Praise God for His answered prayers

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. -- Revelation 4:11


This verse was the subject text of the midweek sermon at Pastor Mario Montero's church this week. It is appropriate that we praise our God and Saviour this week.


We asked you to pray yesterday for Pastor Bhoys family, the victims of violence in the Philippines. Praise God, Pastor Bhoy's wife, brother and sister-in-law all received the necessary transfusions, and they will all be released within two days, doctors estimate. Pastor Bhoy's wife has been released.


The story of the provision for the transfusion is one of amazing sovereignty and providence of God, but we will ask you to trust us on that one for now. Still, we rejoice in this good news.


Of course, there are still health issues to be considered, so please continue to pray for their recovery. Also, our dear brothers and sisters still have a burden for their people. Please pray for their protection, boldness and fruitfulness as they share their faith. 


On another topic, we do ask for prayers for Punta. Parts of it have been affected by flooding, still held over from the Typhoon Sendong disaster. Rains have continued, the waters have risen again. No damage to the church, but some of the members' homes have been affected.


Thanks to all who prayed. May we continue to see God work through this ministry.
