Philippines
Ablaze – The Nations
by Bro Weng Ern

I have been gathering photos and videos in Unreached people groups from various South East Asian countries to be used for mobilization among the Filipino churches – and beyond. This year I was supposed to film in 5 nations, but plans were disrupted due to the pandemic. 

Since quarantine started, I have designed a missions media coaching (photography and videography) course for frontline workers (missionaries). This course is tailored to each individual’s skill level and needs in the field with individual coaching for each worker.  In partnership with various Philippines national offices and international mission agencies, I have trained over 50 workers serving in more than 10 nations. The trainees have shared wonderful testimonies of how this have helped them in missions and mobilization. 

I have also been providing consultation and assistance to local churches on how to set-up a budget multi-cam broadcast system for their services using just smartphones as video capture device. 

The Ablaze local team is currently in the midst of releasing mobilization “photo series” on FB, do look out for it on our page. I have also started online missions consultation, for young adults who have a heart for missions and want to ask for more information on where to start, we might resume our face-to-face consultation by November if situation permits. 

Through the Ablaze media mobilization work, we have managed to raise up a handful of young adults who are committed to seeing the Gospel being carried to the places where Christianity does not exist. 

Your partnership through prayer and giving has enabled me to work in the Philippines, mobilizing missionaries that will carry the hope of Christ to the forgotten 4.5 billion people that still remain without believers among them.  

Please pray as I seek the Lord for wisdom on how to mobilize the church to be involved with missions during this challenging pandemic time, as international borders are mostly closed. Pray too for finance partnership, as missions media work is costly. 

Our impact together is in the Philippines and beyond, in multiple unreached people groups, as workers get sent forth as a result of our mobilization. I pray that God will bless you richly in every way as you invest into the expansion of His Kingdom globally.   

Thanks for partnering and journeying with me!
