PREACHING IN THE PHILIPPINES

PREACHING IN THE PHILIPPINES

We are just about a week away from a trip to the Philippines. This will be a packed week of preaching and revisiting ministries we have worked with over the years. Ray has been asked to be the Anniversary speaker for the TayTay First Church of the Nazarene. This amazing church is a large, aggressive, creative ministry factory! They really make things happen there! This is both an honor and a special joy for us to partner with them once again.

Please pray for the different services and opportunities Ray will have to minister to various groups:
• Sunday morning: TayTay Church
• Sunday evening : TayTay Young People
• Monday : Missionaries and staff
• Tuesday: Seminary Chapel


SPIRIT LED BLESSING - A Personal Glimpse

In August, during an intense time of Bible reading and prayer, I sensed the Lord telling me to ASK, that I was being prompted to ASK for “anything”! This took a few moments to really soak in, the sensation and thought was so strong that I was completely caught up in the moment. I sensed the Father’s hand being extended to me along with the Spirit’s words, “You may ask…”

In that precious moment, I immediately thought of the missions oriented second Psalm which says “Ask of Me and I’ll give you the nations as an inheritance.” Through grateful and excited tears I asked God for the nations, for tens of thousands of salvations, ones that would last and bear fruit and fruit that would remain. (John 15:16)

I share this very personal God encounter to let you know that it is indeed a special honor to see this rhema word coming true in continually new ways. The trip to Singapore was an incredible fulfillment, presenting our Lord to students from 22 nations. The upcoming trip to the Philippines will be similar. Not only will I be able to minister the wonderful Filipinos we have come to love so much but will also speak to adult students from several Asian nations at the seminary. The potential impact on this region of the world cannot be measured.

Please join us in praying for an extraordinary move of God during these days in the Philippines. Your partnership in prayers, financial giving and friendship mean so much to us, allowing us to have such incredible opportunities.

Thank you so much! We love and appreciate you!
