The Higaunon ask for prayer…

Posted by Lance and Laura Ostman on Sunday, May 1st, 2011

Dear partners in ministry!

First of all, thank you all so much for praying for us. Many of you have shared with us that you pray daily. That is so humbling! Thanks also to all of you who give to us so we can do what we do.

There are a couple things we need you to pray for.

First some background on the first request:
Kabuhayon is the tribal word for “LIFE” and usually means “eternal life” – it’s something the spirits promised them in their old culture but of course were never able to give them.

Now however, they have found “Kabuhayon” through believing the good news of Jesus Christ and His finished work on Calvary.

“My husband Monsing was the first one to go to another village to teach the message of eternal life.

“He learned from the missionaries how to teach and they gave him pictures and the stories in Higaunon. Monsing went to a village, a 2 day journey away and he was able to teach there often.

“After a while though he started getting visits from insurgents in that area who threatened to kill him if he did not stop teaching. Quite a lot of people were turning to the Lord and they did not like losing their followers. Monsing himself had been one of them before he turned to the Lord.

“Monsing really loved to teach the Gospel and he would not stop because of their threats. In 1985 they killed Monsing but the church there kept growing.”
