Filipino Nehemiah Teams: Palawan

The remoteness of the Palawan islands adds to the difficulty of sharing the Gospel

As we prepare and pray for upcoming Nehemiah Teams for this Summer 2015, let us not forget the work God is doing through the Filipino branch of Nehemiah Teams. This upcoming month of April is an exciting time because almost 200 young Filipino believers will follow Christ into the great unknown to share his message of love to those who do not know Him.  I have recently been encouraged by the willingness for Filipino believers to follow Christ in sharing the gospel with their own people, many times facing financial burden, leaving family and friends, and experiencing language barriers by going to areas with which they are not familiar. 

There will be several teams going out from the island of Palawan where the people are no doubt, hard to reach. One team will be serving in Agutaya where the people have just recently received the New Testament in their language; however, many of them still need a messenger to come help them understand it. Another team will be ministering to Cousins in Rizal where intermarriage with non-cousins have made people open to hearing the Truth.

Pray for:

* those people of Palawan who will soon be hearing the message of the gospel for the first time, that they would have open hearts ready to accept

* for those going to be able to raise financial support for living expenses on Palawan

* for travel safety to and from their ministry areas

* for many opportunities to share and lead Bible studies while they are on the field

* these teams as they go out, that they would grow in their walk with The Lord and be bold witnesses for Christ
