DEVOTIONAL/PRAYER REQUEST March 15 2013.
I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now[a] send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
- Acts 26:17-18
Gods message to Paul….is the same for us today as we are obedient to the Great Commission -
"Go ye therefore into all the world.”
The focus of the JPA Ministry is to open the eyes of the people of the Philippines so that they may hear the truth, have their spiritual eyes opened, to repent, and to turn to our Heavenly Father – to worship and praise Him, and to live with Him for eternity.

Bryan Creswell, our Executive Director, has just returned from the Philippines. He met with many men, and had the opportunity to teach and preach. Four hundred local churches want to join with JPA to better minister to their own congregations in the Philippines. They are hungry to learn the skills to be better equipped to teach, preach and reach.
JPA is not a ‘hit and run’ visitation ministry. The operational goal is to have ongoing, sustainable, God-directed ministry among the people. JPA does not want to visit … but to stay and work.
What can you do to help this outreach? Pray. Give. Be involved.
Contact Bryan with any questions, or to join with us in some manner.
Pray for:
