Dennis & Daisy
PHILIPPINES
We have just moved to a smaller apartment this month. It is one third the size of the previous one and the rental is halved. Thank God for it. We hope to create more funds for the ministry here. We are also setting aside monthly some of our savings to help our six Bible school students with the course fee. Hopefully by next year, the accumulated savings can make a difference to their lives. It is our hope that as they study and minister full time they will also have some extra money to support their own family. Out of the six Bible school students, two are planning to quit next month. The spiritual warfare here is really intense. People are drawn away from church due to poverty, family obligation and persecution. For the last few Sundays I have been preaching on good stewardship. Pray with me that the members will know how to handle their finances and stay on course with God.
I could see God has used our lives to bless many here. The school has been a blessing to many too. Surprisingly, there are many people looking forward to join our school. We believe our gifting is teaching and raising up more labourers for the harvest fields. In the midst of ministry, we do feel discouraged at times and wish that things are not as tough as it is. We need lot's of prayer from all of you.
Dennis with the youth and Bible students
Read Matthew 25 about the goats and sheep. God spoke to me through that passage about 2 weeks ago and as I shared with the church, everyone agreed that we should reach out to the indigenous families through a Community Feeding Programme during our weekly Friday night Prayer meetings. The meeting will be evangelistic. Pray with us that many will attend this meeting and that the work of miracle will take place every Friday. May the sick be healed and the prisoners set free from their bondages. We will start this meeting on Apr 11. Pray for anointing for the Bible school students, musicians, staff and us.
Sunday Service Topic
We are still looking for sponsors to contribute financially to buy Bible dictionaries, books, tables and shelves for the classrooms, beds for students, renovation and furnishings for the school and church. If you wish to be a part of this project, please write to us at nlcm@cnl.org.sg.
