White Fields Ministry

During these times of lockdowns and government quarantine restrictions, the ministry of the pastors supported by White Fields has not slowed down or diminished. Instead, it has intensified and taken on whole new aspects for ministry.

Holding a Zoom Conference Call

I have chosen highlights from eight pastors out of the fifty we support to show you how God is moving.  Our pastors are serving their communities in brand new ways. There is also a fantastic response to the gospel by people in touch with our churches.

You can listen to this blog on the podcast below. Thank you for joining us in prayer. Your partnership helps us sustain these ministries.

In all our countries, the pastors are the ministers meeting the needs of the weakest and poorest members of their communities. The widows and orphans that would otherwise starve are receiving food. These tangible gifts of ministry also open doors for the gospel when neighbors ask, “Why does your church love you so much?” We are exceedingly grateful for our financial partners that make these gifts of food available.

Pastor Alvin Jamisola – the Philippines

Despite the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) due to the pandemic, I thank God that I have been able to visit the community and survey people’s current status from the pandemic situation. One I talked to is Masing. She is worried about her family, especially their daily needs for survival. Due to the work restrictions, she can no longer sell fish and so they are not making any regular income. They have not made enough money to stock up food, and so they depend on their daily income. The government has not provided a supply of food assistance for the community causing much worry and was the primary concern of our conversations. We prayed for God to give every individual wisdom and knowledge and provide comfort and provision for the community.

Their main concern was how to obtain rice. Their way of living is fishing, and some of their other family members can catch fish within their area, but this is unpredictable.

We praised God for his amazing provision amid this crisis and in answering our request. The day after my visit, where I learned of their concern and the situation in this area. I expressed this issue to our core leaders in the Light of Life community center. We designed an action plan and praised God for making the Light of Life community center His channel of blessing and his way of providing for the community’s needs. With these tangible gifts, we were able to pray, care, and share God’s blessing. We praise God that we do not just provide a temporary solution to this crisis but are also able to comfort the people as God has comforted us and give them the care that God has given us and the hope in life which God promised us.

* Pray for follow-up with these families for visits and further evangelism.* Pray for God to work in advance in the hearts of His people.* Pray for us to establish close relationships with them.* Pray for the families of this community that God will provide them health, peace, and strength during this challenging time.* Pray that the current crisis will draw people to God and that they would recognize Him as the source of hope and eternal life.

From the very beginning of the evangelistic outreach by the Disciples of Jesus, God has opened the doors. God promised that the disciples would have the power provided by the Holy Spirit to accomplish the task that God set before them. They would not be alone; God would be with them and never leave them.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.Acts 1:8

The Great Commission is the work of God using us to deliver the Good News of the gospel of Jesus Christ to people who need to hear. The way God does this is truly amazing. He is the one who opens the door to bring the gospel message to the people the Holy Spirit is preparing to respond. When Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch, they delivered a message to the church proclaiming that God had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. They had been commissioned by the church to go on their missionary travels, but it was God who was opening the door to lead them to people that would hear the gospel and respond in faith.

God Used this Encounter to Open the hearts of These ladies to Hear the Gospel – The Church was Started Three Years Ago

Pastor Solomon Translates at a Service in the New Building after three years of diligent evangelism and discipleship to establish the church.

And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.Acts 14:27

Philip Directed by the Spirit

The Holy Spirit has been leading people from the very beginning of the book of Acts. Sometimes the direction even seemed to be counterproductive to reaching large groups. In the case of Philip, he was preaching to sizable crowds who were responding with faith and obedience.

“But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”Acts 8:12

God used an angel to move him to a remote place away from all the crowds. Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. – Acts 8:26. The instructions would not have made sense to the typical expansionist human concept. We tend to think that to be more significant; we must be reaching the biggest crowd we can gather. But Philip obeyed God, and he departed from the crowds and went out to a desolate place. He was right where God wanted him to be. — And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” – Acts 8:29 The Ethiopian Eunuch was used to take the gospel far away from Jerusalem.

God Leads the Way

The evangelistic teams in the book of Acts practiced obedience to the call of God. There was prayer, consultation among the elders of the church, and an expectation that God would open the door to preach the gospel to the places he sent his ministers.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.Acts 16:9-10

We should focus on praying and listening to God so that he can lea...
