Launch Into Enemy Territory!

Launching Into Enemy Territory Tomorrow!

From: Mike Redick
SMCI, International Director

"On Wednesday, July 21, we are going to hold a series of Gospel meetings on the Island of Siquijor with the goal of establishing SMCI on the university campuses there. Siquijor is a small Island off the coast of Negros and it is notorious and known country wide for its witchcraft and demonism. The Island is so steeped in witchcraft that Catholic organizations are not allowed on the university and college campuses. This is amazing considering the Philippines is a Roman Catholic country.

However, after years of prayer, the Lord has opened for us a wonderful door of opportunity! The administrations on several campuses have given us permission to preach the Gospel to their students.

We will be taking a team of five people, who are both prayer warriors and preachers and for three days we will present the Gospel to this needy island. We have a team of workers who will go with us and will stay to establish a work on the Island after we leave (Alma & Perla Joy among them.) Please pray with us as we go forward on our knees and trust God to do an amazing and powerful work on this pagan Island."

Mike Redick

More About the island of Siquijor: For a time it was sub-province of Negros Oriental. Called Isla del Fuego or the “Island of Fire” by the Spanish before, Siquijor is considered by many Filipinos to be a mystical island, full of witches and other supernatural phenomena. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siquijor

How Did The SMCI Campaigns Begin?

A Message From Mike Redick, SMCI International Director:

Monday, July 19 begins the third week on our SMCI gospel campaign. We are on the Island of Negros where SMCI had it's start nearly 10 years ago. I remember receiving a phone call in 2002 from our SMCI worker, Joy Pinero asking me to come and hold some Gospel Meetings on the Negros State University Campus. At first, I was hesitant and actually declined the invitation. But the next day I heard a devotion from Acts 8 and the phrase "Arise and Go" struck me like an arrow fired from God's bow. In obedience I arose and went and I am glad I diid. We saw a wonderful harvest of souls. Most of our present full time staff were saved during those few weeks of meetings.

Today, almost 10 years later, SMCI has grown! With 70 on staff we are now on six Islands and hold daily bible studies on over 70 university and college campuses. Our work on the Island of Negros is by far our most mature. In the last few years we have placed bible studies on nearly every university and college campus in Negros oriental. We have planted three churches with many outreaches, pastored by our own converts.

Our campaign this year on Negros is by far our most aggressive. The Lord opened a wonderful door into the high schools this year. In fact, in the next two weeks we will preach the gospel to the student bodies of every high school in Negros Oriental. Looking at the list there are over 50 high schools that have agreed to our campaign. In addition there are a dozen new university and college campuses as well. This is a daunting task. Please pray for our team to have the strength to preach a clear gospel.

Picture This!

Words from the Frontlines:

We thank the Lord for many open doors and ready hearts to hear the gospel. Every morning this week a team of 26 people get up and board our three vehicles and we head out to the pre-arranged High Schools and Universities for a day of preaching the Gospel.
The schools usually allow us to preach to their student either by going room to room or by addressing the entire student body. It is very exciting to walk into a school of 1000 young people and walk out one hour later knowing that every young person and faculty member heard the gospel. In the last three days we have preached to the entire student body of over a dozen such schools. We thank the Lord such an opportunity.

On Monday, July 5th, we begin our six week Gospel crusade in the Philippines. The Lord has brought together a wonderful team of people to help us reach and reap the harvest. Our goal this crusade is to present the gospel-either through a personal witness or the preaching of the word to 70,000 people. In order to help us accomplish this task we have assembled a team of 120 soul winners from six different countries that will join me in the Philippines. We have printed nearly 500,000 'Good News' gospel tracts and a pamphlet I wrote entitled 'Be Sure' that we give to all who make salvation decisions.

Our campus ministry, Student Movement for Christ, SMCI has been diligently securing permission to preach the Gospel on University, College and High School campuses throughout the Philippines. Our first week alone we have permission to preach the gospel to the student bodies of 63 High Schools and dozens of Universities and Colleges. Our SMCI staff will work alongside us and follow up the converts from each Island during the year ahead. All who make salvation decisions will fill out a particulars card-the card will be given to our SMCI staff and through out the year they will work on following them up. Over the years we have seen many saved, disciple, and called into fulltime service as a result of our campaigns.

Please pray along with us during our campaign. Here is our schedule;

July 5-10, Leyte, Philippines
July 12-17, Cebu, Philippines
July 19-31, Negros, Philippines
August 2-7, Bohol, Philippines
August 9-14, Davao, Philippines

Please pray for power on the preaching of God's Word, open doors to preach the Gospel, protection as we travel and physical strength to accomplish the task. These are physically difficult meetings. It is what I call 'cowboy evangelism'. We will be preaching in class rooms or on open fields all day and holding Gospel meetings at night. The majority of the time we will be sleeping on the floor somewhere, bathing out of a bucket, traveling in hired vehicles or on a crowded boat. It is also the rainy season, which brings malaria. Needless to say we need your prayers.

