For an entire month, sixty American students shared the Gospel in every way imaginable — street dramas, open-air campus meetings, video presentations, one-on-one conversations, and nightly meetings in the basement of the dilapidated Tandem Cinema on Recto Avenue.

On one particular afternoon thousands of students marched past us down to the president’s palace for their daily protest rally. On that day the riot police began getting aggressive, which precipitated a stampede in the opposite direction. I remember standing outside among the surging flood of students, pointing down the stairway and shouting, “It’s safe in here!” That was, perhaps, the most quickly assembled crowd in the history of modern campus ministries, another opportunity to share the Gospel with 400 student protesters.

Deborah and I stayed on for another month to disciple new believers. Twenty-six years later, we’re still there, though for the last three years we have split our time between Manila, Nashville, and many nations of the world, speaking as president of Every Nation Ministries.

From those first 165 U-Belt students who gave their lives to Christ have come thousands of missionaries, business leaders, political leaders, and campus ministers. Now there are over 40,000 Filipinos in over 4,000 discipleship groups in Manila. Every Nation missionaries have established forty new churches in the provinces of the Philippines. Hundreds of Filipinos missionaries and church planters have been sent throughout Southeast Asia.

If you’ve ever wondered why Every Nation Ministries is so focused on reaching college students, this is best reason I know.”
