Reactivation of Voice of Restoration Missionary Trips

After a series of meetings with Rev. William NC Garcia, Rev. James C Garcia, Brother Joseph C. Garcia, and Rev. Bernabé NC García, and upon consultation with Apostle Missionary Pastor Rev. Bernabé G. García, the consensus was reached that the bride of Jesus Christ would be best served if the Voice of Restoration reactivated the missionary trip portion of its ministry.

While it was the President’s desire that the focus of The Voice of Restoration remain the transcription and production of the messages brought by Rev. Bernabé G. García, Brother William and Joseph along with Brother James Garcia felt very strongly that a united front was best served by working under the banner of Voice of Restoration in the missionary field.

There will continue to be a marked distinction between those men sent specifically from Voice of Restoration and those that are merely sympathizers of the the Voice of Restoration. Anyone travelling on official business of the Voice of Restoration will be named specifically on this website under our “Current Trip” and our “Upcoming Trip” section.

Voice of Restoration continues to work in conjunction with other ministries, including but not limited to City of Refuge Ministries, Circuit Rider Ministry, La Sangre de Cristo, and World Wide Missionary Outreach. However, those ministries do not represent Voice of Restoration in an official capacity except as when noted from this website.

In the future ALL official Voice of Restoration events will be announced from this website. Please note that not ALL of the activities posted by Phoenix Tabernacle are Voice of Restoration events. However, our ministries are closely entwined with the ministries of all who follow the message of the hour. We support each and every church’s rights and desires to have events. It is just physically impossible for us to be at every event.

We will continue to announce and to attend non-official Voice of Restoration events as it is our continual desire to fellowship with all of our brothers. An official Voice of Restoration event is one in which the the leadership of Voice of Restoration designs, implements and carries out the programmed activities.

We covet the prayers of each and everyone of you that love the ministry of Rev. Bernabé G. García as we do our utmost to carry on the missionary work he started while remaining faithful to his vision for the future.

In his service,
Rev. Bernabé NC García for and with Rev. Bernabé G. García, Sr.

Brazil - Preface to the April 2009 trip to Brazil

Well, our missionary trip to Brazil actually started two weeks ago when Bernabe NC Garcia, Bernie Garcia III, and William Garcia travelled to San Francisco to apply for our visas. We drove all night and arrived in San Francisco at about 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday April 1, 2009. It was quite a journey since we were not able to purchase our US Postal Service money orders with a visa card. We needed a debit card. Not having one we had to call back home to Phoenix where a deposit was made into William´s checking account. However, since the deposit was not posted immediately we were not able to access the money. We thought that we might get some money via Western Union, and so we walked to a nearby Western Union.

Boy, what a mistake! We could sense the danger in every inch of that neighborhood. A local pimp sat in the Western Union store making sure he was there to charge people who owed him money. People cashing their checks would divide up their money into every conceivable pocket they had before venturing outside. There was a look of oppression on every experession. We decided that even if we did get sent money, we did not want to collect it there, and we walked back to the embassy. By then we realized that we would not make it on time and after talking to my sister Deborah Gallardo we agreed to just wait until funds cleared on William´s account after midnight. We then contacted Brother Billy of Harare Zimbabwe Africa (who currently lives in Foster City) and he was gracious enough to receive us at his house, take us to eat, and lodge us.

We woke up early in the morning, got our money, purchased our USPS money orders, and paid for our visas. They informed us that the five year visas would be ready for pickup the following Thursday (April 09, 2008). We then drove down to Monterrey, California where we could have a little bit of fellowship with Bernie III´s girlfriend Reyna Moreira. We took her to eat at Bubba Gump´s Shrip Restaurant on Canery Row. The fellowship and meal were wonderful. We departed back to Phoenix, Arizona driving all night until we got to Phoenix.

The following week, Bernabe NC Garcia flew to San Francisco and returned the same day with everyone´s visa. The people who are on this trip are:
  • William NC Garcia
  • Lydia C Garcia
  • Bernabe NC Garcia
  • Bernie NC Garcia III
  • Francisco Perez
  • Samuel Garcia

Also already in Brazil and awaiting our arrival is Brother Pedro Pineda a VofR minister from Phoenix who is currently ministering in Durango, Durango Mexico, and Brother Jorge Scabarrozzi of Lima Peru.
