Gospel Miracle Crusade in the Philippines

The Danish evangelist Peter Capili Hansen and his team from Sweden and Denmark recently had an evangelistic outreach with humanitarian relief in the Philippines.

Evangelist Peter has been involved with evangelistic mission and relief work in many places in Europe, Ethiopia and Philippines since he started to preach the gospel when he was 17 years old. Philippines is a place where Peter and his wife, Abby especially love to be in. They have literally been across the Philippines preaching in cities, villages, jungles and open squares and seen hundreds of people saved and transformed by the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Most recently, they went to Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu. Alongside the gospel miracle crusade, they also gave rice and food to poor and homeless children and their families in cooperation with a local ministry called "Feeding the Children" founded by Pastor Robert Cuenca.

The crusade was held at the parking lot of a shopping mall for three nights. There were many churches from different denominations involved in this special evangelistic crusade right there on the parking lot of Marina Mall. They put up a stage, chairs and speakers. During the meetings more and more people came by to listen. There was a lady the first night that was out shopping and while she was on her way home, she noticed the crusade meeting on the parking lot and she got curious and wanted to see and listen. In the prayer for the sick, she got healed in her back. All pain disappeared!

Evangelist Peter was preaching a very radical gospel sermon that night and many people committed their lives to Jesus that night. After the service more people claimed to be healed in their bodies.

The rumours spread about the meetings and the following two nights around 8000 people in all attended the meetings on the shopping mall parking lot! First, Evangelist Peter was speaking about Christ as our healer and that Jesus could heal even today. Then he prayed for the sick and many experienced a healing touch in their bodies. After praying for the sick he started to preach the gospel with great boldness about salvation, hell, repentance, sin and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Hundreds of people responded to the gospel preaching and wanted to follow Jesus and believe in Him.

Peter explained: "This is what evangelism is about, being out there in the street, just like in the bible. Being face to face with non-believers who did not expect to hear about Jesus. I want to bring the gospel to the people and street crusades are a great tool and I wish more Christians do this. Preaching the full gospel and healing the sick where people are."

In these three crusade nights in Lapu-Lapu, the Word of God was planted in the hearts of thousands and many heard the full gospel being preached for the first time.

Alongside the crusade, the team also visited the dumpsites, a public school and a feeding program for homeless children. In these different locations they preached the gospel to thousands of children and gave out food packages as well.

After the mission on Lapu-Lapu they went on to another Island called Dumaguete where they continued to preach the gospel in a crusade by the beach! They also gave out gifts for hundreds of kids and rice bags for families in the villages around the beach resort. Many people publicly declared that they wanted to follow Jesus Christ and were added to the church.

Peter Capili Hansen and his team are already planning the next outreach and has a hope that they will be able to reach out in these kinds of outreaches every month.

Planning for a Philippine Travel

Like the Bahamas, the Philippine island is also worth a valuable visit from anyone who wishes to witness the distinct sceneries each country island offers. A matter of this fact, there is a significant increase in the percentage rate of current tourist visits in the country.

Other than the scenic views, another factor that makes the country worth everyone's visit is the one-of-a-kind Filipino culture that is definitely deemed for its uniqueness. Spanish, Japanese and Americans -- these are three prominent races that have greatly influenced the Filipino culture.

As one of the most developing countries in Asia, the Philippines country guarantees every tourist with a wide variety of impeccable services and accommodations. This is with the inclusion of deluxe beach resorts, international golf courses, 5 star hotels and many exciting promising places.

If you are planning to travel to the Philippines, be sure to secure the following:

1. Major Philippine Travel Requirements
* Passport. This is the foremost essential requirement you need to secure prior to depart for a Philippine travel. The validity of your passport may vary depending on the purpose of your country visit. For further specific passport requirement details, you can contact any Consulate or Embassy, whichever is accessible nearby your location.

* Philippine Currency. This is not really that necessary, for as long as you have your own savings account. You can always go into any money changers available in the Philippine country. Or else, you can make use of other available faster resources such as electronic banks, to aid you with your financial needs, later on your visit.

So far, those are the only major requirements you would need to secure. Other than the abovementioned are optional but also recommended.

2. Minor Philippine Travel Requirements
* What you would need other than passport, visa and currency is at least the basic idea about the following:

o Transportation. Manila --The capital of the Philippines can be reached via airlines from any the country across the globe. Available customary flights are made possible by the Philippine major airlines including SEAIR or Southeast Asian Airlines, Air Philippines, Asian Spirit, Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines.

