How can you pray for us?


No mission is easy, we have learned this to be true. However, every mission is joyful in some way and we learned this to be true as well and we take pleasure in the moments of joy. Our backbones are strong because we sense the presence of prayer from home. People always remind me how they are praying from thousands of miles away and let me tell you—I feel those prayers. God listens to every word spoken and every thought you have about us, so continue your support because we are experiencing your faithfulness to uplift us.

Here is how you can pray specifically:

1. Teams are going to their villages for 2 weeks and need encouragement and boldness every step of the way. Pray that they don't become restless for the 2 weeks.
2. Health is always a concern. Pray for the health of all team members, American and Filipino. If they experiences sickness, may it be mild and not conflict with their ministry.
3. Pray for unity among the group. Satan prowls around on each and everyone of us, trying to tear us apart. Don't let him do such a thing among us as a team. May we be abounding in love.
4. Pray for the people of the village. May they be receptive and encouraged by our ministry. For those who are seeking God, may they find Him and begin their relationship with Him.
5. Ask for patience in our ministry. May we continue in faith even if we don't see fruit or any harvest because they may come at a later time. May we be joyful in what we do accomplish, or rather, what Christ accomplishes through us.
