Rock and Roll Seminar – 1984
The auditorium was filled to overflowing . . . I felt like I was standing in front of a torrent of truth as Rice Broocks preached the gospel of Jesus Christ with unreserved passion and conviction. All I knew was that I was a sinner who needed a Savior. After asking people to come forward, Rice led us in a prayer of salvation.

Mime ministry – 1984
“Mime was a significant tool for our ministry back then.
We performed mime on the streets of University Belt to engage students and bring them to Christ. We do this because we are committed to do whatever it takes to preach the gospel.”

Volunteer Pastor, Victory BGC
SALVATION TESTIMONY
“I thought I had everything. As a basketball player, I won a lot of championships, awards, and recognition. I told myself, "This is what I live for". But deep inside, I knew something was lacking. I met Jesus while playing for the national team in 1986. I received Him as my personal Savior and realized that serving and following His will is what life is all about. “

First Youth oN Fire Camp in Zambales – 1991
“I will never forget, our very first youth camp with the theme, “Go with the Power” in 1991 where our youth pastor and campus evangelist, Ferdie Cabiling led the charge. It was full of fun, joy, and excitement. God’s presence was there and the powerful preaching of His word from Pastor Steve was so convicting that I made a commitment to ‘honor God and draw the line between me and the world that I will not cross again’.”
Marc Constantino
Senior Pastor, Victory Pasig
SALVATION TESTIMONY
“I gave my life to Jesus during the Youth on Fire summer camp. Since then, my life took a 180 degree turn. I have found a true father and brother in the Lord Jesus. By grace, God has used me to help train young leaders to bring the message of Christ in my campus. I pursued architecture for the glory of Jesus.”

EVERY NATION Bangladesh Church plant – 1992
“Our first service was in my living room. Over the years, the Lord has been using us to touch lives in the city of Chittagong. The reason why we are in Bangladesh is because these people are hopeless without having Christ in their lives. The challenges are always there— even life-threatening. But the grace of God always remains in our midst.“
Rocky Hashmi
Senior Pastor, Every Nation Bangladesh
SALVATION TESTIMONY
“I grew up in a Christian environment but always thought that all I needed was to accept Christ as my ticket to heaven. I met then my youth pastor, Bishop Ferdie Cabiling, and he challenged me to stop playing religious games and make it right with God. Since then, I decided to follow Jesus and there is no more turning back.”

SALVATION TESTIMONY
“When I met the short-term missions team from the Philippines on my campus, I did not speak a word of English. I asked them to teach me English and they immediately surrounded me and kept saying things I could not understand. I immediately went home to get my English dictionary so that I could check the meaning of the two words they kept repeating. I first went to the letter G and found the meaning of G-O-D. Then I went to the letter J. I saw the meaning of J-E-S-U-S. That was the first time I had ever heard of the name of Jesus and learned the meaning of God. My passion today is to fill my nation with the knowledge of God.”

UP Diliman Campus Invasion – 1997
“In my junior year at UP Diliman, I was invited to attend the Campus Invasion. Seeing hundreds of students passionately worshipping God gave me a vision of what He can do on my campus and a desire to one day have a youth service in the UP Film Center—something that God did a decade later.
30 years later, what was just a thought of raising godly Christian leaders in every sector of society, has become a reality as I have seen some of my batchmates, now serve as leaders in government, multinational corporations, NGOs, academe,
and more. ”
Pastor Christian Flores

How Real LIFE Foundation started – 1998
“We knew that we would give an account to God as to what becomes of the students at Rizal High School. Most of them would walk to and from school every day, would not have anything to eat, and would drink from the faucets for their tummies to be filled.
Several teachers got radically saved and they opened up their classes for the gospel. Students were saved and many have become Real LIFE scholars.”

