Batch 22 trainees also known as “The Persuaders for Christ” for Basic 1 Missionary Training successfully kicked off last January 15, 2014. There are 9 Filipinos, 1 Indonesian and 2 Malaysians sealed by the Holy Spirit to reach the nations. From the start of the training, this batch has exhibited passion and united prayer and worship; doing their tasks with joy in their hearts as well. Their personal encounter with Jesus Christ compels them to respond with passion to the call for the labourers in the field.
“Faith without works is dead” thus Persuaders for Christ has applied this principle to surpass the challenges. These challenges enable them to seek God more and take actions with wisdom. For example, those who have much share their resources to those in need. They pray and work hand in hand to renew their spiritual and physical strength; admonishing one another to be strong in the Lord singing praises to God to overcome their weaknesses and homesickness. They are marked with the servant-leadership character of Christ for the nations by not only preaching the gospel boldly to the field entrusted to them but also living it through serving the people with gladness by the grace of God.
Persuaders for Christ is like the early church that is in the Upper Room being equipped for the task while waiting in prayer and fasting of the Lord’s fullness of time to conquer the nations for Christ.

We praise God for bringing the short term Mission Team from Guduk Church last 14-24 January 2014. The love of Jesus overflowed through them as they ministered using their Cultural presentation, dramas, skits, interpretative dance, and testimonies.They visited several places in Samal island such as Orphanage, a Muslim community, the National High School, and a Relocation site for fire victims. Also, four hours from the base to M’lang, Cotabato at the Southern Baptist College Campus with around 1,500 students and the faculty and staffs. The following day, they ministered to the Mayor, other officials and employees of Tulunan, Municipal government, proceeding afterwards to the B’laan tribal people at Bacong, North Cotabato. They brought a great impact to the lives of these people who were very thankful and blessed because they were very friendly and down to earth.

Few years ago, we started to pray and ask God for His leading in the vision that He gave to our president for more students to be trained requiring for us to upgrade existing facility and build on additional building at our base.  Now here it is answered prayer, the ongoing building construction of Mission Motivators School of Missions in Samal, Philippines. God is truly faithful to His promise that whatever you ask anything in His name He will do it. We are amazed on how He works in magnificent ways providing initial funds to start.

Last November 20, 2013 the construction team of Ptr. Boy from Catanduanes came down in Samal to build a two-storey building. On November 24, 2013 the initial materials was delivered with the coordination of Bro. Allan, husband of our General Secretary, Mdme. Nathalie. Hopefully we may be able to finish this project before New Year comes.

Lord willing we will have more rooms early next year because we lack of accommodation and place to stay specially this organization is taking another level in the ministry.  There are more prospective students and now God is upgrading physically and spiritually to give the best that we can give to train future harvesters of God. Please help us to pray and consider also sowing in financial aspect for the completion of the building. To God be the highest glory.
