There he goes!
Dear All,
Friday’s Bottom Line:
Scott is now safely on his way to the Philippines (Dallas > Hong Kong > Philippines), and praise God, all is well!
Friday’s Details:
Scott will land in the Philippines at 12:40 AM Sunday local time, spend about an hour going through customs and immigration, and then have a good hour’s drive to Villasis (“vee-YAH-siss”), where he will stay in the home of some relatives of Wilson and Angelica, our Filipino national directors. Scott will likely finally get to bed around 3:00 AM, and I’m sure he’ll be ready to sleep. That’s all well and good, but he is then scheduled to preach in the Sunday morning church service! WOW! We know God will give him the strength he needs. = )
The next key event will be our special 30-minute Zoom Prayer Meeting at 5:00 PM Central Time (in the US and Canada) on our Sunday evening, March 3rd. Everyone is invited to log in and join us in praying for these three weeks of intense ministry work to purposefully expand the disciple-making movement in the Philippines. (Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the login information for that Zoom meeting; please come!)
That Zoom meeting will actually be occurring early Monday morning in the Philippines, and right after it, our team will begin their ten-hour drive to the location of their first all-day seminar, which will be held in Lasam on Tuesday. On this map, they will travel from Villasis (white oval below car) to Lasam (white oval top center).

The blue line on the map above shows all the driving they will be doing over the next three weeks. All told, it’s between 400 and 500 miles. That’s a lot of ground transportation.
Friday’s Prayer Requests:
- Scott and all his luggage to arrive intact; grace to get from the plane to the car to the bed as quickly as possible.
- A wonderful Sunday morning (Saturday night MO time) church service, and a powerful worldwide prayer meeting (over Zoom) at 5:00 PM Sunday MO time).
- Safe travels to Lasam for our team, and God to prepare the hearts of the people there to receive from him through our friends and Scott on Tuesday.
We are grateful for your prayers right now, and please stay tuned for our next update!
Blessings,
Patty
