The Carders

We are thankful to be home after being stranded in Manila for 4 weeks, and, thank you so much for praying for this!

We are gearing up to give out food packages to about 20 families in our village around the 10th of December and the LORD graciously provided funds for it.  Praise Him!  We are so thankful to the LORD that He is allowing us to minister the folks here in Calabogo!

Also, the LORD added another lady, Reza, to our Bible study group this week and the LORD provided funds to buy more Bibles!  Praise Him!

In addition, please pray for Jennie, Denia and Barbara.  Jennie is British, Denja is a Filipina from Italy, and Barbara is Australian.  Karen spends time with all of them on-and-off, and Jennie comes to our Sunday Bible School and claims to know the Lord, but her life tells a different story.  We are praying for a one-on-one Bible study with each of them.  Pray for this and mainly, pray for their salvation!

The translation team is working their way through the Gospel of John and Patrick is working intensely on the mobile platform module creation, despite his low energy levels.  Also, the team is planning to release a “community check” version of John Chapter 1, on the mobile platform and also as a spiral bound edition, to key people in our communities.  We hope and pray for good and constructive feedback, and also new opportunities for Bible studies through this effort.

We are praying for more Filipinos to help us translate Bill’s Commentary in to Tagalog, for it is a big job.  Please pray with us for this matter!

Please continue to pray for:

• the weekly Bible studies

• the LORD to add more folks to the Bible study groups

• a one-on-one Bible study with Jennie, Denia and Barbara

• the purchase of more Tagalog Bibles (“Ang  Biblia 2001 Edysion”)

• the translation work of the Believer’s Bible Commentary

• the LORD to provide more Filipino translators

• the upcoming food distribution to our village Dec. 10th
• the vandalism to our water line to stop (occurred twice since we got back)
