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 Tuesday April 28, 2009

We woke up early today because we had to pack all our belongings. It is time to go home. I know that it is going to be very hard. It has been a very long time since I have been so reluctant to leave a country. I feel like I need to change my ticket and stay another month. The only reason why I do not, is because I miss my wife too much.

I know many people reading that might think what kind of a missionary is that? He runs home when he misses his wife? Yes! I do! The reason that I do is because I have an agreement with God. When I am on the mission field he must take away my homesickness. As long as there is still work to do, I do not miss my wife. That is how I know that my work is done when I am on a missionary trip because I begin to miss my wife.

As long as there is still work for me to do, I can be away for weeks, even months, and not miss her. I am not talking about the common missing that most people think about, I am talking about the bleeding heart, got to see her or I will absolutely die kind of missing her. The kind of feeling that I have right now.

We eat breakfast and everyone is quiet. We all have tears in our eyes and our hearts, and we know that it is going to be difficult to separate. Brother Stockmann fights to hold his emotions in, and his wife tells me that her husband does not know what he is going to do when we are gone. Their young daughter Catarina (18 years old) quietly whispers to her mom as everyone leaves the dining area. She is asking her mother if they can please adopt by son Bernie III so that he does not have to leave. My heart goes out to this wonderful family.

Before leaving to the airport, we gather around and say a short prayer. I pray for the family, the ministry, the household, and then for each individual. Sister Catarina that God would bless her and fill her with her Holy Spirit, that she would know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she his God's daughter, predestinated from before the foundation of the world. For sister Mara her complete healing of her eyes to continue, for her ongoing pain issues to be taken care of. For Brother Stockmann, his hearts desires to be granted.

Then Brother Stockmann began to pray for us: for a safe journey back and thanking God for having brought us. As we said our goodbyes, handshakes were not enough as we embraced each other and the tears freely flowed down our cheeks.

On the way to the airport, I received a call from Sister Karina Bissoli. She knew that we were leaving today and wanted to bid us good journey. We talked for a while and then she talked to Bernie III. It was a very happy conversation, and her entire family sent their greetings to us. It was nice to know that they remembered our itinerary and cared enough to call us before we left Brazilian soil.

We get to our plane in time, board and are in Sao Paulo before we know it. After we collect our luggage, we sit around waiting for Continental to open up for business so that we can check in, but they do not open up until 6:00 p.m. That is two more hours, so I sit down and begin catching up on our reports for this trip.
