“GOD’S WORK, DONE IN GOD’S WAY WILL NEVER LACK IN SUPPLY” Pastor Joseph Ricohermoso is one of the IT missionaries in Japan. His journey of faith in Japan was a product of years of prayer and consideration. It was a process before he got the confirmation from the Lord that he was going to Japan. When he was in Bible school, he already knew in his heart that God had called him to go on missions, but it was still indefinite where he would go. Then years later, his former classma

“ASSIGNMENT FIRST THEN PROVISION FOLLOWS” (Part 3) IT missionary, Pastor Serge Amigo and his family experience God’s goodness in their lives as they continue to serve in Thailand. He and his family became busy with the work of the Lord because Pastor Serge is given the opportunity to preach regularly in Pakkret Church which is the local church they are serving. They also started a community development project in Keha Uaathon, Pakkret and they continue to serve in the orphana

“ASSIGNMENT FIRST THEN PROVISION FOLLOWS” (Part 2) Pastor Serge Amigo and his family had been staying in Thailand for 13 years and they have seen God’s amazing faithfulness in their lives. As they continued serving in the orphanage for boys, they were also attending a local church and they were the only Filipinos there. In Pakkret Full Gospel Church, they met Dorothy who is from Canada and she’s in charge of the foreign affairs ministry and a translator since she is fluent in

“ASSIGNMENT FIRST THEN PROVISION FOLLOWS” (Part 1) Pastor Serge Amigo and his wife had been serving in one of the mega-churches in the Philippines for a long time. However, he and his wife felt like it wasn’t enough. When they attended the Access Training in International Teams Philippines, a mission-sending organization, followed by a condensed world mission course, their life was never the same again. They knew in their hearts that they have to do something greater for the

“I BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN DO MORE IN MY LIFE AS LONG AS I OBEY HIM” (Part 2) Pastor Mary Ann Sabinay was in South Korea to attend a mission conference. Her first few days there were beyond words. She has seen how God guided and provided for her. As the conference ended, she was on her way to Seoul. However, she faced another dilemma which was once again an opportunity for her to see how amazing God is. As Pastor Mary Ann and the other missionaries left the conference venue by

“I BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN DO MORE IN MY LIFE AS LONG AS I OBEY HIM” (Part 1) God is at work within His creation. He has a plan for His creation and is working it out. It means that nothing that happens is apart from God’s ultimate purpose. We have to believe this truth and we won’t be dismayed when we obey what He has told us because He will always be with us to guide us and protect us. Pastor Mary Ann Sabinay is one of the IT missionaries and her experience when she was in Sou

“GOD OPENS DOORS NO ONE CAN SHUT” (Part 2) God knows how to turn things around. He can turn your sorrow into joy – just let Him in. Trust and believe that He can do more in your life. Whatever the situation you are in, be hopeful that God has a grander plan in your life, and that He has called you to fulfill the purpose He has for you. IT missionaries Pastor Macky and Sister Shirley Ramirez responded to God’s call, and they didn’t regret following Him as they served in Taiwan

“GOD OPENS DOORS NO ONE CAN SHUT” (Part 1) Brother Macky and Sister Shirley Ramirez were IT missionaries in Taiwan for almost thirteen years. Their journey of faith started when their Bible Study leader invited them to an IT Conference which is “Windows to the World”. Brother Macky met some missionaries and heard their testimonies. Back then he thought to himself “I would never become a missionary because it’s difficult and I won’t be earning anything because it won’t provid

“IF YOU HAVE FAITH THEN TAKE THE FIRST STEP” (Part 2) It takes faith to see the possibilities ahead of us. If you believe that God is with you then you don’t have to worry about what lies ahead because He can make a way even if there’s no way. He can light the darkest path and He can lead you to where you are supposed to go. But your faith is a requirement, so if you have faith then take the first step courageously. After Pastor Jeffthy Bacierto’s unforgettable trip to Brun

“IF YOU HAVE FAITH THEN TAKE THE FIRST STEP” (Part 1) Often, we want to have the whole plan in place before we are willing to take the first step. The problem is that we usually can’t see the entire path until we set out on the journey. You can’t see what’s around the corner until you get to the corner and take a peek. One of the IT missionaries, Pastor Jeffthy Bacierto had a change of heart when he was only 13 and he started serving God. As he comes of age, the Lord has a gr

“ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE” (Part 3) Some of us tend to assume things and never want to ask and tell what we really want. Then when the other person couldn’t meet our expectations, we start to resent them and question their motives – that they deliberately wanted to hurt us. We get disappointed so we tend to criticize every action they do. We know that God is omnipotent, and He knows everything so most of us think, “I don’t have to ask Him, He is God, He already knows”. Yes,

“ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE” (Part 2) As the story continues, the Lord opened doors of great possibilities not only to Pastor Digna Viernes but also to her children. A conference in South Korea would be held and it was her chance to go back, however, she wanted to go with her children and prayed “Lord, if you’re going to send me, please allow my children to be with me in the mission field”. God honored her request and made it happen. Her daughter, Abigail was working in Thaila

“ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE” (Part 1) God will always give us good things. Our job is to understand what is good so that we know what to ask for. The natural mind cannot understand this. But, when we offer ourselves as “a living sacrifice” and are transformed by the renewing of our minds, then we “will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will”. Then, asking for what we need in faith, we will have all we need for life, godliness, and fu

IT’S NOT ABOUT ME, IT’S ALL ABOUT GOD God calls those who are underprivileged. He calls them because He knows that they are more readily available to receive His grace and not trust in their own effort or ability. Therefore, don’t disqualify yourself when God calls you. Don’t think that God can’t use you for His glory. You are one of His greatest creations and He wants you to be a part of His work here on earth. One of the IT missionaries in Cambodia, Sister Rhoda Mendoza d

GOD SPECIALIZES IN THINGS THAT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE When we look at the world with all of its trials, troubles, tribulations, and heartaches; we sometimes ask: "Where is God? Why doesn't He do something?" Is it that God is not able? Is the situation too large or too difficult for God? God specializes in things that seem impossible. Now God may not solve your problem the way you want Him to, but there's no problem too hard for God to solve. Pastor Romeo Viray is one of the IT mis

“I WILL NOT GIVE TO GOD ANYTHING THAT COSTS ME NOTHING” Pastor Therese Nicole Aguinalde is an IT missionary and the president of Joshua Rising, the youth mobilization ministry of International Teams Philippines. When she joined the IT Family, she became active in participating in conferences and mission activities. But there was a conference she joined in April 2018 in Pattaya, Thailand that left a great impression on her heart. She had encounters with God but her experience

“MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD” God is great. You are free to believe whatever you want; we all have been given free will to choose the path that we take in life. Seek the truth and seek God, and you will find Him. With the free will we have, what would you choose to do then? Some seek to better their lives while others choose to follow the purpose God has for them. One thing is for sure when God calls you He will surely provide for you. Pastor Marieta “Mayet” Gardon, IT missi

“YOU HAVE MY FULL YES, LORD!” God does speak to us and we need to develop a listening ear and recognize His voice. We need to trust Him and take action on what we hear. But what do you do when God speaks to you? Do you find yourself dismissing it when it seems too unfathomable? Or do you obey Him even though it sounds impossible? Sister G, one of the IT missionaries in China had been equipped by the Lord before she was led to International Teams Philippines, a mission-sendi

“GOD WILL SEE US THROUGH” Sister Eufemia “Fem” Apolinar had heard of International Teams Philippines, a mission-sending organization through a friend. She and her friend Sister Tet were teaching at a Bible Training Center when an Access 1 Training in Bicol was held in 2006. During the training, they were challenged to pray for a place or a country to go to. Then God spoke to her friend, Sis Tet, that God will reveal it to them as they go to Hong Kong. Then to their surprise,

“ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD” (Part 2) As the story continues, IT Trainers and missionaries Pastor Tony and Sis Diosy Mendoza were comfortable staying in Australia, and they were happy serving in the church there. However, as they sought God for His will, He impressed in their hearts to go to China. They didn’t know anyone in China, and back then it was unknown, and too many of the images they had of it were that of a backward land. Therefore, the couple asked the Lord t
