Hello from Manila,

ahh yes a job well done

ahh yes a job well done

Things are somewhat back to normal after the flood, especially for us here at the Mission Center.  We still have many guests coming & going all the time which keeps us busy.

We have completed 7 queen size bedspreads and 13 twins size out of all that fabric we showed in a previous update.  We are also working on reupholstering furniture.  With 34 guest rooms there is lots of furniture to make, refinish, recover, etc.

What in the world does this have to do with Church planting, the Gospel and Bible translation?  It shows that (more…)

MANILA HIT BY DELUGE

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Authorities in Manila were scrambling Monday to prevent the spread of disease in flood-ravaged Manila.crossing the current to get home

Tropical storm Ketsana besieged the Philippines capital city and nearby provinces with a nine-hour deluge that left some places under 20 feet of water. It is said to be the heaviest rainfall since 1967.

“NTM’s leaders in the Philippines reported. “Relief operations are under way across the city with many missions and individual missionaries involved.”

Several thousand people were rescued from rooftops and stranded cars. At last report, the government estimates there are more than 435,000 people displaced and at least 140 dead, with the death toll expected to rise as the flooding subsides.

The houses of several NTM missionaries were flooded. Belongings were destroyed or washed away, and vehicles were submerged. However, none were reported injured and all of those who were in precarious situations are now safe.

Pray that NTM missionaries can be a blessing to those who have lost loved ones and property.

…full into ministry

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

giving Bibles to those who work with us at the mission center

We are full into the ministry at the Martin Burnham Mission Center. We have been hosting missionaries that arrived back into the country and are preparing to move into a village to learn the language, help the people physically and most importantly teach them God’s Word. There has also been medical needs among some missionaries, Interns arriving from other missions, work to be done on our building, needs among those who live near us and plenty of hot weather to get used to, every day.

On another Island where some of our missionaries are serving 43 Bible teachers attended a teachers’ seminar. The new and veteran teachers have shown true commitment and desire to take God’s Word to their people in other villages.

-Pray for our strength as there are times we feel lacking.
-Pray for those who attended the teachers seminar that they will not get side tracked but have many opportunities to preach the gospel in many villages.
-Pray for Brianna, she needs to take Mid-term exams from Lenape so she can receive credit.  Also pray for her knee that the extra bone growth that has caused her pain and restricted activity will desolve away.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS, SUPPORT AND WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THE PHILIPPINES!

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds ” (Hebrews 10:23-24, nasb).
