Ministering to the Military

IMG_2924

It really would be true that the Military ministered to us just as much, if not more, than we ministered to them.  Under Col. Bahao’s leadership they hosted us for a couple nights and provided several meals and lodging. They also provided security and more relief manpower as we were traveling all around Mayorga to different districts doing relief work and ministering among the communities. An amazing blessing.

Col. Bahao came to know the Lord almost 30 years ago as a cadet through IGSL’s president Tom Roxas who you have seen pictures of.  We were able to be a part of a promotion ceremony for 4 of his men, and more so – we even participated in different ways!  Kuya Tom gave a brief message that was powerful on the issues of forgiveness and grace, but the most powerful part was another member of our team Gerri (below in blue) who gave his testimony.

I’ll have to dedicate another update to Gerri’s story because it’s amazing and so powerful, but the short of it is he was a Captain in the Philippine Army and he helped lead an attempted coup of the government about 10 years ago. He was sentenced to live in prison and served 5 years before the President pardoned him after he surrendered to the Lord and showed evidence of being a changed person. Now he’s part of the IGSL faculty helping lead our ministry to the military and government sectors of society! Incredible witness to the love and power of God – and extra powerful to these soldiers because they all know who he is because he is that well known.

One of the days, Col. Bahao took Gerri up to the most remote mountain peoples in the area and between Gerri and another commander they shared the gospel and their testimonies to almost 600 families in a remote and sometimes hostile area. Praise God.

I had the privilege of praying a blessing over the battalion and it was a joy to do because this group endured the typhoon and has been on the ground since day 1 serving the people in so many ways.  And they blessed us so much. But they are tired and are not often thanked.  It was a blessing to encourage them as they were also serving us.
