Second day was spending time with old friends—these friends were here before we came and joined FMWM in 2005. What a blessing to witness God’s sustaining Grace for all of us.

Traveling to Thailand for our Asia Missionary Retreat. It will be good to see old friends as well as new ones. I feel old knowing that I am one of the few who has been in this role for more than two decades. Whoa!

Thank you for all your prayers for our training. Continue to pray for our national leaders (Pastor A and Pastor P) as they model Christ for these pastors here. (Please DO NOT repost these photos in any public forum. Thanks).

Friends and prayer warriors, I am in Asia right now doing a three-day teaching with our pastors and leaders. Today is my second day and I am changing some things in my teaching curriculum to make it more engaging. Yesterday’s lessons were a little “slow.” Please pray for God’s Spirit to inspire all of us. Grateful for your intercession.

Pray for the wife of Pastor Kris from Country-NP. His wife is recovering from surgery, removal of a gall bladder stone. Pray for healing. (I have permission to share this request).

Please pray for Emet (photo). He had an accident last week and broke his elbow. Now, he is wearing a cast. Pray for the healing process.

Emet is 6 years old. Many of you know him from my newsletter or from my missionary report I gave at your church service. Emet is the youngest son of Christine, our FM volunteer worker in Country-IA.

Grateful for your prayers.

Last Sunday, August 24th, I was at the River FMC, in Mesick, MI. It was encouraging to see God working in the lives of the people. I am so grateful for the leadership of Pastor Mary. I am thankful for the local church’s desire to support FMWM-Asia and the work in Country-IA. All glory belong to God alone.

In about two hours from now (8:00 PM, Illinois time), I will be sharing my first gospel presentation at the English Camp here in Country-IA. Pray with me. For some of these participants, it is their first time to hear stories of God’s love and grace. Pray for wisdom as I speak. Pray for humility in my heart. Pray that I will see God’s movement in each person’s life.

God is truly amazing. He is raising up leaders and workers for His “vineyard” here in the Philippines. I am grateful for these volunteers and newfound friends, the YA (Young Adults) group of Greenland Conference, who are helping in the data gathering for the writing project about “A History of the Free Methodists in the Philippines.” Please uphold us in your prayers.

Praise God for the time spent with our team leaders here in Country-IA. Grateful for all your prayers for these friends… Good food was an added bonus.
