Grace Chapel started weekly services about two months ago in anticipation of me getting there fulltime soon. Pastor Alagos started the services on Saturday afternoons because he does two services at the Mabasa Church on Sundays.
Juliana and Steven are living there now and waiting for me to get there or I will bring them back here for awhile. Please pray the Lord will make which to do clear to me.
Juliana gave her testimony two weeks ago at Grace Chapel. I would have loved to hear it. She is preparing to be my interpreter for the services. What’s that old saying about most people would rather die than speak publicly. Juliana will do well. She taught school for several years. The Lord will teach and empower her.
Steven is adjusting and doing well in school. He just finished a week of chapter tests and got 100% on all but one and on that one he got 61 out of 65. Not bad considering he has to speak three languages in school. The classes are taught in English, tests are in Tagolog, the national language, and his classmates speak Kinaray, the local dialect. WOW! Better him than me!
Juliana just informed me the services are growing fast. “Lots of new faces” she said. There are so many children they just started a service just for the kids. The regular service follows the children service. Juliana and her sisters, Alberta and Helen, are leading songs and helping with the kids.
It is amazing to me the Lord’s blessing for Grace Chapel. He has me here for some reason (hopefully not long) and continues to bless and grow the Grace Chapel ministries.
No new pictures yet. Juliana hasn’t mastered sending pictures. Soon I hope to share new pictures.
We are in the processes of buying another hector of farmland to contribute to our support there. This was made possible by your wonderful and generous support. Thank you. We are getting closer to the time for me to get there permanently. It is all about the Lord’s timing. He will get me there in His Sovereignty. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He will provide the financial means when He is ready.
Please continue to keep Grace Chapel Ministries in your prayers.
