The Carders

We are in total lockdown again!

The mayor’s office issued an executive order to put the entire island of Romblon in to ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine)!

It is due to an outbreak of COVID-19 in the main town. 46 individuals have been isolated in the town’s clinic. They have been in contact with one local teacher that reportedly died from COVID-19.  So far it has been reported that 2 individuals have died. However, it is hard for us to distinguish what the facts are and what is assumption.  The entire island is in panic mode, please pray!

According to the ECQ mandate, Karen & I (age 60+) are NOT allowed to leave our house until further notice. However, one of us can go to town for food & medicine, if need to…

Sadly, all in-person ministry activities (Kid’s Club & Bible Studies) had to be suspended.  The Coffee Shop in town also closed, even that we are allowed to serve “take out” items.  We just don’t want to risk it!

Please pray for everybody’s safety!

And, also, please continue to pray for:

⚑ the audio dubbing of “King of Glory” into the Tagalog language

⚑ God to open the hearts of men and women for the gospel in our village

⚑ strength and continued health

⚑ our PH Visa renewal to go smoothly

⚑ income at the Coffee Shop, a livelihood program, closed due to COVID-19 cases in town

We are in the clear!  Thank you LORD!

Typhoon “Goni” went further north than predicted and we experienced only moderate rain & wind!  The day after, the sun came out…
