Praise Report from the Philippines!
Hello dear family, friends, and co-members of the body of Christ!
We are thrilled to share with you an incredible journey that began when I (Julian), having visited in 2018, was once again invited to minister to the amazing congregation of CIF Makati in the vibrant capital city of The Philippines, Manila.
When we received this invitation, I strongly felt the importance of having my beloved wife, Debbie, minister alongside me. So with this shared calling, we embarked on the journey together to Manilla!
This mission held a unique significance, as CIF had faced heart-wrenching losses in the year 2020, including the devastatingburning down of their beloved church building. Lives, including that of the pastor's daughter and mother in law, were tragically lost, leaving behind wounds of grief and sorrow that cut deep into the community's heart.
God's intentions for this mission were multifaceted:
1. Tenderly addressing the wounds left by profound loss, providing comfort to those burdened by grief.
2. To empower and train leaders and the community to operate in the power of the Holy Spirit so their mission could be advanced!
3. To bring renewal and revival to the pastors of IPHC in the Philippines.
4. To provide unwavering support to CIF in their goal to plant 50 churches in the coming years.
5. To see the five fold ministry fully operate again within the Philippines.
Contained within the following pages is a vivid account of the awe-inspiring events and transformative encounters that unfolded during this mission.
These narratives bear testament to God's unyielding faithfulness and serve as a tribute to the unbreakable spirit of CIF Makati.
I am delighted to declare that the comprehensive mission we embarked upon has been undeniably fulfilled as you will read below.
However, since this mission was only partially funded, we'd like to make a heartfelt appeal (at the end of this report) for your assistance in covering this mission.
We are deeply grateful for the support received thus far. With your continued help, we can keep doing the work that God has assigned us to do.
Now, we invite you to delve into the report below and witness all the mighty things the Lord has accomplished!
With sincere gratitude and boundless anticipation,
Julian & Debbie Beek
Day 1 - Thursday 20 July
Healing On The Airplane
Debbie, and I were traveling from Dubai to Manila. On that flight, something extraordinary happened!
We sat next to this guy named Stephen from South Africa, and during our conversation, we felt this strong sense that God had given us insight into some physical injuries he was dealing with.
Stephen mentioned this incredibly painful thing in his chest that had stumped the doctors.
But here's the thing - we were so confident in God's healing power that Julian, just knew we had to pray for him right then and there.
As Julian prayed, there was this tangible warmth filling Stephen's chest, and the pain, started to diminish and shift to another part of his body!
We knew we were onto something powerful, so we boldly commanded any spirit of infirmity to leave. Stephen was completely healed right after this! It was 100% gone!
So we prayed for his knee too, which had been bothering him and he received instant healing! Stephen was just blown away!
Stephen couldn't believe what had happened, and we were overjoyed to witness such a miraculous encounter.
In his daily life he is a car mechanic so this was a very much needed intervention from God.
Ministering To City Officials
As soon as we arrived, we headed straight to the Thursday Cellgroup meeting which was also attended by city officials.
They were actually celebrating Dennis' birthday, and it was the perfect chance for us to share the gospel. So, after a short message about being born again, we prophesied over and encouraged the city officials.
They were genuinely inspired and encouraged by our words.
It's incredible how God can use even the smallest moments to touch people's lives. We're so thankful to have been part of this wonderful encounter.

Day 2 - Friday 21 July
God's Power To Heal Revealed
On The Healing Night
Watch Introduction + Healing Service Part 1
Watch Healing Service Part 2
"Last Friday was an absolute marvel – a truly incredible experience that left us in awe of the miracles that unfolded.”
During the healing service, we witnessed something truly extraordinary. There was this brave mother of 8 children who had been battling cancer in her ovaries and leg.
After receiving prayer, she experienced a miraculous healing! She was able to walk again, and testified how deep she was touched by Gods love and His power. The next days she felt enabled to go to work again.
But that's not all - the miracles kept coming. Another person who had been struggling with a debilitating arm injury was also healed. It was like a chain reaction of God's healing touch, and more and more people were experiencing miraculous recoveries.
The atmosphere was charged with faith and expectation, and the church came together in fervent prayers for each other's healing. It was so beautiful to see everyone supporting and encouraging one another.
And you know what touched me the most? It wasn't just physical healing that happened that day. God's love reached deep into the hearts of the people, bringing about profound emotional healing.
Those who had suffered the pain of losing loved ones or had broken relationships found solace and restoration in the embrace of God's love. It was like a balm to their wounded souls.
The entire night was filled with awe and gratitude as testimonies of healing kept pouring in even after the gathering. Friends, families, and neighbors were sharing their own stories of miraculous healing, and it was simply amazing.
