Cross-Pollination

Beehive Activity

Plants produce fruit once they have been pollinated. This spring we have been cross-pollinating with churches; sharing how we do ministry in the Philippines, and learning from them as well. We have also spent quality time with fellow church planters, swapping stories of God’s faithfulness, and building each other up for the work before us.

Making a Beeline

If you are awake early on Tuesday mornings, you can pray for our online CPI classes in the Philippines! Daylight hours are filled with preparation for teaching and preaching, scheduling church meetings, correspondence, and managing the finances for the ministry. (Recently, business hours were filled with phone calls to recover from an identity theft incident that included a number of fraudulent bank accounts in our name!) In the evening, we may schedule another internet meeting as the day is beginning in the Philippines.

Producing Honey

Just as bees live to make honey, we live to train church planters in the Philippines. God is helping their churches grow. The Malasiqui church has outgrown their building, but they have not yet been able to save enough funds to purchase property for a new building. This is where all of us can help the Filipino church as they are growing. Would you trust God with us, and pray that He will provide $55,000 for the Malasiqui church, so that they can purchase the property they need for their church?

Hiving Off

The Gerona and Estipona churches worked together to help start the Ramos church. Now the Tagumbao, Gerona and San Jose churches are working together at a new outreach in Barangay Danzo of Gerona.

The Estipona church has opened an outreach to Guimba, Nueva Ecija. Our team is scrambling to find a larger venue for Evangelism Camp in April!

Taste and See

“I thought I understood your ministry,” one supporter said, “Then I watched the video. Now I really understand what you are doing!” You can view it on YouTube: “A Radical Way to Plant Churches in the Philippines.”

God is at work through your faithful prayers and financial support. Thank you for helping us as we train workers to bring the gospel to the Philippines, so that the Filipino people can “taste and see that the Lord is good.”

Servants together,
