Dear praying Friends and Family!
We had quite the challenges re-entering our island after being kept in the USA for 1.5 years due to COVID restrictions. It felt like we were starting up from scratch again. Our car and bikes did not run when we arrived, as major repairs were needed, but the LORD got it all done for us! The car still needs some more repairs and we are waiting for parts to arrive from Manila.
We have the coffee shop in town as a livelihood project, and for discipling young women, along with baking- and serving skills. And also use it for evangelism, as God gives opportunity with customers. But recently we’ve had some heartbreak with promiscuity by one young woman, hurting this ministry immensely. So we had to close temporarily. Pray for a new staff, and opportunities for repentance, as we continue to encourage this young woman at fault.
Patrick is still working on the “King of Glory” movie in Filipino and has created a public share for it to be downloaded. We hope & pray that many will download it and use it for the Glory of the King!
He also is continuing to work on the “Believer’s Bible Commentary” in Filipino to provide more modules in several other formats. He has published the completed modules, including the PDF, for public download a few weeks ago.
We continue our verse memory club, that has touched on about 180 kids, and we pray for their salvation, as they hide many gospel verses, including whole chapters of Romans, in their hearts. It’s been amazing to see this club grow over the last 8 years, despite all the COVID restrictions. The numbers are down though, but we are confident that the Lord will build it back up…
Please pray for
⚑ the Bible Verse Memory club to grow again
⚑ the evangelistic efforts in town
⚑ the coffee shop to open again, new staff
⚑ the King of Glory Movie in Tagalog to be spread thru out the Philippines
⚑ the Believer’s Bible Commentary in Tagalog –
remaining modules to be completed
Thanks for praying with us and for us!
In His Love,
Patrick and Karen
