Independent, Fundamental, Baptist Missionaries | Taguig City, Philippines
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, … (Mark 16:20a)

PRAISE REPORTS:
 Praise the Lord that we have seen a great im-
provement in the behavior of many of our “un-
churched” Sunday School children. The Lord
used our recent VBS ministry to be able to
spend a week with them and talk to them
about how to behave in the house of God! This
is a point of rejoicing because now they are
ready to hear God’s precious Word!
 Praise God for His good hand of blessing and
providence. The VBS children of a supporting
church gave us a generous love-gift and we are
humbled by their giving. Thank you to Grace
Baptist Church, Oxford, PA. God is good.
 Praise God for increasing our Saturday gospel
tract distributors. Last year, we were able to
give 15,000 pieces, and with the current
growth we are nearing 13,000 pieces already.
Amen!
 Praise the Lord for new visitors! A lady came
and returned and is proving faithful to the ser-
vices. Edong, the new convert, has been
attending regularly. A young man from the
children’s Sunday School came to all the ser-
vices, and has a desire to grow spiritually. He is
one of the boys who made a profession of faith
during our VBS.
 Praise God for safety and favor. Our prison
ministry is doing good by God’s grace.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
 Pray that we would see fruit from our outreach
ministries. We sow and by faith we expect to
see a harvest.
 Pray for continued spiritual growth in the lives
of many of our brothers and sisters here in
Tuktukan.
 Pray for wisdom and boldness as we minister.
John Marcia Monsoon - the weather pattern
Lot has changed, and now we are in
the “rainy season.” Wow! Two
huge “typhoons” (aka, hurricanes
in the west) barely made landfall
Kate
Joe WT and several low pressure areas
Bambi
greeted us this month with week-
long rain and flooding causing
more traffic, as well as school &
office cancellations. Praise God
that we were able to work around the rain and continue our outreach minis-
tries. God is good! If you need rain, let us know. You can have some.
Despite the season, we have seen faithfulness in many of our Sunday
School children, regular church attenders, and even some new visitors.
Prison Ministry - What a privilege to
be able to freely preach the gospel of
the Lord Jesus Christ to a captive audi-
ence. Even though at times the jailhouse
gets overcrowded, I still manage to get
in and preach God’s Word. Many have
expressed thanks and appreciation, and
others are hardened, but we leave the
results to God. Please pray that the Lord
would get the glory and that many would turn to the Lord from sin to salva-
tion, and then into the service of the King of kings!
Growth - Nothing brings joy to the
heart of a minister than to see souls
saved and lives changed for God’s glo-
ry. The young man sitting beside WT is
Emer. He got saved in our very first
VBS. He’s been faithful to the chil-
dren’s Sunday School and now he start-
WT and Emer ed to attend the AM and PM services.
Another family started attending both
services regularly. I still get pleasantly surprised when a new visitor attends,
when they return, and most especially when they stick. It is a joy to see the
Lord working with us and among us. Thank you for your earnest and fervent
prayers for us. You truly are partners and fellowhelpers in the ministry here.
