Pastor John Greiner leaves Thanksgiving Day for his 6^th trip to the Philippines. Each trip, Glorious Way has partnered with local ministries to host Fresh Oil Ministers’ Conferences, and this one is set for Iloilo City. The conference will draw from the entire island of Panay, an area about half the size of New Hampshire with a population of about 2 million. GWC member Norma David, who organizes the conferences, says this one seems especially significant.

“This is the first time that ministers from Panay Island have a convergence in one place,” she says, noting the array denominational groups that are registered. “They haven’t had any unity before.” So far, David says, about 1300 ministers have registered to attend.

With the meeting lasting the better part of 4 days, each day holds a cram-packed schedule for the ministers: morning and afternoon minister’s sessions, plus evening prayer meetings and nightly healing/evangelism rallies
to reach the lost. Pastor Greiner considers his mission there like a strategic target. “I don’t have all the answers,” he says, “but I do have something, and ‘such as I have’ I give to them.” In past Fresh Oil conferences, even ministers with no experience in spiritual gifts have been eager to learn, and hundreds have received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Response has been amazing.

With all the effort on this one, David says Pastor Levy Padlan Jr. of Mt. Moriah Family Christian Fellowship, the host church, is expecting all-out revival. In a meeting in another part of the Philippines 2 years ago, Cindy Jacobs reportedly prophesied that Iloilo City would indeed experience historic revival and that the area would be called the America of the East because of the huge number missionaries it would begin sending to other countries. Ministers in the region are feeling that now’s the time for that revival. So do we!

GWC has budgeted about $50,000 for the event, which includes not only the travel and venue expenses, but also payment to all attendees for half of their transportation costs, lunch for 3 days, and 3000 bags of rice to hand out to local residents who attend the evangelistic and healing rallies. We'll also leave behind extensive media materials, including books by Pastor John Greiner, children's curriculum and boxes of faith materials supplies by GWC Members Bert and Norma David of Lightbearers Ministry.
