Home and Heading Home

by Patty Roberts | Nov 16, 2025 | India 2025, Pray

Dear All,

Sunday's Bottom Line:

Mark, Whitney, Liam, and Korbin Phillips arrived home Thursday night, and they are getting back into the swing of things in SW Missouri after their month of ministry in the Philippines. Scott is headed home from India and will arrive in Springfield Monday evening.

Sunday's Prayer Requests:

1. The DM coaches in the Philippines, Nepal, and India, many of whom were ministered to over the past four weeks, to be energized and faithful in leading their groups; for the Holy Spirit to lead them in dealing with any issues that arise with or among their disciples.

2. The Philips family and Scott to be healthy and strong and experience God's grace as their physical bodies process jet lag from their trip.

3. God to heal Pastor Gil; as far as we know, his thyroid/throat surgery has not yet been re-scheduled.

Sunday's Details:

Scott wrapped up his whirlwind weekend of ministry in south India, but I don't have any details beyond that, probably because after church Sunday he was busy visiting with friends there, packing, and possibly sleeping a bit before heading to the airport at 1:00 AM. I do know his 10-hour flight to Amsterdam is in the air. He'll have another 10-hour flight to Atlanta and a 2-hour flight home. With layovers, he'll be in transit for about 27 hours.

I asked Scott if he had any update on Pastor Gil, and he sent this: "From Pastor Gil: 'Thanks for your prayers. I’m still awaiting my biopsy result due next week.'"

So that's all I know, but tomorrow night I get to greet My Hero! But please remember that TTC's ministry continues whether Americans are away on mission trips or not. Thank you for continuing to pray for TTC and for our team members, both in the U.S. and around the world.

Blessings,

Patty
