PHILLIPPINES MISSION – 2010

After arriving in Cebu we had a much needed overnight rest & leaving Janey with Ester (another evangelist from Norway), Diana and I flew to Negros. I had been to the southern part of this island before but not to this area. Bacalod is on the north eastern coast. After landing we traveled for about an hour into the rural area and after staying overnight in a very basic hotel we finally commenced my much awaited ministry in that area.

For several years I had heard about the large army camp near here and had gone to great lengths to make arrangements to preach there. However, upon arriving at the base I was rather despondent, being confronted with only twelve men to preach to when I was expecting more than a thousand. Nevertheless, praise the Lord, ten of them responded to the Gospel, including our driver! I was determined to see more souls saved though – somewhere. It was this point of desperation that I remembered the words of my pastor before leaving for this mission, in which he gave a prophetic word saying that I would have a big disappointment, but not to worry for God has something else. I said to the pastors with me “I’m an evangelist – use me! There must be something else I can do.” “What about an open-air nearby – can we hire a local plaza, get a church to come with a band” Hastily arrangements were made and we had a local crusade for one evening and Praise God for twenty five young people coming to the Lord that night.

In the meanwhile, however, the local pastor said he could get me in the school nearby. I said that was a great idea and that afternoon we entered the local elementary school with over 600 pupils.

My colleague Diana did a puppet presentation and I followed it with preaching the Gospel, which over 400 children responded to the message. I did a mass prayer for all those that were sick and many raised their hands and testified that God had touched them.

After visiting a children church in Bacolod City, comprising of street kids, we held junior church for the morning, at which six were saved and several touched by the Holy Spirit. Back in Cebu and meeting up with the rest of the team, we both preached in churches on the Sunday morning, visited a local hospital in the afternoon and Monday morning visited two prisons. My colleague, evangelist Esther Anderson, preaching at the womens prison and me at the youth offenders, where more than 15 gave their hearts to the Lord.

On the Tuesday we were suddenly summoned by our host pastor to visit a school up in the mountains – a place I had been to on my last visit and saw good fruit. Unfortunately, we had to preach class room by classroom, in one afternoon. At this point I was very glad to have another evangelist working with me. We shared 11 classrooms between us and about 350 children responded to the message. What a wonderful farewell to Cebu as we sailed away the following day to the island of Bohol.

After relaxing the rest of the day we visited another prison the following morning. I had been in this prison two years ago and was amazed at the transformation! Previously a dirty courtyard and all over run down impression, was replaced by flower beds, cleanliness and an atmosphere of hope. The prisoners put on a special show for us and afterwards we had the opportunity to preach the Gospel whereupon 88 prisoners gave their hearts to the Lord and many testified of being healed. On the Friday of the following week I returned to this prison. We were happy to give out 88 bibles to the new converts and took other provisions for the whole prison, which they readily received. I

did a mass healing prayer and over 18 prisoners came forward to testify that God had healed them where they stood. What a wonderful God we serve.( Don’t miss part two to following,including the story of two intrepid evangelists have to walk the plank for Jesus !

PHILIPPINES HERE WE COME! 

Praise the Lord it’s mission time again and I am about to leave with a team to the Philippines, in the Visayas region!

Watch this space for news of salvations, miracles & revivals, because our God is AWESOME and works through His children through the Name of His Son Jesus Christ and He gets ALL the glory!

I believe this is the decade of HARVEST of souls, so church get ready and Go and preach the gospel ‘

God bless RK Day

When asking my soon to be, travel companion, Maria, what her home- land (Shetland) was like, she described the people as warm, friendly and hospitable.   “Oh I exclaimed – you mean its like Philippines in the cold.   I shall feel very much at home then.”

  Within a month Maria and I and her family were making the arduous two day journey which included fifteen hours driving and fourteen hours on a north sea ferry.   We arrived at Lerwick, Shetlands capital praising God for a smooth crossing.

What a wonderful place.   I would describe the countryside as being like Dartmoor, by the sea;  stunning scenery, gorgeous un-crowded beaches  (although despite being August. I wasn’t tempted into the water as I would have been in the Philippines, due to the temperature).   Yes, I did find the people open, warm hearted and hospitable and so gossiping the gospel was not  difficult.

