Updates

Dear friends, brothers & sisters, valued supporters,
This website had not been really updated in awhile due to the fact that our laptop computer crashed (we lost the hard drive). But now we have a new computer and are able to post here regularly again. You will see new pictures posted here and more info. Please take note of all the construction ongoing now at our school property site. We hope you can see that your funds are being put to good use with this construction all in the name of Christian education. A dormitory is being built, and we are cutting a road into the property from the main paved road. Also, we are set to break ground on Nov. 4 for our new large classroom building. Please pray for this monumental undertaking.
Our family returned home from Cebu on Oct. 27 after a day at the Immigration Office of the Philippine government. We were not able to obtain a two-year visa but were virtually assured that our new application for another year would be approved.
Other news: we are still (thankfully) avoiding all the terrible typhoons that have been striking the Philippines during the last month. Here in Tacloban it has been quite dry, and also quite cool (or at least cooler than normal). Actually it is very pleasant weather compared to what it is normally here. We are quite pleased with that, although praying for our brethren up north who continue to be pounded.
The new semester begins at Leyte Christian College on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Hopefully and God willing this will be our last semester in the facilities of the church building here in Tacloban. The brethren here continue to be so gracious to allow us to use these facilities, but they are just too small and inadequate for our growing school. We have 40 students and expect to be nearly double that size come next June.
More baptisms to report also. At least ten have obeyed the Gospel and been added to the Lord's church in the last couple of months, all at various of the surrounding 'house churches' which the Project team members have been nurturing. God is blessing the efforts here.
To all of our wonderful supporters, thank you so very much for your continued trust in us and your VITAL help for Project Philippines and Leyte Christian College. We are so blessed by you!
