Providing Support in Palawan

As we draw closer to completing our time in National Culture and Language Acquisition in Manila, we find ourselves praying more and more about what the Lord has in store for us next.  While we have worked towards the possibility of moving into a tribal church planting team we have also said that we would be willing to go back into tribal church planting support, which is where our first two years of missions service began.  And so when we were recently requested to fill in for a few weeks in September doing supply buying back in Palawan we thought what a great opportunity to get another taste of that might be like.

During the 16 days we were back on the island we did supply buying for six different families working to reach four distinct people groups.  We purchased everything from hardware and office supplies to food and medicine.  It may not sound like much but between all the running around town to track down the various needs, packing it up for safe shipping over land, air, and sea, this is a job that is absolutely essential to the work of delivering the gospel to those that have yet to hear and planting viable God-sustaining churches.  So while there is still the possibility that we could join an existing tribal church planting team in the near future, there is also the possibility that we could join multiple church planting teams in providing vital front-line support.  Your prayers are much coveted.
