Confidence in God alone

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all - how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?  Romans 8:31-32

Pray for team members to be grounded in Christ, to find their identity in Christ alone. Pray that they would seek to find their all - physical, spiritual, and emotional needs - in Christ.

God is at work!

God is working mightily in the Philippines!  We have already seen God save the lives of two women. He is so amazing! God has also given us the opportunity to bridge a few new believers to water baptism and encourage other believers to follow through with water baptism.  We are hoping within the next couple weeks to be able to baptize a group.  We have seen God work and provide in mighty ways. 

Please continue to pray for the believers that are already here to grow and be trained, and for the lost to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior!

Mountain Harvesters Update: New Friends

We just finished our first week here in the Philippines... We are all adjusting really well!

After arriving in our village, we were blessed by two sweet friendships with local teenage girls.  They help us in more ways than one. We are very excited for these two young ladies. They are both believers and they are very hungry to learn more about God.  We have had several Bible studies with them - teaching them how to apply scripture to their lives and how to share with others.  We are eager to share more with them and eager to see them grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Please pray for these young ladies. Pray for understanding and a continued growth in their love for the Lord.  

Pray that through them our team would establish more relationships within the community, and that people would come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Pray that they will be an encouragement to the teams as they minister alongside them.

Worthy Conduct

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel... - Philippians 1:27

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every good work - Colossians 1:10

Pray that team members would honor God in word and deed. Pray for team unity as they perform the good works God prepared in advance for them.

Meet the Team: Mountain Harvesters

We are in the Philippines doing door-to-door evangelism & teaching the Bible.  Our team has 4 members:

• Emily is from Mississippi & attends William Carey University. She loves giraffes! Emily is our team leader and is great at bringing order & structure to our team. She keeps us focused!
• Charity is from Florida & is a huge coffee drinker! She is a very good listener & has wise & encouraging advice for all of us.
• Becca is from Tennessee & attends the University of Memphis. Becca says she could eat Mexican food everyday. Becca is a calming presence for our team… she is good at keeping us all calm in stressful situations.
• Kenzie (that’s me!) is from Tennessee and attends University of Memphis. I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. My team mates say I keep them laughing when it would be easy to breakdown & cry.

Prayer:

• That’s people’s hearts will be softened to the Good News
• Our team to harmoniously join in the work that God is doing in the Philippines
• Encourage local believers & churches