My public ministry consisted of two meetings with Lerwick AOG and one at Girlsta Methodist Church, and some help with the local ‘Healing Rooms’ Team at one of the shows.   Praise the Lord, a few souls were saved and back sliders restored.   Several healings took place including one guy who had suffered with a back injury and was about to start a weeks probation work on a building site.   This man testified that God had completely healed him and was offered the job.   There was also a wonderful move of the Holy Spirit and many were touched by his power including one guy who, having been slain by the Spirit, and was out for about fifteen minutes. His wife was laughing so I said “Why are you laughing?”   She said “My husband is a boxer and has never been knocked out before tonight!”   Praise the Lord!

Plans are already being made for my return visit next year and I want to give a big thank you to Shetland for their wonderful hospitality and welcome they gave me, especially Magnus and Eunice  for kindly putting me up, Emmanuel AOG Church, for their invitation to preach and support , those that kindly contributed to make this mission possible and not forgetting Maria who kindly introduced me to the people of her homeland SHETLAND !

God bless

The Healing Meeting has now moved to Elim Christian Centre, Dews Road, Salisbury and will be held 6.30pm every first Sunday of the month , all welcome- admission free. Lively praise and worship, testimonies and powerful preaching and prayer for the sick. Come and see what Jesus Christ can do for you?

R K Day Ministries held an outreach amongst the nurses from the local hospital and 21 Adults and 10 children (mostly Filippino’s), came forward to give their lives to Jesus Christ, Praise the Lord, this is only the start folks. It’s time to get out amongst the people and preach the glorious gospel of Christ in this country and expect results ! Jesus is the only answer to this sin sick world and only He can bring peace and forgiveness to the troubled soul.

The harvest of souls was equally fruitful in the two local prisons we visited , where many responded to the gospel, and prisoners were set free in the spirit by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, ‘Who cleanses us from all sin’.   In one of these prisons I met a lady who reminded me that I prayed for her two years ago in the same prison.   She testified that that day when she had been slain in the Spirit, she got up totally healed from a spinal condition affecting two lower vertebrae, and has not needed any treatment in the last two years.   When God does it, praise His name, He does it well!

Furthermore I had to preach at the local police station whereupon several policemen and women responded to the message and gave their hearts to the Lord, praise God.

In Pastor Ruben’s church in Villiasis a woman came to me and told me I had prayed for her two years ago.   The doctors had recently told her that they had found a myoma in her womb, verified by the local hospital.   However, after prayer, she believed she was healed, and with a friend, went back to the doctors and had another scan which confirmed that the myoma had disappeared.   She has experienced no further problems, praise the Lord.

As well as amazing salvations and healings, God also moved mightily by his Spirit upon the churches.   The Holy Spirit led me to challenge the people to a closer walk with Him.   Of those that responded, he replied with his Holy Fire as scores of people were renewed and revived.  

The Mission came to an end at Angelas City,   we held two days of miracle services hosted by ‘Freedom Christian Center’with Pastor Joshua and his wife, sister Judy.   I love visiting this church and this was my third time.   Each time God has graciously poured out His Spirit and this visit was no exception.   On the Sunday over 450 people had gathered at Clark Air Base Officers Mess where 28 people gave their hearts to the Lord and a number of testimonies of healings took place of which I received confirmed testimonies later by e mail .  On the second night the Holy Spirit fell mightily on the people that came forward for renewal.

It’s harvest time folks – not just for the Phillippines – but I believe its end-time harvest time for the world!   It’s time to preach the Gospel more, if we are to get the harvest in – as Jesus said in Matthew’s Gospel “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few.   Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest”   Math 9, v37,38 NKJV

With only a tiny budget for crusades, which we held in the  back streets of small ‘Buranguys’( villages ) nine in all .  With   little in the way of equipment,  no stage and having to beg and borrow a lectern for every meeting on which to hold the Bible and notes - yet the people came and responded to the call of the Gospel!

Our mission started on the island of Mindora, which is situated SE of the mainland, with a two hour catamaran crossing from the port of Bantangas.   The sea was very rough and dangerous but the Lord was with us.   We held four nightly crusades and two prison meetings.    As well as many salvations there were also some notable healings.   On the first crusade a man on crutches with an injured leg was instantly healed after prayer and able to walk home, carrying his crutches, rejoicing.   Second night, there were also a number of healings including a man with a neck frozen with his chin permanately touching his chest.   After prayer the neck was released and he could bend his head right back.   In the third village I was told later by the local pastor that the most violent man in  Burangay, had been saved and if that was a true conversion, his testimony would impact the whole area.   The following night he came with his wife and asked me to pray for him.   There were many more testimonies for Mindora – details will be attached in next update.

