Our friends in the Philippines often live in conditions we cannot imagine. Pastor Mario Montero, his wife and his four children live in a small room above the church.
The kitchen and sleeping area for this family is smaller than most of our bedrooms in the United States. They don't complain; they work and serve the Lord while living in a small area.
But lately, the roof has started leaking. We would say it only leaks when it rains, but on Mindanao, it always rains. Even though the adult daughters sleep down inside the church now, there is not much room for the pastor and his wife and two small children to go to avoid the water.
The repairs can be done for only $1,300. But for this church in Punta, which ministers primarily to the poor, this amount is hard to reach. Let's join with them in praying for this amount of money. (Full disclosure: This amount of money includes repairs to church benches, but we don't know how much is roof and how much is benches. Since they need both, we ask for the whole amount.)
If you desire to help financially, we will be glad to have your help. As always, you can contact our friends at Love in Action if you want to make a tax deductible gift.
Many thanks for your prayers, and for your gifts. May our Lord Jesus Christ richly bless you!
