Dear friends,
It is quickly heading towards one year since Janet had her aneurysm. According to all statistics and the words of her doctors she should not be alive.
It was a night I never want to live again, yet through it all we both have discovered deeper understandings of God’s faithfulness, love, grace and mercy. We have seen and experienced the truth of the power of prayer. We have been touched it our hearts and minds of the unfailing love our Heavenly Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ and the comfort of the ever present Holy Spirit.
Thank you all, and each one for your steadfast prayers and intercession, for your undaunted pursuit of God’s healing power for Janet. We are indebted to your faithful support. Thank you again.
Headed to the Philippines
Soon I head once again to the Philippines. The ministry continues to grow as our workers faithfully pursue God’s will and His power to accomplish all He desires. I am counting on your prayers during this very important time with our Church Planting leaders and our feeding program personnel.Let me give you a quick snap shot of what has been happening.
Church Planting
The Holy Spirit has been moving so powerfully that it is difficult to share all that is going on. The increase of 30 more churches has occurred since our last news letter. We now have 179 church plants that are alive and dispensing the Gospel in some of the most remote places on Mindanao Island. We receive regular reports of the increase of the healings and salvations and baptisms. Reports are coming in of how the Muslim communities are opening to the message of the Father heart of God. Many Muslim farmers are tired of the years of fighting and promoting fear that only causes pain to their own families. Pray with us for these Muslim families that the eyes of their understanding would be opened, and that they come into the glorious hope that we as born again believers possess.
I will be visiting some of these areas on this trip to encourage our workers and partners in faith to not give up and to continue in their calling. We will also spend time equipping them in leadership training and giving them resources to help them develop their churches.
Feeding program, "Food for Life"
“When you have done it to the least of these, you have done it unto me.” It is these words spoken by the Lord Jesus that has been our theme for 15 years of feeding malnourished children. Beginning with 50 children and now growing to a number of 5000 (approximate) meals per month is outstanding. Thank you for your support of these children. We truly believe you will receive a reward by God for your giving.
I have a desire, like you, to reach the innocent. The programs we run are great yet we need to do more. Some of our areas only receive one meal per week from us. They need more! We are asking GOD FOR MORE SUPPLY SO WE CAN HELP REMOVE THE TERRIBLE EFFECTS OF MALNUTRITION.
Our children are blessed because of you our supporters. When you give to Food for Life, all we receive goes directly to the children. We have no paid employees or expense items that we need to take a portion of your generous giving. 100% goes to children.
For online giving: onelifemin.com, click "Donate" and follow the instructions through Tithe.ly. There will be a 3% charge from the credit card company that processes the transaction. This cost we can not eliminate.
You can also send a check by mail and it will go into the account for distribution. Please send to:

Radio Broadcast
One Life radio FM is broadcasting 24/7 Christian music and teaching. Our 3000 watt transmitter has been installed and is working hard. The radio station is one of strongest means to reach the lost. In the city taxi cab drivers are tuned to our broadcasts. Thousands of young college students are tuning in and are encouraged in their life by the positive message of hope that is broadcasted every day. Thank you for your support of this vital ministry.
We are excited about our newest venture of beginning a totally tribal radio station. We are already gathering tribal pastors we are in fellowship with and inviting them to teach on the air. We will also play tribal worship music in several dialects for their spiritual growth and enjoyment. This is a first on the island as thousands of tribals people will have the opportunity to here the gospel in their own language and teaching to help them grow in the knowledge of God. Many who will have access to this have no church in their village and the radio is their connection to Christian community around them. Our radio station is in need of updating our antenna. If you would like to help with this just earmark that with a note or message as you give. Thank you for your help.
India - Church Plant and Home for Abandoned Youth.
Our church plant in India has grown as Pastor Vimal and Hannah his wife faithfully serve their community. It has been a very hard year for them thus far. They were asked to leave their home they rented from their Hindu landlord and had no place to live with their 2 boys. They moved into the abandoned children home they had started.
There are fifteen girls living their who are being cared for by Vimal’s mother who was also sickly Vimal and the family lived or slept in the hallway of the home as that was the space which was open. Persecution and sickness has attacked them for these many months. Hannah almost died from complications and Vimal has suffered very high blood pressure from the stress. After much prayer the Lord showed me a home in my prayers. It was a large home big enough for their family and the children. I encouraged them to look for this place and God showed them. They now all live together in one home which financially has helped as it is only one rent. Praise God for his provision. I am believing for a permanent home and land owned by the ministry. Renting leaves you at the mercy of your Landlords which are all Hindu in their village. All land is owned by the Hindus and the Christians are held down from ownership. We need a miracle from our Lord. Please pray with us for this miracle. If you desire to help this couple and their abandoned children’s home please earmark your giving with the word, India. Thank you.
