Last Sunday we walked into the \u201c<strong>wrong<\/strong>\u201d Sunday school class. We knew that  the teacher had changed since last time we were home so we sat down as it was  time for class to begin. We realized that we didn\u2019t recognize anyone from our  class 2 years ago! It wasn\u2019t until later that we were reminded there was an  extra service now and hence different \u201cLife Group\u201d classes.<\/p>\n<p>The teacher recognized us and after introducing us to the class,  asked for prayer requests. He knew that our immediate prayer request for was for  a vehicle and mentioned it to the class. After class a gentleman came up to us  to say that he had a vehicle we could use! What a provision of the LORD this  vehicle is. Praise God with us!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1070\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1070\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1070 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/lance-ostman\/files\/2010\/03\/car.JPG\" alt=\"Rejoice with us for God's provision!\" width=\"210\" height=\"113\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rejoice with us for God&#39;s provision!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Our sending church in Florida had the mission  team that came to minister to us and our NTM coworkers in January share  testimonies of their time in the Philippines on Sunday evening. Then,  we had opportunity to give a report of God\u2019s work amongst the Higaunon. The  church \u201chonored\u201d us with a plaque and a beautiful bouquet of flowers for our 28  years in the Philippines. We were prayed for as we  were surrounded by many of the congregation. Words are not adequate to describe  how loved and appreciated we felt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanks to all for praying  for us.<\/strong> We had great weather and safe travels. We\u2019ve arrived at  Nicole &amp; Justin\u2019s and plan to have some weeks of grand-parenting time with  Olivia, Jacob and the new baby who is due soon. Once again we\u2019d appreciate your  prayers for Nicole and the baby. Nicole has had a bad cough for a week or more  now and we all pray she\u2019ll be over it before the baby is born. Jacob also has a  very bad cough \u2013 please pray for healing!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pray for us as we try to  get an itinerary planned! <\/strong>We hope to get around to see as many of our  prayer and financial partners as we can, as well as seeing family that is  scattered all over the US! At this point in seems \u201cimpossible\u201d to get done  before we return to the Philippines \u2013 yet we know with our  God all things are possible. <strong>And as you  pray for us, please continue to pray for the Higaunon  church.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Secure in Christ&#8217;s Love,<\/p>\n<p>Lance &amp;  Laura<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your prayers are being answered!
