Introducing Mario
and Flor Talo and baby Hezekiah! The Dulangan Higaunon churches are sending out
yet another missionary family!!!
The elders of the
Tumpagon and Cauyunan churches are supervising their preparation and also
getting ready to start building their house in Balintad which is the area they
are being sent to. The church plant in Balintad was founded by Udi, our
son-in-law along with his fellow-workers, Roel and Nelmar, but they are passing
the work on to Mario and Flor as they want a family to be assigned full-time to
this area to bring the church on to maturity as well as to start church plants
in the surrounding areas.
They are a gifted
and steady young couple, equipped for the job they are being sent to and we
believe that we will see much fruit from their lives. Please uphold them in prayer!
In the past couple
of weeks, five of our churches have been affected by a peace and order situation which is causing a lot of difficulty.
Mothers and fathers have been unable to do their normal work on their farms as
it is unsafe so the food-supply has been cut off or made very scarce. This past
week we were able to send 20 sacks (1,000Kg or 2,200LBS) of rice up to that
area which has helped and there was quite a bit of fun involved in divvying the
rice out as you can see from these photos below! Please pray for the churches
in these areas as they exercise caution together with faith in our Lord’s
protection for them during these uncertain and trying times.
The last bit of news
before we close is that we are just about 2 months away now from having the
Talaandig New Testament ready to take up to the printer!!! The last revisions
and checking have been going awesome and we just ask that you KEEP PRAYING PLEASE for this!!
We are so thankful for each of you – our God-given
team members and co-workers in the work of the Gospel!
