Tracts of Hope

Posted by: wrguptill on Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

Last Sabbath we enjoyed participating in the world wide "Hope Impact" literature distribution program for the second year in a row. As always, we were amazed at how many people were so open to taking the tracts. As the mass of red and white-shirted church members made their way through the market, we observed people sitting on the side of the road or in their stores or tricycles pouring over the small magazines. On the back was written the local phone numbers, radio and TV stations where the people could learn more.

Our fellow missionary friends (working in Mayoyao) shared with us that most of their interests and friendships in the community have come from tracts we gave in previous medical missions in their area which had their phone numbers on the back! They said people text or call them frequently asking for a visit or advice on medical problems. In this way, through medical missionary work, they are gaining the people's love and respect.

Please pray for the mountain people of Mayoyao and all the towns and villages scattered throughout the Philippines that are longing and waiting for the hope of the Good News! Pray that God will open doors to reach them in the short time they have left. Jesus is coming again soon!

Thank you for your prayers and support for this ministry!

We'll let the pictures tell you the rest: More medical missions, two powerful typhoons in one week, continued hangar construction etc. Thanks for your prayers for the helicopter in Palawan that needs new blades. We are looking into some promising possibilities! Keep praying!

We ask for your prayers and support for the hangar construction which is now at the point where we are ready for the shipping containers which will make the walls of the hangar and living quarters. We will also need a 10kva generator to power the welder for making the trusses and other parts of the construction. Please pray that God will provide these and other needed items so the construction can continue!
