First Love International website:firstloveinternational.com First Love International is... ... an interdenominational mission agency founded for the purpose of bringing the life-giving message of salvation through Jesus Christ to un-reached people residing in impoverished regions of the world. Our Method Exhortation ... Calling believers back to their First Love… (Rev. 2:1-5) Realizing that Satan is at work seeking to occupy our minds, lives, and hearts with items of secondary importance, our desire is to be used of the Holy Spirit to call believers back to their first love for God and to His priority of loving people into the Kingdom of His Son. (Matthew 22:36-40 & 23:11) Evangelization ... Introducing the lost to the One who loved them first… (I John 4:19) Firmly believing that Jesus Christ is returning soon, our passion is to see people come to know Him as Savior and Lord. Therefore, a bottom-line priority ministry of First Love is to be actively engaged in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who are lost in the darkness of sin. Our evangelistic strategies and methods are patterned after those of the Apostle Paul who said: Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. (I Cor. 9:19 & 22) Education ... Teaching them to obey all that Jesus has commanded us… (Matthew 28:19-20) Through the power of the Holy Spirit seeking to motivate, mentor, edify, and train disciples of Jesus Christ for the purpose of making them fruitful participants in Christ’s Great Commission as active members of the harvest force.

Linda and I have now been in the Philippines for over a week and we still have another week to go. We will be hosting a special First Love Philippines Team Thanksgiving Dinner tonight (Monday) and will also be meeting with several of our missionaries and Filipino National workers throughout this week. I am also speaking at a graduation event for Pastors who have been attending a Bible College degree program which First Love has been coordinating for the past 2 years on the island of Boracay.
