Pray Requests

Update from Palawan and Pray requests:
Today is my last day in the lowland where the internet, running water, and electricity are available. But before I hike back into the mountains I wanted to leave a little update about what things are happening right now in Palawan.
1) School: We are nearing the end of our second quarter at our little mission school in the mountains. It's be nothing short of an adventure so far. We recently have been forced to cancel two of our highschool classes as one of our missionaries here ended her time with us. We still are teaching Bible, Math, Philipino (Tagalog), English, typing and teacher training to our 6 highschool students. It is very sad though that they no longer have a science or history class which were taught by Kiana. We hope to begin them again when Kent and Leonda (our career missionaries return at the end of March) but even that will be a hard untaking as they have many other responsibilties here at the mission. Therefore, I asked that you'll join us in prayer for more teachers. There have been some potiential proscepts that have even visited the mountains but nobody has been found to fill the position. Pray for more teachers.
2) Our Students: Half way through the year can become a bit of a low point for our students and in the past this is when we have some decided to leave school. Recently after a serious situation involving two girls being demonicly harassed a close friend of theirs and a very promising young man named Nitu decided to quit school. We praise God that just recently he has returned to church but we still prayer that he will desire to come back to school. Pray for our students.
3) Transition: Like I mentioned above the project here is going through a bit of a transition. During the past 5 months our career missionaries have been on furlough in the states and we praise the Lord that the things that were holding them back from returning earlier are now moved out of the way and they are coming back. For the current SM's it comes as a relief to have our leaders back with us. It's been an amzing adventure but we are ready to return some of the bigger responsibilties back into their more experienced hands. Also, we recently had to say goodbye to our dear friend Kiana whose service term here in Palawan has come to an end. We all looked up to her and admired her devotion to the people here. She is surely missed but we are confindent that God is leading her 'in the paths of righteousness for His name sake' as she opens a new chapter of her life starting her career as a teacher back in the States. She leaves big whole in our team here 'not physically.' So I just ask that for your prayers as we make some adjustments over the following weeks.
4) Lowland team and supporting ministries: During the past few months their has been controversy and many hurt feelings as there has been a time of unrest for the PAMAS team. They are a branch of GMI that works hand in hand with the AFM team here. I with hold many details because I don't feel it's my place to share them. Recently, there leader suffered a three gun shot wounds two to the face and one in chest at his home in Manila. By a miracle of God, Dewayne Harrison is alive and recovering and is still in need of prayers. Satan has given not rest to the rest of their team and ours down here in Brookes Point. Please pray also for Danny Henson, his wife and two daughters as they plan for the soon future.
5) We need the latter rain. Revelation 18 describes a scene of whole world being lightened with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, prophesy tell us during this time just before the second coming there will be a revival of true godliness among God's remnant people as has never before been witnessed just before the time of trouble and the triumphant return of Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I pray that you personally ask God to pour upon you the early rain, (Joel 2 18-32) representing a daily portion of His Holy Spirit that will begin to change our hearts and lives to be more like the perfect example our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I ask that you join us as we do the same each day here in Kamantian. Jesus is coming soon!!! and, " being confident is this very things, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Phil 1:6 and "He who calls you is faithful and who will also do it."
He will prepare us for that time, if we commit our lives to Him today and every day.
