The Oil and the Wine in the Last Days II Book II Rolando E Santiago

The Oil and the Wine in the Last Days

The world is shaking. Economies collapse, nations tremble, and the systems of man are faltering — yet Heaven is at work. In the midst of global chaos, God is raising a remnant: a people marked by Oil and Wine, anointed to steward divine resources, overflow with supernatural joy, and finance His end-time purposes.

In The Oil and the Wine in the Last Days, Rev. Rolando Santiago unveils the prophetic mystery of God’s last-days wealth transfer. Drawing from Scripture, historical examples, and prophetic insight, this book reveals how the Lord will preserve and empower His faithful in times of shaking, how believers can become part of His Joseph Company, and the spiritual conditions required to steward His Kingdom resources.

Readers will discover:

How the Oil of anointing and the Wine of joy define the end-time remnant
Biblical examples of wealth transfer and divine provision in the lives of Joseph, Daniel, Esther, and Israel
Prophetic signals of global shaking that precede God’s intervention
Practical guidance for obedience, stewardship, and Kingdom economics
The ultimate purpose: financing the Final Harvest and preparing the Bride for the return of the King

This book is both a revelation and a charge. It is written for believers called to end-time ministry, prophetic stewardship, and spiritual awakening, as well as for Christians seeking to understand God’s purposes in the last days.

The Oil and the Wine in the Last Days is not just a book — it is a prophetic mandate: a call to rise, to steward, and to carry Heaven’s anointing into a world in desperate need of God’s glory.

🕊️ WHAT ITEAMS PHILIPPINES IS

A Faith-Based Missions Organization
- ITP is a non-stock, non-profit Christian mission-sending organization dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20).
- It mobilizes, equips, and deploys Filipino believers to local and international mission fields.
- It is rooted in Evangelical and Pentecostal convictions about evangelism, discipleship, and holistic transformation.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” – Matthew 28:19, KJV

A Training and Mobilization Movement
- It provides systematic mission training (ACCESS 1, ACCESS 2, Revitalized Mission, and specialized courses).
- It seeks to awaken the Philippine Church to its global missionary calling, turning ordinary members into trained ambassadors for Christ.

A Fellowship of Ordinary People with an Extraordinary Calling
- ITP emphasizes that missions are not just for pastors or full-time ministers, but for all believers who respond to God’s call.
- Members come from all walks of life—professionals, students, OFWs, and church volunteers—who desire to serve God in various contexts.
“Here am I; send me.” – Isaiah 6:8, KJV

A Holistic Mission Ministry
- It integrates spiritual, social, and economic transformation: evangelism, education, livelihood, health, and disaster response.
- Programs like There Is Hope, Dignity Ministry, and IT Tender Ministries serve as examples of “faith in action.”
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” – James 2:17, KJV

A Movement under God’s Sovereignty, not Human Sponsorship
- ITP operates by faith. Missionaries are encouraged to trust God for provision rather than depend solely on foreign financial aid or denominational subsidies.
- It embodies the belief that God’s work done God’s way will never lack God’s supply.

A Catalyst for the “Global Filipino Dream”
- The organization envisions the Philippines as a missionary-sending nation—where Filipino believers are among the most active cross-cultural workers globally.

🚫 WHAT ITEAMS PHILIPPINES IS NOT

Not a Denomination or a Local Church
- ITP does not function as a church; it partners with churches.
- It does not administer ordinances (like baptism or communion) or claim ecclesiastical authority.
- Its role is to serve and mobilize churches for mission—not replace them.

Not a Funding or Employment Agency
- Missionaries are not salaried employees of ITP.
- It is not a recruitment or job-placement organization.
- Each missionary is responsible for faith-based or partner-supported funding.

Not a Mere Humanitarian NGO
- While ITP engages in social upliftment, its primary goal is spiritual transformation through the Gospel.
- Projects in education, livelihood, or disaster response are platforms for evangelism, not ends in themselves.

Not a Political or Social Movement
- It does not engage in partisan politics or ideology-driven activism.
- Its mission is Kingdom-centered, not political reform or social protest.

Not a Personality-Centered Organization
- ITP’s work is team-based, not centered on a founder or charismatic leader.
- Emphasis is on servant leadership and collective obedience to Christ’s Great Commission.

