Last month marked twenty years since September 2000 when we arrived to the Philippines for the first time.\u00a0 What a milestone!\u00a0 We had a quiet celebration as a family and have been reflecting since then on all that God has done over these years.\u00a0 He continues to amaze us with how He provides for us, and we know a lot of that is because of the prayer and support of His people.\u00a0 We have quite a team!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sadly, just in the last two weeks, we have heard of three of our friends and supporters who have died.\u00a0 We remember when Dale and his wife joined our team in 2010, Cathy and her husband joined our team in 2011, and Jim and his wife joined our team in 2015.\u00a0 Each of these precious friends dearly loved Jesus and lived lives full of service for Him.\u00a0 Knowing them and knowing their love for the Lord and their desire to see the world know Jesus, has always been an encouragement to us, and we miss them dearly.\u00a0 How thankful we are for their lives, fully lived for God!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

During the same two weeks, there have been three funerals in our village.\u00a0 What a different story, knowing that these three souls have likely passed into a Christless eternity.\u00a0 And the challenge remains:\u00a0 to live our lives fully sold out to Jesus, that more here in this village and around the world will know Him as their own personal Savior.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
