The Apostle Paul says we should "boast only with regard to the area of influence God has assigned to us" and desires that "our area of influence among you may be greatly enlaged". II Cor. 10:13, 15 (ESV)
Over the last three years, God has given me opportunities of ministry I never thought possible; Pastor's workshops, Pastor/Wives workshops, One-on-one with pastors, and helping provide provisions for Orphanage children on an International basis.
I am making final preparations for a Visionary trip to the Philippines. My plans include but not limited to a Pastor/Wives Workshop, visiting with orphan children, visiting with remote pastors at their churches, and taking school supplies and Vitamins for Adults/children. I am hoping to make more friendships and learn what I could do on a return trip next year.
People have been praying for this trip. My prayer is that God would be uplifted, people will be instructed and inspired, children will know of other nationalities that care about them, and remote pastors will know that they are not alone in trusting God for their ultimate strength and encouragement. Pastors need pastors.
Generous people have donated to this trip. I am so grateful. I heard of a family that is sending over $200 this week. Praying for more donations. I am planning on another trip to Haiti this fall. The two trips together will cost around $5500. The Philippine trip is close to being funded.
If you would be interested in contrbuting to the Missions 20016 trip, go the the headiing on my blog which gives information on ways to donate. God bless you for your heart for mssions and your generosity for extending and strengthing His Kingdom work.
God has certainly enlarged the areas of influence that He he has assigned.
I appreciate all of you.

Time is drawing near
March is rapidly approaching. I have been working on sermons, workshop materials, day to day itinerary, and communicating with Pastors. Praying for a safe, enjoyable, and awesome trip....a time to meet new friends and help as I can.
I have heard from the two pastors I will be working with in the Philippines. Currently, they as well as others are still recovering and rebuilding. The Typhoon in December was tragic and quite damaging. They have no insurance and, since it happened to all, they cannot all even support one person. These pastors and cizitizens are depending upon receiving outside fund for help. Pastors/Wives/families in the area as well as the remote sections are in need of spiritual encouragment. One of the pastors has planned meals, dental clincs, and medical clinics as well to as spiritual encouragment. Prayers are needed. Donations are needed. I have provided two ways for anyone to give to these mission trips to Philippines/Haiti. Thank you for responding. gregorybunn.blogspsot.com.
Glad to be hearing from prayer and financial partners. The funds are coming in. THANK YOU. Donations have been from $10 to $500. Several generous folks. My anticipated needs for the two trips will be around $5500 depending upon needs presented to me. The airline tickets to the Philippines are twice the cost to Haiti. My lodging and food will be more costly as well. I appreciate everyone who has/will give.
Not knowing the needs in the Philippines, I may purchase some things while I am there. Usually when I go to Haiti, I take an extra suitcase with needed items and make purchases while I am there.
