Update April 21, 2008

Greetings once again to you all. The Lord is so good and faithful and we continue to see His blessed hand at work in our lives. We certainly appreciate your prayers for us, especially with the trips back and forth to Manila, it can be a rather hazardous times sometimes.

We arrived back from Manila on Saturday after spending two days in
San Juan visiting doctors and such. It is always so nice to get back to the mountains after spending a few days in hot Manila.

Yesterday I was the speaker at Navy Base Christian Fellowship in the morning, then in the afternoon we continued our Mini Bible School session down in Baguio Gold. Both went very well, for which we thank and praise our Lord.

I was only able to attend one of the VBS sessions because of the unscheduled trip to Manila. But it went very well and they had about 60 plus kids each day and the gospel was shared both during the week and to the parents on graduation day.

Five from the assembly traveled down to Pangisanan this morning for two weeks of Christian Training Camp. They are five key folks at the assembly and we pray that this would be a profitable time for them all.

My schedule this week is a bit lighter than past weeks so I am looking forward to a time of study in preparation for the week of Bible School I am teaching here the first week of May.

Joyce is doing well, but is facing another more extensive surgery in the months ahead. The doctor has given his ok for here to travel home in May and have the surgery performed when she returns in late July. Since the cancer is in the early stages the delay is not a problem. Joyce is not asking the Lord for healing, but simply that His perfect will be done in her life. She is facing this with strength of character and faith, as she has faced each and every obstacle in her life. The challenges are real, but “The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the might waves of the sea” (Ps, 93)
