Please pray...

Please pray for some of our family members as they embark on some new missionary adventures. Here is a passage from a recent newsletter about what is happening with them:
We watch the news of
the AIG Bailout from a small Ma-
nila Guest House. It only further
highlighted the uncertainties of
this world.
Last month, a militant religious
group were demanding their
rights to assume control of land
in Palawan. Balabac was one of
those they named as belonging
to them. Government officials
stopped by our village home and
warned of possible danger. Naval
ships patrolled the coast. We al-
ready had plans to do paper work
in Manila during September so
as soon as we finished our final
lessons in Acts we hopped in the
plane and flew out as planned.
Since then there has been more
reports of heightened tension on
Palawan and on our tiny island.
It would appear from an earthly
perspective that this may take
some time to resolve.
So here we sit. In a small room in
Manila watching the economic
woes of a reckless world, while
our own ministry plans seemed
to have been put on hold. Odd
as it may seem, we are
filled with anticipation and are
looking for all of God’s open
doors.
1.) The MP3 Ministry that was
only just a tiny thought a few
weeks ago, now seems exactly
what God had in mind for us to
do to get his newly translated
Word to the Molbog people.
2.) We will use this
time to visit Indonesia. Rather
than sit in Manila and wait, we
can encourage our kids in this
new fantastic “first step” they
are about to take. We are
thrilled to be a part of it with
them. Open doors abound so
we will keep our eyes open.
