This is my final report with all my thoughts
and updates.
What does it take to make a man of God?
No man is ever fully accepted until he has,
first of all, been utterly rejected. ------------- Author Unknown
Yes rejection is a powerful forge used by
God to test and try a man. I have been rejected by the secular business
world as well as the Christian Church. But what does that mean? Am
I a failure? Perhaps in the worldly view of some, but what about God?
No, I have fallen into the everlasting arms
of my God and He has been my source and strength and He is leading me to the
nations to spread His fame and wonder to those who know Him not.
“Do not we rest in our day too much on the arm of flesh? Cannot the same wonders be done now as of old? Do not the eyes of the Lord still run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those who put their trust in Him? Oh, that God would give me more practical faith in Him? Where is now the Lord God of Elijah? He is waiting for Elijah to call on Him.”

Wow does God ever move on faith. He is
all my glory and all my wonder. We did two Crusades two nights in a row
on the top floor of the hotel. It has a big room with a stage and seating
for maybe 600 people.
The first night the busses started arriving
at 5:00 PM and they were loaded! Thirty or more people just on the
roof alone and maybe 60 or more inside. Many of these people had driven
for maybe two hours to get here. Our worship was powerful, some in
Bisayan and some in English. But the Spirit of the Living God was here. I
preached on the story of Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood and
blind Bartimaeus. To reach out when Jesus comes by in FAITH. We
called for those who wanted Christ and around
The second night the crowd swelled to over
700 from 500 the night before. There was standing room only. Many
had heard of the healings and brought sick friends. The worship was even
more powerful and heavenly than the first night and I heard angles singing
adding to the beauty and glory of what was happening and what was going to
happen. I taught two messages this night. First I taught a simple
evangelistic message and called for those who wanted the sweet Jesus and over
150 responded. Hallelujah. I told them that if they had come to see miracles
that they had just witnessed the biggest one of all. A soul coming to
Jesus is the very greatest miracle.
Then I taught a simple message on healing
and looked at
We opened the altars for prayer for the sick
and about another 125 came. We started at the right and healing after
healing occurred, many with instant results. One man received his sense
of smell and taste back. A woman with a blind right eye was healed
and could see out of that eye. A woman had a goiter vanish, tumors went
away, ulcers gone, I was in heaven. Then came a woman with a little boy
who looked like he was
The first night the Lord told me this as I
was sitting waiting for my time to minister. "A woman who wants to
have a baby and can't, I will heal her'
I stood up and announced that, but got no
takers and so I said, maybe this is for someone to come tomorrow night.
As you know, two things could have happened, 1. No one would come or 20 would
come and the Holy Spirit had just said one. Well the one came and she
said "A friend told me about you." She wanted prayer, but I
said, "It's already done just go your way and you will have your
child.!" Her smile told me that she believed and off she went to
have her baby.
Out of the 125 or so that came that night,
only 2 didn't receive their miracle. Oh the Love of Jesus.
This morning we ministered in a small native
village we had to drive an hour and a half and wade a river to get to and the
Holy dropped in their too. Many touched and filled with His goodness.

