A Wave of Revival: Over 130,000 Souls Touched at Home Free Global Crusades 2026 in Manila

A powerful wave of spiritual awakening swept across the Philippines this past weekend as the Home Free Global Crusades 2026 touched the lives of thousands in Manila. Hosted by the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) and led by global evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol, the two-day event marked what many are calling a “grand and glorious beginning” for the year’s outreach initiatives.

More than 130,000 people gathered at the Quirino Grandstand to worship, hear God’s Word, and experience the transforming power of His Spirit. Attendees were treated to stirring musical performances and dance, with worship led by Christian artist Taya, whose heartfelt ministry inspired many.

The impact of the crusade was immediate and profound. On Saturday alone, 60,000 people attended, with 7,050 making decisions to follow Christ and 5,550 stepping into the waters of baptism. Sunday’s gathering saw an even greater response, with 75,000 attendees, 10,250 decisions for Christ, and 6,425 baptized.

“I noticed that even before I could finish my conclusion in my message, people were already walking forward close to the stage, and they literally rushed to the front to surrender their lives to Jesus! We ran out of baptismal gowns yet, many of them were not discouraged by it and still went on to be baptized—to God be the glory,” Ferriol shared after Saturday’s outreach.

Videos and images from the weekend capture thousands raising their hands in worship, many moved to tears by God’s love. The ministry reflected, “In Manila, the work of God was truly evident. His Word touched the hearts of many, questions were answered, and souls were refreshed, leading to lives won for Christ.”

One of the highlights was worship led by Taya, known for her song “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).” She shared on social media, “Getting to worship with you all at the Home Free: Global Online Crusades has been such an incredibly sweet and powerful time in the presence of God, witnessing people make the most important decision of their lives — running to the altar to give their lives to Jesus.”

Jonathan S. Ferriol, who now serves as the Chief Executive Minister of PMCC (4th Watch), inherited the leadership role following the passing of his father, Apostle Arsenio T. Ferriol, and alongside his mother, Evangelist Leticia S. Ferriol. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ferriol pioneered a vision to reach communities with outdoor evangelistic events, giving birth to the Home Free Global Crusades. Over the past three years, 14 crusades have impacted more than eight million people, with over 105,000 embracing water baptism.

Reflecting on the Manila outreach, Ferriol wrote on social media, “I am beyond blessed and honored to be given this platform by God and His divine will to be able to declare the gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ, to hundreds of thousands of people here in Manila and across the world in these past two days.”

He continued, “I really don’t care about history or achievements. All I care about are the souls that need to hear and receive the gospel so they can be saved from sin and God finding me faithful to His calling in my life.”

Despite some theological differences among Christian observers, PMCC (4th Watch) remains steadfast in teaching that being “born again” through Jesus Christ is essential for salvation and entry into God’s kingdom. The weekend in Manila stands as a living testimony of God’s love, mercy, and the life-changing power of His Word.
