GOSPEL FEEDING OUTREACH

I Am Born Again Ministries did an outreach with Pastor Jonathan P. Galas, at Open Heaven Church Ministry, Purok Magsasaka, Brgy. Tacras, Narra. This is a new evangelizing area. Most of the residents there are Seventh-day Adventists.

FROM TERESA

We followed our usual routine: we started with prayer, taught the children uplifting action songs, and shared God’s Word. Sycee read the Bible story of Jonah, while Hazel continued to explain the lesson in a way that was easy to understand.

The response was truly wonderful—the children listened attentively, sang with joy, and showed great interest in the message. By the end of the teaching, we were blessed to lead about 60 individuals to receive the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Some were adults and some children who prayed with open hearts and accepted Jesus as their Savior. We praise our Heavenly Father for touching so many lives that day.

Afterwards we served the nourishing Manna Pack meals to everyone. We also shared sweet snacks, and we could see deep gratitude on every face.

Both children and adults were smiling and expressed their thanks again and again.They were very happy not only for the food but also for the time spent learning about God’s love.

We were encouraged by their openness and their desire to hear more. We pray that we may continue this feeding and ministry in Brgy. Aramaywan until the whole community truly receives the salvation of our Lord Jesus into their hearts.

YOUTH CAMP IN BROOKE’S POINT

This month, our youth traveled to a youth camp in Brooke’s Point, located in the southern part of Palawan, about a three-hour drive away. Twenty young people joined us, and for some of them, this was their very first time attending a youth camp away from the Refuge House.

The excitement was visible from the start. Along the journey, they shared stories, sang songs, and grew closer to one another. Altogether, there were 150 campers taking part in this one-week activity.

The program was filled with meaningful and joyful moments: powerful worship sessions, inspiring Bible teachings, fun team-building games, group discussions, and quiet times of prayer and reflection.

Everyone experienced God’s goodness, love, and presence in aspecial way; many felt His touch and received fresh encouragement for their walk with the Lord.

A wonderful highlight was that 30 participants—including some from our group—publicly declared their faith and received water baptism, symbolizing their new life in Christ.

It was truly a life-changing experience, and everyone returned home with joyful hearts, strengthened faith, and a deeper desire to serve God.

-- Teresa

FROM OUR YOUTH ABOUT THE CAMP

Praise the Lord! We are grateful for the successful camp in Brooke’s Point. The three-hour journey was safe, and God provided all our needs through your support.

We joined with other youth to worship, learn, and bond—with 30 believers, including some of us, receiving water baptism. We learned that faith means trusting God even when we cannot see. He provided for us and showed us that being a Christian means living by His Word.

We also learned to guard our faith, as the enemy seeks to steal it, but God gives us strength. Many of us were shy at first, but God gave us courage to speak and lead—teaching us He equips those He calls.

Most importantly, we realized we need a closer daily walk with God. This camp was a turning point, reminding us He meets us wherever we are. We found true family and support among one another. Thank you for your prayers and generosity—you blessed us greatly.

May God bless you as we carry these lessons into our daily lives.

Thank You & God bless You!! I.A.B.A.M. Youth.

OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS

Praise Jesus!! Ezekiel has graduated from college of criminology!! We are very thankful to God for you, for the wonderful opportunity to provide Ezekiel with his motorcycle for graduation through your kind heart and support.

Ezekiel was so funny when he got the motorcycle. He was saying “Is it really in my name?” LOL. He really didn't expect it.

We will keep you updated on Ezekiel as he prepares for his test in Manila. Please keep him in Prayer!

Praise Jesus! Sycee was accepted for and is now enrolled in nursing school! She will start her first year of nursing school this August. Please keep her in Prayer!

Please pray for everyone who was affected by the earthquake in Mindanao. The earthquake caused widespread damage to infrastructure, ports, and schools across the region. It has claimed lives, injured hundreds, and destroyed countless homes and buildings.

Our hearts are heavy and deeply saddened by what has happened in Mindanao. Yet even in sorrow, we hold fast to God’s promises. As it is written in Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

BELOVED

We want to express our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to each one of you. Thank you for continuing to remember us in your prayers. Your faithfulness lifts our spirits and strengthens us every day.

