We gathered together for Christmas last year to celebrate and to pray for one another.
In the same way let your deeds shine out for all to see so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father. -(Matt.5:16)
Your work for God will always count whether big or small for He marks well your faithfulness when you have given all. There are times when prayer is the only gift we can give to the people we care for. Last December our pastors gathered together not just to celebrate Christmas but to do what is the most important thing – pray. We spent time to encourage and pray for one another. That’s what we all need to do in the ministry, to support one another as servants of the Most High God. Let’s continue to pray that God will always renew our strength to do His work and bless our ideas so that all our accomplishments glorify our Almighty God. God desires that every minister becomes a house of prayer, so we pray without ceasing.
Children’s ministry is not my strength. In fact, it is one of my weaknesses. Miraculously, God turned my weakness into a strength and now it is my passion! We started from 3 children and now we have 60-70 every Sunday afternoon. When you do something with love, it means you love what you are doing. Every week we teach and minister the word of God and then give the kids a simple meal before sending them home. Many of them live in slums and they lack guidance from their parents. Not only am I blessed by the youth when they mentor these children, I see my passion becoming their passion as well! Thank God for them! We will continue to pursue this ministry for the glory of God. Let’s continue to pray that more children will be touched by God and that they become the next Jesus’ generation that will make a difference in their world.

Praise God for the guidance and protection that He has given to my family, I’m very thankful for good health and provision, especially in my children’s studies and our daily needs. God always provides because He hears and answers our prayers. The church is constantly having new people come and being saved. Many are youth and they are hungry for God and very enthusiastic.
Praise God for people who are willing to serve the church and use their talents for the glory of God even when there are so many challenges that comes in their lives. Praise the Lord for the victory we have in His presence.

Thank you for your continuing support through prayer, time and finances. Thank God for growing us not just numerically but also spiritually. Though trials may come, we will still continue to glorify the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray with us for our own church building because we can attempt greater things through Christ who strengthens us. Thank you also for your daily prayer for my dearest wife, Ps Norma. We are so thankful for healing! She has gone through 5 chemo sessions and the last one was in March. “By His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)
