Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol stands as a commanding force in the preaching of the Gospel, a leading voice of the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch), carrying a mandate that pushes the Gospel into places where many thought faith could not reach. His preaching grips hearts, his conviction awakens belief, and his burden for souls sets a clear call before a world weighed down by confusion and fear. He walks with the mantle of an apostolic ministry that refuses to shrink back. Wherever he steps—whether before crowds or in foreign soil—people feel the urgency, compassion, and divine pull of the message he brings.
It was during one of the darkest chapters of human history that this calling birthed something extraordinary. At the height of the COVID pandemic, when churches shifted to screens and gatherings were uncertain, a small team and a simple online service sparked what would soon become the Home Free Global Crusade. From those humble beginnings, the crusade took flight—reaching thousands with the message of hope and salvation, crossing borders, time zones, and barriers that seemed impossible. Its rise became living proof that God’s work cannot be halted, and under Apostle Jonathan’s leadership, what began in crisis grew into a worldwide lifeline for countless souls.
For five years, the Home Free Global Crusade has carried one message across continents—a call to salvation led by Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol. What began as a God-given vision has grown into a worldwide movement, gathering seekers, healing wounded hearts, and reminding thousands that hope still reaches the farthest places.
Home Free Abu Dhabi: A night that changed lives
The UAE has witnessed several Home Free crusades through the years, each one leaving its own imprint on seekers, believers, and countless OFWs longing for God’s touch. From Dubai to Abu Dhabi, every event carried moments of healing, renewal, and deep encounters with the Gospel. Yet this year’s Home Free Word Tour in Abu Dhabi rose above them all, becoming one of the most unforgettable chapters in mission’s journey across the Middle East.
Nearly 2,500 people filled the grand Ballroom Hall of Conrad Etihad Towers—OFWs, families, first-time guests, returning attendees, and believers from multiple nations who came carrying silent struggles. Filipinos stood shoulder to shoulder with Africans, South Asians, Middle Eastern guests, and other nationalities drawn to the message of hope. When worship started, the atmosphere shifted. The hall felt charged, stirring weary hearts to reach upward again and search for the voice of God in the middle of their battles.
Among those present were Samoan groups who came singing, praying, and standing with a deep sense of unity, adding a beautiful and heartfelt presence to the night.
The Katinas later shared how moved they were by the spirit in the room. Their songs poured over the crowd like a wave, leading many to tears. Stories of changed lives followed long after the event ended— workers longing for home, families in crisis, individuals fighting sickness, and souls weighed down by private pain. Many walked into the hall heavy, yet walked out lifted and renewed through the message delivered by Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol.
For countless attendees, Home Free Abu Dhabi was not just a gathering. It became a turning point—a moment where God met them in the middle of their wilderness. A night they will carry with them for years to come.
The mission continues
What began as a rescue in a season of crisis is now accelerating into its most ambitious era yet. The HFGC is preparing for a year that will push its borders wider, reach new nations, and gather larger crowds hungry for God’s message. The new chapter launches at Luneta on January 17 and 18, where Yeng Constantino and Taya Smith will stand before thousands ready for another life-changing encounter.
The path ahead widens quickly. Major cities across the world are being mapped out, with doors opening in regions long prayed for. One of the key highlights is the upcoming Home Free Word Tour in Riyadh, KSA where countless OFWs are already anticipating a powerful move of God. Another landmark moment will unfold with the first HFGC in New Zealand, marking yet another step into new territory.
This next season points toward greater gatherings, fresh breakthroughs, and nations waiting for the Gospel to reach them in a way they’ve never seen before. Every destination holds the same purpose: find the people who feel far from God and give them a moment that will shift the course of their lives.
A ministry moved by heaven
Behind every crusade is a leader who refuses to grow weary. Apostle Jonathan continues to press forward with courage, clarity, and a burden for souls that pushes boundaries. Home Free is not just an event—it is a rescue. It is a reminder that God’s mercy does not wait for people to come home; it goes out to find them.
As the ministry crosses seas, cultures, and languages, one truth resounds: God is still saving. God is still reaching. And through this work, countless lives will continue to discover the hope they thought they had lost.