We are so grateful that you have chosen I Am Born Again Ministry to partner with us to share the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ!!

Thank you for your consistent prayers, your financial support, and for continuing to partner with us throughout this year. Your generosity allows us to keep reaching out, sharing the Gospel, and helping those in need. We want you to know that every contribution, big or small, is deeply valued and never taken for granted.

Thank you & God bless you for being a part of the Refuge House Family!
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY

We all Love You Much Much!!

PRAISE JESUS! Thank You Jesus!!

Blessed Father’s Day to all you Fathers!!

Praise Jesus - Lots to report this month!

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

From Teresa - Greetings of peace and joy to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Praise Jesus!! We are thankful to our heavenly Father for your life, and our hearts full of gladness and gratitude to share with you how wonderful our Lord Jesus Christ has been in recent activities.

We had 140 to 150 kids come every day to Vacation Church School at our Refuge House. Every day, we see the children coming with bright smiles and great excitement, ready to join every activity -- excited and eager to listen to God’s word and learn more about Jesus.

What touches us the most is seeing how their young hearts are growing in faith —they now truly believe that Jesus is alive. They now truly believe that He loves them. They truly believe He is the One who provides all they need and takes care of every part of their lives.

It is such a beautiful thing to witness, and we know all of this is possible because of God our Loving Father’s love, grace and mercy! It is possible because of the love of Jesus that flows through you to be in prayer and help us bring the message of reconciliation to God our Loving Father through his son Jesus Christ.

We want to share that the VCS (Vacation Church School) is a very special activity that happens only once a year. It is a precious opportunity we do not want to miss, because it is the time when we can gather, teach, guide, and bless little children in a special way. This is why we prepare, pray, and do our best to make it possible — because it only comes once a year, and its impact stays in their hearts forever.

Every day is a blessing for our children. They experience a wonderful time day by day, as they learn, grow, and understand more of God’s Word. Their hearts are open, their faith is growing, and every lesson they receive becomes a strong foundation for their life. It brings us so much joy to see them happy, eager, and walking in the truth of the Lord each day.

None of this would have been successful without prayers, your help, your support and your kindness. You gave not just what was needed, but you gave with willing and generous hearts, and every support, every prayer and every effort you shared became a blessing to these children and to all of us involved. We want you to know—you are a very important part of this work of God, and your help has made a lasting impact that will remain in the lives of these children for years to come.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for answering God’s call to serve and bless others. Thank you for believing and continuing to choose this ministry. And thank you for walking alongside us as partners in sharing God’s love.

As you have blessed the children, we also lift you up in our prayers every day. We ask our Heavenly Father to pour out His richest blessings upon each one of you, your families and everything you have. May He fill your hearts with joy, your lives with peace, and may He always provide for every need you have, just as He promised. May you always experience His presence and favor wherever you go. May God bless you abundantly, now and always. Thank you and God bless you.

GIVING SCHOOL SUPPLIES

We are writing this letter with hearts overflowing with gratitude and joy, to share good news and express our deepest appreciation to each one of you who have been part of I Am Born Again Ministry and all the activity.

We praise our heavenly father for your life and thank you for your prayers and support, we're so blessed for all the blessings and opportunity to share God's love to these wonderful children.

We set a separate special day to distribute school supplies to all the children. Through your generous help and support, we were able to give notebooks. As we handed these items, we saw big smiles and bright eyes full of happiness and thankfulness.

For these children, these school supplies are not just things to use in school—they are reminders of God’s love and care for them, and proof that God uses kind-hearted people like you to provide for these kinds of needs. Every time they write, study and use these gifts, they will remember that God loves them, He hears them, and He always provides.

We especially want to send our warmest thanks to all of you who always have a willing heart to help, pray and support. You have been with us through many activities, you never tire of giving, praying and supporting God’s work and His children.

