The World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) has over 650 million members worldwide. Bishop Ef Tendero talks about how unity thrusts Christians out to take part in the end-time harvest. Because of this growth via evangelism, the global Church continues to grow throughout the nations.
Bishop Efraim Tendero says that when it comes to social concern and direct evangelistic efforts, the call is not an either/or opportunity. There must be a balance: caring for the physical aspects of humankind’s needs and addressing the spiritual need of every soul. The example of Jesus is the holistic example we must follow.
You might be wondering if the Church is actually expanding throughout the world. Bishop Ef Tendero talks about the five reasons for the growth of the evangelical Church worldwide. He encourages you to live a catalytic lifestyle in the midst of this growth.
Bishop Efraim Tendero provides Biblical reasons why every believer is called to use their gifts and talents to glorify God throughout the world. The missionary task force is not only made up elite Christians. In fact, every citizen in God’s Kingdom is significant.
The Philippines situates on the Southeastern tip of the 10/40 Window, poised as a door handle to unreached people groups. Bishop Efraim Tendero says that there are three ways that God uses Filipinos as missional agents to the Gospel-deprived: The acceptability, accessibility, and adaptability of the Filipino people. Because of the unique history of the Philippine archipelago, the people easily adjust to every environment. Let’s pray that God would continue to call Filipinos into the Great Commission task.
