Today, we want to share with you a prayer request from the southern part of Zamboanga. Preacher Leopoldo Yungod believes in asking for grand things when he prays.
This man was sent to Suba-nipa, a port that connects Olotangga with Mindanao (we are using our source's spelling of Olotangga, though there appears to be an alternate spelling), in 2010. In the most recent prayer list sent to us by our source from the mother church in Ozamis, Preacher Leopoldo made some bold requests.
The mission's goal for 2011-2012 is "300 souls to be saved, added to church and serve faithfully." Before the first anniversary set for Nov. 21-22, the goal is "100 saved and baptized."
We share this one with you because there's nothing you or I can do except pray for this. Sometimes, in our American self-sufficiency, we want to focus on what we can do for people. Sometimes, we think that when we give or raise funds, it is our money and our wisdom and strength that provides. But in any case, it is always God who provides. Even so, only God can bring 300 souls out of spiritual deadness into faithful, loving service, and only God can add 100 souls before November.
Will you join us in praying for this mission?
Most definitely we will be praying. It is so exciting what God is doing in the Philippines.
