School is over and we’ve entered the season of graduations! Every student with passing grades is celebrated in a moving up ceremony. This is a great opportunity for us to meet the families of our teenagers. We also witnessed the graduation of the senior class we taught this year in the public school. We were so thankful for the opportunity to share Christ and His Word with them! As for next year, God has already answered our prayers! The principal asked if we could teach more classes this coming school year!

Divine Appointments!
Categories: Updates, Tags: Church-Plants, Outreach
I love it when unique things happen and it’s clear that God just did something that only He can do! I was running errands around Cebu City one day and happened to meet the Mayor of Ubay. Ubay is a city on Bohol Island where, the Suico family, one of our own missionaries live. In fact, my family and I have been assisting them as they remodel their church and reach out to the community. I had a great talk with the Mayor and so the next time I was in Ubay, Pastor Rackson and I, visited him. Because the Mayor remembered our earlier meeting, we had no problem making an appointment. Pastor Rackson invited him to join their special services and we were able to plant seeds of the Gospel! I am grateful for this divine appointment and for the Lord’s work in our lives! Please pray that this man will be saved!
Youth Sunday 2018
This year, Youth Sunday was a blessing in a brand new way! Our young people have grown so much in these past couple of years and it was wonderful to see! Before, we always had jeepney rides to pick up visitors. Well, with our church jeep on the brink of death :) that wasn’t possible but that didn’t stop our teens from bringing people to church! Some of them even paid for their visitor’s commute. Before the decorating was always done by the staff and my family. This time we had about ten young people volunteer to help. Several teens even witnessed to visitors who had questions about salvation. The youth group blew us away with their hard work and faithfulness! And God blessed their efforts; about 11 visitors were saved!
Prayer Request!
When we first came to the Philippines, Ate Sheila and her children were one of the first families we invited to church. Now 6 years later, we have watched her and several of her children receive Christ as their Savior! For years now, she has prayed that her husband would be saved too! Just recently, he requested to have a Bible Study in their home. Pray for me as I try to share Christ with him each Saturday. He is asking some wonderful questions and has even invited some of his friends to join us. Just this week, all three of them came to our men’s fellowship at the church! Please pray for Poppa Timario! Pray that he would consider Christ and find salvation in Him!
