April, 2008

 

“The works of His hands are faithful and just; all His precepts are trustworthy. They are steadfast forever and ever, done in faithfulness and uprightness. He provided redemption for His people; He ordained His covenant forever –

holy and awesome is His Name.”

Psalm 111:7-9 NIV

 

 

 

 

“choices, choices” for the Family Camp sponsored by Project Mercy of People Who Care Foundation, Inc. on Friday, April 11, 2008

 

Bettina was privileged to teach a roomful of young people last Friday (Apr. 11). They originally thought there would be 30 young people but God brought twice as much. Bettina taught about our choices of words and their

 

power to build up or to break someone down. She also got a chance to share about God’s love and how only God can take the pain away caused by

wounding words. Praise God for the works of the Holy Spirit to minister in each person’s heart.

 

We praise God for tHis new connection! We’re looking forward to more ministry opportunities to partner with them in the future. To learn more about Project Mercy, you can visit their website:

Missions Class with the 180 Degrees Professionals

 

We are so grateful to God for allowing tHis ministry to conduct its very first Missions class in Cebu! It has been on our hearts to take every opportunity to encourage, prepare and equip anyone we meet who would have the heart for missions. Praise God for the first Missions class graduated last Saturday (April 19), and we praise Him for the privilege to share so more workers would be ready to serve in  His vineyard.

 

Meet the graduates who are preparing to go to Cambodia!

 

 

Text Box: By the way, if you’re interested in helping tHis team financially, you can send your support to WWW Ministry in Issaquah and include a note that it’s for the Philippines-Cambodia Team. L to R: Jelo, Jenny, Richard, Sandy, B, Celeste, Mary, and …

Bettina taught the class three consecutive Saturday mornings beginning April 5. She also arranged make-up classes to accommodate those who had to miss because of work, illness, and family obligations. We learned at their last class that another person just decided to join their team and Bettina arranged for their Team leader to get copies of all the lessons so she can take the baton and teach what they have studied.

 

There are a lot of highlights and blessings that testify of God’s faithfulness for this first Missions class:

ü  His Spirit renewed minds as God gave each one more understanding for His heart for missions and this gives them more joy to go to Cambodia.

ü  They learned to send out letters to raise awareness for their mission and the responses they have received.

ü  Each one tested to affirm their spiritual gifts and they were encouraged to discover even new ones! This exercise added to their confidence in the Lord and the works He is doing in their lives. In addition, with their spiritual gifts combined along with their different experiences, knowledge, skills, and abilities, they value each other more in the works waiting for them.

ü  They gained better understanding of their roles as watchmen, praying and standing in the gap, preparing the way for God’s kingdom.

ü  There were also opportunities for God’s healing touch.

ü  The class also prepared for their individual roles and responsibilities to God, to their Team Leader, and to everyone in their Team.

 

We are excited for what God has done in each of their hearts and even to the people they share with about their mission to Cambodia. We can’t wait to hear what comes to pass after they come back! We’re also looking forward to the next class, God willing, in His time.

 

 

Dove Home Construction—Phase 1

 

 

God is truly Jehovah Jireh! We shared with you before that we’ve been able to buy water for the construction from our  neighbors while we waited for the MCWD to connect our water pipe. However, it has taken MCWD longer than expected and our neighbors have stopped selling us water. The work crew diligently found other places that sold  water so they could continue their work but this was expensive and time consuming. In the meantime, God would provide rain so they can gather water in the three drums we have in the site.

 

When Apol followed up with the MCWD to verify the reason for the hold-up, he was told they ran out of materials and they could not give us a timeline when their new supply will arrive. So, last Thursday evening we bit the bullet and decided to go forward with the deep well. We arranged with one of the  contractors who has given us a bid before. He blessed tHis ministry by even bringing the price down more. Last Friday morning (April 18), we put some money down for the deep well. During our meeting, the contractor verified (and our Architect verified it as well) that the prices for the materials were just about to go up so our

 

timing was perfect. All we had to do was to put a mark on the site where the vertical pump needed to be installed. We went to the site after the meeting and we were greeted by one of the workers. He told us that the MCWD arrived and installed the water connection Thursday afternoon! We couldn’t believe the timing! We considered about canceling the deep well but we also considered the current water supply that is already low, and expected to get lower because Mandaue does not have its own pumping stations. Since we are also planning to host mission teams as soon as phase 1 is complete, we agreed to stick with our decision to install a deep well. Overall, this expense would still save us money in the future.

 

So far, this is what the mission home

 

looks like now built by God’s rain and hands…

 

SEC Application

Apol has been following up on our SEC application and he learned of another document that Bettina needed to sign. Praise God for we were advised that it’s now in the final process and we need to follow-up again the week of April 21.

 

PLDT Landline

Bettina followed up on our landline connection last Thursday (April 17) and they gave her the run-around. We continue to wait…

 

Healthwise….

Bettina is still coughing going in to her fourth week. She has taken different medicine in case it’s her allergies and still she’s coughing. We are planning to find a doctor on Monday (April 21) at the hospital where Apol took his chaplaincy training years ago.