SALVATION TESTIMONY
“When I was at the lowest point of my life, a friend invited me to a Sunday service at the Makati Sports Club in 2001. I heard the gospel through Bishop Ferdie Cabiling’s message. I responded and fully surrendered my life to Christ. My relationship with Jesus built strong convictions in me and empowered me to live a life of integrity.“

PRAYER & FASTING – 2002
“Our prayer and fasting came about when we were believing God for provision for our Every Nation Building 1. It was birthed from our dependence and desperation for God. As we surrendered to Him, He graciously and miraculously moved in our midst. Through the years, we continue to value prayer, fasting, intercession, and communion with God as we preach the gospel and make disciples.“
Manny Carlos

FAITH AND Generosity
“For four decades, the unwavering generosity of our donors
has propelled our mission. Their steadfast faith has fueled
our mission to build, train leaders, and transform nations.
Through their sacrificial giving, we’ve reached further, advanced God’s kingdom, and impacted more lives than
we ever thought possible. We honor their legacy of love, commitment, and vision.”
Crickette Abello
Director of Development, Every Nation Philippines
EVERY NATION BUILDING – 2003
“The Every Nation Building 1 served as a home for us to establish our presence in this city. Being strategically located around schools and universities, we were able to reach the students and impact the different spheres of society — military, local government, education, media, and business. God grew a thriving congregation that came together to help raise and send campus missionaries, pastors, and cross-cultural missionaries. The vision is to continue to Bring the Gospel to this City (BGC).”

SALVATION TESTIMONY
“In 2004, I followed someone going to “Youth on Fire”. Pastor Bong Navarro preached the gospel and for the first time, God’s love finally made sense to me. I realized that He is my Heavenly Father and in Him, I lack nothing. I was a freshman student at NTC back then. Today, I serve as an educator, living out God’s purpose in
the academe.“

CAMPUS HARVEST – 2004
“Campus Harvest 2004 gave us an affirmation that campus ministry works! It may take some time to see the fruit but it does. It's such a joy to see the student participants from all
over the Philippines from War Week 2000 now leading their campuses and bringing new students to this conference.
We really can change the campus and the world–even if it
takes time and even if it takes one student at a time.”

SALVATION TESTIMONY
“I was standing in front of our dormitory building when I saw a group of Filipinos engaging my classmates. They seemed to be making friends with my friends but none of them went over to me. I saw so much peace and joy that I walked up to them, introduced myself, and asked “Why do you have so much peace and joy?” They shared with me right there and then the source of their peace and joy. My life has never been the same ever since.”

EVERY NATION WORLD CONFERENCE – 2007
“EN07 Conference was a dramatic turning point in my life as it affirmed my calling to go to the nations. Seeing the nations represented during the conference gave me a glimpse of what heaven will be like one day. It was a trumpet call for me to go and preach God’s word to the nations. I’m blessed that, by God’s grace, I’m now a missionary, advancing God’s kingdom to the ends of the earth.”

THE CALL TO GO TO EVERY NATION – 2010
“The vision for world missions was planted for me in the first days of my life as a Christian. Pastor Steve Murrell and other leaders told us early on that we needed two things as believers: a Bible and a passport — a Bible to know God and a passport to obey Him. This served both as an inspiration and challenge to us all. From that time, young Filipino students who were becoming believers and disciples every day were inspired to envision themselves as missionaries.”
Jun Escosar
President, Every Nation Seminary
SALVATION TESTIMONY
“In a youth service in 2013, God made me realize that I don’t need to prove myself because He loves me even in my darkest. I surrendered my life to Jesus that day. I serve in the government today knowing that my confidence comes from Him—and all that I do is my worship to Him. I am grateful to witness how He moves mightily in our nation.”
Charls Almodovar
Political Affairs Officer, House of Representatives
CAMPUS CONFERENCE: IGNITE – 2013
“IGNITE 2013 lived up to what we prayed it would do–
that the Holy Spirit would ignite the passion in the hearts of young people as they choose to live for Jesus! These 9,000 students from 22 nations across Asia became preachers of the gospel on their campuses. I had the opportunity to witness growth happen in our campus ministries as I traveled and served in the different cities in our nation. I have encountered students who showed deep convictions in living holy lives for Christ, and by the empowering of the Holy Spirit, they served, led, and demonstrated the power of the gospel to their friends, classmates, and family.”

RUN50 – 2015
“Run50 may have given us lessons about our faith and running the race marked out for us, but to the Real LIFE scholars, it gave them so much hope and the push to persevere, knowing that there are people like Bishop Ferdie who willingly make sacrifices in order for them to finish their education and live better lives. It inspired many to take part in the mission God has given us to help the underprivileged youth of our nation, being His hands and feet to those who really need help.”
Mae Perez
Executive Director, Real LIFE Foundation
SALVATION TESTIMONY
“My neighbor invited me to the youth service in Santa Rosa, but I would always decline. One day, I just got so tired of pleasing others and asked myself, “Why am I doing all this?” I finally said yes to going to church and surrendered my life to Jesus. No matter what people say, I will no longer be shaken because my identity is anchored in Christ.”