What a mighty God we serve. I just want
to tell everybody who reads this report that God is so very loving and so very
much bigger than all our problems.
We had two nights of Glory in Mapadan the
last two nights. Pastor Blanco's sons and many others set up a sterling
crusade and we had over 1200 both nights with the last night maybe approaching
1700. God moved in power.
The worship was heavenly and attracted many
to come to the central part of Mapadan where there was a central plaza with a
large stage and large flat area in front. The stage has a large sight
with the message JESUS SAVES and
I believe the 20 or more pastors in Mapadan
who spent countless hours praying, fasting and organizing was a big key to the
success. They are the troops who made the battle successful.
The first night we had about 800 come
forward for Salvation and the second night we had another 250. Oh the
Glory of Jesus! That is the biggest miracle of this crusade those souls that
were bought by the suffering of Jesus. The pastors have a wonderful
strategy for bringing those new converts into the church to disciple them.
Then God showed up in miraculous healing
power as I proclaimed the desire of the Lord to heal just as sure as He will
save. The start of the healing miracles was a man I saw coming into the
area with three people helping him. He was a stroke victim. I saw
him and said to myself, there is our first miracle. I was walking in
heavenly places and saw what God saw. I prayed for this man first and as
I rose from prayer, I removed his cane from his hand and he proceeded to walk
up and down the steps behind me with little assistance. He then walked
unassisted back to his seat and I saw him raising his hands later, a feat he
couldn’t do before prayer. The faith level rose to a fever pitch as the
people saw this miracle and they came as little children to receive their
miracle. The first night over 250 came and nearly all received their
miracle. Again and again the power of God healed, tumors, ovarian cysts,
asthma, bleeding, allergies, blurred vision, migraine headaches, etc,
etc. The first night a vendor in one of the food booths outside our area
heard the call for healing prayer and both she and her daughter came and were
healed. One pastor brought 28 people who needed healing and every one went home
with their healing. Oh the powerful love of Jesus!!
The pastors were greatly challenged by the
crusade. I didn't even know how God was using me, but the first night I
prayed for each person individually for about 2 hours to pray for each
one. I hugged, kissed and loved each one, which just felt natural to me
as the Father poured out His love through me. The pastors saw this and it
challenged them to their core so they determined to do the same the second
night and God answered.
The second night as many as 300 come for
healing and many healed as well. The second night the pastor's prayed
with me for healing and God also moved on their behalf. It was a repeat
of the first night as God moved in power. I have never before witnessed
the power of God in such wonder as person after person was released from a
sickness and pain. A man with diabetes came and after prayer announced
that He had been healed, a woman with multiple problems, in faith, told me that
I had been sent to Mapadan for her healing and God agreed as she was made
completely whole. Oh the love of our God! Joshua my partner in this
mission trip was watching the healing and as I was praying for a little woman
and asked God “Why are you healing this woman, don’t you have too much other
stuff to do? Aren’t you busy managing world affairs?” But God spoke
back and said “Because I am God and because I am good!” And at that
instant the woman I was praying for was healed. Joshua filled with such
joy he laughed for 10 minutes unable to take a picture. (He was my
“official” photographer)
This crusade has been described my the
pastors of Mapadan as "historic". The town was greatly moved by
what happened there. One pastor was crying out to God during my preaching
and God dropped on him and baptized him in the Spirit. I think many more
were hit by the Holy Spirit as well.
In response those pastors poured out such a
love and respect back to us that it was incredible. We truly serve a
might God who saves and heals.

warm people who love the Lord and are ones He is selecting to work with Him.

Off to Boracay!
We flew to Kalibo and took a 1 1/2 hour van
ride to Catilcan where we got on a boat for a 15 minute ride to Boracay.
We went to the Church on the Rock and stayed in the home of Rolando and Theresa
Atienza the pastors. They are great people and we love them and were
honored to stay in their home.
Boracay is a destination resort in the
We ministered during the day and at night we
also went to the beach and swam in the warm waters of the
Sunday I preached in the Church on the Rock
or as the Lord would remind us the Church under the Mango tree and the church
of always new beginnings. I talked on true success with the story of the
grain of wheat falling to the ground and dying and bearing much fruit as the
true story of success. Many were touched and I ministered after church to
those who needed prayer. We Christians do not need to listen to the
world’s ways as we are citizens of another realm and our God is bigger than
this world. Some needed healing which God delivered, some needed peace in
their hearts and some needed physical help. One needed a job, and jobs in

The last several days in Boracay we have
been ministering to the poorest of the poor who live in Nipa huts in the
central part of Boracay. Along the beach the rich tourists from dozens of

teams who go into these barangay and evangelize the people through their
children. Pastor Rolando and Theresa Atienza are wonderful people who are
dedicated servants of the Living God in their Church on the Rock which started
10 years ago under a Mango tree. They are looking to build a whole new
church, with three floors and a basketball court on top. They have to
first buy the land which will cost them $45,000.00 of which a $5000.00 payment
has been made and the first of two $20,000.00 will be made this April and the
second in November. The construction will cost about
$104,000.00. This is impossible money for these poor Philippine Pastors,
but not impossible for our God. Anyone wishing to contact Dan and Tori
Beaver to donate can contact them at this address. beaverbalita_seasia@yahoo.com
The Lord has a mission for the Philippine people. His
Spirit is brooding over the islands and a wind of the Spirit is blowing.
