And the Work Continues

Children from Sunday morning's outreach

Hello to all. Hope you are doing well. It seems like God is opening incredible new doors for us and His Heart ministry every week. Beginning November 3rd, His Heart will be providing lunch everyday at school for 35 of the most malnourished children in a village we are currently reaching out to. Angela felt a burden to do more in a particular barangay (village) where we have Sunday worship. The principal is open to spiritual feeding as well. His Heart ministry will be at the elementary school several times a week at lunch to love and build relationships with the children and families. The lunch will be provided Monday through Friday. We are also believing for additional resources to cover multivitamins weekly. We are excited to expand our influence for the Lord. There are so many individual lives being touched.


We just wanted to share a story of God's faithfulness to his people here. Sally, one of the ladies who attends the ministry's outreach and house church, was living in a dilapidated house that had serious structural problems. About 3 weeks ago, she moved out of the house, and in with extended family in that same village. One week later, her house slid down the mountain during a typhoon. God's provision and protection is so timely! We are so grateful for her safety.

Prayer requests:

Favor and protection for the street children from pedophilia, organ harvesting, weather elements, etc
Retreat we will be doing for teens next week
Protection from illness for the people we minister to- They live in very close communities.
More opportunities to share the hope and love of the Father

isn't it amazing when God works in such obvious ways??
Can't wait to see you all when you come home to visit! What's the first thing you are going to do/ get when you come back to the states? What do you miss the most?

Hi guys, thanks again for the update. Those beautiful children sure grab your heart. I bet you want to bring them all home with you. Sounds like you are really loving them for Jesus. Can't wait to hear the stories in person.
Love, Jim and Barb
