There's so much to be thankful for this November! We are thankful for family and friends, for our faithful partners who enable us to serve as missionaries, and for the amazing opportunities that God gives us to share His love and Word!
Here's a few updates-
- Our youth were invited to share at both chapel services at Brent International School this month. The school has over 300 students, elementary through high school, from 20+ nations. It was a wonderful opportunity for our Project Life Subic youth group to share the Gospel through testimonies, skits and song! Anthony, our youth leader, continues to do a wonderful job with the TWO youth groups! He will graduate college with a degree in Mass Communications next May!
- Our Alternative Learning System program (we partner with the department of education) continues to meet every Wednesday. The teacher, Cat, is a sweet Christian woman with a heart for ministry. She is preparing the students for the high school exam to be held in December. Tina, our staff member coordinating this program, leads the prayer time and shares a devotion. The students are learning a lot about God's character and it is helping to shape them into excellent students.
- Sonny is busy preparing for this week's LightStrike in Matain. We are partnering with the Barangay Captain and his staff to bring solar light to the slums in that community.
- Our soapmaking training was a success! Nine students attended and are now planning on starting home businesses. For our local bargirls, this is another step forward to freedom in their lives. We'll be having a "fun day" next week to practice our soap making skills and fellowship!
- Please pray- this Friday Leslie leads a meeting of potential volunteers who will help with the New Beginnings Bargirl bible study. We have a social worker from a well-known anti-trafficking organization coming to speak and educate us on the issues and needs surrounding this type of ministry. The prostitutes in our community are asking for a "church" that they can attend. Most work nights and sleep mornings, so we are hoping to provide a bible study in the afternoon, replete with worship, prayer and a short sermon or devotion. We also hope to provide a drop-in center where the girls can always feel safe and have prayer/counseling and referrals.
- BIG NEWS!!! We will soon be switching from our blogspot to a NEW WEBSITE (currently under construction). You can click here www.projectlifesubic.org and subscribe now. Then you will receive notification when it is completed!