The Campus Evangelistic Crusade Starts This Saturday!

2009-07-09T20:54:00.001+08:00

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel," so commanded our Lord and that is exactly what GLCC and SMC'I intend to do.

For the next five weeks we are teaming up to take the gospel to as many people as we can. On Monday our team from Singapore will meet up with our team from the Philippines and together we will storm the university and high school campuses of Negros--taking the Gospel from room to room during the day and holding Gospel Services at night.

The following week we will move onto the Island of Bohol and during the day we will go soul winning and preach the truth in stationary meetings and in the evenings show Gospel films-preaching the Gospel to crowds of people.

From there we will spend a week each in Cebu, Leyte and Davao. On each Island we will share the message of salvation to all who will listen.

Our goal is to present the saving message of Jesus Christ to 40,000 people in 5 weeks! We also will distribute 250,000 gospel tracts and we believe the Lord for several thousand salvation decisions. Our SMC'I teams will take care of the follow up and discipleship. Remember us in prayer these next five weeks as we labour to see souls snatched from the snare of Satan.

I trust all is well and the work of the Lord is increasing. Lisa and I just finished a busy six-weeks of ministry that took us from a Restricted Access Nation, Singapore, Australia, Philippines and Cambodia. In all I preached the word over 80 times and Lisa spoke and ministered countless times.

In the RAN country we had wonderful opportunities to minister. Lisa held lectures in five different universities, teaching students on morality and making right choices. After each lecture many of these students had the opportunity to hear the gospel and make that right choice of trusting the Lord. While Lisa was lecturing I was teaching the underground church. I also had the rare opportunity to preach the gospel in several large companies. From the RAN country we immediately went to Australia were I preached for a week in a State wide preachers conference. From Australia we went directly to the Philippines and in to gospel meetings. In four days I preached the gospel in 20 different meetings to several thousand people.

From the Philippines Lisa and I and one of our workers from the Philippines went to Cambodia. In June 2009 we will be starting our first branch of Student Movement for Christ International in the capitol city of Cambodia, Phnom Phen. While in Cambodia I preached a missions conference for some Filipino missionaries and we made preparation for our campus ministry. We are excited about the possibility of reaching Cambodian students with the gospel. A young lady who was saved in our campus ministry in the Philippines will be going to Phnom Phen to pioneer the work. Please pray for this new venture of faith.

Lisa and I will spend the next few weeks in Singapore. I will be preaching a series of gospel meetings on Dec. 24-25. Our church has rented a 1700 seat auditorium for this gospel out-reach. Please pray for a wonderful harvest of souls. What a great present to present to our Lord as we remember His birth by preaching the gospel on Christmas. May the Lord grant your church a blessed Christmas and whatever you do may it result in the salvation of souls for the glory of God.

Not I but Christ

August Update

2008-08-07T22:22:00.002+08:00

Greetings,

We trust all is well and the work of the Lord is increasing!

July 2008 Campus Evangelistic Campaign

The dawn of August 5th brought to an end over a month of aggressive evangelism in the Philippines. As many already know Student Movement for Christ International (SMCI) is our campus work in the Philippines. Presently we have Bible studies and evangelistic out-reaches on nearly 50 different University, College and High School campuses. During the month of July we planned, prepared and prayed to reach these campuses with the Gospel.

With the help of a teams from our church in Singapore, Highlands Baptist Church in Colorado and our own SMC'ians we took the wonderful message of Christ crucified and resurrected to Universities and Colleges on four different Islands! Being armed with over 350,000 Gospel tracts, a few gospel films and the Holy Spirit's power we shared that Good News to all who would listen.

On some campuses we took the truth from classroom to classroom. On others, we would pass out tracts and do personal soul winning and then hold Gospel meetings on the campuses in the evenings. Sometimes we would just get a bunch of students together who had no class and proclaim the Gospel to them. At other times we would invite students to a gospel film on campus and after the film we would preach the Word.

It was a privilege to speak to crowds ranging from 2 to 20 to 2000 people! In two weeks we were able to pass out over 75,000 of the Gospel tracts and share the Good News with 20, 633 people. There were 11,152 people who made salvation decisions. We thank the Lord for this wonderful opportunity and the great team of soul winners who gave so much of themselves to reach so many precious Filipino souls.
