Share the news!

Our time here in the Philippines is coming to a close. My team and I are so very thankful for each and everyone of you and for all the prayers that you have sent on our behalf. 

We arrived in Cebu City yesterday (Saturday) from Bohol, the island we transferred to a few weeks ago. We are getting on a plane and flying to Tacloban today around 2pm to meet up with the other teams that are serving in this area. Over the next two days we will have a time of sharing and debrief with the local missionaries before we head back to Alabama for a few more days of debrief.  

This summer has been a blessing and I am excited to share with you the experiences that I have had during this short period of time. Please pray for traveling mercies as we leave this place that has been our "home" for the past two months. Also pray that God would raise up people and families to go and stand in the gap on behalf of the Lord in the cities around the world where missionaries are coming back to the States. 

People are dying every minute around the world without ever hearing the name of Jesus, and they face a Christ-less eternity. We know the "Lord of the Harvest" and He is our friend. So pray that He would raise up believers to go and be a light in this dark world, and when we pray, let us be open to those that God is calling to the nations-- it might be your friend, your son or daughter, your grandson or granddaughter, or it might be you! 

We have the greatest news on the plant, The Good News of the Gospel, and God has commanded, not suggested, his children to tell others about the Gift that He so graciously has given us. Tell somebody today that God loves them and He sent his Son Jesus to die the death that we so rightly deserved. Be encouraged, the Lord is working in Cebu, Philippines, and He is working in Batesville, MS or wherever you are. The God who spoke the World into creation fights for you!

Matthew 9:37-38
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

See you soon,

-Reid

Kingdom Builder Pics

Take a peek at some projects the Kingdom Builder team did while they were in Tacloban City. The missionary's home sustained a lot of damage from the typhoon this past fall. Various volunteer teams have come & done repairs, making it liveable once again. Kingdom Builder guys finished up some projects at the Miller's home before moving on to work in Ormoc City.

Meet the Kingdom Builders Team

We are finally all "settled in" here in the Philippines. We are enjoying being in the city and getting to meet the people around us. There are some people that I would like you to meet as well.

My name is Reid, i'm from Batesville, MS and attend Mississippi College in Clinton, MS. My favorite verse is Acts 20:24. 

Our fearless team leader, Jordan, is from Carmel, IN. He goes to Ball State University in Muncie, IN. His favorite Bible verse is 1 John 3:16. 

Last, but certainly not least, is our youngest team member Luke. He is from Fredericksburg, VA and goes to Fredericksburg Christian High School. His favorite verse is Psalm 16:8.

We are excited that we have the opportunity to build the Kingdom while we rebuild people's homes and schools that were destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan. (Locally, it's referred to as Yolanda).

Please pray that our team will stay healthy. 
Also, pray that the Lord would place people in our paths that we can share with, and when the time comes that he would give us a boldness to share.
