Thanksgiving and praise

Today, we bring a prayer request and a time of thanks. 

Later this week, Bro. Joel and Sister Lea, pictured below, will hold the Thanksgiving celebration for the children of their ministry outreach with Shiloh Bible Baptist Church in Punta, Dipolog City. Their ministry is going to be called Obadiah Learning and Development, and since that is the name of the future and because we are partial to Old Testament minor prophets, we use that name already.

As the school term has drawn to a close (and if you want to read more about the ministry, try this link), it is time for the children to have a celebration with their families. Bro. Joel and Sister Lea will provide the food, the entertainment, and (if God provides) a trip to the pool. They are praying also to give individual gifts to all the children and family members (estimated at 100 people). 

Of course, the Gospel will also be presented. 

This event is Friday in the Philippines, but with the international dateline, it will be Thursday for us in the U.S. Bro. Joel asks us to pray for "the gospel witness, good weather, food preparation, transportation and presents." Please join us as we lift our prayers ahead of this event. May God bring in a harvest of souls through the witness of this dear couple.

As always, if you feel led to do more than pray, we do accept gifts through Love in Action Ministries. Their contact info is:

If you decide to give to this particular need, please make a note that the gift should go toward SBBC Punta Children's Ministry.

Most of all, please join us in praying for this event, and for this ministry. Pray God will send us people who have a heart for the lost and see the vision we have here.
