I hope you have been blessed after reading the newsletters above. I also hope that you were inspired of my story and my journey. If you were touched by the ministry of Jesus' love and His story as the LIVING HOPE I pray that you as well can take part and act upon your own calling. When we received the redemption, love and forgiveness of God in our life we also received the mission to love our neighbors and to spread the good news. I do pray that if you have not started yet on giving back as you have received what you and I don't deserve at all but by the grace of the Lord we did, that today you will give back in the best way you can. It doesn't need to be big and great but on your little efforts on loving others, strangers and those who needs the love of God it will create a ripple that will continue to the ends of the earth. Join us! Pray for us, pray with us or if you are stirred up and compelled you can give and support the work in the mission field of any kind. Contact us and get more details about the ministry but first here are some prayer request:
1. For the work in Suai to continue even in my absence for about 2 months. 2. For the hearts of the people in Suai that it will be open for the Gospel. 3. For the protection of the ambassadors of Christ in Suai for they are still in persecution. 3. We are praying for the open door to start a preschool in Dili to reach out more children and to help give free education. There's already an open door but we are still not ready financially and praying for the provision to come if that's the will of the Lord. 4. We are also praying to start a preschool in Fatulor for the small children there are not getting education because there's no school available for it's far from the town. 5. PRAYING for a regular church service in Fatulor. 6. Praying as well for Kamanasa the community of Mana Jinha, the other location we have reached out for the ministry to grow. 7. Pray for the organization of Ba Futuru that they may continue the work they are doing to help Timor-Leste. 8. Pray for me to have enough finances to come back by 2nd week of September to continue what have been started. Pray for me to be prepared as well not just financially but physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Thank you all for the prayers and God bless you all for those who have been praying and supporting and to everyone who are reading this! 6.6

My Adventure in Suai Timor-Leste "My version of promised Land!"
It's such an honour to serve this land. God has been leading me to go to Timor-Leste for 2 years now and I have no idea what I should expect or experience but God being Him gave me one of the biggest adventure of my life as of the moment. This experience has lots of FIRST!
1. My first time to be in a mission field for about 5 months. 2. My first time to really actually need to learn the language. 3. My first time to fly with a charter plane while seeing the pilot doing their thing. It was an 8 sitter plane. 4. My first time to be out of work for many months for missions. 5. My first time to teach English lesson (like I'm expert in their language!) 6. My first time to walk for 2 hrs in the dark because we got no ride from the village we were reaching out. 7. My first time to be on an eroding road for 8 hours. 8. My first time to sleep in a wall less house while in the mission trip. 9. I definitely ate lots of new vegetables! 10. I will never forget my first experience to be a back up singing for a worship team in the stage for Sunday Service. (when I'm on roster I always feel like I want to back out..haha) 11. My first time to do an open to public art exhibition for the education of the community children. 12. My first time to be an official photographer of an organization. 13. My first time to share my testimony and the word of God in a new language besides english and tagalog.
I think there's a lot more but I been there for that long I can't even remember it all. The experience was beyond amazing and beyond words. I definitely need to thank Jesus for getting me there and letting me see, smell, hear and touch life like I have never before! Praise God!
