BOOKS' BROADCASTER GOES.....INTO THE JUNGLE! It was amazing to watch 6th grade boys step into an unknown situation and confidently share the Gospel with younger Filipino kids using wordless book bracelets. This was the highlight of this year’s Outdoor Education. ![]() ![]() During the OE Testimony Chapel, here’s what two students had to say about their OE experience: • “It was exciting to share the Gospel with our JEST guide using one of the extra wordless book bracelets. Kuya Panyoung prayed to receive Christ.” • “I have been fighting God for a long time about becoming a missionary. But during OE, I was finally able to let go of the fight and commit to becoming a missionary.” The missionary kids at Faith are a huge part of our present mission field. With over 500 students, we know that not all of them have a personal relationship with Jesus. Through weekly chapels and experiences like OE, students are not only hearing about Jesus’ love for them, but they are being equipped and challenged to become the next generation of missionaries. We praise God for... Pray with us for... • a good visit this past Christmas with my sister visiting from Thailand and Tony’s mom visiting from the States. • for His leading Faith to a possible new School Information System. • healing David and Heather from Chikungunya, a mosquito-borne illness similar to dengue fever. • a great Outdoor Education week and the lives that were changed as a result. • this very busy 3 months prior to our furlough. Pray we will close up this term without undue stress. • some furlough needs: 3-4 bedroom house or apartment, a car for Tony to use, schooling for the boys, and support to discover. • Timmy’s passport to arrive before the projected 5-6 weeks. • a way for Pinky to be self-sustainable. We’re her main support for finances, friendship, etc. ![]() We made it to the top! Here’s the gang on our recent 20 mile hike! Kids’ Korner David is hardly a ‘kid’ anymore as he is 15½ and taller than his mom. We have seen so much growth in his life over this year. Last semester he was chosen as one of the two setters for the JV volleyball team, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He is heavily involved in Boy Scouts and just recently earned his Star rank. Currently, he is the senior patrol leader for the scout troop. Robert is also very involved in Boy Scouts and while he is at the First Class rank, he is hoping to attain Star rank by mid-May. Robert is excelling in school this year with a little bit of organizational help from the learning center. He is really enjoying his band class where he shines in the percussion section. ![]() Timmy is 8 months old and is aching to walk on his own. He can sit up now by himself and though he has no desire to crawl at all, he loves holding onto anyone’s fingers and walking all over the house. It won’t be too long until he is motoring on his own power. He enjoys reading books and being outside so we do a lot of both. (Timmy was just worn out after his visit to the US Embassy!) |