EVERY NATION BUILDING 2
“In the last nine years that we have had Every Nation Building 2, the ENLI School of Ministry has been able to train and send out twice the number of campus missionaries, church planters, and cross-cultural missionaries across the Philippines and the world.
The building is a tool that has significantly enhanced our ability to develop leaders and build relationships with one another as we help fulfill the Every Nation mission.”

GOOD NEWS – 2020
“I had slept in all the available rooms and floors [in the hospital] before we came here. This facility was really a blessing for us. We were overwhelmed when we got here. We didn’t need to do anything else but sleep. We were working and sometimes getting stressed, but when we would return here, we would feel at home. I met people from my hospital, including those in other units. We’re like a family here, and we even have an extended family from RMC and Every Nation. We are very thankful.”

100TH CHURCH PLANT – 2019
“We believe that the church is God’s instrument of grace to our world. So every church plant is not only important and valuable, but every church plant is in a real sense God making His love, mercy, and grace known. So the 100th church plant is a milestone for us and an opportunity to make Jesus known in Mabalacat, and eventually, the rest of Pampanga.”
Juray Mora

EVERY NATION PANAMA CHURCH PLANT – 2021
“Bishop Ferdie then told me about an opportunity to reach Central America. A few months later, we were off on an exploration trip to Panama, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico. God spoke to me when we visited the Panama Canal. Reading the sign there— Panama Canal "heart of the universe and bridge to the world", I knew then that the Lord would use Panama as a bridge of the gospel to the world.”
Rico Ricafort
Senior Pastor, Every Nation Panama
AWAKE84 – 2021
“AWAKE84 band was created with the heart and vision to change the campus and change the world through music. We believe that music is one of the ways to reach and shape the next generation for Jesus. In every album or single we produce, it's our joy to see our next generation of worshipers involved in the creative process– from the writing of the songs, to worship leading, recording, production, and editing. We hope that through these songs, Jesus will be made known and that more young people will put their faith in Him.”

EVERY NATION U-BELT BUILDING
“The very reason why we’re here is because of the hundreds of thousands of lives that will be changed by the gospel. We envision a kingdom advancing to every sector and every area of society, starting with the future leaders of this nation. This is a tool for us to see the transformation of our nation and the nations beyond us. This is about the gospel, the kingdom, the Builder who built this.”
Gilbert Foliente
Bishop of Victory Metro Manila
WHY THE CAMPUS – 2024
“I see a future where our campus ministry inspires every generation in our congregation. I envision students radically surrendered to Christ, grounded in Scripture, and boldly sharing the gospel in their communities and culture. Let us work towards making this vision a reality!
May we never get tired of planting, watering, and nurturing the seeds of God's word in their lives. Our actions and testimony today have the power to impact future generations. Let us invest in our faith and share it with others to leave a lasting and positive influence on the world.”
Dave Estrera
Director, Every Nation Campus Metro Manila
FUTURE OF MISSIONS – 2024
“In the next 40 years and beyond, we will continue to plant apostolic churches in every nation as we believe in the promise of God that the nations are our inheritance. We will continue to raise more workers and send them to the harvest field in response to Jesus’ command to go and make disciples to the ends of the earth.”
Rodnel Gascon
Missions Director, Every Nation Philippines
SALVATION TESTIMONY
“I grew up in a culture with many religions and beliefs— indigenous, Buddhism, Christianity, crystals, and mystical energies. I always felt that I was guided, protected, or “lucky” in some way. I was good and had everything. Three years ago, a Filipino missionary engaged me while I was still a university student. He shared the Gospel through the One2One booklet. In the first chapter alone, I realized my sin and need for a Savior. I set aside all the gods or mystical things and simply prayed to Jesus. My eyes were opened to see His mighty works! He transformed me and blessed me with a wonderful spiritual family. I cannot imagine how and what I would be like if He did not find me.”
