December 28, 2009 Pastor Capilitan

Please take a moment to meet Pastor Winston Capilitan. He is poised to lead the Church of Jesus Christ in the Philippines. We have sevaral churches in fellowship, with more desiring to enter into the fellowship. The main church is in Iligan City. Others in; Initao, in jungle area outside of Initao, Cagayan De Oro, Bohol, Plauridel and other places. There is much hunger for the Word of God on the whole island of Mindanao. Sadly, most missionaries are scared to travel in Mindanao because of the terrorism of the Abu Sayaf and communists fighters. Much of the island is not evangelized by the gospel. Many people have only heard the gospel preached thrru the Catholic doctrines. Last September I was in several areas where it was reported that there never had been a "white" missionary!! How can America hear the gospel week after week and time after time, until all the people of Mindanao have heard it for the first time! There are areas of the Philippines where the name of Jesus Christ is not known in power. How can they know unless God raises up a preacher. Winston Capilitan is such a man.....
