Clarence Eduarte is a visual artist from the Philippines who has been involved in the Lord’s work since 1998. For more than two decades, his mission has consistently centered on building communities, cultivating relationships, sharing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and equipping leaders to continue the work of God’s Kingdom in their own communities.

 

In the summer of 2017, the Lord led him to meet Henry Hon in San Francisco. Through this encounter, the Lord opened his eyes to a deeper understanding of the message of oneness in the Body of Christ. Since then, he has devoted himself to imparting the Gospel of Peace among the brethren, believing that true unity among God’s people is a powerful testimony that Jesus is truly the Christ.

 

Although the Philippines is recognized as the only predominantly Christian nation in Southeast Asia, division among Christian groups and denominations remains evident. Because of this, God placed a burden in Clarence’s heart to help spread the message of unity, reconciliation, and peace within the Body of Christ throughout the nation.

 

Currently, he is being led to reach university students in Northern Philippines, with a special focus on equipping young leaders at Mariano Marcos State University. His vision is to prepare and empower students who can carry and impart this message of peace and oneness to more than 70,000 students across the university community and beyond.

 

For Clarence, the Gospel of Peace is deeply liberating because Christ Himself is the One who brings true freedom. One of the greatest highlights of his journey has been the moment the Lord opened his understanding to see and embrace this truth more clearly. He firmly believes that when there is genuine unity and peace among God’s people, it becomes a living affirmation to the world that Jesus is the Christ.