Even when no one may fully know or notice everything you do, even when we ourselves cannot repay or give back all the kindness you have shown—please be assured of this one great truth, Our Heavenly Father sees every act of goodness, every sacrifice, every gift and every prayer you offer for these young ones.

Nothing you have done is wasted or forgotten. The Lord Himself is our rewarder, and He will surely bless each and every one, your family and everything you have according to His riches and goodness. He knows our heart, and He is faithful to repay more than what everyone has given.

Your help has made a big difference—it helped make our Vacation Church School and giving school supplies successful, it brought joy and hope to the children, and it helped plant seeds of faith that will grow in their lives forever. You are truly partners in God’s work, and your kindness will bear fruits that last for eternity.

We continuously pray for you day by day. We ask God to pour out His favor, grace, protection and abundant provision upon your lives. May He fill your hearts with joy, grant all the desires of your heart that align with His will, and may you always experience His wonderful presence every step of the way.

Once again, thank you for your love, generosity and faithful service to God and His children. May the Lord bless you a hundredfold more! Thank you and God bless you!

EZEKIEL GRADUATION

We want to lift our hearts in deepest gratitude to God first, and to each one of you who became an instrument of His blessing for Ezekiel’s to finish his college and to graduate this coming month of June.

This achievement is not his alone, it is the fruit of your love, prayers, sacrifices, and generous support. Thank you so much for standing with him, for helping him in every way, and for being part of his journey to finish and reach this goal in life.

Because of your help, he was able to continue, overcome challenges, and complete his studies. God working through You opened doors and provided what was needed, and gave encouragement to him. Through prayers and support he was encouraged to keep going even when it was hard. The Love of Jesus working through You, did not just give help but you gave him hope, strength, and a great step toward his future and his purpose in life.

Every support you gave big or small — became a foundation that lifted him up. Ezekiel, together with all of us, are so deeply thankful to God for people like you, who care, share, and help build a life for God’s Glory.

We pray that God will return every blessing you gave, a hundred times more, into your lives, your family, and your work. May He bless the work of your hands and keep you always in His goodness and grace.

We have almost enough to purchase Ezekiel's Motorcycle. Please pray!

To God be all the Glory, Honor, and Praise!
Thank You and God Bless You!

OUR REFUGE HOUSE TEAM GIVING GOSPEL TRACTS

Beloved, truly our hearts are full of thankfulness having this opportunity to share God's goodness through giving tracts, going from place to place, seizing every opportunity just to share God’s truth and love.

In these times when so many troubling things are happening around us, when heavy problems, uncertainties and fears surround the lives of many, leaving hearts confused, burdened and looking for something solid to hold on to – our passion and eagerness to bring them the hope we have only grows stronger each day.

We long for every person we meet to know deep in their hearts that we do not have to face life’s battles and struggles alone, that there is a faithful and loving God whom we can trust with all our being, a God who is mighty to save, strong to deliver, and always ready to be our refuge and strength no matter what storms may come.

Every tract we hand out, every kind word we speak, every moment we spend to reach out is driven by this great desire: that many will realize that God is real, that He cares for them personally, and that He is the only sure anchor that can keep us steady amidst all the chaos and difficulties we face today.

SUNRISE SERVICE

Beloved, our sunrise service was such a beautiful, sacred moment that left our hearts overflowing with gratitude. As we lifted up our praise to our Heavenly Father, we are so thankful for that unshakable assurance He constantly pours into our spirits! As we watched the golden sunrise break through the darkness, painting the sky with His glory, it reminded us once again that His light is far greater than any chaos. His power is mightier than any problem. His presence within us is our greatest treasure and protection.

REFUGE HOUSE KIDS FELLOWSHIP

Beloved, we are praising our Heavenly Father for the life of these kids, giving their hearts to Jesus and enjoying the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We give all praise and glory to God for every wonderful moment shared with the children here! It is such a blessing to see them happily enjoying all the activities filled with loud laughter, bright energy, and pure joy as they play, learn and make beautiful memories with their friends.

Most of all, our hearts are filled with gratitude to see them worship God in spirit and in truth. With sincere and open hearts, they fully give their attention and listen to His Word that is being taught to them. They sing praises genuinely and draw close to God not just by action, but with all of who they are.