Not Exclusively for Full-Time Missionaries
- Anyone—teacher, student, nurse, engineer—can join as long as they commit to serving Christ’s mission.
- Marketplace professionals are viewed as missionaries in disguise in their places of work.

How ITP Funds the Missions

From public documents and ITP’s website:

From Filipino Givers & Local Support
- ITP is largely funded by Filipino supporters (churches, individual donors). ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE+2ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
- They believe “even those with little financial resources … can be used by God,” under a system where ordinary believers contribute. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
Global Partners / International Support
- For donors outside the Philippines, ITP also has ways to give through IT-USA or other channels. This allows supporters from the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere to send funds. expydoc.com
- They accept non-monetary gifts (“gifts in kind”) as well. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE+1
There is a Formal Donation System
- ITP has bank accounts (e.g. BDO) for accepting financial donations. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
- They also accept via digital/mobile-wallet platforms (GCash, PayMaya), and via PayPal. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
- They issue official receipts for donations. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
Partners Circle
- ITP has a group called the Partners Circle composed of supporters / donors, especially those with business or financial expertise whose role is to help sustain and grow the organization financially. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE+1
- As the ministry grew, financial challenges increased; the Partners Circle helps with fundraising strategy, oversight, and ensuring financial health. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
Faith-Based / Self-Reliant Model
- ITP sees its funding as coming “mostly by Filipinos” and operates on the principle that God will supply through willing givers rather than institutional or government grants. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
- Also, they believe persons with “meager financial resources” who have faith can be called and supported. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE

What Funding Does Not Look Like (What It’s Not)

From what I found, these are things ITP does not do (or at least does not emphasize) in their funding model:

They do not appear to depend heavily (or at all) on government grants or major foreign institutional funding (e.g. large NGOs or foreign governments). Their emphasis is on local support / faith giving. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
Missionaries are not salaried by ITP in the sense of having a large guaranteed institutional stipend; they need support from donors / partners. (This is implied by the faith-based model and the “support your missionary” instructions.) expydoc.com+1
It’s not a purely transactional or fee-for-service model. The giving is voluntary, faith-based, with accountability built in (receipts, oversight). ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE

Implications / Things to Be Aware

If you want, this is useful especially if you’re considering being supported as a missionary, or donating:

Missionaries must likely raise their own support: building donor networks, communicating regularly with supporters.
Because much of the funding is faith-giving, income may fluctuate; there may be periods of less support.
Donors / partners are often expected to be consistent and intentional, not one-time only. Having a stable base of supporters is important.

🔍 What External Information I Found

Most detailed historical data about ITP comes directly from ITP’s own site. External confirmations are sparse, but I found a few supporting points and some unresolved areas.

Affirmation of ITP’s Growth & Recognition by International Teams
- ITP’s website quotes a newsletter by Kevin Dyer, founder of International Teams (the broader global mission organization) stating that by ~2008, “nearly half of all ITeams missionaries worldwide are Filipinos.” This is presented as an external affirmation from the global parent organization. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
- While this is presented on ITP’s site, it functions as outside validation (i.e. from the parent/global body) of their growth. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
Name Changes and Corporate Identity
- ITP’s own site says the organization at some point went by ITEA (IT East Asia) and then later reverted back to IT Philippines (ITP) as the corporate name. This is more of an internal record, but given consistency over time, it is likely accurate. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
Stories / Testimonies of Missionaries
- Several testimonies / “God sightings” on ITP’s site provide first-hand narratives: for example, missionaries starting with no fixed support or going to fields like Thailand or Cambodia in response to calls. While these are primary sources from within ITP, they help flesh out the lived history. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE+2ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE+2
- For example, Sister Cristee “Pat” Marcelino’s nine years in Indonesia, followed by call to Cambodia. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE

⚠️ Gaps / Limitations / What Was Not Found

In my search, several historical claims made by ITP could not be fully verified from independent sources (journalistic, academic, or denominational archives). Some of these include:

Exact dates: e.g. the specific year the foreign missionaries left completely; the year ITP began (beyond “1980s”) isn’t pinpointed independently.
Quantitative data: number of missionaries sent each year (outside ITP’s data), exact count of countries served, financial figures, etc.
External publications: I found no major independent articles (in well-known Philippine or global Christian press) detailing the transition in leadership to Pastor Gani Sison, or the faith-based strategy, with comparable level of detail.
Third-party evaluations: There seems to be no evaluation by external mission boards, NGOs, or academic institutions (at least accessible via basic web search) that analyze ITP’s history or impact quantitatively.

