God’s Love: A Refuge at All Times
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” These words from Psalm 46:1 have echoed through time, a testament to God’s faithfulness as a promise-keeper. His presence continues to offer comfort and hope in suffering.
It was a privilege to serve as His hands and feet by reaching out to the vulnerable residents of Kanlungan sa Pasig on October 5, 2024.
This facility provides shelter and support to children, women, the elderly, adults, teen moms, and victims of violence and abuse. It offers temporary residential care, diagnostic services, basic social services, and quality healthcare.
We were blessed to engage with the shelter residents, offering encouragement, prayer, and a listening ear.
These meaningful conversations paved the way for us to preach the gospel—the good news about Christ’s love that is available to all, regardless of the circumstance. This love welcomes those who place their faith in Christ to an eternal hope and a secure home forever.
Currently, Kanlungan sa Pasig is home to 149 individuals: 48 Children with Conflict with the Law (11-18+ years old), 80 Children in Need of Special Protection (0-18+ years old), and 21 Adults and Elderly (20-89 years old).
Let us continue to pray for them and trust in God’s power to nurture the seeds we have sown. We look forward to serving with more volunteers in our next outreach in December.
May we all remain vessels of God’s refuge and strength, a present help that endures in and out of troubles—through all of life’s seasons.
The Joy of Christ’s Salvation
A team of volunteers had a desire to serve the residents of Camarin, North Caloocan—and this birthed from a simple prayer of sharing joy by giving better smiles to the community.
Just this September, the team partnered with dentists and held a dental mission for the community. They were stationed at the counseling stop where patients had to be before being treated. By God’s grace, the team listened, encouraged, prayed, and preached the gospel to 138 patients, face-to-face and one-on-one.
They were also able to pray for and encourage some of the dentists who served alongside them who did not yet have a relationship with Jesus.
Praise God for this privilege of proclaiming Him and comforting others through listening and prayer! These are some testimonies from the dental mission:
An elderly man with a speech disorder found hope and confidence in Christ after one of our team members prayed for him. It was the first time in his 62 years that someone had prayed for him.
A teenager who was longing for her parents’ presence and care received Christ’s perfect love for the first time. This perfect love casts all her fears now through one of the volunteers who shared a word of encouragement with her.
A married woman found her greatest love in the Lord when she heard the gospel, and many others found the greatest joy in Christ’s salvation.
As a church, whatever way or platform it may be, may everything we do to serve the community lead us back to God’s Great Commission for us: to go and make disciples of all nations wherever we may be. And it starts with preaching the gospel—the good news that brings true and lasting joy.

Floodwaters of Grace
Our God is a God who can turn tragedies into stories of redemption.
After nearly a month of devastation caused by Super Typhoon Carina, our nation is slowly recovering. Yet, amidst the rebuilding, we remember how the flood of God’s grace poured into the hearts of our communities, even as the floodwaters filled their homes.
Two days after the flood receded, affected families in a town in San Pedro returned to their homes to face the challenge of cleaning up. One volunteer from Victory San Pedro teamed up with a couple from Victory Alabang to serve their neighborhood and offer prayers during the cleanup. Pastor Rein to join them in ministering to the people. The small team was driven by a heart to bless the community and share God’s love.
They went door-to-door, offering assistance wherever needed. Little did they know that this would become an open door for God to touch hearts and invite people into a relationship with Him. On each visit, they asked about each family’s well-being. While no casualties were in their midst, the calamity brought fear and despair. The team heard stories of great fear as the floodwaters rapidly rose, an unprecedented event for the community.
The team encouraged the residents and reminded them of God’s protection for their families. These conversations led to a revelation of who Christ is and what He has done -His work on the cross covers and preserves; but more than anything, Christ has provided a solution for all eternity, giving us eternal hope.
From one family hearing the good news of the gospel, filled with great joy, word spread quickly, and soon, neighbors from across the street requested prayers as well. Around 12 families received prayer and ministry, and much later, people from the community flocked the streets and opened their hearts to receive God’s love in their midst.
It was undeniable that there was an outpouring of God’s spirit, a flood of grace that surpassed any physical floodwaters. The same hunger for Jesus was evident from one street to another.
Although the floodwaters invaded their homes, the overwhelming flood of God’s grace poured into their hearts at that very moment.
Please continue to pray for our teams in Alabang and San Pedro as they continually support the rebuilding — not just of homes but lives that are touched and transformed by Christ.

