FRON NATIONAL PASTORS

Pastor Mislan is supportive of local pastor's ministries here in Zambales. He is always willing to help and give advise to church problems of local churches and pastors. His counsels are biblically based and he does not compromise or tolerate members who are behaving outside of God's will. He has also provided financial support to students from other churches particularly helping them in their transportation expenses... My observations regarding the members of his church during their inter-church fellowship and sports activities, is that they are more disciplined. We see no compromising behavior in them and their church discipline and spiritual maturity were evident. Thus other churches give them their due respect and high regard. The ministry of Pastor Mislan has been a blessing to a lot of churches and local pastors here in Zambales. Our prayer is that the Lord will continually bless his ministry... Bro.

Pastor Mike Mislan is a friend of mine. I personally meet him in San Marcelino Baptist Church which is located along the highway of San Marcelino Hospital where I and my schoolmates are studying on his FREE Bible Seminary. He is a dedicated and loving man whose heart is to win soul's for Christ, bring them into God's Kingdom, and to disciple them in order to bear them fruits, and to plant a church that many Filipino People might known a Savior. He also led his church to encouarge me with a surprise gift package. My message to Pastor Mike Mislan; for those who reading this.. he is a good man, A husband of one wife, a lover of the flock, a good husband and a good father to sis two sons.... Right now I am on my Second Year of my study in Pastoral Theology and am learning a lot of lessons and biblical principles from his FREE Bible Seminary. He is very very strict in terms of standards, teaching and discipline, because He wants us to meet the high standards and principles of the Bible. - Pastor Larry Dimaandal, Resident pastor, Christian Baptist Tabernacle,#0420 Guttires St. Calapacuan, Subic,Zambales, Philippines 2209, e-mail address: larry_dimaandal2001@yahoo.com, Contact number: +639-26247-4223

Missionary Mike has been a help to us at the Linusungan Baptist Church. He has befriended our last three pastors, preached from our pulpit, helped us with Sunday School materials and flannel graphs, led his church to help us finance our church ceiling, and is now helping us with needed advice to strengthen our church and to find a needed pastor. And when we asked him to help us conduct a Bible study when one of our members died, he mentioned that any fruit that came as a result, would not be his, but would be ours to disciple. We think he is an ethical missionary and are thankful that we have an American missionary who we can trust. -Pulpit Committee, Linusungan Baptist Church

Thank you for the help & efforts. I know you have made some sacrifices just to extend a hand to me a fellow laborer in the Lords vineyard, especially in the most trying time of my life and ministry when nobody seems to care and not even one among the fellow pastors in the Zambales came to offer their support. Thank you for the friendship you had shown me and the brotherly counsels, for I was indeed encouraged to continue doing the Lord's work - a Pastor friend in Olongapo City.

Thank You.. -Church planter, Jun Manuel in Bangladesh.

Mike Mislan was with us on our 27th Church Anniversary last March 25, 1984. He amazed me with the questions that he asked regarding the work in Cebu City and throughout the Philippines. I gleaned from talking with him of his love to reach the Filipino people with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I surely would be happy to see him fulfill his desire for the Lord in being able to minister to the people of my country. -Dr. ARMIE F. JESALVA, Pastor, Bible Baptist Church, Cebu City.

Missionary Mike Mislan has always been a friend who has encouraged me in the ministry. He visits my home, helps me with needed advices, and has helped my church by scheduling the Ambassadors for Christ to do an evangelistic campaign. Even though my church is in a neighboring barangay, he has never went after my members, but instead, is genuinely interested in helping me as a pastor. Thanks you for being a good friend, an American missionary I can trust. -National Pastor Bernard Ruelo, International Baptist Church, Nagbunga, San Marcelino.
