Prayer Updates


We are pleading for you to pray for us without ceasing. I hope that the words of the apostle Paul in Phil. 1:4-6 may also be true in our lives

In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

First, we want to praise the Lord for his provisions for our children’s schooling. A big amount was needed just to start the home schooling program and God provided people who helped us arrange with Living Heritage Academy in Paranaque and for people who actually gave.

Second, we are thankful to the Lord that we are granted 3-month non-immigrant visa. However, a substantial amount of our support went with it. Please pray for us as we need to extend it to one year this coming September 21. We need at least U$ 900 of one year visa for the whole family.

Third, please pray for a more regular support. We are thankful to the Lord for the financial supports that reach us. We are doubly grateful that those supports came just at the right time when we need them the most. However, as we stay here longer, the supports become more irregular both in amount and frequency. We are praying that God would touch people to mobilize for us with regards to this matter.

Fourth, pray for our respective ministries mentioned above. The Lord impressed upon us that we need to focus on these ministries as we find it very difficult to work with local people because of language and different culture. Thus the possibility of deeper involvement in the church ministries are not possible at this point in time.

Fifth, we are praying for a motorcycle we can used in our daily ministry. We found out lately that the old motorcycle we are using are not registered because it was pawned by its previous user and does not have proper documentation.

Sixth, please pray for our plan to hold an English Camp this October. This is an opportunity to share the gospel to the children. We are also praying for muslim friend who are planning this with us will become a Christian.

Finally, pray also for other PGM missionaries who are ministering here in Thailand. Jepth and Apple Garcia as their Hope Children House are also running out of funds. Ate Imel Tabije for her health and her MY CENTER ministry. Pappet with their Elpis School in Mae Sot. Pray also for Chit Panizales who has been our faithful partner in the ministry.

Hi Chriz,

Thanks for the prayers. I can not overstate this more. Your prayers mean a lot to us here.

We are trying our best to be sensitive to God's leading becase we may be doing the best but if it's not God's plan and purpose for us, then it worth nothing.

You have been an encouragement to us. Spread the word!

Kuya Joey and everyone
