’s Word. The convention in Kuala Lumpur was
hosted by Pastor Maniam Matthew
and pastor Dominic Tharuman. We proceeded to the island of
Penang to conduct a Mystery Expo Seminar
for denominational pastors after the KL convention.
In Kuala Lumpur, the iconic skyline featuring the Petronas Twin Towers was a sight to behold. Exploring the bustling streets,
vibrant markets, and stunning landmarks provided a glimpse into Malaysia’s dynamic spirit. The harmony of tradition and progress was
evident in every corner, making my visit both inspiring and memorable. A visit to the Batu Cave was also part of the itinerary.
My two-time visits to Zambia were organized by Pastor David Gonsalves and by Reverend Emmanuel Chali. It was nice
visiting churches and fellowshipping with ministers and believers in Zambia. Going around preaching and fellowshipping with
Zambian churches was a blessing for me.
My two-time visits to Zimbabwe was organized by Pastor David Gonsalves in the year 2014 and 2019. It was good
visiting churches and fellowshipping with ministers and believers in Zimbabwe. Speaking at a Youth Convention in
Bulawayo in December of 2019 along
with Pastor Cosmas Maduka of Nigeria was a great blessing.
The Convention was hosted by
Reverend Doctor Nqobile Ngwenya with his father-in-law Daysman Marisa.
I have also preached in the churches of the late Pastor Chesa, and at the church of Ptr Chitsindi, Bonniwell
Mayuni,
and Pastor Matanga in Harare.
It was great visiting Pastor Henry Goi and his congregation, and Pastor Peter Wan as well in Singapore in the year 2018.
It was great visiting and preaching for Pastor Raul and his congregation in Hongkong, and visiting Pastor Roel Soriano's
congregation in the year 2016.
It was great visiting and preaching for Pastor Marek Szturc in Chech Republic as well in the year 2019.
I truly enjoyed the felowship with the Message believers in Czech
and meeting evangelist Daniel Szturc as well.
A minister's convention in Rarotonga, Cook Islands was organized by Pastor Latu Kupa in 2014, and I was glad to
be invited as
one of the keynote speakers. I have enjoyed the beautiful people in this country and the scenic views
it offers. Ministers from the USA, New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji Island, also graced the occasion.
Doing mission work in Japan in the year 2012 with missionary John Sacher and wife Laura Sacher.
On June 23 to 29 year 2014, I delved into a mission trip to Papua New Guinea. After a series of preaching
and teaching on the End Time Message, fifty-three (53) souls got baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ from the tribal people
of Goroka, Papua New Guinea, which included two denominational pastors and a number of church workers, all coming out from
different denominations.Today, they are continuing to serve the Lord through the ministry of Ptr Kare Dick.
Doing mission work in the islands of Port Vila and Pentecost Island in Vanuatu in the year 2010 with Pastor
