Chickens and Blood Bags
We just got back from an inspiring trip to the PFM Tagbanua 1 project. They were finishing up some evangelistic meetings and we went to support. This is one of the places we took our last medical group. It is helpful here to bring a medical team in before evangelistic meetings so they can invite everyone to the meetings while they're getting physical help as well.

We were impressed by the work going on there. The whole weekend was refreshingly well organized, all run by the PFM missionaries, church members, and some supporting pastors from the city. The church members were growing spiritually and the baptized members seemed truly converted and ready. They had a nice footwashing service Sabbath a.m. and baptism in the afternoon.
We plan to bring another medicl team to the Tagbanua 2 project in a couple months in preparation for their upcoming meetings as well. A road has just been completed into the project area so it will be easier to access with a team. We hope to have a projector by then to assist them with their meetings.
We are in a push to get the housing construction finished on our land by next month. Our pilot Andrey's wife and daughter will be coming soon as well as returning missionaries Danny and Rovelyn with their new baby. We are so thankful God has blessed and things have gone relatively well, all things considered. Putting the trusses up for the hangar roof will be the last big project. We are also excited about my parents, brother and siter-in-law and her parents coming for Christmas and we hope to get things done and moved before then!

Thanks to our recent medical group (and many of you) we now have 8 worthy students in Palawan Adventist Academy. The government has a special grant for the school for first year students so we are helping the school reach their goal as well as giving students an opportunity they would never have otherwise. The grant also gives us p5,000 off each student every year for the rest of their 4 years!
Praise God for new bike!
We also praise God for providing transportation for our medical and missionary work with a new motorcycle! Michel especially keeps it busy running back and forth to the hospital helping patients. I realized the other day that we had a unique life when I stopped to think about the chicken in my lap, cocounts in my backpack and rice under the seat! Later that night it was confirmed as I felt the warm blood bags on my lap between Michel and me as we sped to the hospital with our donors clinging behind. We would like to purchase a couple more bikes for some worthy layworkers and missionaries we know that are walking hours every day to visit interests and do Bible studies.
Keep praying for the revival of the churches around here and the Holy Spirit to fill them. Praise God for a small breakthrough with the Brooke's Point youth who have 3 new Bible study students and are learning to be more organized and consistent with their outreach.
