PMCC 4th Watch Commemorates a Milestone Event that Stirred Revival Across the World
MARIKINA CITY, PHILIPPINES — April 28, 2025 — The Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) solemnly celebrated the 5th Anniversary of the Home Free Global Crusade (HFGC) on April 27, 2025, held at the Marikina Sports Complex. This momentous occasion marked the culmination of the “Rebirth in Christ Tour” and brought together hundreds of thousands of believers on-site and online from over 150 countries.
The event, under the anointed leadership of Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol, highlighted five years of remarkable spiritual harvest and transformative evangelism, with over 600,000 souls brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
A Night of Spiritual Awakening and Global Worship
With the theme, “Rebirth in Christ: Chains Breaking, Lives Reborn,” the anniversary celebration bore witness to the outpouring of God’s Spirit through fervent worship, multicultural praise, and powerful testimonies of deliverance and new life in Christ.
From vibrant African drumming and inspiring Filipino gospel choirs to deeply moving stories of redemption, the night reflected the universal call and response to the Gospel.
Broadcast live and mirrored in thousands of watch parties across global cities such as Los Angeles, São Paulo, Lagos, and London, the event became a sacred altar of united worship and repentance.
The Proclamation of the Word
Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol delivered a stirring message entitled “End Your Wandering: The Unstoppable Love of Christ,” drawing from Luke 15:4–7. He declared:
“We are a generation that has wandered far, but Jesus Christ has searched the world to find you. Tonight, you are no longer lost. You are a sheep found by the Good Shepherd.”
His message, rich in biblical truth and evangelistic compassion, moved both the local and global audience to respond. In Marikina alone, over 600 individuals stepped forward to receive Jesus Christ. Thousands more responded to the call virtually from across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
Five Years of Evangelistic Innovation
Launched in 2020 during the global pandemic, the Home Free Global Crusade has grown into one of the most significant digital evangelistic efforts of our time. Through its hybrid model—integrating in-person crusades with high-quality digital broadcasts—it has brought the Gospel to both urban centers and remote regions with equal fervor.
