Student Movement for Christ International’s (SMCI) 2009 Evangelistic Campaign started on Monday in the island of Negros Oriental, Philippines. This annual missions effort on the campuses of the Philippines has resulted in thousands of professions of faith. This year’s target is that 40,000 will hear the Gospel in the four-week campaign.
Pt Mike Redick is leading this year’s team of evangelists from the Philippines, Singapore and US. Below is a report of God’s power demonstrated on the first day of the campaign at Negros Oriental State University’s Bayawan campus:
On Monday, the first day of the campaign, the teams journeyed to the campuses of Bayawan for a day of class to class and mass evangelism!
When they arrived, the school had changed the plan without informing them. Instead of allowing for the Crusade as promised, they had called a campus work day and put all the students to work in teams around the rooms and property! When Ptr Mike and the team met the administration, they were told there was no way they would change the plan unless it rained and the students couldn’t work. The team said, “OK!”
They went outside and PMike said, “Do you have your umbrellas?” The team said yes, they were ready and they prayed! Immediately it started to rain, and it rained for two full hours! Work day cancelled!
471 students stayed back for the preaching and personal evangelism and 300 made decisions!
Please continue pray for the success of this evangelism effort!

Koreans are basically a strong militant race. They do not shun a fight. The Korean Christian population is also clearly divided into conservative Presbyterians and exuberant Charismatics. In… Read More.... | 1 Comment
Going back to the Philippines for winter break is something I truly looked forward to. After a not so normal Christmas and New Year/birthday celebration in China, I was more than ready to hibernate and enjoy the sun in my home country alone. But as usual, plans change every minute.
