This is a
picture of our Lapoc missionary team last week. From the left there are the Ben
and Leonie and their bubs, then there is James and JingJing and their two boys,
then there is Rodil and Annie and their two children and at the end Wingwing
and Hazel and their three children and you would have recognized the three of
us.
This team the
dynamics have changed because James and JingJing are now back in their home
church of Tumpagon and a new family have come for missionary experience and
exposure who we don’t have a picture of yet.
The
transition between the two families went smoothly which is a praise point and
our new team members seem to be settling in well.
Please Pray This Week For........
- Hazel
and Wingwing who are in the midst of a family heartbreak because of the
death of Hazel’s oldest brother who died of dengue fever last week. The
funeral was last week and it was very difficult for all of them as the
brothers and sisters were all very close to each other. Also, Hazel
and their daughter Gwen both have health concerns they need to see a
doctor about soon.
- Roldan
and Inday and their children Jelo, Jannie and Faith, newly arrived on the
team, that they will feel at home and that they will be strong in the Lord
and shine as lights during their sojourn here.
- Annie
had a scare with some high blood pressure last week but this week she is
doing better. It must have been because of the hugely busy week they had
and the stress. She and Rodil are praising the Lord today for their
daughter Ching’s 8th birthday. They need much wisdom as they
are on the leadership team of the church here in Lapoc and also in San
Aquino.
- Leonie
just had a bad bought of flu but is getting better today. Pray for a full
recovery and for them to feel a freshness even though it has been a hard
slog of recent times.
- Us, that we can enjoy our brimming household and have special
family time with our three grandies - Charly, Clint and Jhamaica - and
with inay Bungguy (the mother who took Paul under her wing when we first
arrived in Cauyunan 24 years ago), even though Jhamaica is teething and a
bit out of sorts and even though we have had an additional 23 people this past week for a seminar.
- Jenita, who is a tiny 12 year old girl we have taken into our
hearts and also into our home for awhile. She comes from a very difficult
home life and she became a part of our hearts over the past few years as
we helped her to get surgery to correct a twisted foot she had from
cerebral palsy.
Thanks for your prayers for our team!