Vacation Church School is in progress and we will send a video soon.

PRAYER REQUEST

1 - Souls to be saved, healed and delivered!!

2 - Ezekiel will be graduating from his college in either June or July. We do not have the official date yet. Ezekiel has come so far from the little boy who came to the Refuge with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

He is now a wonderful young man whom the Lord our God has helped overcome so much adversity. He has also finished all his on-the-job training and will go to Manila to take the exams for a commission into either the Philippine National Police or the military.

We would like to present him with a graduation gift of a motorcycle. Please be in prayer for his exam and provisions for a motorcycle (approximately $1800.00 to $2000.00)

Be Blessed and Highly Favored!!

HALLELUJAH JESUS IS ALIVE!!!

BIRTH CERTIFICATE UPDATE

Last week Ezekiel went to the city to check if the birth certificate is already available. The teachers need the birth certificate since the graduation date is near.

Chris and Daniel did not have a birth certificate as their parents could not afford the processing fees before and related costs needed to secure this essential document.

Thank you so much for your generosity. Ezekiel successfully completed all procedures and received the birth certificates. We are praising and thankful for God’s provision. Thank you so much and God bless you!!

SCHOOL UPDATE

At the end of March, Chris Bryan will graduate from his 12th grade with an honor award. Daniel, the youngest, will graduate from 6th grade. Sycee will graduate with the highest honor award. Several of our young teens and youth are also going to graduate, and most of the children here at Refuge church have honors.

We are waiting to find out how many of our graduates will be sponsored by the government for college. Sycee has applied for nursing school, and we should be able to find out if she is accepted this month of April. The government does not sponsor that. College and regular school start in August so be in prayer for all the kids.

Ezekiel will graduate college in the month of July. Then he will go to Manila for his exam for either Philippine National Police or the military.

On behalf of all the children whose lives you have touched, we extend our deepest gratitude for your generous sponsorship that helped them finish their college, high school and elementary school. Your kindness has not only helped these young learners complete their studies but has also opened doors to a brighter future for them and their families.

Thank You and God Bless You!

GOSPEL & FEEDING OUTREACH

Our I.A.B.A.M. Refuge House Team went to Pinaglabanan in Quezon, Palawan. It is on the China Sea Side in a Palawan Tribe. Pastor Eugenio Fernandez and Pastor Jojo Torres are both pioneering there. Pastor Jojo is pioneering up on the top of the mountain. It is a two to three hours walk from the elementary school where we set up for outreach. Pastor Eugenio is pioneering in the lower parts of the area.

These two dedicated laborers in God’s vineyard expressed deep gratitude for I Am Born Again Ministries to come help share the Good News of Jesus. By God’s grace, when the Refuge House Team arrived they were overjoyed to find nearly a hundred children and 30 adults eagerly awaiting as more continued to come. Pastor Jojo shared that some of the children from the top of the mountain were not able to make it because of the three hour walk and chores they had to do.

Because the water near the school had run dry, Ezekiel and the rest of the boys had to go to the river to get water. It was approximately 500 meters away and up and down a narrow winding trail. The children helped by guiding the way to the river on the safest path and helping to carry the water.‎‎

I.A.B.A.M. Refuge House Team witnessed the incredible faith and determination of the families who came. Many parents and children walked two to three hours to reach the outreach site while others courageously crossed rivers with their little ones in hand. Despite their exhaustion, they came with hope and trust that God’s love awaited them. Every step they took was a testimony of faith and perseverance, showing that even simple acts are transformed by God’s power. Over 100 children and adults responded to the Holy Spirit, drawing them to our Lord Jesus Christ doing this outreach.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

REFUGE HOUSE

Our children's day this month was for children in the areas of Takas, Maharlika, and Baryo. We praise the Lord Jesus, for nothing hinders our worship of Him! God’s work prevails, as joy and gladness shone on every child’s face.

