It has been two weeks since the Lewis family lost almost all their earthly possessions to a fire. Because of the extensive damage, even their house was lost…the structure that remains is completely unlivable. When the Lewis’ return to Cebu they will have to make a new start. Unfortunately, there was no insurance on the building or their things so the road ahead will be difficult. We don’t have outlets to buy items second hand so replacing them will be very costly. We also ask you to pray as we face opposition from the landlord. The owner of the house is blaming us for the fire and seeking compensation for the damage. The official fire report identified the fire’s cause as electrical and accidental in nature but this has not satisfied the owners. Please pray that God would give us wisdom to handle the situation and that it would be resolved. It was just a few years ago that the typhoon, Haiyan, came through and ravaged the Philippines. Now, we are facing our own personal storm. The destruction has been great but we know God is in control!

We ask all of our friends and supporters to keep the Lewis family- our missionary partners-in your prayers! Yesterday afternoon a fire completely consumed their home. It was an electrical fire that started in the ceiling and spread to the rest of the house. We praise the Lord, it happened in the day and no one was injured. However, everything in the house was destroyed. Appliances, furniture, clothes, books, church storage and paperwork. Everything. Gone. We pray that you would keep Pastor Travis and Miss Angela in your prayers. We don’t understand the Lord’s plan but we are trusting Him through this trial! If you would feel burdened to help them please send any donations to Word for the World, marked Lewis Fire Fund. Our support address is as follows

Another school y
ear has come to an end at Lighthouse Baptist College. I can honestly say that this year has been one of our best! The attitude of our students has been wonderful and it has been so much fun to teach them! This year we had four students complete their one year GIFT Program! The GIFT Program is a course that encourages young people & church members alike to give one year of their life to ground themselves in Biblical principles. Please keep these students in your prayers! All four of them would like to continue their studies and earn their Pastoral/Christian Service Degree!
