Well, I have been here in the Philippines for one month now. I wanted to give you an update of all the latest news and events going on here in Tacloban City, Leyte province with regard to Project Philippines.
1. I've begun teaching a class in Leyte Christian College, relieving Charlie his heavy load. Next semester I have two classes scheduled: (1) The Life of Christ, and (2) Bible Geography.
2. Another baptism by our team: bro. Reuel Belo announced one lady at the village of Alangalang has obeyed the Gospel. That makes eight baptisms by members of our team this year.
3. We have found another property we would like to purchase, upon which we can build the base of operations for Project Philippines: LCC, elementary & high school, and a children's home. The problem is we don't currently have enough funds for this beautiful and well-placed property. We need approximately $35,000 dollars and we have only about $22,000 at this time. We are asking any interested congregation or individual to help us. Perhaps a special contribution might be possible. We've had two wonderful families in Stamford, TX to contribute already to this great need, and hoping for more. Once this property is secured it would be full speed ahead for all aspects of the Project. Please consider us.
4. As you can see from the posts below, Robin and Nathan are settling in well. We now need to do some serious work on our permanent visas and hoping to get this accomplished within the next couple of weeks or so.
5. Our container has already arrived, even before I made it here. The 20,000-plus books are now safely stored in a shed here on our rental property, waiting for a permanent library to be constructed. Some few of these books, however, are already being used in LCC.
Thanks for taking time to read this report, and to all our great supporters, we say "Daghang Salamat!" (thank you very much in Tagalog). We do so much appreciate each and every one of you for all you do for us and for this work. May the Righteous Lord bless you all for what you are doing.
