Thanks For the Support! Linda and Laura are back doing school work and enjoying it too! Linda said to Malou, “Mommy, why is math so easy now?” My wife told her it was because she worked with Linda using flash cards. Linda is a cracker jack at math now. Malou uses the flash card and speed answering techniques at Church also and all the children have improved grades. My New Song One day I sat down and God let me write a song. I call it “Tribulation” I thought it was pretty good but when our member, Sister Beverly sings it, it transforms to wonderful! We are working on the video now. I hope it to be done by the end of the week. Livelihood Program Our Livelihood program is continuing. We will soon put out our links to buy jewelry, bags, and accessories as well as our new: Pinoy Toys which include vintage (1945) Teddy Bears made from old patterns my Grandmother had. We have some really nice collectible bears. We will introduce them soon for Christmas. The People in Payatas need your Prayers The government is tearing down some of the homes where the squatters live. these people have worked hard enabling the Governments waste management program with no pay from the Government. Now the Mayor wants to build some homes. He says they are for the poor but the poor are the ones being evicted. Once the homes are built they are priced for middle class incomes. The poor could not afford them. Many of our children come from these homes. Please pray the Government stops hurting the poor people here. | NOTE: I just incorporated my photo and family links to this list so if you are receiving this and do not wish to, please scroll to the bottom and click on unsubscribe. Thanks. God Always Provides I was reading in the Bible: 1 Kings 18:44 And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, behold there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand,… It is a very exciting scripture with promise. Elijah had King Ahab hating him. He was on top of the hill and sent his servant to look for rain. The servant came back and said there was no sign. He sent him back seven times and finally the servant said he saw a little cloud. Elijah was waiting for rain that would take many big clouds to refill all the lakes and streams that were dry from the drought however, when he heard about the little cloud he knew, the time was coming for it to replenish the land with water. Some times we see a little movement and think, that will never do but God wants you to see how He will fix your needs. He wants you to have faith. The 2013 Camp Experience We were at a standstill raising support for the children’s camp. Then we got a small donation and I got excited. I could see how easily God could supply our needs. We went to the last day with no more donations and then they came. We raised the rest of the money on the last day. Praise God. Thanks for all of you that heard God speak and you answered by praying and/or financially supporting the kids! Take a look to see: CAMP Vacation Bible School VBS, also went off without a hitch. We also was dangling unto the last moment that funds were provided for crafts and food for the kids. The children look forward to VBS every year and it helps to make them stronger with their walk with Christ. Click here to see those Photos:VBS The Church continues to Grow! A result of VBS and Camp in Laguna is that we now have about Twenty new children coming to Church. We also have five new adults! Please continue to pray with us that God will finance the PBC Compound for which we have been praying. So that we can realize our goal of a large Church facility, school , a medical clinic, and a covered court to reach out every weekend to the people of Payatas. The total cost is about $5 million dollars which God will have no problem providing. Spring brings New Growth With the increase in attendance comes more children who wish to learn to play instruments. We have a wonderful mentoring program. Now, whoever wishes to learn goes first to those who teach reading notes. After learning to read notes they learn how to play those notes. Once they learn to play two songs, they are given an instrument to play. It doesn’t become officially theirs until they show that they are faithful attendees and faithful in their practice. They really do well here. Will You Help? Payatas Mission Outreach, Inc. & Payatas Baptist Church depends on the mercy of others to keep going.
