Newly-appointed Elijah Challenge Coordinator in Manila witnesses many miraculous healings and trains others

West Malaysia
October 2014

“Greetings from Bukit Rahman Putra. We have just returned from a very exciting time of ministry at Vineyard Church and Word of Life Church in Johor Bahru (West Malaysia). In three days, we had a total of six meetings and services. Many were healed in the mighty name of Jesus. Many elderly with arthritis were healed and walked normally. People with frozen shoulders were healed. They could swing their arms without much effort. One highlight was that a mute had both his ears opened. Then he began to learn how to talk. God is so so good to us. We are always thrilled by the way He moves and blesses all who come by faith!

Another good news is that Rev. Rick Alay is willing to be our Elijah Challenge Coordinator for Manila. Back in 2009, when he first heard Grace and me saying that disciples could heal in the name of Jesus, he was not that sure about the idea. At that time, apart from being the Senior Pastor of FAOGC-(First Assembly Of God Church) in Agono, Rizal, Philippines, he was also the President of Assemblies of God School of Ministry (AGSOM). It was only in 2010, when he invited us to teach The Elijah Challenge in his school that he became thoroughly convinced that the Lord has given His disciples power and authority to heal the infirm and cast out demons in His name. During the seminars in two campuses, Pastor Rick saw firsthand, many spectacular healing miracles among his students – just as the Scriptures has said. He was never the same again.

With great enthusiasm, Pastor Rick began to practice what he had observed and learned. Miracle after miracle became a part of his ministry. He was then invited by his fellow pastors to share The Elijah Challenge in their churches. Even his denomination is asking him to teach The Elijah Challenge in their combined pastoral leadership training. We appointed Pastor Rick as the Coordinator of Manila, because we wanted to encourage him to continue to be the catalyst in challenging many Filipino pastors and their churches in Manila and beyond to step up onto a higher height in their End-time Evangelism, accompanied by great signs and wonders.”