OUTREACH

Our Refuge House Team did an evangelist outreach at a Wesleyan Church in Brgy. Teresa, Narra, Palawan. It is located in the south and takes about a one hour drive to get there. This is a new pioneering church that has started in this area. Our Refuge House Team not only went house to house, but also had a children's outreach.

Pioneering pastors have very little support. I Am Born Again Ministries is blessed to have always worked with these pioneering pastors to provide manna packs, with all the vitamins and minerals that children need, to start feeding programs at these new churches, and to help evangelize in their areas. There is always some opposition when you start pioneering a church in a new place. Only a small number of children came to the children's outreach at the Barangy Plaza. Even though there were only a few children, when they arrived you could see the curiosity, excitement and happiness in their eyes.

Teresa shared that in the opening prayer, many of them closed their eyes sincerely, some clasping their small hands tightly as if holding on to every word. She said that it was touching to see how attentive they were. Even at a young age, their respect and openness to prayer were evident. The atmosphere became calm and peaceful, setting a beautiful tone for the rest of the outreach. Some were shy at first, standing quietly at the back, but as the songs continued, they slowly joined in. By the second and third song, almost everyone was dancing and singing wholeheartedly.

Ezekiel shared the story about Jonah and the big fish from the Bible. The children listened attentively. When they heard how Jonah tried to run away and was swallowed by a big fish, their eyes widened in amazement. When the story reached the part where Jonah prayed inside the big fish, the children became quiet. It was as if they were imagining themselves in Jonah’s place -- afraid, alone, yet learning to trust God. Many of them shared afterward that they learned it is important to obey and to pray even when we feel scared. The story left a deep impression on them.

EZEKIEL'S REPORT

During my On-the-Job Training (OJT) as a Criminology Intern, I was assigned this month to help maintain the safety and security of the school premises. I assisted in securing the parking lot by monitoring vehicles entering and exiting the campus, ensuring proper parking procedures, and staying alert for any suspicious activities. This responsibility enhanced my observation skills, situational awareness, and ability to respond calmly in maintaining order.

I was also assigned at the school gate where I checked students to ensure they were not carrying dangerous weapons or prohibited items. I performed these duties with professionalism, fairness, and respect while strictly implementing the rules to help maintain discipline and safety within the campus.

As the Platoon Leader of my team, I was responsible for giving instructions, organizing assignments, and leading my fellow interns in performing our duties effectively. This experience strengthened my leadership, teamwork, and decision making skills, preparing me for future responsibilities in the field of criminology.

REFUGE HOUSE TEAM GIVING TRACTS

The night before the outreach, the teens and young people gathered at Refuge House for a meeting. The teams were given reminders and shared instructions on how to approach people with love, humility, and respect. Most importantly, they spent time in worshipping the Lord and in prayer, asking for God’s protection, guidance, wisdom, and strength as they prepared to share His Word.

They also prayed for the people they would meet, that their hearts would be open to receive the message of salvation. At 7:00 a.m., the team left Refuge House, and by 8:00 a.m. arrived safely at Barangay Panacan 2. The group was composed of 11 young teens and six young people, together with Auntie Virgie and Hazel.

Many of the people were in need of hope, comfort, and a Savior Jesus Christ. Through simple conversations and the giving of tracts, The Team was able to tell them that Jesus Christ loves them and that salvation is found in Him alone.

Refuge House Team gave tracts to people wherever they found them, in their homes, in their kitchens while cooking, in their yards while cleaning, mothers washing clothes, children playing basketball, tricycle drivers waiting for passengers, store vendors serving customers, mothers caring for their babies, and even fishermen resting from their work.

Many received the tracts with joy and expressed their gratitude, saying they felt blessed to receive the Word of God. His peace and gladness were felt as the team shared the blessings they have in Jesus. It was a simple act, yet powerful, because the Word of God was planted in many hearts.

All glory and thanksgiving belong to the Lord, for He allowed our Refuge House Team to be instruments of HIS Love. Truly, everyone was blessed, and the team themselves was even more blessed and thankful to be part of HIS work.

