BATANGAS CITY, BATANGAS — Much like the woman who reached for the hem of Jesus’ garment in unwavering faith, thousands of Batangueños stepped forward to profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior during the seventh leg of the Home Free Global Crusade Batangas.
Centered on hope, healing, and deliverance, the gathering brought together individuals from various parts of the province for an evening marked by worship, spiritual renewal, and a life-changing encounter with God.

The crusade commenced with an energetic modern dance presentation by the Proverbs Dance Company, composed of young Watchers from the Eastern and Western Batangas Districts. Their dynamic performance created an atmosphere of joy and expectation as attendees prepared for the evening’s spiritual gathering.
Guests were also treated to a remarkable cultural presentation by the Batangas Cultural Dancers, whose performance showcased the province’s rich heritage and enduring traditions. Through music and movement, they celebrated the identity and spirit of the Batangueño people.
The atmosphere soon shifted into worship as Pastor Sammy Bagcat ministered through inspiring worship songs that led the congregation into moments of heartfelt praise and devotion.
Pastor Tiffany Mongcal, Head Pastor of the PMCC (4th Watch) Lipa Locale, formally opened the crusade through an invocation, praying for every attendee to experience God’s presence and transforming power throughout the event.
Worship continued through artistic expression as the Christ Up Movers, the official dance group of the Home Free Global Crusade, delivered an exhilarating performance that reflected praise and adoration to God.
One of the evening’s most anticipated moments followed as the Home Free Global Crusade Praise and Worship Team, together with the Batangas District Choir, led thousands of worshippers in songs of praise. As voices united in worship, the venue resonated with faith, expectancy, and collective devotion.
Home Free Global Crusade Batangas Delivers a Message of Healing Through Faith
Before the preaching of God’s Word, Presbyter Dante Abainza, Eastern Batangas District Coordinator, formally introduced the keynote speaker, Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol.
The highlight of the evening was the message entitled “Healing Touch,” based on Luke 8:43–48, the account of the woman who suffered from bleeding for twelve years and believed that touching the hem of Jesus’ garment would bring her healing.
Drawing parallels between the biblical narrative and the realities faced by many today, Evangelist Jonathan emphasized that people often encounter discouragement, fear, and feelings of unworthiness that hinder them from seeking Christ. Yet, like the woman who pressed through the crowd despite years of suffering, faith calls believers to pursue Jesus despite life’s obstacles.
During his message, he shared:
“Ang isa sa pinakamahirap na maaaring gawin ng isang tao ay lumapit kay Hesus.”
(“One of the most difficult things a person can do is to come to Jesus.”)
He further underscored that many individuals mistakenly believe they must first overcome their flaws and failures before approaching God.
However, he reminded the congregation that divine acceptance is not earned through human effort.
“You do not need to fix yourself first for God to accept you. You need to accept Him first, and He will begin the work of restoration within your life.”
The message encouraged attendees to trust in God’s grace and experience the healing and restoration that come through faith in Jesus Christ.
Thousands Respond During the Home Free Global Crusade Batangas Altar Call
As the message concluded, Evangelist Jonathan extended an invitation for attendees to respond to God’s call through faith, repentance, and baptism.
He emphasized three essential responses:
- Believe in Jesus Christ through genuine faith.
- Repent from sin as a decision that signifies spiritual transformation.
- Be baptized as a public declaration of obedience and new life in Christ.
The message moved thousands to step forward during the altar call, publicly professing their faith and committing their lives to Jesus Christ.
The overwhelming response reflected the spiritual hunger among attendees and demonstrated the continuing impact of the Gospel throughout Batangas Province.
Home Free Global Crusade Batangas Records 4,860 Salvation Responses

The crusade recorded:
- 8,100 in-person attendees

As the evening came to a close, the Home Free Global Crusade Batangas stood as another powerful testimony of faith overcoming fear, hope triumphing over despair, and hearts finding healing through the touch of Christ.
