Saying "Hey" from Impact Cebu

Its crazy to think it is already July 7th here in Cebu! SO thankful for an incredible team with Luke Carter Jacob Cyler Hudson and Stephen Haynes! Our translators Jester Prado and Grobert are such a blessing to the team! As a team we are challenging each other daily, as iron sharpens iron! Thank you guys for praying! Can't wait to see y'all in August! Sorry for short update! Limitied time today!

What a week we have had! Leaving the place we have been for 4 weeks now but God has done so much in this place and going to continue to do! only a few more weeks here in Cebu but so excited to be here. The numbers are incredible here of what God has done. We have had 61 professions of faith, and 469 seeds planted just a few numbers here so far. Thanks for the prayers and continue them please as we wind down the summer.
-Luke

"I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given. The task of testifying to the Gospel of God's Grace."  Acts 20:24
 

Today is bitter sweet, we left the village we've been in for the last 27 days and had to say bye to all of the people we've been able to build relationships with in this short period of time. I'm definitely going to miss all the smiles and eyebrow raises we exchange riding on our motors through the mountain. But in my sadness there is rejoicing. I can rejoice in all the things God has done and what He will continue to do while we are gone. He has allowed us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with MANY people! And a total of 61 people have indicated they put their faith in Jesus Christ too! Thank you for the prayers, they are being answered everyday. 

Also, please keep praying that house churches will be started, we all know how important it is to have a family of believers to share burdens with and to encourage us when we are struggling. I also pray that you are encouraged to share with the people you are interacting with everyday. Like Paul in Acts 22, we should proclaim the Gospel like it's the last time we will see them ever again. Keep praying kingdom prayers U.S.A!