Victory Conference
Last June 27 and 28, our church family joyfully gathered at the SM MOA Arena for the Victory Conference. Distance couldn’t keep nearly 30,000 people from across the nation from coming together to celebrate the goodness and faithfulness of God.
We were truly blessed to witness a heartfelt reunion of friends and families, all united with one purpose—to worship Jesus.
How we started: Mission Field
From our leaky basement beginnings in the Tandem Cinema in 1984, Victory has held on to the same and ultimate purpose of making no other name known—Jesus.
Now, forty years later, our founding pastor, Pastor Steve Murrell, stood before the church, with gratitude for God’s unfailing love and faithfulness. He shared the timeless message that has led thousands to the saving knowledge and audacious love of God. Joining him was his son, Dr. William Murrell, who inspired us to embrace God’s call to be witnesses, guided by the power and leading of the Holy Spirit.
Together, they reminded us of the beautiful journey we are on and the incredible future God has in store for His people.
“With all the sacrifices of the world combined, the ultimate sacrifice is what the Father did when He sent His Son to come, to live, and to die for us.”
— Pastor Steve Murrell (Founder, Victory)
“To embrace God’s call to be a witness, we need a Bible, a submitted life, and a passport.”
— Dr. William Murrell (Dean of Academics, Every Nation Seminary)
Pastor Dennis Sy also joined in our celebration, inspiring and empowering us all. He passionately urged everyone to proclaim the gospel—the only good news that will matter for eternity.
“The mission field is hungry for an encounter that will change their lives. Are you ready to be His mission force?”
– Pastor Dennis Sy (Senior Pastor, Victory Makati)
The excitement and anticipation continued into the second day of the conference. It was a sight to see more students come with passionate hearts and eagerness to encounter God.
Even as our call to preach about Jesus has remained steadfast, it’s never been without obstacles. Despite the hardships of carrying our cross, Pastor Mye Nunag encouraged us to persist in our calling, no matter how challenging, as long as Jesus is preached. Bishop Gilbert Foliente reinforced this message, reminding us that nothing else can truly transform the world like the gospel.
“Would it be enough for us to remain unnamed as long as Jesus is proclaimed?”
— Pastor Mye Nunag (Lead Pastor, Victory U-Belt)
“The gospel is the highest hope of the world. Only the gospel has the power to bring true and lasting transformation.”
— Bishop Gilbert Foliente (Bishop, Victory Metro Manila)
The Campus Run was brimming with young students whose hearts burned passionately for Jesus. It was a vivid picture of the hope and faith we hold for the next generation. With hands and voices lifted in worship, these students responded to His call to be salt and light across over 1,500 campuses they represent.
Pastor Dave Estrera, Pastor Rico Ricafort, and Elle Cabiling Tumaliuan made the final run a Spirit-filled encounter for our students. They preached on the transformative power of the gospel and emphasized how working together with our spiritual family makes us unstoppable.
God’s call to make disciples and pass it on to the next generation resonated clearly, a message the students will carry back to their homes and campuses.
“There is no greater cause that has an eternal impact than preaching the gospel and making disciples.”
— Pastor Dave Estrera (Executive Director for Every Nation Campus, Victory Metro Manila)
“Let your generation be so in love with the word of God that you will meditate on it, speak it, and live by it.”
– Elle Cabiling Tumaliuan (Campus Missionary, Victory Katipunan)
“We’re going to turn the world upside down by preaching the gospel together.”
— Pastor Rico Ricafort (Senior Pastor, Every Nation Panama)
How we can keep going: Mission Force
This conference reignited our passion to reach the lost — for future generations to hear the victory that Christ has won over sin and death, with His grace empowering us to live according to His purpose.
Thank you to over 1,000 volunteers who have served selflessly and wholeheartedly so that the next generation will know about Jesus.
As we continue to thank God for His faithfulness in the past forty years, we remember that every victory has been given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57)
May the Holy Spirit empower us to press on and become His mission force.
Together, let’s change the campus and change the world for the next 40 years and beyond.
What’s your #CelebratingVictories highlight for this conference?
Making disciples in every city: New Victory locations to check out
Whether in a hot, leaky basement or an air-conditioned hall, God’s faithfulness never wavered—not even once. As we obey His call to go and make disciples in every city, He has never failed to open hearts and change lives.
We thank Him for establishing us in new locations across the nation to bring the gospel to more campuses and communities.
We hope that our church community can be a home and place where you can grow in your faith.

