As most of you know by now we are going home. We'll be leaving here the 14th of Oct. and arriving in Sea-Tac the 15th. Before we go there are a few things we need to do like get rid of the pigs and butcher the chickens. Then we are in the final stages of building the new chrch in MagSaySay. We are planning the dedication services the 10th of Oct. I've put in a few pictures of the construction.

Church pews under construction

The congragation decided they wanted pews for the church. So how to finance them was the next question. They took up pledges and met their goal. Christina and I donated the trees, they had them cut to spects. and let them dry. Two weeks ago they started plaining and sanding. At this time we have four completed. Will have pictures to follow. They want to varnish them also. I think it's amazing that the pastor has them only work one day a week so that they can take care of everything else. I've never seen such good fellowship. They are doing this as unto the Lord. No pay, but we feed them.

UPDATE

I KNOW I'M LATE , PLEASE FORGIVE ME. WE HAVE BEEN SO BUSY, BY THE TIME IT'S TIME TO BLOG I'M TO TIRED. I NEVER HAVE BEEN MUCH OF A LETTER WRITER ANYWAY. MY DAD USED TO SAY THE ONLY TIME YOU WRITE HOME IS WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING.

WE'VE BEEN BUSY WITH THE CHURCHES TWO ARE IN BUILDING STAGE RIGHT NOW. HAVE TO WAIT FOR PAYDAY TO START. THINGS TAKE A LOT LONGER DOWN HERE THAN IT DOES IN THE STATES. THE PEOPLE JUST DON'T MOVE LIKE WE DO. I TELL THE YOUNG PEOPLE IF THEY EVER GET TO THE STATES, WHEN THEY GET OFF THE PLANE THEY BETTER BE RUNNING. THEY ARE REALLY LAID BACK DOWN HERE. THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THEY LIVE SO LONG. AT ANY RATE WE'VE TURNED OUR CHURCHES OVER TO A/G TO FREE US UP PLANT MORE CHURCHES AND NOT BE TIED DOWN TO THE DAY TO DAY OPPERATION.

CHRISTINA AND I ARE RAISING 15 PIGS TO HELP SUBSIDIZE BUILDING OUR HOUSE ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AS WE TURNED OVER THE DOWNSTAIRS TO THE CHURCH FOR CLASSROOMS. WE HELPED ORDAIN THREE NEW PASTORS INTO THE A/G. WHAT A THRILL TO BE ENVOLVED WITH THE ASSEMBLIES LIKE THAT.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES WE ARE GOING TO RAISE THE ROOF AND PUT OUR HOUSE ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

REPORTING IN

It's been some time since I've posted and I must apologize for the lack of discipline. We have had a lot going on what with bringing in 15 new pigs into the barn. We hope they will help to subsidize the ministry. The only problem I see is that the last month they can eat you out of house and home but we decided we can eat rice and fish that last month. You see 15 pigs eat 25 kilos of feed a day at that point. As Jesus said some of this comes by prayer and fasting.

We just got back from a sectional meeting of A/G where we interviewed a young pastor to come and pastor our church as we have not had a regular pastor for about 6 months.

We finally received the title to the property over in Mag Say Say so we can make preparations to build something as the Lord provides. We have also been privileged to be a part of the ordination of three new pastors into the A/G. They are pastoring three new works. It's getting exciting to see what God is doing here and it's a privilege to serve him.
