Typhoon Karen, a category 2 typhoon, has moved by to the north of us these last couple of days dropping several inches of rain on the northern and central sections of Luzon. It has rained non stop for a couple of days and we are finding holes in our roof that we did not know existed previously. We have several new “water features” decorating our home. The storm should move far enough away today or tomorrow to give us a break from the constant noise of rain on a metal roof, which at the first is rather soothing, but then becomes a constant din that causes the soul to desire quiet.
Last evenings prayer meeting was sparsely attended due to the storm, yet it was a good time of prayer and Wini began a series of devotionals on the parables of our Lord. Last evening we were reminded of the Lord’s concern for the lost, from Luke 15.
This Lord’s Day I will be teaching an introduction to the book of Acts at the 10 O’clock adult Sunday school, and then at the 11 O’clock family bible hour I will be teaching on the second advent of our Lord Jesus. So they have put me right back to work, and it is a blessing indeed!
Joyce is recovering nicely. She still does have a small section on the lower incision where she is still leaking, all else has healed up nicely. We will be heading down to Tarlac City, about 2 plus hours down, for a check up on Saturday. So we would ask that you continue to keep Joyce’s recovery in your prayers.
Driving across to some of the new outreaches has been impossible these weeks due to the rainy season and storms. Wini has received some text messages from the folks in Atamok desiring to have a bible study. As soon as the weather clears a bit we will make a trip over. We are thankful to the Lord for the interest these folks are showing in spiritual things. Pray that as the gospel continues to go forth in that area that souls in this family would come to Christ.
It is so good to be with the saints at Navy Base again. Psalm 133 describes it well. “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!...”
The Lord bless you and keep you my friends. Thank you all for your prayers.
