Hello,

Boy did we have a busy past few months, but they have been great, still trying to catch up. During the past few months (December till February) both sets of parents visited us here in Puerto Princesa City.

Flower’s parents arrived from December till January 15 and my parents planned to come from January 25 till March 4, but due to unexpected death of my grandmother my parents had to return home on February 16.

It has been about 2 years ago that we have seen our parents. It was so good to see them. Barnabas and Caleb had a great time with their grandparents. The kids are still talking about them and boy did they get spoiled. What a blessing and privilege it is to have our parents come and visit us.

We are both doing well and the ministry continues to touch lives. Although there are times we wish it would go faster, but all in God’s timing. God knows what is best. Beneath you will be able to read some old testimonies from Pastor Juliet and Pastor Abigail. They are both active in the ministry.

By the mercy and grace of God we still have a little space that we are renting to use for the 24/7 prayer center (room). It has been now almost 11/2 years that we have been able to pray 24 hours a day …. 365 days a year…. It is just such a blessing to have a place where we can come to seek the LORD. The presence of the LORD is often so sweet.

If you need prayer please email us, we would love to pray for you. Pastor Juliet is the person that has on her heart to expand this ministry all over the island. At the moment we are looking at establishing 2 other 24/7 prayer rooms (centers) on the island, but this will probably take at least another 6-12 months…

Our aim is to establish at least 12 (twelve) 24/7 prayer centers (rooms) all over the island within the coming 5 years. Thanks for supporting TTN and making it possible to increase prayer canopy on the island. It is only when we start praying more and more that we will see more people accept the LORD as Savior.

Finally God is doing a wonderful work in our midst among the home churches (house churches). At the moment I have 9 disciples (3 disciples fell away) and I am working hard on finding 3 new ones, but the good news is that my disciples are starting to find their disciples.

Just this past weekend (February 26-28) we had a ladies encounter retreat, this is a course that is part of training leaders in the church. On the encounter retreat were 5 new leaders who are undergoing training. Awesome, isn’t it? This means soon we will have 5 new leaders to start 5 new home churches… that is how fast it can go. Our goal is to establish 250 home churches all over the island. We are working on setting up 4 new home churches in Roxas (about 3 hours from Puerto). The leaders are still in training and 3 new home churches in Bacungan (45 minutes from Puerto). Again here also the leaders are still in training.

So you see God is doing a wonderful work in our midst. Thanks for your faithful support and help. Thanks for sowing into a wonderful and fruitful ministry…. Without your help and support we would not be able to change lives one at a time.

Be blessed always…..

Lots of love,
