We praise the Lord for the ministry of the 11 national teams that shared the good news all over the Philippines in April and May. Through the distribution of gospel tracts, New Testaments and evangelistic videos, thousands of people heard the good news face to face. Families heard the gospel through in-home Bible studies. Many indicated a decision to follow Christ and 39 were baptized. More than 1,100 children also heard the gospel through attending health camps and Vacation Bible School.
Pray for the national ministry as it prepares for summer 2009 teams. Pray for the 2008 team members as they seek how God would have them live their lives as a world Christian.
More than 60 American students with their national partners are currently impacting lostness. There are 15 teams serving in four countries in the Pacific Rim region. As they minister during these last two weeks, pray for an increasing boldness in sharing the gospel. Pray for unity, understanding and patience among team members. Pray for the Lord to use their various backgrounds and personalities to create opportunities to share the gospel in unique ways. Pray for national partners working with each of the teams.
We are excited to have a team of Korean students serving alongside one of the American teams. Pray for them as they finish up their ministry. As they return to Korea, pray for them as they tell their stories and encourage their churches through what God has done in their midst.