Inside the country, there are accessible transportation means like LRTs, taxi, buses, jeepneys, and tricycles. If you prefer for a more private ride, you can go for car rentals available. You can always ask for assistance from any trustworthy road officials or individuals.

o Weather. Tropical country as it is called, you can only expect for two seasons in the Philippines -- the dry and rainy seasons.
Hot and dry seasons usually fall on the months of October to May. On the other hand, rainy seasons happen in June until September. Though, because of global warming effects, the dry and rainy months may be unpredictable anymore. But recently, rainy seasons usually occur in the months of June until October. Later than October would be all hot and cool dry seasons.

o Food. As for the food and beverages, you can always avail of any local dishes or international dishes served by different restaurants and fast foods spotted anywhere in the country, usually in big cities.

o Communication media. Just like other countries, the Philippines country is not really that behind in terms of technology. In fact, whatever is accessible in big countries like the U.S. are also available in the Philippines. This is made possible by the power of import-export treaties as handled by the Philippine government, particularly in the economic sections. From wired to wireless Internet, smart phones and cellular phones, whichever you would prefer.

o Language. Well, this too, is not really a big deal for majority of Filipinos are familiar and capable to communicate using the universal language -- English. But if you really need help with translations, then you can always appoint professional language translators to help you understand the language. There are a lot of available tourists' guides who have obtained degrees from studying different languages.

The next thing you'll need to do is to prepare your travel itineraries. Doing so would help you organize your destinations, thereby, avoiding potential hassles to arise in the future. After having known all of these things, you are then all set for your Philippine travel plan. The rest is up to your own discovery when you are already inside the Philippine country.

Easy Philippine Travel Tips:

If it is your first time and you are determined enough to visit Philippines, a little country research may be necessary for you to have at least the basic thought of what and how it is to be there.

Philippines to Attract Foreign "Silver Market"

RP as a retirement haven to be featured in IMWell Summit
The world is aging. For the first time in history, the old will outnumber the young. But 'Global Aging' will not only come with challenges-for some countries, it will come with big economic opportunities. The Philippines could become a major player for medical travel and retirement with the emergence of this global demographic trend.

In light of this scenario, the Philippines will be hosting the International Summit on Medical Travel, Wellness and Retirement (IMWell Summit) on October 12-15, 2010 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel. Staged in collaboration with Asian players that include India, Thailand, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, the IMWell Summit is envisioned to be a forum for different countries to hold multilateral dialogues and discuss how they can cooperate for the region to further develop the medical tourism and retirement industry. A major part of the IMWell Summit will also focus on international retirement migration and how Asian countries (and the foreign retirees) will be able to benefit from it.

"I believe that the Philippines could become one of the major destinations for the fast growing Silver Market. The country offers the combination of services in the sector of tourism, wellness, healthcare and medical services which are pillars for a comfortable retirement", said Henry Schumacher, Chairman of the Retirement and Healthcare Coalition and EVP of the European Chamber.

The Retirement and Healthcare Coalition (RHC), composed of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), American Chamber, Japanese Chamber, and Korean Chamber, promotes the Philippines as a second home and as a retirement destination.

In 2008, RHC presented five destinations that are most suitable for retirement: Manila, Cebu, Clark/Subic, Dumaguete, and Tagaytay. The selection of these locations was based mainly on easy access to amenities such as high-quality medical centers, health and wellness facilities, leisure and sports facilities, commercial establishments, good infrastructure and housing units at competitive rates.

"The Philippines has a lot to offer for foreign retirees. Here they can enjoy a more pleasant climate, upgrade their lifestyle with lower investment and daily cost. With 7,107 islands the Philippines is not only a beach destination, but it has a lot more to offer. Recreation, golf, diving, wellness, spa and shopping are just a few of the things a retiree can enjoy here", says Marc Daubenbuechel, Project Manager of RHC.

Manila alone has a lot to offer for a retiree, with a wide range of shopping malls around the Central Business District, outdoor activities such as golf and polo, and parks or a walk along Manila bay where one can enjoy Manila's sunset. Like Manila, Cebu, another choice retirement destination, offers a large collection of shopping malls, restaurants, entertainment centers. And if the city is getting too much, there are the white sandy beaches and some of the world's best dive sites within reach.

Alternatively, Clark/Subic, Dumaguete and Tagaytay offer a different kind of retirement destination. From Dumaguete's spectacular coral reefs and marine wildlife, to Tagaytay's panoramic view of Taal Volcano with a much cooler climate and Subic's beaches and jungle safaris, the choices for the retirees are endless. Retirees can relax and enjoy their golden years in the Philippines.

"With IMWell Summit this October, concentrating on healthcare and wellness market, these new opportunities will be explored and developed.

"With the materialization of the world, and the constantly increasing lifespan, it has become apparent that the silver market generation is bound to feel lonely and uncared for in their home countries. Philippines which is known for its compassionate care and excellent healthcare facilities, besides getting the full support of the government, undoubtedly has a great potential to become a preferred retirement destination. The IMWell Summit will discuss the way forward for the Philippines to achieve this goal," said Dr. Sanjiv Malik, Honorary Chairman of the IMWell Summit.

The IMWell Summit is produced and organized by HIM Communications, in collaboration with the Department of Tourism as Host, and supported by the Department of Health, Department of Trade and Industry, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Spa Association of the Philippines. The retirement track is organized by the Retirement and Healthcare Coalition.
