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

“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.

I will make you into a great nati

THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS WITH GOD (Part 1) Our God is sovereign. That means there’s no such thing as luck. Anything that happens to you, good or bad, must pass through His fingers first. There are no accidents with God. The story of an IT missionary, Brother Shane Ornedo, who was called by God to be a part of the great commission was no accident either. In 2015, he became a part of International Teams Philippines, a mission-sending organization. Then, he went to Malaysia to j

THE LORD DIRECTS THE STEPS OF THE GODLY (Part 1) From our vantage points, life can seem overwhelming and even out of control.

IT PAYS TO WAIT UPON THE LORD (Part 1) One of the most challenging things to do is to wait; especially, when you do not know for how long or when there is an alternative. These are the uncomfortable shoes that believers sometimes find themselves in when they need to wait upon the Lord for an admission, job, marriage, children, healing, or a provision of any sort. However, it pays a lot to wait upon the Lord. Normally, science would predict that there is walking before runnin
