Abstract
"God anointed the early missionaries to the Kankana-ey to establish the Assemblies of God Churches in the Cordillera region. He confirmed their preaching with signs and wonders. Many were healed through prayers of faith. The church grew rapidly because of these demonstrations of God’s power. With time, the denomination was able to train more of their pastors to provide sound Bible teaching to the congregations. This confirmed the churches, giving them greater stability through an understanding of God’s will. Today the church is maturing under the leadership of its own Kankana-ey ministers. The Kankana-ey Assemblies of God has done a good job of excluding the traditional beliefs and practices of their animistic past in their prayers for the sick."
