Meet Pastor Jesse

This month, we’d like to introduce you to a dear faithful brother from the Philippines, Pastor Jesse Reguero. Watch his testimony of God’s faithfulness and TMAI’s impact on his preaching.

The Lord saved Pastor Jesse out of a drug addiction, after someone shared the gospel with him and he surrendered his life to Christ. The day that he was saved, Jesse prayed that he would live for the Lord for the rest of his days. He began going to church and involved himself in all the ministries he could. Jesse felt an emerging desire to preach but didn’t know how to do that. One day, a bible study leader was unable to come lead so Jesse stepped up and shared God’s Word. After that, he had positive feedback that he had a call to preach.

When TMAI came along, he was one of the first pastors to join. Despite some health and family challenges, he persevered and is on track to graduate with the second class in the spring of 2023. Through TMAI, Pastor Jesse learned how to deeply and accurately study the Bible. He encourages the coming generation to make studying the Word a priority.

Prayer Requests

  • Please pray for pastor Jesse and the other pastors in Cebu to complete the last two modules and graduate in the spring.

  • Pray also for my preparations for my trip to the Philippines. I am planning to travel to the Philippines from 09/24 to 10/24 to do training at CDO and Cebu, as well as a refresher course for the graduates in Davao. I will also be visiting partner churches in Baguio and Manila.

  • Pray that I am able to get a visa to travel to Myanmar in November