Giving Tracts

KIDS FELLOWSHIP AND GIFT GIVING

After opening prayer, the kids excitedly joined in action praise songs. They sang and moved with all their energy, expressing their joy and praising God with happy hearts. Their cheerful voices and lively actions showed how much they enjoyed worshiping together.

Next, a Bible verse was shared, followed by a Bible story from Luke 15:1–7 about the lost sheep that was found. The children listened attentively and were very happy to learn that God loves them so much and never forgets them. Their reactions showed understanding and excitement as they realized that they are important and deeply cared for by our precious Lord Jesus.

After the Bible lesson, we had a fun and exciting water balloon game. Laughter filled the place as the children played, ran, and enjoyed the activity together. The game brought so much joy and strengthened the bond among the kids, making the fellowship even more memorable.

All the children received gifts. Their faces glowed with happiness and gratitude as they accepted them. Truly, the children are special, and their joyful smiles were a beautiful testimony of how blessed and thankful they were to our loving Father God and to you, for the love of Jesus that flows through you.

After all the activities, we had a feeding time. This moment was very special because it was not only about filling their stomachs, but also about sharing love, care, and fellowship.

The kids sat together, happily eating and talking, their faces still glowing with excitement from the games and lessons. Many of them expressed their thanks with bright smiles and simple words of gratitude.

It was touching to see how a simple meal could bring so much happiness and comfort to them. The feeding reminded everyone that God provides for our needs and that through sharing we become instruments of His love. The children felt cared for and valued, and their thankful hearts showed how blessed they were to receive both spiritual and physical nourishment.

FROM TERESA & JACKIELOU

Hallelujah, praise Jesus! It is with a joyful and grateful heart that we share with you the wonderful work that God has done this month. By the grace of the Lord, we conduct a baptism service at the riverside of Barangngay Estrella Village. Two parents, four young people, and 11 young teens publicly declared Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Truly angels rejoiced with us as these souls took a bold step of obedience and faith!

A touching moment came when one of the parents testified that this baptism was the opportunity they had long prayed for. Their testimony brought inspiration to many and glorified God for HIS faithfulness in every season of life.

An especially moving moment was hearing the young teens share how they prayed the night before, asking God to help them remain faithful after baptism. Their sincerity gave us renewed hope for the next generation of believers.

PRAISE JESUS

We also celebrate our Thanksgiving and church anniversary. We started the celebration with a time of praise, followed by the Word of God. During the worship service we had a child dedication for Angelle Divine De Jesus, daughter of Mrs. Diosdado De Jesus and Mr. Ernie De Jesus from the Maharlika area. Together with the parents, the godfather and godmother and also with the congregation we dedicated the child in God's love, care and protection.

Next was fun games for parents, and as expected the laughter was heard everywhere. The enjoyment was poured out by God to each heart to remind us that He is the source of joy & happiness.

After the parents’ games, the fun paused briefly for the feast, and everyone was so excited, as we were all hungry! Even while eating, the joy and excitement for what was next never left anyone’s face. Everyone ate their fill of the delicious food prepared young and old alike kept going back for seconds (and more!).

Once we finished eating, we had games for the kids. They were just as loud and cheerful as the adults, showing off the same competitive spirit they get from their parents.

Finally, about 6:30 in late afternoon after a busy day, it was the youth time to have fellowship, praising and worshiping the Lord, hearing words of encouragement, taking time to pray and thank our Heavenly Father for the salvation, blessings, provision and his goodness throughout the year.

We are overflowing with humble gratitude for our recently concluded Thanksgiving Anniversary Celebration and baptisms. We know none of this would have been possible without God’s abundant blessing, mercy, and grace through your life. That’s why we thank the Lord so deeply for your lives. Thank you so much for all your kindness this year for being part of I Am Born Again Ministries and Refuge House Family. You are HIS precious instruments that helped make this a joyful gathering for all of God’s children here. Thank you so much for your lives, for your support and prayers. Your love and care means a lot to all of us, and we truly are thankful and continue praying to our Heavenly Father that HIS mighty works flow in your life! May HIS blessings and provision of long and healthy life overflow day by day in every part of your life and family!