Nepal Mission Part two

After travelling for five hrs back up to Kathmandu, up being the operative word – as it took 5hrs of dangerous, precarious, hairpin bends and sheer drops along a white water river;   arriving by evening into the Kathmandu smog.   We fell into our beds only to be kept awake by yapping dogs which seems to be a major problem in Kathmandu as there are many thousands of them.   The name ,‘Dogmandu’ comes readily to our minds!  

The following day we began a two-day miracle conference in which God moved in a mighty way despite the fact that we had to travel through badly air polluted traffic and the church in which we ministered was affected hugely by diesel fumes.      However, God moved in his mighty power in healing and Holy Spirit outpouring.   There were over 20 healings for which people testified including backs and neck pains, knee joints, and a woman with a heart condition who testified that God had healed her, the next day.   A twelve year old boy had been hit by a car in the morning  and was in great pain, was healed after the general prayer and demonstrated the fact by raising his arm without any pain at all.   The same boy was mightily touched by the Holy Spirit later.  

Someone who was still in pain from a knee operation, after prayer testified that he had been healed and was able to walk without pain.   A young man in his 20s, nearly blind, who could only see things right in front of his face, testified he could see things much better and by the second day, could count my fingers from across the church – Praise the Lord   Many people were hit by the fire of God and at one point three quarters of the church were slain in the Spirit, on the floor, some laughing, some crying before the Lord and some speaking in tongues for the first time.   I don’t think this Baptist church had seen anything like this before but the pastors there were thrilled to see God moving and many were asking for the fire as well.

Nearly blind sees

After the final meeting some people came forward to be saved without there being an altar call after seeing the power of God moving by his Holy Spirit, which is of course, the greatest miracle of all.   One woman, at the end of the service, after this out pouring, appeared to be unconscious.   One of my team became extremely concerned, fearing a diabetic coma or suchlike.   I questioned the people with her and she had never suffered with anything like this before.   Attempting to get a response from her, all she could say was “I just feel this joy!”   I said she’s fine, leave her there, it’s just the Holy Spirit.   The next day she testified of what had happened to her, and that she had been out for a further one and a half hours in the presence of the Lord.

The women’s conference was also most fruitful where many ladies (mostly from a Baptist background) received the power of the Holy Spirit for the first time.   In the afternoon session they were shown how to witness about Jesus and pray for the sick and they were encouraged to demonstrate what they learnt on one another with many testifying of being healed.

The slum area that we visited was situated by a filthy river with rubbish of all kinds floating on the top.   Their homes comprised nothing more than sticks and plastic, and earthen floor.   Their meeting house had recently benefitted from a tin roof which was most needful after the recent storm in which a hailstone had fallen through the then plastic roof, causing a child to be rendered unconscious.   A number of children and adults had congregated for the meeting but with the PA constantly breaking down I had to revert to my natural voice, which was difficult.    However, even in these grim surroundings, the beauty of Jesus could be seen, with many testifying of being healed by his power and a number coming forward for Christ.   Furthermore, one of the ladies I prayed for, was shaking.   This I assumed to be the presence of the Lord upon her but someone asked me to pray for

her again, as while she was in this state, she could feel something coming up in her body, getting stuck in her throat, so I prayed again and God delivered her – praise His name, later I had e mail confirmation of complete deliverance and healing, for which she is praising God!

With the help of Janie and Anna and R K Day ministry sponsors I am thankful to be able to say that we were able to buy 90 new jumpers for the children who belonged to the school.

The final crusade was held at Baktapur, just a small open air at the back of the church.   Again a number of healings were testified and 15 people came to the Lord and several were delivered from demons, for which we praise God.

Well thats all folks for now as 6th January I’m on my travels again, only this time back to my much loved Philippines, can’t wait to see what God has in store for us there?

God bless RK Day

Kawasoti Crusade

After a short stopover in Kathmandu  my team (Janey & Anna) and I made the long
journey south to the Chitwun area.Kawasoti ,a city situated near the Indian
border is where we held a crusade earlier in the year on my last visit.   We were hoping for larger numbers to come
and, although, there were only 2-3thousand the first night, about 5,000
attended the second night, resulting in approximately 200

decisions for Christ.

