Love, Harassment, Mistaken Identity, & Tears...

By Jess and Wendy Jennings

Eleven teams of Filipino young people returned from 21 days of mission and they rejoiced that God had done great things in their midst. One team reported being harassed and followed by a demoniac until the demon was rebuked in the name of Jesus. Nine young people, ages 17 years old and up were baptized as a result of the ministry of another team. One person from an unreached people group said that now they realized they were really loved. Several teams gave testimony of people crying when they left while thanking them for coming to share about Christ. One team leader shared with tears how they had been kicked out of a village. She said, "We must go back and try again." Another team was suspected of being communist rebels and were not allowed to stay.
