How can you pray?

To finish out the summer, here are a few ways you can pray for our continuing ministry here in the Butuan area of the Philippines:

1. As we leave in a few days, please pray for Kuya (Brother) Bong as he has many ministry areas to cover as we leave. He definitely has a full plate of work to do, so pray that God blesses his follow-up. 

2. Going along with the first, pray that Kuya Bong would have people help him in his ministry and that he wouldn't be alone. 

3. Pray for those who never made a commitment to God while we were here but that they would always remember what was shared with them and that soon they would give themselves to God forever.

4. For those struggling with the issue of baptism, may they see the importance of being baptized and not let it stand in the way of their relationship with God. May it only increase the relationship and fortify it.

5. For believers in E.G. Montilla who need organization and maybe a place of worship. Pray they would gather together each week to worship God whether they have a church building or not. If they feel led to build a church, may God enable them to do it quick and grow in number.

6. Just offer a prayer of thanks for all our translators this summer—Bong, Balong, Vonn, Arlin, Jael, Jemil, and Cha. 

7. Pray for the local pastors in each area, that they would also help follow up with contacts we made and continue to disciple people.
