Two Ways to Fly
Dear All,
Thursday’s Bottom Line:
Scott is on his way to Nepal, our team in the Philippines is planning for their next DM seminar in Tarlac, we have an update from our team member, Pastor Gil, and we’ve included some fun flying pictures. = )
Thursday’s Prayer Requests:
1. Scott to safely connect with Mohan in Nepal; details to be finalized and attendees confirmed for Friday’s DM seminar there.
2. Our team in the Philippines to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit as they interact with the pastors and leaders at Friday’s DM seminar in Tarlac; the right people to join DM groups and the right coaches to lead those groups.
3. God to enable Pastor Gil’s (“Hill’s) throat surgery on November 12 to go well and accomplish every goal; his recovery to be speedy and complete, and everything necessary to be provided (money, lodging, post-surgical therapies and meds, etc.).
Thursday’s Details:
The Philippines is 14 hours ahead of U,S. Central time, but Nepal is a curious 11 hours, 45 minutes ahead of us, and this always makes the math interesting. That said, I’m pretty sure that Scott should be landing in Nepal soon. As always he will hit the ground running, and we appreciate your prayers for him and our Nepali leader, Mohan, as they prepare to lead a DM seminar in a few hours.
Back in the Philippines, our team will also be holding a Friday DM seminar, this one in Tarlac, a new area about an hour from our base in Villasis. We believe God wants the Philippines Disciple-Makers Movement (PDMM) to expand there, so we plan to establish a DM outpost with a group of pastors there, and we are trusting the Lord to direct our steps (Proverbs 16:9).
We have previously mentioned Pastor Gil (“Hill”) and asked you to pray for his upcoming throat surgery. He is a key member of our Filipino leadership team and has been instrumental in introducing the PDMM to eager pastors in far-flung places. After numerous delays for various tests, Pastor Gil will be having a major operation on his thyroid next week, and he sent Scott this update:
“All laboratory test results are good and evaluated. The surgeon gave clearance. My schedule for surgery is on Wednesday Nov 12, morning – it is also the birthday of my wife Emy . I will be admitted on Tuesday at HEALTHWAY FEU MEDICAL CENTER- Regalado Ave, Novaliches, QC. Please kindly pray for successful thyroid operation, wisdom of doctors, peace and comfort from the Lord, quick recovery and healing, and financial provision. Operation cost is P300,000.00 [$5,086.00 USD] . We are trusting God.”
We are trusting God too!
While typing this I got news that Scott has landed in the Nepal, so that was one kind of flying.
These three wild guys also did some other flying on the Pugo Adventure Park’s zipline the other day.
Of course, only Jesus truly is perfect. He has given us authority to pray in his name, and 1 John 5:14-15 promises us confidence as we bring our requests to God. Thank you for taking time today to pray for our high flyers and the specific requests above. We really appreciate you!
Blessings,
Patty
