Hello to all of our family, friends and faithful supporters. We are believing that all is well in your lives and that you are enjoying spring.
We’ll the first part of our vision is becoming a reality. We started building our chapel in Sitio Panas, Barangay Bilibol, Maasin City, Southern Leyte. The project is currently about 90% completed.
We will conduct evangelistic campaigns for three nights beginning on May 10th. Then we will conduct Evangelistic Bible Studies with the new contacts from May 11th to May 15th. We will have our chapel dedication and we are believing water baptisms on May 17th.
When I say “we” I mean that trained volunteers from various local churches will stay with us in Panas for one week and they will acquire contacts and then they will conduct the bible studies.
We are also still taking my mother in law to see doctors in Ormoc City for her broken leg. The operation was performed but it has been a slow healing process. The bones and muscles are not healing as quickly as they should; please keep her in your prayers! They doctors have changed her medicine and we are praying that this will help with her healing.
We received several LBC boxes from our supporters in Washington and Oregon. It is truly a blessing when we receive this support. It does lift our spirits to know that people are praying and supporting us. Sometimes in the busyness of our ministry we tend to think that we are on an island alone (we are on an island but not alone).
We also received another LBC box from Edwin L. Hodges Ministries. The box was full of bibles, study books and various teaching materials. This is such a great blessing because these materials are so needed here and most people cannot afford to purchase even a basic bible.
We continue to support various fellowships. We attended the following fellowships: 9th men’s fellowship on March 6th & 7th in Tigbao; the 9th General fellowship on April 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in Baybay City; and the 2nd Children’s fellowship on May 1st in Anahawan. We also attended the 39th Anniversary of the Anahawan Assembly of God Church. It is truly a blessing to fellowship we the local brethren in the Philippines.
Our vision for the purchase of property for Tower of Refuge Ministry is still alive in our hearts and prayers. We continue to pray for property and the funds for that property so that we may have a permanent home for Tower of Refuge Ministries.
We ask that you continue to pray not only for us and the Philippine people but for all of those throughout the world who are doing God’s work. Pray for their safety and provision for their ministries!
We also invite you to check out our Facebook page. As time allows we will be posting new pictures and videos.
