You probably Don't know that we came back from the Philippines on emergency leave. I bought a motorcycle for transportation as our car broke down. As we were coming home we encountered a truck that ran us off the road. After picking the bike off me I realized I had a broken foot. the next day i checked into the hospital in Ormoc City. where I stayed a month. The Dpctor to;d me that he was going to take my foot off. I said not on my watch and told Christina to make arrangments to come home. Got into Bremerton on the 18th and checked into Harrison. I'm. now in Belmont.Hope to be out of here in another month.
Leave comments here for Rob. He would love to hear from you while he is convalescing at Stafford Healthcare at Belmont, the former Belmont Terrace in East Bremerton.
Surprise, I'm back. I'll try this again as it's been somr time since my last report. As you know the service down here is very very slow. I thought with a new laptop it would help. I have to say that things have been very productive what with feeding the children. we are feeding over 100 as the enrollment went up this season. Even had to find more chairs for the classroom. Am starting a new jail ministry in Isabel. They have a 2 cell jail and I really excited to get started. We're just about finished with the fence around the place so that we can secure it when we leave. Our pastors are very busy as we have 7churches and 3 outreaches all being done by 2 pastors and some leaders.I want to thank Ken for encouraging me to start writing in the blog again. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to send a picture. I'm sure someone will let me know. MAY THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU SAFE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
When asked to give a description of our ministry, what comes to mind is the book of Acts. You see, I was trained up in the Full Gospel Business Mens Fellowship, which to me is hands-on training. When the Lord said "Go", I went, whether it was visiting prison inmates or going to a camp meeting. FGBMF events were excellent training grounds and I believe I learned faster in those than anywhere else. A friend of mine, Brother Bill Cundiff told me one day, "Rob, you have a New Testament Church".
I believe our vison is that of the Lord - go and tell. The Bible books of Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts all refer to going and telling. So it must be very important to the Lord.
How God led us into the Philippines was really quite simple. My wife is Philippine. In 1999 we went to visit her family and while there, I had the privilege of praying for a lady that had suffered a stroke causing the left side of her face to be contorted. I told the Lord, "I don't speak the language". He said, "I know that. Use your prayer language". Well, I went to praying for her and when I was done she left. She was gone two days and during that time the Lord told me to build a church. I said, "Right! How? We don't have any money". He said, "Go back home and sell your motorcycle". "But Lord, we've only had it six months and were members of C.M.A. - Christian Motorcycle Association". Well, you can guess the rest of the story. The Lord won. Today, we have established three local churches here and we are full time missionaries. And the lady that I prayed for, the Lord completely healed her and she's working here in the village. PRAISE GOD!