There  were also a large number of healings amongst the
crowd.   When I commanded demons,
sickness and disease to go in His name, many reached out in faith to Him and
came forward to testify.  This included many
backaches, headaches, joint pains.   Many
with hearing difficulties and eyesight problems were healed including one woman
who was completely deaf in the right ear and nearly deaf in the left ear, who
was able to hear perfectly again.    She
had suffered this condition for fifteen years.
Another was a man who had been involved in an accident and  fractured his leg.   Even
after surgery, he  was still in great
pain for years but testified that the pain had left him and he could walk
normally.   Another old woman was able to
walk normally again and threw away her walking stick and testified the next day
that she was still healed.   Furthermore
a young man who was dumb and unable to speak at all was now able to talk for
the first time, although imperfectly as he now needed to learn to talk.

   Furthermore quite a few  people were delivered from demonic voices.   Several came to the platform to testify to
being delivered.   One woman who had
suffered for a long time, testified that all the voices had gone bar one, which,
after prayer, the Lord dealt with  the final
one too which also left,   praise His
name.

I and the team together with Pastor Samuel and Pastor Puran (my
excellent interpreter),  spent another
two days in the Chitwan region.   The
next day we held a pastor’s conference in a local Baptist church in which the
fire of God descended on the delegates, so much so they were texting others to
come and join them in the afternoon.
Praise the Lord.  

The final day
in this area we spent in travelling around local village churches, off road in
the jungle area.   We felt like real
missionaries now but we did do it the easy way and used a 4 x 4 to get there,
crossing river beds and dodgy bridges, to reach the people.   The first little church reminded me of the
nativity scene as it looked a bit like a stable with a straw roof, where we met
some of the new converts from the crusade and I was able to give them advice in
their new Christian life.  

We visited another two churches that day and I preached
three times and by the third service I was getting tired.  It was late in the afternoon and the sun was
beginning to set, and yet when we arrived we found the little church bursting
at the seams with eagerly awaiting people.
I forgot my tiredness and the Holy Spirit took over and the power of God
touched those people in healing and revival fire and 27 people got saved,
Praise the Lord.

Mission to Nepal

Arriving in Kathmandu after what can only be described as an ‘ hair raising ,uncomfortable, long winded, budget airline flight’, Ros ( my volunteer companion), and I had one night in which to rest, before setting off for the plain the next morning.

Kathmandu is described as a ‘valley’, from which it takes nearly fours hours continuous descent by a vehicle, to reach the Indian plains, following a fast moving river, with a number of adventurous folk having fun water rafting.

My first preaching engagement was held at a local Baptist church, in a poor rural area about half an hours drive away, from our hotel at Bharatupur, Chitwan. The road there was nothing more than a dirt track through villages of poor houses, which only supplied it’s occupants the bare necessity of accommodation, sights I have grown accustomed to in my ministry as an evangelist, which takes me to many poor areas of the world, but nevertheless still moves me in compassion for these dear folk who have so little, when we have so much in comparison!

Having arrived at the church and being assured that only believers would being attending the service, I decided on concentrating my message on the revival and healing power of the Holy Spirit, through the Name of Jesus Christ! After the message I invited the sick in the congregation to place their hands on the place of their sickness or on their heads, as I commanded sickness, pain, disease, evil spirits to leave in the Christ’s name! The Lord also gave me a ‘word of knowledge’ (one of the gifts of the Spirit spoken of by Paul in 1Cor. 12), that someone was being healed of a mouth condition . I then asked those who God had touched to come forward and testify, about a dozen came forward, including a Hindu lady, who wasn’t a Christian, testified that she had suffered with constant bleeding in her mouth, but when I gave the word of knowledge, it stopped instantly! Later that day she came to the crusade and gave her heart to Jesus and testified of her healing, praise the Lord !

The crusade that afternoon was held nearby at Kowasiti, where an estimated number of two to three thousand gathered to hear the gospel. Many more would have come had it not been election time and problems with road blocks, However, those that attended heard the good news of Jesus (most of them for the very first time), I gave the altar call and about twenty to thirty people responded. Then I prayed for the sick, where they were in the crowd (the same way I did in the church that morning). People started getting healed all over the place, we couldn’t fit in all the testimonies, over forty people were waiting to testify. Then I and my interpreter (Pastor Samuel), did another altar call, after seeing the miracles, many more responded to the call of salvation, over two hundred in total came to the Lord that afternoon. The pastors on the platform were amazed at what God had done, most of them had never seen miracles before. I was the first western evangelist they had preach in their area and they want me to return and by God’s grace and provision I intend to do just that, hopefully this autumn if I can raise the funds?
