THE JESUS MIRACLE CRUSADE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY

The JESUS Miracle Crusade International Ministry (JMCIM) is one of the largest and most successful apostolic churches based in the Philippines with millions of followers nationwide and still growing. JMCIM is led by internationally known pastor and end-time prophet of God, beloved and honorable Evangelist Wilde E. Almeda, and his loving wife, beloved and honorable Assistant Pastor Lina C. Almeda.

JMCIM now has numerous outreach stations all over the Philippines and an outreach station in the United States has also been officially established.

Matthew 17:20-21 "... nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."

The fast growing number of JMCIM churchgoers is being attributed to the seemingly endless days of fasting and fervent prayers of beloved Evangelist Almeda who is always on his knees offering thanksgiving and supplication to GOD. Multitudes of JMCIM members will testify to the innumerable miracles they witnessed in their own lives due largely by the obedience and sacrifices made by the beloved pastor.

In the worst of times when the immorality of man has equaled that of beasts, and spirituality has been reduced to confusion by the craftiness of Satan; when man's inventions and technological achievements threaten himself to extinction, and the universe ushers into self-destruction; when all attempts to stop criminality and war have failed, and when every knowledge of GOD is supposed as a vain escape from reality by the foolest of fools; through it all, the true Church of the Living God has come out triumphant! The LORD GOD has given full authority to His Church to overcome all the power of darkness — hope still shines after all!

Matthew 16:18 "... upon this rock I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

It would be utterly impossible to put into writing all the wonderful works the great GOD has wrought His Church, the JESUS Church, through its spiritual arm, the JESUS MIRACLE CRUSADE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY. Here is just a very small bit of a vast, colorful whole.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Hailing from the province of Surigao Sur, the divine call to God's service came to a young man named WILDE E. ALMEDA, with newly wedded wife, LINA, in the late 1960s. Later to rise as the Philippines' leading Evangelist-Pastor, Wilde (pronounced as "Weeldee") was then afflicted with an acute insomnia owing to years of hard work in political campaigning for power and fortune. The JESUS Church anniversary celebration on 1978 at the YMCA Manila. Hopeless through medical cure, the menacing disease caused him to be suicidal, until one day, a Christian shared to him the Word of GOD. He gave his heart to JESUS and instantly got healed of the curse he suffered for 6 long years. He then realized that the Gospel is true and that GOD answers prayer. From a former religious fanatic, womanizer and gambler, he was converted to true Christianity, and completely gave up his life of sin.

In obedience to GOD's call, the young couple started to embark on a spiritual journey, leaving behind their affluent political life which promised more wealth and social status, and gave up even all their source of livelihood — the gold and silver mining business, acres of fish pond and coconut plantation — which would have soon earned millions of money daily, choosing rather to follow the footsteps of the LORD JESUS in living an austere life, fully consecrated and dedicated to GOD

PRICE TO PAY

The faithful couple was blessed with 12 lovely children endowed with exceptional talents especially in Gospel music — Rachel, Annaliza, Leah, Divine Grace, Wilde James, Esther, Faith, Joy, Rebecca, Ruth, Elizabeth, and Charity Anne. But two of their precious siblings, Divine Grace and Rebecca, went to be with the LORD. A very grievous part in more than fifteen years of difficult testing and trials, reminiscent of Job's experience. Through persecutions, financial want, worldly temptations, threat of sickness, starvation and even death, they remained steadfast in faith and never compromised the Truth. The hand of GOD was mightily guiding them through spiritual battles, arming them with weapons needed to gain the victory: steadfast prayer with praise and worship of 14 hours or more daily, continual study and meditation on the Holy Scriptures, kneeling hours on end interceding for the Church and for the salvation of the lost, constant fasts reaching 40 and even up to 93 days, repeated through the years (let alone the daily fasts when longer fasts were broken), and holding evangelistic crusades. They completely depended on faith for GOD to supply all the needs of GOD's work, never begging for financial support from any person or institution.
