Dear Brethren,

It is a good things to give thanks to the Lord for His mercy endures forever.
Have a blessed day and a wonderful day brethren in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I was in the spiritual battlerield among the tribal villages in the mountainous
areas in the province of Bukidnon. Daily ministering the Gospel of salvation and
teaching the pure word of God to our local tribal Churches and house church
fellowship over (13) local congregation located in the different villages hiking
passing through the mountain cliff terrain that only human being can pass the
skipping.

While I'm ministering at them I have seen the deep cry of help in their hearts,
even they were not telling me their problems of life, I personally notice to
their action and observation to each tribal bfamily. They were victims of
continued political chaos, economics crisis and war between the government armed
forces against communist rebels and Muslims rebels that was stationed in the
mountains and countryside.

Many of our their tribal family members were run to the city seeking a haven for
peace and safety, few months ago later their food supply was drained already and
food is hard to find, they become a great problem in the society, cause they are
not educated nor having skill to look for a job. It was happened to them, nobody
dares to care mainly in the civil society and even the Christian Churches in the
City. They had a heart of stone or stone hearted people, selfish and arrogant
showed no mercy and love to our brethren that was considered as third class
people in the society. It is sad to say there precious tribal family who had
gone to the city they become thief, drug addict, drug pusher and young women
become a fly by night and a prostitute in order to survive. Their poor parent
roaming around in the city street corners carrying their small infants and small
children begging for food. Oh God help us!

As their Pastor and Spiritual Leader my heart filled with such pain and
overwhelming sadness to know and see these hard and bad things that was ever
happened to God's wonderful people Central Mindanao. My wife (Rose) and I wanted
to rescue them and bring them back to their houses in the mountain villages
where they could restart again to normal Christian living, God fearing and
active in the service of God.
These could not be done by ourselves alone. We are praying for a financial
breakthrough for the rescue and restoration of our tribal family member from bad
habit and bad influence in the city to holy and righteous living. These will be
our Christmas Gifts to each tribal family who are victims of political chaos and
war in Mindanao. God is looking for someone who have had a heart like Moses who
had deep compassian and heavy burden to rescue God's people (Israelites) from
their cruel
task masters in Egypt Pharaoh, into the land of promise (Canaan). We are serving
the same God, who parted the Red sea and saved 3 Hebrew children from the fiery
furnace and rescue Daniel from the lion's den.
God is calling His churches as His hands and feet in order to demonstrate His
love and compassion to the lost and dying humanity including the less fortunate
tribal people of Mindanao. There are things we consider, that most of you can't
go with us to rescue them, because of far distance country and to visit here is
not easy, but through your prayer and financial assistance, the same as you work
with us, right?
Help us pray for these rescue project ($I.75O.OO) is the estimated cost budget.
These funds will be used for the Transport of tribal family, vehicle rental,
gasoline, food during travel time, rice cereal, cans, mineral water, milk juices
and bread for infant and children.

I remember in the time or Moses, while they vere sojourning 40 years in the
wilderness God sustained His people by providing them Manna for food and water
to drink and even things they need for in order to surive to reach the land of
promise.

God commission His Church to do such things like Moses did in the past. Apostle
James it says "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the father is this: is
to visit the fatherless and widows in their affiction and to keep oneself
unspotted from the world," Paul said in Rom. 12:13 distributing to the necessity
of saints, given to hospitality". Even our Lord Jesus, He preach the kingdom as
God, heals the sick and feed thousand hungry people in His time. You and me are
part of His great commission. Right? Praise God! Hallelujah! Amen, Oh come on,
let's do it!


Your prayer and financial assistance will be a great blessings towards the
impoverished poor tribal family victims of political and economics crisis in
Mindanao into joyful and normal Christian living. Please send your Christmas
Gifts and Contribution.

May these Christmas holiday season our hearts will be filled with joy and
gladness as we will distribute the gifts to our less Fortunate brethren, and the
spirit of giving will be in our hearts. God Bless you.

Lovingly Your's in Christ,
