WHEEEEW!

It’s All about the Kids!   The things we do with these kids now will stay with them for a lifetime. All over the world there are poor kids that are abused, hungry, homeless and are learning from society every evil that can be foisted upon them. At PBC these children are learning that God loves them and we are showing them that love because we love them too. We are teaching them that moral standards still have a place in this world. Ethics is not just a word. Do you know that here in what may be the filthiest places in the world we teach them not to litter! It sounds incredible but these kids are learning to respect others as well as themselves. We have accomplished much in this place and we will accomplish much more as we get your continued support. To make a one time gift or to establish monthly support:       JOLLIBEE MAKES SMILES   We got an email from  new friends. Brother Errol & Sister Laarmi are missionaries in Mindoro. They told me that they had some friends visiting from the States and that they would all like to come to see the dumpsite if that would be okay. Well of course it was okay and so they came and brought with them 200 Jollibee hamburger steak meals. So off we went to distribute them to the kids at the Dumpsite. You must know that the cost of one meal is probably what their father would earn in one day. We passed out the gospel and ministered with the meat and the meat of the word. SEE IT HERE! SETTLING IN We are slowly settling into the new rental. We were able by the grace of God and some generous people, to buy a refrigerator. We were able also to put screens on the windows. The first week there the natives in the hills decide to burn the hills after the crops of whatever they grow were picked. Subsequently, millions of these flying bugs swarmed and attacked the village. They have a very short life spam so they wound up dead on the floors and everywhere else in the house. This happened twice. Now you know the priority for screens. We still do not have the luxury of sitting on a couch or sleeping in beds or even eating at a normal table but there is a reason and purpose for everything under heaven and I am sure to find out the reason for this also. Did anyone catch April as it whirled by?   We had such an amazing month. We started off  broke as usual and asking God what was going on about the Vacation Bible School and the Camp for the Payatas Kids. In all appearances He was telling us that it was not going to happen but boy were we wrong. Just about April 9th or so, I was writing to an old friend (snail mail-I still do that once in a while) and I wrote this: “This year, unless a miracle happens within a couple of weeks, no one will be going to camp. There just aren?t any sponsors. ” Six days later, we had raised enough to send 15 kids and we thought that was wonderful. The donations kept coming in even two days after the kids left (We needed funds for their return transportation) so much that instead of transporting 15 kids in a rickety old Jeepny we transported 45 kids on a brand new air conditioned bus! Once again, you have amazed me as you allowed yourself to be used by God. Thank you all so much. You have given some very poor children some peace in their life. Click here and scroll to photos to see!     Vacation Bible School was accomplished also as we had 102 registered students. Each day God provided for the crafts, supplies and for feeding the children. It all culminated at a very joyful graduation ceremony on Saturday and afterwards, everyone had Halo-Halo. Many children have professed Jesus as Lord and Savior. Click here to see!    I have an urgent need and once again have to turn to our supporters to fulfill that need. My daughter Laura is homeschooled by my wife. We get the basic books for free but extra books, shipping and administration fees we have to pay. Laura needs her books to be sent to us. $50 annual enrollment and $125 administration fee at 50% discount. Shipping of the books will cost at least $108 (that was the price last year.) So we basically need about $300 If you will help out with this expense please go to: http://www.payatasmissionoutreach.org/donation.asp where you can pay by check, credit or debit. Thank you. PRAY FOR US AS WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU

GOD BLESS!     Pastor  Jack & Malou
