Also, in case you weren’t able to attend the PAMI Potluck, take a look at the following video documentary. Video was filmed by Ptr. Randy Rivera and edited by Mike Thorud. The video shows mission highlights of God’s working from the past year of PAMI ministries.
Christmas and Crusade in the Philippines
God has been working through you as sponsors, and through our front-line PAMI workers to bring His love and message to people in the Philippines. Take a look at the video below highlighing PAMI’s recent participation in the distribution of Operation Christmas Child shoe-boxes and in the Will Graham Bicol Celebration of Hope .
Will Graham Bicol Celebration of Hope
The Will Graham Bicol Celebration of Hope was a four-day crusade held in Pili Freedom Stadium in Camarines Sur Province on April 28 – May 1. It was sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelical Association (BGEA). Will Graham is the grandson of Billy Graham, and the son of Franklin Graham.
The crusade included children’s events during the day and adult events at night. There were Filipino big-name contemporary Christian entertainers, a large choir, an extreme bike and skateboard team, and of course a message from Will Graham with an invitation to accept Christ and fill out response cards with counselors.
According to Will Graham’s Facebook site: Will Graham shared the Gospel to over 97,000 people from April 28 – May 1 and over 20,000 decisions were made for Christ!
Although the crusade was two Provinces away and about a 2 – 3 hour bus ride away from the location of our mission, over 300 people in and around our churches participated. PAMI had about 30 people or so serving as counselors, having gone through BGEA Life and Witness training classes in February. Furthermore, BGEA provided free transportation to those who participated in Operation Andrew, in which you invite friends and neighbors to come with you.
