"God has given all things into the hands of His son Jesus. Therefore the health field rightly belongs to Him! But the enemy has usurped it, so we, His children need to claim what rightfully belongs to Jesus Christ."

Thus, declared Dr. Lourdes D. Ramirez, PHCF National Coordinator in her welcome remarks at the PHCF 5th National Prayer Summit on October 24-26, 2014 in Tagaytay City. The summit which focused on the theme, "Raising Up An Army of Intercessors in the Health Field," draw 65 healthcare workers from various hospitals and clinics nationwide.

The guest speaker, Rev. Beulah Badua, president, Filipino Christian Friends of Israel, enlightened the participants during the three-day teachings on Intercession founded mainly on Apostle Paul's instruction:

"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." (1 Timothy 2:1-29, NKJV)

Rev. Beulah Badua

A foremost intercessory leader and teacher on prayer and Israel in the country, Rev. Badua challenged the health workers to be a "Wall", Repairer and Rebuilder in their workplaces, cities and to the nation.
