Missions Update..Philippines Mission 2018

(I guess this site now has a gitch...too much space in-between lines.)

Missions Update:

Simplified Mission 2018 Goals for the Philippines:
1. Speak in four churches
2. Lead four one day seminars
3. Connect with available known pastors
4. Help pastors as needed
5. Assist the ministry in the Chinese General Hospital
6. Visit an orphanage east of Manila
7. Fund the building of ten houses
8. Fund the Jollibee outing for children
9. Fund the Mangyan Tribe feeding
10. Continue promoting the need for cinder blocks for building a church in Haiti.


Brief Info on Each Goal:
1. Each year I meet new pastors and enjoy our time together. I know six pastors now. Churches always have their own calendars of activities but I would like to get into at least four churches.
2. Hoping to lead four day seminars on “Church Health: What Does That Look Like?”
3. The pastors that I will not be in their churches I would like to have lunch with all of them or meet at their churches. I want to keep updated on church happenings/needs so I might learn what I might be able to assist with.
4. Usually while I am there I have some one-on-one time with pastors, go with them to visit the sick, make evangelism visits, or visit members who have not been attending.
5. I learned of a mission project that happens at a Chinese Hospital involving providing medical, food, and clothing. This is a one day event each month. I would like to assist in this event.
6. I finally found an orphanage east of Manila and have been in contact with the administrator. Hoping to make a visit to mingle with the kids and see what future needs might be.
7. During the Typhoons and flooding many of the Mangyan tribe families lost their homes. They are attempting to rebuild at this time. I will see how many have been completed before I go. They can build for 3500 pesos or $65 per home.
8. In 2016, I visited the children from Squatter’s village. The group has grown to about sixty. Hoping to take them to Jollibee’s (our McDonald’s) for an outing and a meal.
9. One of my highlights last year was the feeding of the Mangyan tribe, roughly about 200 adults and children. This included providing a meal, a bag of clothing, a bag of food, and a gift for the children. This is where I was the first white man they had seen and the first to be in their village.
10. An interpreter I had has started a church and needs to begin a church building project. They have over half of the cinder blocks needed so they need the remaining blocks as well as the bags of cement.



This is much to accomplish. We have a MIGHTY God to provide for MULTIPLE needs through the help of MANY people who have hearts for MISSIONS. Pray for God’s provisions for this trip. I will be sharing more as the trip begins to materialize.
