My Mission Update (June to August 2023)

As Base Support Staff

It’s been a while since my last update. We have been really busy as base support staffs. At some point, I had to handle kitchen department, construction project department, and maintenance department, all at the same time. And I had no real prior experience in handling all these three things. It was really an intense time of depending on the LORD and His grace and with Him all went well up to now.

Here are pictures of our typical 5 am Saturday marketing:

As Part of Church Planting Team

After 3 years, moving more than 3 metric tons of dirt, multiple floodings, and 2 mini landslides, we have finally made good progress in the church retaining wall. Also, every Friday, 3 families have been faithfully attending the Bibles studies. All of them are very hungry for the Word and would even stay from 7 pm to 9pm (sometimes extending way beyond schedule) just to learn and study the Word of God.

Here are pictures of the progress of our church construction project:

As Part of Word by Heart School (2nd Level School, University of the Nations)

What is Word by Heart School?

Word By Heart is training story tellers- bringing the words of Jesus to life by bridging cultures and languages. Word By Heart is a program used to “rememberize” scriptures. The goal of this course is for the scriptures to become so real that we remember them and share them just like events and experiences in our own lives. -YWAM Montana

The start of our Word by Heart School was moved from September 4 to September 18. This is to give time for our students to process their visas. We have 2 families and 1 single lady from a closed-door (unreached) nation who applied. We have 1 African, 1 Fijian, 1 Indian, and a couple from Baguio City who also applied. Please pray that God will provide for all of them to come and for smooth approval of each of their visas. I will be a part of the school teachers (staffs). There's 5 of us in the team.

That's it for my current update. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. You all have been a huge blessing and a great team mate in God's ministry here in Baguio.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—9 not by works, so that no one can boast. -Ephesians 2:8-9
