As if the scene was taken from a glossy magazine, white, cirrus clouds are cotton-scattered under the tropic sun. Homes and building structures from below are getting scarcer as the plane heads toward the Gulf area, and levels down, and down and down to the taxiway. A few minutes after, her heart beats faster as the airbus taxis through the long strip of paved road. “It’s the New Jerusalem at last,” she utters in disbelief. “I’m finally, finally, home!”
September 11, 2009 is a day of great jubilation as the Kingdom of Jesus Christ World Headquarters prepares for the homecoming of the Kingdom’s Administrator for North America, Sis. Teresita “Tessie” Dandan who has been away from “home” for almost a decade.
The warm reception is reminiscent to that of welcoming a soldier who has just come home from battle. A very triumphant battle.
Being the Kingdom’s emissary of goodwill and spiritual envoy to the United States is indeed a tremendous fight successfully won for the Almighty Father through His Appointed Son.
In Sister Tessie’s first year in the US in 2001, the world’s attention was on America. The World Trade Center had just been reduced into ashes. Scores of people died, and fear gripped America’s heart. An all-out war against terrorism was waged. And she, a woman and alone, was sent to a mission of expanding the Kingdom’s works all over the United States.
“It was such a very challenging time but since day one, I never looked at the impossibility or hardship of things, for as the Son has taught every Kingdom warrior, we have to look beyond our circumstances and put our complete trust in the Almighty Father,” Sis. Tessie discloses. |
Reinforcing the then established Kingdom works in Greater California, Sis. Tessie, together with less than ten full time miracle workers saturated the counties in Northern and Southern California, making a harvest of sons and daughters who have been receiving the Appointed Son’s message of salvation since the early years of the Kingdom ministry in the US.

The Appointed Son first held the first thanksgiving and worship presentation broadcast live all over the world on July 10, 2005. It was then the very first among the series of King is Coming Tours, wherein Pastor Apollo brought with him a team of international crusaders from the Kingdom’s base in Davao City, Philippines.
A year before, the Kingdom acquired a land and building property on 14424 VAnowen St., Van Nuys, South of California which was then expanded and developed into the Kingdom’s Official Headquarters in the United States.
It is now home to full-time miracle workers being sent all over the US and is also where the Kingdom holds its weekly thanksgiving and worship presentation in the Los Angeles Area.
From California, the Kingdom Nation expanded to the eastern and the western coasts. Transcending barriers of all kinds. The expansion continued through the years as from state to state, the Kingdom’s Full- Time miracle worker sent by the Appointed Son of God established Kingdom sentinels of light.
Years ago, the Son received a revelation from the Father that 70,000 souls will be called as the first fruit of the spiritual harvest in the United States. The triumphant concerts in North America before the end of 2009
mirrors the fulfillment of that revelation. |

“We now see the fulfillment of everything the Appointed Son said years and years ago. We are here as faithful sons and daughters, dedicated warriors in the spirit who are willing to go out in the cold, lay down our lives, so that the Father’s Cause may prosper,” Sis. Tessie shares with young missionary workers that will soon be deployed to the different states.

What the Kingdom Work in the United States is today is what the Father wanted it to be, years ago, when He sent His Son to set foot on hardest soil in the spiritual world—America.
The Son was the first Seed planted on the American soil, followed by sons and daughters who were as tails to the comet that first blazed the trail across the American skies.
As Pastor Apollo and a small crew ride the Kingdom’s Executive Jet for its maiden flight last October, Sis. Tessie looks and waves back to the well-wishers at the tarmac. N200AQ—the aircraft’s tail number reads. As the Son’s worldwide travel is sped up to the highest quotient, so is the establishment and fortification of the Kingdom works throughout the United States and North America.
And sister Tessie could never be more thankful for being a humble instrument in this great spiritual mission. Guide
