This newsletter is my way of sharing with our members in the USA about all that is happening in the missions work that I am involved with in the Northern Philippines. It is my hopes that this quarterly newsletter will be a blessing to you and will stir you to pray for the work in the Philippines as we work to win the lost to Christ.

In addition to prayer, it is my hope that churches will work to partner with their Filipino PFWB churches. This networking can offer encouragement and blessings to all involved and can stir the US church to get involved in missions work. I believe that a church that helps a poor counterpart in other parts of the world is actually bringing blessings not only to the foreign church and people but also to the giving church itself!

Proverbs 19:17 says, “He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD”

Your church, no matter the size, can make a HUGE impact in the Philippines by giving.

See below for opportunities to help or email me for other opportunities. I do hope that this is informative and worthwhile. Please let me know your thoughts. God bless.

I want to personally thank any of the churches that committed to projects and helped with the needs at Harvesters. While we made progress when Bro. Joseph was in the USA at Camp Meeting, there were still some projects that went without sponsors. Won’t you consider helping out? Our first focus will be for renovations at the bible college in Candon City. Your assistance will go a long way in making life better for our brothers and sisters in the Philippines and will be an investment in the kingdom! Should you desire to help, please send donations earmarked for the project to our World Witness Missions department and they will see it gets to the Philippines or you can donate online.

Thanks so much for your help. God bless… Ray

Also, from the boys and girls dormitory to the shower rooms.
