Greetings to you all once again. Yesterday was another wonderful Lord’s Day here in the mountains. The time of worship with the assembly at Navy Base was wonderful. It seems the Spirit was continually leading our hearts to the greatness and wonder of His person and how that praise is due to His name. I feel as if I joined the “ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands” in the heavenly places crying out, “worthy is the Lamb that was slain”.

Yesterday afternoon we spend a couple of hours with the saints down in Baguio Gold. The roads going down were a bit sloppy due to some rains yesterday but very easily passable. We finished up chapter 5 of Hebrews and I was much encouraged to see these faithful saints coming out, yet once again, to spend a two full hours, non stop, in the study of His precious word. We will return on December 7th to begin a series with them on Sunday mornings and on that afternoon we will be having a joint fellowship with them and the saints from Navy Base. Due to the busy season upcoming with an anniversary Sunday for Navy Base on the 14th, and an anniversary Sunday for Baguio Gold on the 21st, then the holidays, our next session of Bible School will not be until January 4th. We have four hours of classes remaining for this session.

Tomorrow morning (Nov. 25) we head down to Manila. Joyce has a doctor’s appointment in the afternoon then we will have dinner with Rose Brooks and spend the night with Larry and Kim Keating at the dorm at Faith Academy. They are doing very well and the Lord is allowing many different challenges and decisions into their lives as they faithfully serve him there. So keep them in your prayers as well.

We also will be checking out the doctors and procedures needed for one of the ladies at the assembly in Baguio, as I mentioned in my last note to you, she is in need of surgery on her vocal cords and we want to see what is involved in making that happen for her sometime over the holidays. So please keep that in your prayers.

Thanks again for praying. It has been such an encouragement for me to know that you are keeping up with the “goings on” here and keeping us before the Lord. Drop us a brief note if you have a moment, it would be an extra encouragement to hear from you.

Our next trip to Sagada is in the works, so please be praying for that as well.
