Dear Prayer Partners in Christ,

Greetings to all of you! We praise the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for His gracious care and provisions

for us in the past year and we are trusting that this year 2020, we will see more of His wondrous works

manifested in our lives and ministries.

2019 was indeed a blessing and a challenge for us. After the vacation Bible school and saw a fruitful

blessing with the kids. With additional children attending our Sunday School and had new children center

opened Saturday for our visitation.

June- Church Anniversary

We celebrated our 8th year Anniversary. It has been 8 years of God’s goodness and amazing grace in his

ministry! Looking back will always bring us joy and tears of how the Lord is good to us. It was a celebration of his

bountiful blessings not only the material things we see but most especially the spiritual things he has given us!

Along with the celebration we had visitors who came to know our Lord and Saviour Christ.

July – September

Our children center has been increased now to 34 centers every Saturday. We try to organize our

children center not only to teach them Bible stories but disciple them too. Every Saturday we are averaging with

600+ kids from 12 different villages.

Youth Fellowships

October – December

We were able to prepare and do our Gift giving to our children center. As all children are excited for

gifts during Christmas. We made up a small program by sharing them stories from the Bible, let them play games

and feed them their favorite food “spaghetti” with toys. We thank you for helping us putting up a smile to their

faces and showing them God’s love on this season. You are a part of this blessing because you prayed and helped

us!

January 2020

Praising God for another year we planned all our activities for this year so we could pray and prepare for

it. This year we are regularly having our youth night once a month to encourage young people not only to come

to church but to grow and be discipled. To strengthen the young people in church to reach more souls for Christ.

Many of our young people in church has started small groups in schools as well as our adult too! Not only

activities for young people but even for adults too. We also have a Day of Prayer every month just to pray for

activities, ministries, other church concerns and Christians like. We are looking forward for our activities this

year such as our Vacation Bible School, Summer Camp, Missions Conference and many more. More to that

we are excited of what the Lord will be doing in His ministry and seeing more souls to be saved.

February

We had a baptism service from the 3 pastors from the church villages. Pastor Daniel from Bagong

Barrio, Pastor Jayvee Ganelo from Siling Bata, Pastor Marlon from Cacarong and from our church . We praise

God for these new believers and pray that they would continue to grow for the Lord. The young people were able

to attend a banquet and had fellowship from different churches. We had some young people who were able to

attend a Christian banquet for the first time talking not the love of the world but the love of God for them. It was

really a fun time and fellowship. Many of our young people seem to look love in a worldly way and these kind of

banquet will really make them understand that the Lord has a plan for each and every young people.

March

This month we are already preparing for our Youth Camp that was scheduled on April 5-8. But because of

the COVID-19 pandemic we will reschedule it after the virus is gone. Our goal is for these young people to realize

and learn that the goal in their Christian lives is to be conformed unto the image of Christ. And after that our

highlighted Vacation Bible School will be next inline. Please do continue to pray for us as we prepare and plan for

it. Our goal is to reach 4,000 kids in two weeks and teach them about God! Once again, we are raising $2 for per

kid. This will be use for VBS materials, foods, awards and notebooks as our token to them.

Our volunteers wake up at 4 am everyday and gave their time in our Vacation Bible School. Mothers

cooked for the food, children helped out in cleaning the places and teenagers helped in teaching children.

Behind all the tired bodies for the last two weeks was worth every time we see children and parents believing and

accepting Christ as their Saviour. When we look back with all these success we see God’s goodness and greatness.

We want to thank you all for taking time to pray and help us in our Vacation Bible School. You are a part of what

God has done in the Vacation Bible School. You all are indeed a blessing! To God be the glory!

Update on the Church Building

As you received this message, we temporarily hold the construction of the parsonage. Due to this

Pandemic, the government prohibits us from continuing the work. We are almost ready to do the slab flooring of

the second level of the building. We have decided to make the parsonage bigger than what is the original plan

due to the numbers of the Bible students and Pastors that are living there. We also have young people that we

have adopted living there. Beside the Pandemic we are kind of slow on building the parsonage, some of the

reasons are the skilled workers were often unavailable and the last quarter of last year we had some typhoons.

But as soon as the government allows us to work again we will finish it before the rainy season. Please continue

to pray for more funds for it.

Updates for church planting:

As of now we are preparing and training 2 young men to begin and pioneer two new mission churches. Lord

willing, they will be starting the mission work at the last quarter of the year!

We thank God for another blessing in our family. Asher is turning 3 years old this April 7 while Jemima is turning

5 months pregnant! Please do continue for her health she had a rough first trimester but she is doing a lot better

these days . Praying for good health in our family and to all of us in the midst of all these circumstances.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS IN PRAYING FOR US AND YOUR GENEROSITY

supporting the ministry the Lord has entrusted us. Almost three months ago we have lost support financial from

churches, some have new mission programs and others I really don’t know why. I’m not complaining but rather

so grateful and thankful to them as I am to you. I’m just praying for wisdom and guidance everyday of our lives.

The Lord is making the ministry growing, so I know He will take care of us. Because all along this is not my

ministry, this His ministry and as my very good friend always reminds “HE IS THE SOURCE” God bless you all

and we are praying for you! We love you!

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in

that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6: 10
