PRAY WITH US
SAFETY IN TRAVELS
We are traveling all over all the time. Whether when Brett and Ingrid are leading church planting training throughout the Philippines, or the whole team as they go between the different churches and outreaches, or their weekly trips to the city for shopping. Pray that God is with us wherever we go .
REACHING THE LOST
Our whole ministry is reaching the lost souls in need of Christ. Pray with us for the right words, that we see the opportunities God gives us and that their hearts will be open to God's call.
CLEAN AND PURE HEARTS
Pray that our hearts will always be focused on the mission God has given us. That our hearts are in the right place and that we can be called men and women after God's own heart.
CHURCHES
We have 3 churches that we are serving God and each one needs prayer!
​
Ambangeg Christian Church: God's leadership and direction. Not to grow complacent in the work God has given them. Encouragement as every year we lose members who move out of the village. Spiritual growth of long term members.
Banao Christian Church: Strength to endure the persecution and attacks from the enemy. Favor in the community to reach through the pagan culture. Wisdom to break through the culture sensitively. Encouragement for the members who suffer the most at the hands of their family and "friends" for joining us.
Kiweng Christian Christ: Spiritual growth of the members, wisdom for the leaders, and that the people will see the truth of who Jesus is. Dedication and perseverance for the team as we lead the church while living in different villages.
THE TEAM
Pray for each member of our church planting team.
​
Brett and Ingrid: That God would use them to lead the team for God's glory and not their own. For their marriage and family to be centered on Jesus. Financial support for them and their ministry and the wisdom to use it according to God's plans.
Jason and Raquel: That God would speak through them and that they'll lead their church according to God's will. A Christ focused marriage, wisdom to lead their family by His plans. Financial support for their ministry and family, with the wisdom to use it properly.
Edgar and Maricar: To be a man after God's own heart. Leadership to lead the flock entrusted to him. Wisdom to hear and act on the things and plans God revels to him. The strength and faithfulness to be a husband and father God wants him to be and to lead his family in the ways of the Lord.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Here are some of the bigger things are are wanting to help our ministry. Take a look and pray about them to see if God wants you to be a part of it!
Translating Bible Comics
We have started translating the Kingstone Bible comics into two languages, Ibaloi (the tribal language) and Tagalog (the National language). We are starting with the 12 Christ volumes, and will release volume 1 in March of 2023.
We already were able to buy the rights to all 12 volumes. So now its just printing and shipping. At this time we are looking at needed $1,500 per shipment of 700 copies per volume.
These comics will be distributed to the schools and will be used as part of the schools regular curriculum! You read that right, the schools will use the Bible comics to help teach the children to read in these two languages.
Search and Rescue
Now that Zuma has finished his Search and rescue training, the team need to go through many equipment upgrades. Moving from Disaster relief to SAR (Search and Rescue) is a very big and expensive endeavor. Because in a SAR operation, lives are literally on the line, both the victims as well are the rescuers (as the area may still be unstable), having the right gear and quality gear will mean the difference of life and death for some. On a lesser note, in a SAR situation being able to be easily identified as a legitimint SAR team is important. So that mean proper professional matching uniforms.
So here is a basic breakdown of what is needed and the approximant cost per piece:
2 Base camp radios (1 for the truck and one basecamp) $400-$700
5 Hand held Radios $200-$400
4 rescue back packs $75-$200
4 Rescue helmets $50-$150
4 Pairs of Boots $75-$200
4 Sets of pants and shirt $100-$250
1 Dog goggles $50-$100
1 25 foot leather dog leash $50-$100
2 Sets of Repelling gear $150-$300
4 Water bladders $40-$75
5 Sets basic medical supplies $75-$150
1 Basket stretcher $150-$300
1 Winch for the Truck $250-$500
These are the important things that have to be gotten.
So we are looking at $4,000 -$7,000 worth of equipment we will be needing before we will be able to be fully effective. I'll be sure to update this list as we get what's needed.
If you are interesting in helping in this area please let me know.
