Hello to all our dear friends around the world!
We pray that you are blessed, and that you will be inspiried as you read about our Ministry Update!
In 2020 we decided to leave the USA and move back to the southern Philippines, where my wife is from.
After coming here we needed to build a small home (around 500 square feet) and plant an orchard and garden, partially because organic food in this part of the country is unheard of. But the main reason is “that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17. This will be a very serious issue when it comes to pass, and with all that has been happening it is not hard to see that it could happen in the near future.
Over the last 3 years since we moved here, we have been praying and asking God about what to do with the church and ministry here. Whether we should repair it or rebuild in some better place. The photo above is where we are now. We removed the roof because it was full of holes and the lumber is all rotten. Now we are planning to have someone cut the lumber for us so the 2 men in the photo, Mardel and Ading, can start replacing the roof. We also need to do much more remodeling as is readily seen in the photo below.
We also are planning to set up a small publishing center where we can fulfill Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Here is a list of helps that we are in need of:
1: We are in need of much prayer.
2: We need an evangelist that is also willing to be self sustaining, meaning willing to grow his own & his family’s food. We are getting busier by the week. So we need prayer for God to send workers, His workers! If you feel that you might want to join in any way please email me, I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. A comment below would let me know to check my email! (Paul says: A good wife and obedient children are a requirement) This man and/or woman would be expected to be able to preach and teach, or willing to learn how. We have some experience, but more would be nice. But it is not required! A new heart is!
3. We need literature. We are working on retranslating the covenants so we can start printing for the public. If you have suggestions for more questions please post in the comments below. Thanks!
4. We need people who can translate to any of the local languages, it is worthless unless the people can read it. We are able to translate into Bisaya (the most common local language) and Tagalog, but only slowly because the only person that is available is Sheila, the mother of two, Edson 9 and Savannah 5. So when things become available we will be posting them here.
5. If anyone would like to help us establish this ministry we would be very grateful. If you want to email me here or message me or my wife on Facebook messenger international donations can be sent to her.
Many Thanks and God Bless!
