Dear Family & Friends,

Thank you for your prayers and partnership.  It is deeply appreciated.  Please let us know how we can pray for you too.

Sansuwà is now a leader in the church.

Blocked by darkness

“When we are outside of the kingdom of God it is like our thoughts are blocked by darkness and we don’t recognize the meaning of the Word of God,” wrote Sansuwà, recalling a time before he knew Christ. 

“As I listened to the teaching of God’s word it was like I was in a dream and I really had no mind to listen to what was being taught. But after a while, my mind slowly opened up to the stories ‑ and then what got my attention was when I heard about the rich man who died and was thrown into Sheol where he suffered greatly.” 

“My mind continued to open up and I came to understand the good news that Jesus Christ paid for all my sins. I was so happy and thankful that I knew that I would go to heaven when I died. I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that I was saved and I loved talking about the Word of God.” 

God transformed the life of Sansuwà, the son of a witchdoctor, and he was discipled to become a leader in the Higaonon church. 

Thank you for partnering with us to help reach people like Sansuwà who are still blocked in darkness.

Scott is studying for certification tests in his office. His monitor is sporting the yellow screen to give your eyes rest from the blue light.

Partnership 

We had an encouraging trip to Michigan visiting churches and supporters up there.  Our sending church is encouraging us to increase our partnership base as well as our ministry. Please pray with us for God’s direction. I well remember Pastor Larkin when I grew up teaching on the prayer of Jabez and how impactful that prayer was:

“And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!’ So God granted him what he requested.”

Please pray with us that God will expand our ministry.

Seeing God’s care

It has been difficult last month, with searching for a new car, dealing with a 2K increase in home owner’s insurance, as well as a miscarriage. Thankfully, God has been with us through it.

Praise the Lord He provided a white 2012 Toyota Corolla with a great AC for Scott. We were able to jump through many hoops to get the home owner’s insurance back to last year’s price, for which we are thankful. Then we also saw God’s care, in the timing of it all, as we had a miscarriage the week before our trip.

I said, “God is just preparing us for harder things to come.” And then we found out my dad has a mass on each kidney. He is getting a biopsy of lung nodules this week so in a couple of weeks we should have a more clear idea of what is next. We are thankful to have the Lord and good friends with us each step of the journey.

Prayer Requests

• Pray for God to expand our ministry
• Pray for Scott to get some hands-on experience with Team’s voice for the certification.
• Pray for Regina’s data transfer project to go smoothly – moving mac video files to the PC archive. 
• Pray for wisdom in parenting.
• Praise for God’s care through His timing and through the body of Christ.

Partners with you
to see a thriving church for every people,

Scott and Regina Rodman

“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
Praise the Lord for many people groups who can now celebrate and remember our Lord’s sacrifice. 
Let us continue to work that many more unreached people groups may join them.
