Divine Appointments!

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!

Answered Prayer!

Here’s an excerpt from our last prayer letter, in case you missed this blessing!

Great news from Bantayan Island! The Lord has given them a church building! Families from Pastor Walter’s bible study came together and built a bamboo church building on their property. Others donated rocks for the church floor. During my visit in June, I was so blessed to see the work and help with the roofing. Thank you for praying for this church plant! This is another big step for them and we are so excited to watch God grow this ministry!

We went to see our friends, the Langbid family at Bantayan.  We’ve been so blessed by what God is doing through their family on the island!  People have been saved, baptized, and joined Bible studies. One thing is becoming clear-they need a church building! Please pray that God would provide an affordable rental property for them to meet in. It is so exciting to watch this ministry grow!  God is at work, and we are so happy to help this church plant!

As Faith Increases!

Again, we have watched God increase the faith of His people! It was that time of year again…missions month! This year North Cebu Baptist Church needed to come together to support their missionaries like never before-with no American help!  Pastor Elbern and I were praying for about Ph25,000. That would cover all the missionaries they already support and give them a little room to increase their giving. But when the time came, God did a miracle! The people raised Ph32,000 for missions!  Our hearts rejoice to see God continue to increase the faith of His people!
