Dear Friends and Family!
We got our airline tickets to the US, Praise the LORD!
The schedule of our FIRST furlough back to the US is, that we fly out from Manila to New York City, JFK, on April 6th, to stay at CMML, to then make our way to Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Northern Ontario Canada, Vancouver BC, and, Lord willing, to San Francisco…We are planning to fly back to the Philippines the first week of July…Please pray that the LORD will arrange all the details!
We are planning to distribute rice and Gospel literature before we leave on our furlough, as we had wonderful responses from the recent 2 ones. We are praying for 2 more Bible studies, since some folks from or village expressed interest in such…
The translation work of William MacDonald’s BELIEVER’S BIBLE COMMENTARY is going well, and we shipped some copies of the “Community Readability Check” version of the Gospel of John, chapters 1-6, to assemblies in Bicol! We are praying for more translators, as it is indeed a large job!
Also, the LORD graciously provided funds for Bibles, and we just go a box of 25 Tagalog ones! Praise the LORD! It is such a blessing!
Please continue to pray for:
- Current weekly Bible studies
- The Lord to establish 2 more Bibles studies
- Constructive & rich feedback from the community about the translation quality
- More Filipino translators
- Our furlough April 6th – June, 2016
Thanks for praying with us and for us!
In Him!
Patrick & Karen
