Cebu 2 You

MAAYONG PASKO AND MAAYONG BAG-ONG TUIG

Greetings from Cebu. We pray this newsletter finds you healthy and preparing for this Christmas season, preparing to enjoy the Reason for the Season. Jesus Christ. We are praying for each of you a joyous Christmas time with your family and friends.  Thanksgiving Celebration

We were blessed this year to celebrate

Thanksgiving in the traditional ways. For the

second time in 13 Thanksgivings I was blessed

with a real Thanksgiving dinner with all the

trimmings. Sheilani and I were blessed to

share Thanksgiving with Pastor Eddie

Fernandez from CC Mactan and his family

along with another couple from their church.

Marcella cooked everything from scratch and

we feasted as we broke bread together and

had sweet fellowship. We all have so much to

be thankful for.

Our School feeding

Our feeding at Camp Lapu-Lapu elementary school continues each Monday with over 300-400 children. We can now expand to even more but even though “the harvest is ripe, the workers are few”. We have many workers but as we prepare to add another 100-200 children, we need more workers. Pray for God’s provision and for additional workers.

Street Kids Ministry

Our Street Kids Ministry

has tapered off at 18-20

kids each Sunday evening.

We now give them a bath

twice a month and

haircuts as needed. Pray

for a breakthrough as we

continue to teach them

the Word of God, action

songs and memory

verses. Pray that we

can get enough donations

to provide them with

clean clothes and

underwear.

 

Special Blessing

We have received a special

blessing of $2500 for

another, larger vehicle.

Pray for us to find a good

vehicle for this price. The

one we selected is no longer

available. It would be good

to have another $1000-

2000 to have a better

selection. Pray about

having a fundraiser to help

us, if the Lord leads.
