Please continue to lift up Mary Asang, our Philippines Director’s Mother, in your prayers. As we told you earlier, she chose not to go to Manila for further tests and to consult with a specialist. Instead she wanted to be at home with her family and trust in the Lord to heal her or take her home to be with Him. Her condition has deteriorated badly and she is back in the hospital in ICU. We know that nothing is too hard for our Jesus. He is still able to heal her and raise her up to continue her lifetime of service unto Him. If her work on Earth is done, He is also well able to take her safely home to be with Him forever. Please cover her with prayer that God will accomplish His purposes and Jesus Christ will be exalted and glorified. Pray also for her family that they will be strengthened in the Lord during this critical time. Pray also that all her medical bills will be provided for. Please pray also for our co-worker Darlene Bolen who ministered so effectively with us on Mindanao. She just returned home after a week in the hospital in Dallas, TX. She is battling cancer. Pray for a complete healing.
As we told you on June 15, God has opened a door of opportunity for us to purchase land in Butuan in northern Mindanao that already has a house on the property that is perfect for a church to be established. We need $700 to purchase the property. The owner wants to sell it to us because he knows we will use it for a church but he will sell it to someone else if we cannot raise the funds we need. Please join us in praying that God will meet the need according to His perfect plan. Blessings!!
GOD LOVES YOU!!!
