Ministries Moving Forward

Warm Greetings from Manila, Philippines!

Life on this side of the world has been very busy, which is good, because God is doing many wonderful things through our labors. 

We just completed a leadership forum for which we hosted about 33 of our missionaries (plus their families).  The purpose of the forum was to brain storm  topics such as; how can we strengthen and broaden our partnerships with the local churches in the Philippines so as to effectively reach the more isolated people groups with the Gospel – Great Topic! 

We also had the privilege of hosting some of the staff of the OM Ship, “LOGOS HOPE”, they needed a place to stay while they were in Manila buying supplies and parts for the ship which is currently  “dry docked” a fews hours from Manila in Subic Bay.  You can see a video of the ship entering the dry dock at: http://www.omships.org/

We are now preparing for our next round of visitors, a team of Doctors from Toronto, Canada.  They will be using our mission center as their home base as they share the love of Jesus through their medical outreaches.

These are just a few of the things happening in and through our ministry.

We know God is ultimately the one who gives us what we need to continue to serve Him in the Philippines. We also know He uses people like YOU, as you pray for the ministry, as you give to help fund the ministry, and as you encourage us in many ways.  God allows all of us together to be His hands and feet to a lost and dieing World, THANK YOU SO MUCH!


2011, thank you LORD!

teaching God's word

teaching God's word

As we approach the end of 2011 this letter comes to you with our hearts overflowing with thankfulness!  Another year of ministry together which brought about lives being transformed by the power of the Gospel. God is at work and He is using you to reach every tribe, tongue and nation.

God is doing exciting things in the Philippines. The Manobo New Testament is now printed in two different dialects and the Manobo churches are sending out their own missionaries! In another remote village and completely different language, missionaries have begun evangelistic Bible lessons. Over the past year four new missionary families have moved into three different villages to begin learning the language and customs of the tribe so they can one day teach God’s Word to these precious souls for whom Christ died.

In Manila, at the Mission Center, we have seen God put together a great team to run the center in our absence and keep the “hub” of mission activity running smoothly.

Back in June 2011, our “Home Assignment” started off with an amazing meeting at  Fellowship Alliance Chapel.  Debbie and I gave an update on our ministry in the Philippines and then we were followed by Gracia Burnham. She humbly shared God’s amazing work in and through her life.

Debbie and I will be returning to the Philippines in January 2012. We will be leaving our three precious children in the USA. Our “home assignment” has been a refreshing time for us as we have had an opportunity to share in person with many of you all that God is doing. It is so encouraging for us to see your enthusiastic interest in our lives and ministry.

Speaking of our three precious children; Eddie, Ashley and Brianna are really doing well as they all desire to obey and follow God with their lives.

Eddie continues his studies at Philadelphia Biblical University to serve the Lord in youth ministry.

 

Ashley serves  as an in-flight medic and unofficially as a “ Chaplain” to many.

Brianna is attending New Tribes Bible Institute’s two year Bible program and is serving with the high school youth at a local church in Milwaukee. She is putting into practice the things she is learning.

We are thankful for your partnership in our ministry. It takes a team, and without you we could not continue to serve in the Philippines.

 

 

Somewhat back to normal

ahh yes a job well done

Things are somewhat back to normal after the flood, especially for us here at the Mission Center.  We still have many guests coming & going all the time which keeps us busy.

We have completed 7 queen size bedspreads and 13 twins size out of all that fabric we showed in a previous update.  We are also working on reupholstering furniture.  With 34 guest rooms there is lots of furniture to make, refinish, recover, etc.

What in the world does this have to do with Church planting, the Gospel and Bible translation?  It shows that (more…)
