Home Free Global Crusade Bacolod Delivers Powerful Message: “Hide No More”

The highlight of the evening came as Global Evangelist Jonathan Ferriol delivered a powerful Gospel message centered on the theme “Hide No More.”

He opened by addressing the reality of “masks” in today’s generation how social media, digital editing, and modern culture often encourage people to project curated versions of themselves while hiding their true emotions, struggles, and inner pain.

Evangelist Ferriol emphasized that masking is not only emotional or cultural but also spiritual. Citing II Corinthians 11:14–15, he explained that deception is one of the enemy’s strategies, disguising truth and leading people away from God.

Central to his message was the declaration that salvation is found in Christ alone. He stressed that spiritual masks prevent people from fully seeing, receiving, and experiencing God’s saving grace.

He reminded the congregation that although human weakness is real, true strength is found only in Jesus Christ, who empowers believers to overcome sin, temptation, and brokenness.

He further underscored that no mask can hide anyone from God.

“Perhaps, you are wearing a mask to hide your hurts, fears, failures, and disappointments. You are hiding them because you are afraid that no one will understand you or no one will accept you. But you can put away your masks, and you can come to Christ without any pretension or disguise.”
— Global Evangelist Jonathan Ferriol

In his closing appeal, Evangelist Ferriol urged the audience to genuinely repent, remove every spiritual disguise, and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

He concluded with a solemn reminder:

“There is a hell to pay but there is a heaven to gain if you will repent from your sins and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior and if you will be washed from your sins.”
— Global Evangelist Jonathan Ferriol

2,000 Souls Respond at Home Free Global Crusade Bacolod

Following the message, a powerful response filled the center of the gymnasium as approximately 2,000 individuals came forward to publicly declare their decision to receive Jesus Christ.

In a moving atmosphere of prayer and repentance, Global Evangelist Jonathan Ferriol, together with Presbyter Dondon Tolero, who ministered in Ilonggo, led the crowd in a heartfelt prayer of acceptance.

The moment marked a significant spiritual turning point for many as they openly professed their faith, surrendered their lives to Christ, and embraced a new beginning in Him.

As the Gospel was proclaimed openly, many also made their decision openly taking a bold stand for their faith and receiving the gift of salvation.
