You probably heard it in the news: the south part of the Philippines, Mindanao, is under MARTIAL LAW!
ABS/CBN reports: “…President Rodrigo Duterte on 10 p.m. Tuesday declared martial law in the entire Mindanao island amid the ongoing clashes between government troops and Maute group terrorists in Marawi City…”, and He added “…the government is in full control of the situation and is fully aware that the Maute/ ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) and similar groups have the capability, though limited, to disturb the peace…”. The president also said in a local TV interview, that he will “…put the entire country under Marshall law, if terrorist should make it to Luzon (ie. the main island, metro area)…”.
How does that affect us?
At this point in time we see no effect here on our island, but we are conscious & aware of the situation. The only thing to do right now is to pray for the people in Mindanao, especially the missionaries located there, and for us & the continuance of our ministry here…
May the LORD protect and guide!
Also, please continue to pray for the following:
⚑ Children’s Summer Bible Memory Club (DVBS)
⚑ Weekly Women’s Bible Study
⚑ Translation of Bill Macdonalds’ Believer’s Bible Commentary in to Filipino
⚑ Translation of KING OF GLORY
Thanks for praying with us and for us!
In Him,
Patrick & Karen
