It's the final stretch!

Here we are in the final week here in the Philippines. This will be one of the most difficult weeks yet.

Some are ready to go, while others wish this was just the beginning and they could stay longer. The teams know they are all on their final week, and are prepared to do all they can to glorify God in this last week.

The Devil knows he only has this last week to do all he can to hinder our ministry. He is prepared to pull out all the stops to keep us from doing God's will. He has already begun his final attack.
Talking to his family online in the hospital
On the Filter team, one of the members, Andrew, became sick Saturday morning with some stomach problems. He was taken to the hospital and had to stay over night to be monitored. The members of his team, as well as the Habitat team and myself visited him. He was prayed for numerous times by his visitors. Sunday he was able to leave the hospital and return to his team to finish the present race God has set before him.
So as you can see the enemy has some tricks up his sleeves, but we have God on our side so we WILL NOT be defeated. Pray for the teams as we finish out. Pray that we will continue to lean on God and not let the enemy get a foothold in our lives. This is the part where your job is most important in our ministry. Your prayer is needed, Don't let up now. Pray Continuously.