New Series: From Mission Field to Mission Force
We often hear the saying, “There is no growth in comfort,” and we took this to heart from the beginning. We were once recipients of a short-term mission outreach in Manila. If we stayed with a mission-field mentality, we would never become the mission force we are today.
As God empowers us to carry out His mission, let us step out of our comfort zone into the unknown by faith.
May we press on with the same passion, pursue His call to make disciples, and be His mission force for the next 40 years and beyond.
Join us in the next four weeks as we go through these:
Week 1: The Motive—Honor God
Week 2: The Mandate—Make disciples
Week 3: The Manifesto—Change the campus. Change the world.
Week 4: The Mission—Every Nation

New Series: Walk With Me
During Jesus’ time on earth, He walked with His disciples, involving them in His life and ministry.
This series will explore stories where Jesus exemplified how we are to journey together through the highs, lows, and everything in between as His church while glorifying God and carrying out His mission.
Let’s journey through this series together, and ask God for wisdom and softened hearts as we respond to His word.
Week 1: Follow Him together
Week 2: Life Together
Week 3: On Mission Together
Just like the African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”
Don’t walk alone.

Set Apart—Together
For the past 5 days, we’ve come together for our annual Prayer, Fasting, and Consecration week.
As a church, we pondered upon the heart of God’s holiness, and this is the great news—we are already made righteous through Christ’s sacrifice.
On that cross, He cleansed us in His righteousness, washing away all our sins. This is the grace that made us from crimson red to as white as snow; the grace that makes us holy now and allows us to have full communion with our Abba Father.
As we carry this good news into each day of 2024, let the burden of striving for holiness fall away. But rather, may we always call to mind that being holy is being set apart for Christ and being clothed in Him “who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
May God’s call to holiness not become a daunting task but a warm invitation. He is calling us, His dear children, to walk this journey of holiness, together.
We are never alone in this walk, and we will never be. From every corner of the earth, our spiritual family surrounds us—and may this truth be like a warm embrace and spark of hope against and amidst the darkness.
Blessings be upon you and your loved ones as we walk through this year, hearts brimming with God’s holy presence. May we have a faith-filled, set-apart year ahead!

2023: A Year of Miracles

6,105 people gave their life to Christ and were baptized
26 new churches were planted across the nation
975 campuses opened their doors for the gospel
Over 20 communities and 70 campuses in Metro Manila experienced God’s love as we partnered with school administrators and local government units
1,475 Real LIFE scholars faced the future with hope, and 164 graduated this year
196 missionaries were sent to preach the gospel to 35 nations, and 19 Ten Days teams were sent to 12 nations
109 ministers (pastors, cross cultural and campus missionaries) were commissioned to bring the gospel to the campuses, cities, and nations
95 pastors and leaders from 35 nations came together at the Every Nation building for the residential intensives of the Every Nation Seminary

The Joy of Serving
Every year, we take time to recount the stories of changed lives, communities served, campuses reached, and the miracles we experienced as a church.
As we do this, we also take time to honor and celebrate our small group leaders and ministry volunteers across our local centers in the Philippines.
We had a time of fun and fellowship where we thanked each church member who contributed to running our worship services and helped us build our local churches.
If you are a leader, a volunteer, or anyone who has helped our church grow this year in whatever way, we sincerely thank you for your service.
The details of your work may not be fully seen by the eyes of men, but we want to assure you that the God we serve is a Rewarder, and your reward in heaven is full.
Thank you for keeping your most important and esteemed audience, your audience of One—Jesus, our Greatest Reward.
May you be blessed abundantly, and may a thousandfold of what you give be returned to you by His grace. Your gifts are a blessing to many and have helped people come to know Christ more!

As one family, we sought God in prayer and declared to make Him known.
We believe that God works miracles today by the power of the Holy Spirit to bless people and advance his kingdom.
We prayed for the nation.
We stood in faith and asked God’s provision upon our economy. We also prayed for the upcoming barangay elections in October. May there be godly leaders equipped to serve and lead our nation.
We prayed for the church.
We made a commitment to God to share His gospel and live it out.
We prayed for the next generation.
We asked for open doors on the campuses so we can reach future leaders. May they find their purpose, meaning, and hope in Christ.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