✅ Tentative Reconstructed Timeline (with External Support Where Available)

Based on ITP’s own materials, cross-checked as much as possible:

Period	Key Events	Degree of External Corroboration
1980s	Foreign missionaries from USA, Australia, Canada begin long-term work among urban poor in Manila.	Mostly internal; no external sources found to confirm names or dates.
1990s, pre-1999	Decline / crisis: conflicts, foreign staff leaving; ITP nearly closing.	Internal only; external confirmation lacking.
1999	Pastor Gani Sison becomes National Director; new vision of mobilizing the nation for global missions.	Internal; no independent press found confirming the date or appointment.
2000	Reforms; adoption of “new wine skin” approach; name ITEA used; faith-based funding model; sending over 100 missionaries in ~2 years after renewal.	Internal; external affirmation via Kevin Dyer’s newsletter (cited by ITP) about Filipino mission-workers becoming large percentage of ITeams overall. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
2008	Kevin Dyer’s report about ITP being “fastest growing entity” in ITeams, with nearly half of global ITeams missionaries being Filipino. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE
After 2008	Continued growth: more missionaries, wider geographic fields, name revert to IT Philippines. Ongoing testimonies of missionary voyages, faith stories, etc. ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE+3ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE+3ITEAMS 2025 WEBSITE

Module 1: Topic 2 – The Foundation of Leadership

Module 1 – The Foundation of Leadership

Topic 2: Character before Position

Scripture Reading

“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;” (1 Timothy 3:2 KJV)

Introduction

In the modern world, leadership is often associated with titles, positions, or influence. But in the Kingdom of God, leadership is grounded first in character. Before Paul discusses the skills of teaching or overseeing, he stresses the moral and spiritual qualifications of leaders.

This principle is timeless: position without character is dangerous, but character without position is still leadership in essence. God raises leaders based not merely on their ability, but on their integrity.

Exposition of the Text

Paul’s qualifications for a leader in 1 Timothy 3 emphasize who a person is rather than what a person can do.

1. “Blameless” – A leader must live above reproach. This does not mean perfection, but integrity—being consistent in public and private life.

2. “Vigilant, sober, of good behaviour” – A leader is disciplined, wise, and self-controlled. Leadership demands maturity of judgment.

3. “Given to hospitality” – Leadership is relational. Leaders open their lives and homes to others.

4. “Apt to teach” – Leadership includes the ability to communicate truth, but it comes after the emphasis on character.

Notice the order: integrity before ability, lifestyle before ministry, being before doing.

Theological Reflection

Leadership reflects God’s holiness. A leader represents God to people; therefore, their life must mirror His character.

Character is the foundation of influence. Positions can be given, but trust must be earned.

God prioritizes heart over talent. When Samuel sought Israel’s king, the Lord reminded him:

“For the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7 KJV)

Values Integration

1. Integrity – Leadership collapses without moral consistency. Integrity builds trust.

“The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.” (Proverbs 11:3 KJV)

2. Discipline – Self-control and responsibility are signs of readiness to lead.

“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” (1 Corinthians 9:27 KJV)

3. Trustworthiness – A leader’s reliability matters more than charisma.

“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much…” (Luke 16:10 KJV)

Practical Applications for College Students

1. Focus on Personal Growth – Develop spiritual habits (devotion, prayer, service) that shape integrity.

2. Practice Responsible Leadership Now – In classroom projects, organizations, or group work, show reliability and respect.

3. Guard Your Reputation – What you post online, how you treat peers, and how you respond under pressure reflect your leadership character.

4. Seek Mentorship – Learn from godly leaders whose lives model integrity more than achievement.

Discussion Questions

1. Why does the Bible emphasize character before skills in leadership?

2. What dangers arise when leaders gain position without first proving character?

3. How can college students build leadership character even without holding formal titles?

4. In today’s culture of instant success, how can we maintain the biblical order of “being before doing”?

Devotional Thought

God is not impressed by titles, resumes, or achievements. He is looking for hearts aligned with Him. If you are faithful in small things, God will entrust you with greater things. Leadership begins not with what you do, but with who you are in Christ.

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;” (1 Peter 1:15 KJV)
