Dear Brother Daniel,
Our recent trip to Uganda ended on February 16th with a baptismal service that saw 20 souls come to know our Lord and Savior. One woman was washing clothes on the bank of the river where we were baptizing; she came under conviction and was baptized. In all we visited 7 churches and ministered 15 services, “the Lord working with them confirming His Word with signs following”. We received many testimonies of healings following the services.

Having just returned from our recent missionary trip to Lima Peru I want to thank all the people who prayed for the success of the meetings and for our trip. We had a wonderful time in the services and the fellowship with the brothers and sisters. There were many people who had come from the mountains and jungle to meet with us for the first time. We shared with them the Word of God and missionary vision for the work in Peru. As always the people wanted us to come to their churches, which was not possible at this time. We told them that we are working with some of the brothers in Peru for the missionary work, and perhaps they would be able to come to their churches. The work for this country is considerable; workers seem to be few. We would appreciate your continued prayers for the work in Peru.

Dear Bro. Daniel,
God Bless you and the saints at home. We have just finished the second church here in the Philippines. This is the first one we have built on the island of Bohol. The pastor’s name here is Felix Bantilan. The main problem here in Bohol has been a transportation issue. No one in the churches owns a vehicle, let alone one big enough to transport 11 men and gear. Bro. Felix found an oversized jeepney and the man lived just down the street between the church project and the lodging we are staying at.
The first night we stayed in Tagbilaran the hotel was on top of a hardware store. The next morning we gave them a material list and they said they could supply it all. What we didn’t expect was them to have four flat tires trying to deliver all the supplies. The church site was on top of a hill and we had to drop the center of the church site to try to level the ground outward to the four corners. This was probably the rockiest ground we had to dig in and the lumber was probably the heaviest per piece. It took eight guys to lift a truss. They also needed a new shower / toilet room with a septic tank. All of the concrete we had to mix here on this site was on the ground in small volcanoes, as there were no mixers available. Bro. Felix also had a 16 year old motorcycle that wasn’t worth putting another peso in. As you instructed, we were able to find a brand new motorcycle for low down and low monthly payments. The look on his face was priceless and his wife and family were overwhelmed. As we got ready to leave Bro. Felix came to me and said, “Bro. John, I have a new church, a new bathroom, a new pulpit and a new motorcycle. God is so good. Please thank everyone for their offerings and prayers.”
