Getting settled in Cebu City, Philippines – A Message from Jim Hobby

We have been here about seven weeks and all is going well. We are moved into our mountain home, bought a small van and made a few videos.

We are in the mountains of Minglanilla and what a great place to live. I have set up my office and made several videos. I post them on Utube and on Sunday morning here (which is 12 hrs earlier in the US)I send out the link, with a Happee Early Sunday, to some of my friends and family. Man you just can’t beat this 21st century technology! I used to go out knock on doors and do everything but pull a gun on people to convince them to come to church. Now you can preach, post and send; and there it is right in their pocket or pocketbook!

Right now the videos are our prime way of reaching folks here as we get aquainted with new friends. Next we hope to get back with our old friends and organize some mass feeding and preaching services; please continue praying for this effort, and also speak this poverty spirit out of every home in this great nation.

The poverty here has always stirred my soul. So many precious, very skilled and talented folks work for slave wages. The young man that works here with us was making only 550 pesos a day. ($9.68 in US dollars)On these wages he supports his wife and five children. Since I am the one that is responsible for his pay it sure is not that low any more and will get better and better if I stay here!

When I began to do a little study on this subject I found that the Philippines are one of the richest countries in the world in minerals. It is third in gold with some fifty-four thousand tons of unmined gold. It is fourth in copper with some 2.9 billion tons, fifth in nickel and sixth in chromite. There is a high grade of chromite that is worth some $295,000 for one kilo.

This wealth under the surface of tens of millions living in poverty only reinforces my conviction that this is a spiritual problem and the only thing that will move it is for some Holy Ghost filled people speaking with hard core Holy Ghost Power to move in God’s promised abundance and push this mountain of poverty into the Pacific Ocean.

We welcome all to join us! Just anytime during your daily living; stop for a moment and scream this devil off the map! Talk to him just like you would talk to a rattle snake that has invaded your home! We must be effectual and fervent if we are to really get some big stuff done and this is big stuff!
