Reminders

Aloha good folks. This post is a reminder of our two needs we are facing right now.

First, is the $3,000 our friends at Love In Action Ministries are helping us raise for Shiloh Bible Baptist Church in Salug. This is an urgent need, and we ask you to help us. Pastor Clemente Gumapit and the church there have been worshiping at this site for seven years, renting a plot of land. The church built its building on the property, but the landowner is forcing them to buy the property or move. We need your help. Please consider giving to this need. If you feel led, contact Love In Action Ministries through the hyperlink here. If you are reading this on the Facebook link, then you can also check out the Love In Action Ministries Facebook page for contact information. If you give through Love In Action Ministries, you can get a tax-deductible receipt. We ask you also to consider helping Love In Action Ministries on its own, because it does a tremendous work in Dothan, Ala.

Our second need is also urgent. Shiloh Bible Baptist Church in Punta, Dipolog City, is seeking $600 to add a wing to its building. The construction needs to be done by May, because the church will have its anniversary service then. Its anniversary service will be a time when many of the other church missionaries and pastors visit, and they will use it as an outreach opportunity. Right now, the church seats only 100 people, and these fishers of men are hoping to add to the building before the nets break. We do not have any ministries helping us raise the money for this project, but if you want to give, please contact us and we can tell you how can help. You can contact us at our e-mail address, or if you are reading this on the Facebook page, send us a message through Facebook. We will reply promptly. Understand, we at Homegrown Harvesters are not yet able to give you tax deductions. But we pray that God will bless you abundantly if you help us raise this money.

Below is a portion of an email we received from one of the parishioners of the church in Dipolog. She has been praying for years about this kind of ministry, and it is exciting to be a part of the ministry God put on her heart years ago.

God's work is great and definitely need more laborers, not only laborers but also need resources to touch the great victory and more people will get saved. We know that God is coming back soon, but we do a little work in His work. Here in the Philippines, we are trying to maximized our man power, but we can't go beyond that since we are lacked of resources to use. We are praying God will equip us for His glory and honor. I am so excited in prayers and in action in this ministry. ... I know God has in-store a wonderful and amazing things when we do our part. He is mighty and able to when we are willing to be used.

Our brothers and sisters in the Philippines are willing to do whatever it costs to reach their countrymen, but they are not always able. God has blessed us in the West with financial gains. Please, please consider giving to help our family there reach others for Christ. What cost could be too great to change someone's eternity?

We are praying to meet both of these goals by the end of March. Please pray and seek God for these needs. May God's grace abound toward you today.
