Below is a letter from our coworkers in the Philippines. After years of time in the tribe, Ray and Chris have begun teaching the Word of God for the first time this month!

We wanted to share their story with you because this is what it is all about. The Word is going out to those who have never had the chance to hear! Thank you to all of you that pray for us and support us and know that you are part of the team taking the Gospel to dark places!

As we celebrated Easter, I couldn’t get out of my mind the faces in these pictures. I was so overwhelmed with the fact that I so easily take the sacrifice of the cross for granted and even I forget that there are thousands who have never even had the chance to hear about our amazing Savior.

Please continue to pray for Ray and Chris and their coworkers Danny and Philippa as they send forth the good news.

Hi to all our co-workers.

Firstly, we just want to say a big thanks for all your prayers for us over the last days. We have really sensed that there were many prayers being offered up for us. It was amazing to have such a peaceful day, even though it was pretty full on. The week before our teaching was a pretty difficult one, and at times was almost overwhelming. But as we moved into this last week, there was a real calm and peace. We know that there were many praying all over the world, so we are so thankful to God and give Him all the glory.

As many of you know, we are teaching three groups, each twice a week. We have bought a bunch of chairs, and are using three of the peoples houses in the area, that are a bit better and larger than most of the others. We had a good attendance yesterday with most coming that said they would. We taught in three different places and in all, we estimate just over 100 people came. It is a difficult time of the year as many are fishing all night for squid, and come back pretty tired. We are very excited to see how the Lord will work everything out, and trust Him to continue to bring the people back for the following lessons.

The first lesson was about who God is, his attributes and creation. The next couple of lessons will be about the fall of man, and the angels, and we will also deal with the spirit world e.g., where do the spirits come from?

We are really thrilled at the way it all went yesterday, so once again, thanks for the big part you all played in this in holding us up in prayer.

Things to pray for.

1/ That the people would keep coming, especially the men.

2/ That the people would have a clear understanding of the truth.

3/ We will be sending through some photos of some key people that we would ask you to pray for. These people hold more influence in the area than most, so we would ask you to pray that they would remain interested, and ultimately come to know Christ.

Let us all praise God for what He is doing.
