Greetings to you all once again. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read these short updates. It is such an encouragement to us to know that you are praying for the Lord’s work here among us. And as I view the sitemeter and see people visiting from all over the country and around the world it is such an encouragement. Special thanks to those who frequently have dropped us a short note of encouragement, it really does mean the world to us.
Our visit to Korea (Jan 6-18) was a wonderful, but busy time. I spoke fifteen times in twelve days, and there was never a dull moment as we shuffled between different assemblies and special breakfasts, lunches and dinners. We were treated with such kindness and warmth. The women’s conference went well, for which we thank the Lord. We trust that the words shared will continue to be an encouragement to those dear saints who attended. The location of the conference in the mountains of Southern South Korea was absolutely beautiful. It was quite cold for us since when we left the Philippines the temperatures were in the upper 80s and when we arrived in Korea the temperatures were in the single digits, a 70 degree difference. And there was snow!! Something we have not seen in several years. We stayed in different homes almost every night, and enjoyed the hospitality of the saints. Thank you to all my new Korean friends for all that you did for us. And a special thanks to brother Song who traveled with us and translated all the messages for me with the exception of one. It was good to get to know such a good servant of the Lord.
We arrived back in the Philippines late night on Tuesday the 18th, and stayed in the Manila area until Friday the 21st when we finally traveled home to Baguio. How nice it was to be home again. This past Lord’s day I spoke at Navy Base. This Wednesday night I will also speak there and Lord willing attend two bible studies on Friday. Then Sunday we will be down in Baguio Gold to speak at two meetings. We plan to begin the next session of Bible School at Navy Base on the second Sunday of February. Next week we will travel back down to Manila for a CMPI board meeting on Saturday the 5th and will remain in Manila over the weekend, returning on Monday.
Last night a group from one of the assemblies in Pangisanan paid us a visit. It was nice to meet them. They are from the assembly where I taught at the men’s conference in early December. They came to invite me to speak in April at their anniversary Sunday, which I was happy to do.
Thank you all for all your prayers and support. May the Lord continue to bless you in your service for Him.
