Prieto Diaz

We had been lazy and we knew it.  As we sat in the house, in the beginning of another week, we realized that we lacked prayer.  So we got together, broken and repentant, and prayed for a more effective week than the first two had been.  When the team got back together, we rejoiced.  Repentance and discouragement turned into rejoicing and excitement.  And in the following days God opened up more than a handful of doors.  The gospel keeps moving.






Donsol Team - Agta






            We arrived in country on June 7, and on our ministry site June 10.  Our first location was a barangay called Ogod.  We spent 18 days as guest of the Niones family, where Mr. & Mrs. Niones live with their two sons, daughter, son & daughter-in-law, and their 5 grandchildren.  The entire family belongs to a cult called Iglesia ni Cristo, which is spread throughout the Philippines.  It is very difficult to reach out to the members of this cult because of their strong resistence to change.  We have spoken to many INC members and their doctrine strongly contradicts Biblical teaching.
            Despite our encounters with INC, we know that God still moves here.  We pray that the hearts of the people of these communities will be open to hear what God has to say from His Word.  Pray with us for the residents of Donsol, that they will hear and believe Truth.

Meet the Teams: Agta

Introducing the Agta teams! Both groups will be in the Bicol region of the Philippines living among the Agta tribal group. They will lead Bible studies, do general evangelism, and help the Agta people with whatever work they can. They're excited to share life with the Agta tribe for 8 weeks!

The Agta teams ask that you pray for the Lord to open doors and for the people to be receptive to the gospel.
