We are praying God will use us to help support these churches. The mother church in Ozamiz City, on the southern island of Mindanao, has sent out 23 missionaries in the Philippines, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. In the future, we hope to be used by God to bring financial support to these brothers and sisters in Christ. But for now, we offer our prayer support.
We plan to bring you prayer requests from the churches, as well as testimonies from the various ministries. To give you a sample, look at some of the prayer requests we have so far.
Ozamis City
- Souls to be saved in every service
- Power of the Holy Spirit in every service
- Church members
- Prayer life
- Spiritual maturity
- Fruitful life
- Responsive heart and dependable attitude
In this church, God has produced amazing results. Yet the church meets on the pastor's property in a building that is too small. When the storms come, it can be a bit of trouble. The church has its eye on a piece of property, which is being sold for about 500,000 Philippine Pesos. That is only about $12,000 U.S., but the church is a long way from being able to raise the funds itself. How many of our churches in America spent $12,000 on the parking lot? Let us join with them in prayer, as they buy the property meter by meter, trusting God the whole way.
Look at those prayer requests and consider how we pray. When is the last time we prayed for souls to be saved in every service? How often do we pray for the Holy Spirit to be in every meeting? How minor is $12,000 to most of our churches, perhaps even to some of us who read this?
Right now, we're only asking for prayers. But as you go through your day, consider our fellow believers in this nation, where God is at work. Will you lift your prayers to God on their behalf? Will you pray for the 23 missionaries? Will you pray for souls to be saved in ever service, both in their church and in yours? Will you pray for the Holy Spirit to be in every service, at their church and yours?
Let us pray. Let us pray.
