Back in 1987 Chad Estes viewed a radical display of Christianity in San Fernando City in the Pampanga province of the Philippines.
Chad was there as part of a YWAM mobile evangelism team over the Easter weekend when he witnessed people whipping themselves, getting beaten with clubs and even being crucified on a cross (not to death mind you, but literally nailed to a cross for ten-minutes.). The people did it to get God’s attention and to “atone for their sins”.
