Anniversaries upcoming

It has been a little while since we posted here. We just want to update you on some more prayer needs.

As we discussed in a previous post, the anniversary services are times of great outreach and evangelism, as well as a time to celebrate the work God has already done. For example, at the recent anniversary celebration at Shiloh Bible Baptist Church in Salug, close to 10 people prayed to receive Christ and two families were baptized.

We have two anniversaries this month and two in May for which we should pray.

• Pastor Greg Begafria, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, April 19
• Pastor JoJo Begafria, Leon B. Postigo, Zamboanga del Norte, April 26
• Pastor Raffy Begafria, Tampilisan and Liloy, Zamboanga del Norte, May 24-25
• Pastor Mario Montero, Punta, Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, May 31

You may notice a recurring family name among the missionaries for whom we request prayer. The Begafria family are many pastors.

We would note this: Pastors Jojo and Raffy Begafria are praying for some funds to help make ready for the anniversary service. Pastor Jojo is praying for 5,000 Philippine Pesos, and Pastor Raffy 20,000 pesos. As this article is written, the exchange rate is just below 43 pesos per dollar. It's not a lot to us in the United States, but it can make a lot of difference in the Philippines.

God will provide. Let's just pray for it and see how He accomplishes it. Also, please pray for these services, that God would be glorified and souls would be saved.
