Ed & Nick taking the team on a local tour

Mission Teams, veteran missionaries, new missionaries, pastors, teachers, evangelists, seminar leaders, families, just to name a few have all kept the Martin Burnham Mission Center buzzing with activity almost nonstop. One of those mission teams was a group of law enforcement officers from mostly California who came and ministered to the National & local law enforcement officials here in Manila. Ed and Nick were able to take them on a tour around some of the poor sections surrounding the Mission Center. It was a great opportunity to meet some of our local officials.
Along with all the guests and teams coming through we have had some bigger projects to coordinate in the midst of the exciting ministry activity. One of the projects that we have just completed was connecting our two buildings with a hallway. Lucas and his father-in-law, Roy, did most of the work on this wonderful new addition.
Another big and ongoing project is the re-surfacing of the older Guesthome building. The building has a cement and pebble finish (about 30 years old) which is coming off the face of the building and some chunks have already fallen, so we are removing the bad areas and replacing it with new.
Of course there is always the need for the general maintenance, like washing machine repairs, fixing emergency lights, the water filter system, and ice machine repair(just to name a few)
Please pray for safety for the workers we have here to do the re-facing of the older building.
Debbie’s mom needs to wait for more tests since she is having other physical issues before they can take care of the heart valve. This is stressful for all of us. Pray for peace and calmness as she awaits more tests and then the results.
Please continue to pray for the mission center, we are here to assist missionaries as they continue to evangelize, disciple and plant churches. Praise the Lord another people group is currently being taught God’s Word in their heart language – The Brook’s Point Palawanos.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of the ministry with us!

Hard to tell time according to the seasons

It is hard for us as North Americans to tell time according to the seasons here in the Philippines.  There are no leaves changing color and the weather stays quite warm year round.  We do however associate time on who has been at the Mission Center or what events have taken place such as  seminars and training gatherings.  We have been jam packed with lots of events and mission teams coming and going.  There has been about one seminar per week with most having over 150 participants in attendance.

These conferences have all been for training of local Christian workers, pastors, etc.  Just this past Sunday morning we had two mission teams depart for their places of ministry, one was from Australia and the other from Hawaii.  We are amazed at all the various ministries we get to support through the Mission Center and because YOU are willing to support us we can continue to serve over here in the Philippines.

Our daughter Ashley recently arrived here in the Philippines and is now with the mission team from Hawaii continuing on a building project and serving the local people (mostly children) in a different part of the Philippines.  Ashley is so happy to be back in the Philippines, not only because we are here but because she loves the Philippines and the people over here.

Brianna is recovering nicely from the surgery she had on September 11th.  We praise the Lord for the wonderful medical care she received here and we want you all to know that the hospital, the doctors and all the medical staff were top notch. Thank you for praying!

Please pray for us as we have the constant pressures of keeping this wonderful facility the Lord has allowed us to care for running smoothly.

Pray for Ashley and the mission team she is with to have many opportunities to serve others and share the Gospel.

Pray for Brianna as she is really working hard in school, this is her senior year and also pray for her as she takes the SAT on Saturday Oct. 9th .

Thank you so very much for the huge part you play in all that God is doing throughout the Philippines, you really encourage us through your love, prayers and support!

ahh yes a job well done

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…)

AWAYO From Fear To Faith

Posted by Ed and Debbie Jurimas on Tuesday, October 6th, 2009


In the remote corners of the world, people groups have existed for generations.
They live in fear of the spirits.
They die without hope.
This is Awayo’s story.
