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.

Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Ecuador


Manada Pequeña Church in Santo Domingo de los Colorados
Thursday, February 11, 2011
We arrived in Santo Domingo with much excitement.  Brother Jofre Peña, a fondly remembered friend from my time in Santo Domingo de los Colorados (SDDLC) as a young 18 year old waited for us expectantly at the busy street interesection. 

As he saw the car approaching, he recognized me, and rushing to the car greeted us.  He did not recognize anyone else in the vehicle at the time as he had not yet physically met Brother Raul Londoño, and it had been years since he had seen Brother José Álvarez.  But he recognized me
instantly from the many services he has watched on the internet for the last few years.

As there was no room in the little car (ask Billy,Pancho, or Dr. Montoya and they will know what I am talking about) he hired a taxi and we followed him to his house.

His family received us with great joy and I was so happy that I still recognized Brother Jofre´s wife who I had not seen in over 25 years!  I was truly amazed and suprised at the reception we received.  Nothing fancy, but sooooooo heartfelt.  It was very hard to keep my emotions under control as I saw that the Peña family had such love in their hearts for us.

At service Thursday night Bernabé Nicholás Camacho García III (Tres) brought the message.  I think this is really the first time that I have even heard him preach (not being primary a testimony).  It was an incredible perfomance as he brought the audience into the scene of the woman washing Jesus´s Dirty Feet.  He spoke directly in Spanish with slight pauses every once in a while as he searched for the right word, but every eye was on him and he was clearly understood.

Everyone was very happy and many received blessings as they understood that no matter what their situation was Jesus was never late to any of his appointments.

Brother Flavio Villagomez and his wife Nora
After service it was such a joy shaking hands with everyone and get reaquainted with old friends from years passed.  I was especially thrilled to find my personal jeweler Brother Flavio Villagomez, the man who designed and created my original engagement ring that I made in preparation for asking my beautiful girlfriend Leticia Camacho to be my wife and become Mrs. Leticia C García.

Brother Flavio was very happy to see me, and he has a beautiful family that he introduced me too.  It was such a joy to see his wife Nora who was my original Spanish teacher when I was living in Santo Domingo for two months as a nineteen year old.

The church has a tambourine section of about 8 players that are awesome.  They practiced with Tres to be able to perform Hallellujah Friday evening in service.  It was fun, and it is amazing how much they already knew about the way I play, everyone had questions asking me how to do what I do.

Friday, February 11, 2011
At 10 A.M. this morning I had a question and answer session at the church with those members that congregate with Brother Jofre Peña.  They had many questions to ask, and very good questions too.  It seems that most were very happy with the answers, but the very nature of the questions lead me to understand that a program of continuing help is needed for this church in order to help them establish themselves completely and to heal them from the traumas they have suffered in the past.

Tres practiced with the young people again getting the special down pat.

Service is later tonight, scheduled for 6:00 PM local time (4PM Phoenix, Arizona time).  By God´s grace, i8f he permits we will be broadcasting LIVE the service from Santo Domingo de los Colorados.  You can access the service from our Voice of Restoration home page or by going directly to our UStream video broadcast channel at www.voiceofrestoration.net.
