As children of God, it’s important to us to find any and every way we can make an impact for Christ. We use every means necessary to enlarge our mission field and make Christ known. If you follow us on Facebook, you may even see that Trent is working with our team to offer fitness encouragement & tips. It is just one way to reach more people by meeting a practical need. It’s fun too! Ha! So if you are wanting to up your game with a 30 day fitness challenge - look up what Trent and Wood are doing there on our Facebook page :) Maybe this can spark an idea for you too to reach others in your area of influence?

As always, we want to also report to you the different areas of ministry and keep you up to date there. We appreciate you and thank you so much for your prayers and journeying with us! We are actively looking for the property!

Prior to coming to the USA for a visit, we had our eye out for the ministry base. We were able to start budgeting with those searches. There were some strong possibilities, but nothing came of those. We are actively looking and are very excited to find the perfect ministry base!!! We have seen several properties that look like strong contenders. We are growing in patience as everything takes longer here in the Philippines. We are learning that in the search, we are meeting many people of influence and that is always a good thing! If you are in a place of waiting on the Lord, He might be doing more than you can see with your natural eyes in the wait. Keep the faith!
 Feed the Hungry - The Hezekiah Feeding Project This program is so much fun to sow into! These kids are full of life & growing in Christ!!! Not only are these kids getting a solid meal, Bible Teaching & academic tutoring every weekend….but they are also making an impact in the community. The Scripture where Jesus says, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” comes to mind. Our team at the Hezekiah Project serve with such a joy & their only desire is to see Jesus on the throne of these kids lives! Their lights are certainly SHINING!!! Praise God!!!!! Heal the Sick - House of Hope Ministry This ministry is not the easiest. We continue to go and pray for these children who have been told their cancer is terminal. We pray for healing & we pray for the families. We have seen God bring undeniable healing & we have great faith to see more healing come to these children. The picture here is of Malik. Can we ask you to join in praying with us for his healing? He has been diagnosed with liver cancer & we want to see this little guy completely healed!

Make Disciples - Several Weekly Bible Studies We have a few weeknight Bible Studies that we are doing here in Davao. It’s been such an encouragement to see our groups growing in passion & knowledge for Jesus! We even had a new member, Kim, of our Weekend Group that went out and bought her First Bible :) She was glowing as she shared how she went in and the Lord led her to the perfect Bible! It was so beautiful to see how the Lord is speaking to her through the Word of God! In our mid-week Bible Study we are really seeing Freedom be the theme. Testimonies of forgiveness & freedom of fear have been areas Holy Spirit has been focusing. It is so exciting to see the transformation those freedoms bring! Hallelujah!!!! Please reach out to us if there is an area we can be praying for you. It would be our joy!

Reach the Unreached - Muslim Province We now financially supporting a Filipino women that has currently moved into the mountains that has planted herself in an unreached people group area.  At her request we won't include pics due to the danger of someone find out that she is evangelizing in the area.  The city is Esperanza which is predominantly Muslim, and very dangerous if your preaching Christ.  I went and saw for myself and it's pretty hardcore.   Care for the Orphan - Looking for Land! We are so excited about this area God is allowing us to serve him in. We have much to do! We are actively looking for land (as we shared on front of the newsletter) & we are having meetings with people in the DSWD (social work system) to get things lined up & set up. So, much is going on in the wait!!! We appreciate your prayers :) There were cacao trees on the property & Amy thinks that if there is the possibility of chocolate on the property - it must be the Lord! Ha!!! We’ll keep you posted ;)
