What Clients Say About Us

Hear from readers and supporters who’ve been moved by “40 Ways.” Read heartfelt testimonials sharing how Philip’s story has inspired and encouraged them in their own lives.

Watching Philip live his life in a radical way, in a way that represents a life dedicated to wholly serving God, has been exhilarating and challenging. This radical, sold out to God, lives a life is that displays what Jesus meant when he said in Matthew 16:25 “For whoever would save his life would lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Philips story shows this very thing by his selfless acts of kindness for others, even a world away in a war zone. He has discovered that Jesus love is an active love focused on recognizing a need, taking action, and inspiring others to follow suit. Philip has lost his life for Jesus sake. The story of how that has happened as shown in his book, is truly inspiring and challenges all of us to also “lose his life for my sake.” Only then for Jesus sake will we find it. Philip has found it in Jesus, through faith in Jesus saving power, then though that loss of self, through the act of serving others, no matter the cost. And God is truly glorified in the process.

40 Ways” is a wonderful read and a powerful story of one man’s journey in pursuit of purpose and fulfillment through serving others. The experiences shared are compelling and instructive to anyone seeking meaningful, purposeful lives. I encourage everyone to read this book and challenge readers to find themselves in the reflective lessons so well-articulated. In this book, Philip Tenorio shares his commitment to a life dedicated to philanthropic purpose and compassionate engagement. The intensely soulfulness of this life journey is powerfully laid out and Philip’s self-discovery is generously shared. As someone who shares Philip’s ideal that true meaning and satisfaction can only be maximized by helping others, I greatly appreciate this wonderful book.

I believe Philip has something to say. He wrote most of this book in Brazil while serving people who experienced catastrophic flooding. I first met my friend there as we served together. It was clear to me then that he is compelled to write, not to bring any recognition to himself, but to offer encouragement to his readers. Philip is well traveled, not only in his mission endeavors but in his spiritual journey.
He speaks openly about faith in action, which only makes sense once you have experienced this: “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name”

“40 Ways” is for everyone. Everyone who seeks purpose, power, service, or belonging. It’s for people that are questioning themselves, who might be lost, roaming, or aimless. This book may have been written by one man, for one man, but it is all the people in between that may find benefits amongst its words too. Like Jesus, author Philip Tenorio communicates through parables, stories, and relatable experiences. He plants a seed within our minds and hearts that is watered chapter after chapter. Not afraid to be vulnerable, readers are shown Philip’s own struggles. Whether raising his twins, struggling with addiction, divorce, and healthy outlets, and even being persuaded to farm on their small property, “40 Ways” was an uplifting, insightful, and gracious read. Philip found the power of service to be the fix he needed to begin turning his life around. Through his missions, helping others, and finding a closeness to God, he shares his own path. Beginning with Secret Angel projects, Philip starts to understand the love, unity, and hope his service provides. As he branches out to Samaritan’s Purse, Philip’s service takes him close to home, traveling south, assisting in Ukraine, passing out gifts, and more. Through Samaritan’s Purse he’s gained training and experiences that have left profound changes in him, as well as those he met and aided along the way. The community, power of prayer, and the way people came together, through Philip’s experiences, have left me with a restored faith in humanity. As “40 Ways” points out, there are many references to the number 40 throughout the Bible. But it is Philip’s 40th birthday that plants new life in him, and he uses his perspicacity to seed readers, showing us grace and stewardship through his life-giving words and perspective

Reviewer, For The Love Of The Page Blog

Philip, a friend I’ve known for several years through a weekly men’s Bible study, embodies his faith in every aspect of his life. His unwavering commitment to kindness, humility, and grace is evident in his actions. He is always ready to serve, whether through small gestures or significant sacrifices for Samaritan’s Purse. His generosity and genuine desire to help others reflect his strong Christian character. Philip’s compassion and deep faith give him remarkable strength and resilience in challenging situations. He honors God by trusting in His guidance and seeking Godly counsel which sustains him through life’s ups and downs. In essence, Philip is a living example of living as a disciple of Christ, not striving for perfection but making steady progress. His life inspires me to live more faithfully and with greater love. I am grateful to have him as a friend.

I first encountered Philip at an American General Contractors Association gathering where he delivered a heartfelt speech, openly sharing his faith in God. This sincerity drew me to him as a friend. As our friendship blossomed, we formed a deep bond both through our shared passion for endurance sports and on a spiritual level, as we navigated the challenges of divorce and raising children as single fathers. It was this spiritual connection, especially through our children, that allowed us to experience and feel God’s love in the father-child relationship, which ultimately led us to the 1love movement. This movement was first inspired by Philip’s daughter, who experienced a “Marley Moment” during a father-daughter ski trip. It was a profound sense of reassurance that everything would be okay, as she was being cared for by a selfless person or God. We aspired to capture this essence of selfless love for others, so they too could have “Marley Moments” when a kind stranger offers help without expecting anything in return. I am truly grateful to have a friend like Philip, who has so generously given to his family, friends, and strangers alike, without any expectation of reciprocity. I hope we can all emulate this example and contribute to our community with love and kindness, without seeking anything in return. Thank you, Philip, for leading by example.

My name is Mike Haynes, I am blessed to have the capacity to be the Chaplin of Ike Cole VFW Post 3370 in McIntosh NM. The reason I am writing this email is to give a Testimonial pertaining to Phillip Tenorio as a person and to support his book 40 Ways. It’s not every day that you come across someone such as Philip. When we first met, Philip was dispatched to some natural disaster that pertained to flooding somewhere. Even though Philip knew what God had planned for his future, he still took time away from this matter to assist our VFW POST in many different areas. During every aspect of our lives, God allowed us to discuss the power of a Sovereign God. As his time drew closer to deployment, Philip and I prayed daily for Grace of God to be more than sufficient for his spiritual needs during this moment for he and the personnel that deployed with him. During his operation, he and I had a dialog about the Holy Spirit and how it is ever present for usage any time his creation asks in and through the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. I give God the glory for using a vessel such as Philip to bring to light the power of a Sovereign God and the spiritual guidance through Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that all the blessings God has to offer be granted into Philip ‘s behalf as husband book goes public to be a written Testimony of the power of a Sovereign God and the freedom to be anything that God needs to Glorify His Kingdom. Continue to charge forward Philip, and I pray that you and your book go forward. Never forget that as a child of God, continue to pray up to stay up. I love you, brother. Your brother in Christ.

I have known Philip for over 30 years. He is a man of integrity and deep faith. His desire to serve our Lord extends far beyond mere words. He loves his family, serves his community, gives of himself in assisting regions devastated by natural disasters all with a spirit of humility recognizing that this is what God made him to do. I pray “40 Ways” is an avenue for others to embrace a life of faith, service and trust in our Lord.
