News from the Philippines

God continues to bless with growth & numbers!

I had the great honor of sitting in on an executive pastor's meeting with all the new church planting pastors in the Philippines this month. It was quite encouraging to see the excitement of these highly professional, trained, passionate men. They shared how God had continued to bless their church with souls being saved and new members. In this last meeting without fail every single church planter who held services this week (some are still in the small group incubation period, not holding regular weekend services yet) had people come to know Christ in their local newly planted church. As we went around the table each pastor had blessing after blessing to share. You know it is a good meeting when a new church plant pastor explains that his goal is to have at least 600 attend his grand opening Sunday, and we all knew he was being conservative on that goal! God continues to bless with growth and numbers and leadership development within each church plant.
