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.

Colombia - Barrancabermeja 26 Aug 2009 - Wednesday

I arrived at the Bogota International airport at about 4:30 a.m. this morning. Since there was no one to greet me, I changed about $20 into pesos so that I could use the pay phones.

Of course none of the pay phones worked. I walked over to the Continental Airlines counter and asked to use a phone, but since all I had was a cell phone number they were unable to help me.

So, I walked over to the domestic departure section of the airport and investigated to find out what airline I would be flying to Barrancabermeja on. I discovered that I was booked on an 8:10 a.m. flight on FlyEasy airlines. They were able to give me a home number off of my reservation and I walked to Continental Airlines counter again where they allowed me to call from there.


Finally, about 6:00 a.m. I made contact with Sister Jenny (Bro. Alvarez's daughter in Bogota) who informed me that her sisters and brother-in-law were already on the way to the airport and should be there at any time.


I asked her to call them and let them know that I would be waiting in front of the Continental ticket counter. Sure enough about ten minutes they arrived. Brother Dadier Beltran, minister of Bogota Colombia the husband of Cecilia Alvarez de Beltran, and Sister Sharon Alvarez were overjoyed to have found me, and I to see them.


We checked in our luggage and collected our boarding passes, and then headed over to the cafeteria to eat while we waited to be allowed to board our flight. We left on time to Barrancabermeja and were greeted there by several members of the local congregation and Pastor Jose Alvarez.


We checked into a hotel, where totally exhausted I fell asleep.


That evening in service I preached on an introductory sermon called "In God's Hands." The service was very good, and I could see that we would have a very successful time by Friday evenings service. After service we had fellowship in a little house in the back of the church. On the way back to the hotel we stopped at a restuarant and had a bite to eat.


Finally, and thankfully, at about 1:00 a.m. we arrived back to the hotel.
