Greetings to you all from Baguio, it is so nice to be home. I was quite surprised this morning when I checked my web site and noticed that I had not sent out an update since the end of December. Things have been a bit hectic these last weeks and the time has just flown by.
We spent last week in Manila while I taught at Special Studies at the Bible school in Malolos. We are thankful to the Lord that the time seemed to be quite profitable. There were some good times of discussion and questions regarding families and their responsibilities in the local church as well as the responsibilities of fathers and mothers in the discipline and raising of children in the home. We pray that the lessons learned my have a positive impact on the biological families as well as on the local church families as the principles learned are applied.

Our car made the trip down and back, but there still are some more serious issues that need to be addressed. Old Betsy, as she is fondly called, is in need of some rehab. She has been a real work horse for us but she is beginning to show her age. There are some reoccurring issues that need to be resolved and some new ones that came up during our time in Manila. We are so very thankful to the Lord that we were able to nurse her back home. This week she will go back into the shop to have some things worked on. Some things must be repaired before we can register her again in June or she will not pass inspection. Please be praying. This car is so much depended on for ministry and right now my confidence level in her reliability is fading. Please pray that the Lord would give us wisdom as to what our next steps should be.
This week I will be completing final preparations for the next Bible school session that will begin next Sunday (March 4) at the Navy Base assembly. I will be preparing the student notebooks, printing all the handouts and outlines as well as finishing up my personal notes and reviewing all the material for this semester. We will be taking up Eschatology this time around and it should be a challenging subject for all. I am looking forward to teaching it. Please be praying that this would be a profitable time for all.
This week we get back to our regular schedule of Bible studies and meetings. Sunday we are at Navy Base, next Sunday we will be down in Baguio Gold in the morning. We will have home Bible studies on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday these next few weeks with a study also on Wednesday nights at the chapel. Continue to pray for the continued effectiveness of these studies. We desire to see those who attend these studies in regular fellowship at the assembly once they have received the Lord as Savior. We have been seeing some good fruit in the lives of many, and are thankful to the Lord.
Thank you all for your prayers.
