RRCP Ministry Vision 2019
Hello RRCP Partners and friends:
Happy New Year! Thank you so very much for your generous support both financially and in much-needed prayer. Your partnership with the Philippines ministry has been used by our Great God to bring a big success for the Kingdom!
I estimate we have baptized more than 500 people since we began this ministry with not much more than a call, hope, and prayer. And since then, with your help, together we have planted 30 churches in the remote, isolated regions of the Philippines. Many are hearing the gospel message of hope, forgiveness and salvation for the first time. Your dedicated obedience to Jesus Christ has made this possible!
Our feeding programs for malnourished children continue to bless many children and their families. As we love these children, the families also receive the blessing. We also have three college scholarships supported by individuals. All three of our students are doing well in college.
With the Philippines economy doing better, their chances to get a job are excellent. Once employed they will help their families. This ministry is working, in the power of the Holy Spirit to change a generation of precious people in the Philippines.
Our pastors and their families are thankful for our support as they continue to fight the good fight and sacrificially minister in the isolated regions. Without your support they could not survive in these communities.

As most of you already know, Juliana, Steven, and I are here in the States. Steven and I arrived in May and Juliana joined us in August. We are currently staying with my sister-in-law, Carrie, in Nampa, ID. And yes, it is cold for us Filipinos!
I am very pleased with the leadership of RRCP among the Elders of Acts Church. They and other valued friends have provided tremendous guidance and support, during this time. We have sharpened our focus during this time. I am more committed than ever to see God work powerfully through me and all of you for the people of the Philippines until He returns or calls us home.
Thank you for your continuing prayers for Steven, as he begins his second semester at Boise Bible College. We are excited to see what God will do through Steven as he dedicates himself to studying God’s word. Thanks to you we have also been able to get some much needed rest!
THE FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES MINISTRY
We have a big vision for the future of the Philippines ministry! We plan to send the Hounshell family to minister full time in the Philippines soon and we plan to expand both the Church Planting and the Feeding Program ministries, as well as increasing our training of Pastors and workers in the ministry. This is a big goal and a big vision and it is going to take a big movement in faith for our supporters both financially and in prayer.
Here is what we need:
We need 120 monthly givers at $100 per month to increase our monthly budget by $12,000 per month, this will be enough to for current support needs for our missionary families and will more than double our current budget for the work being done in the Philippines.
If you would pray with your family about being one of our new $100 per month givers we can reach this goal soon!
With 30 churches already with all the support programs, including those for malnourished children, we are poised to watch the Lord do amazing and miraculous things in the Philippines. Lord willing, and with all of our efforts together, our goal is to plant at least 100 new churches. We are on two islands now, and we are looking to eventually be on all the major islands. With these new resources, we can start now toward this visionary goal! We love you. Let us join hands together and be part of a work with eternal consequences and rewards!
The Lord has brought to my heart this verse.
“Let everyone give as his heart tells him, neither grudgingly nor under compulsion, for God loves the man who gives cheerfully. After all, God can give you everything that you need, so that you may always have sufficient both for yourselves and for giving away to other people. As the scripture says: “He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever” (2 Corinthians 7:9 J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS).
Juliana and I have learned to the joy and benefits of giving. We love to help the church and those in need. We give and give happily. It is wondrous to me that He supplies our every need, and He keeps our pockets full to continue giving. Thank you, Lord!
I pray you already know or will come to know the joy of giving and the blessing in your life of giving.
“Whoever is kind to the poor is lending to the LORD—the benefit of his gift will return to him in abundance” (Proverbs 19:17 ISV).

It’s a TRUE STORY of planting 30 churches in the isolated, remote jungles of the Philippines against fierce forces of evil. But God is faithful in it all to accomplish His will of salvation for the Filipino people.
