We are proud of the new missionaries who are entering the field between now and June.    They are very brave young men heading into the tribal areas of Mindanao.    It is very likely that they will face, at the very least, some strong resistance to the gospel, and more probably they will face outright persecution.    They will encounter various unreached tribal groups with different religious traditions, as well as the rebel armies that inhabit the mountainous regions there.    

Please join us in praying for their success and safety.  And please, prayerfully consider helping us to support them.     We, who are so blessed, can help them a great deal with a small monthly amount. 

 We are also in the process of building a very basic dormitory for The Tribal Missions Training Center in The Philippines so the new students will no longer have to sleep on the floor of the church.  Please pray about helping us help them to carry out their Mission and Call from God!

God bless you all!

GRADUATION!

Just returned home from a trip to The Philippines.   Spoke there to the new graduates from the tribal mission training school.  They just finished 10 grueling months of missionary training.  Of the eleven graduates, 8 will come under our wing and plant churches among the tribal peoples of Mindanao.   Please join us in regular prayer for these brave young men as they go out to answer the call of God!

We were also greatly blessed to have the opportunity to visit with the outreach team working among the badjao people.  the photo above is from our visit there to the village on the water.  Help us also to pray for the badjao people of The Philippines and also pray for our mission team there - pray for their success and safety.  Some of the Badjao women have come to know the Lord - please pray for more souls to be saved among these beautiful people!
