"I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. ." Rev 11&12A NIV

In March we had another team of hard working young people from, Master’s Commission, Atlanta who really blessed the ministry and the children. One day we took them to the Mountains where they were able to do ministry at our mission church. On the way the team stopped and bought some handcraft items from the Tarahuamara Indians.
Some of the team with the Indian ladies
The children in the San Juanito mission loved the songs and dances. Several gave their hearts to the Lord.
The children love to have visitors. They also love Jesus
Back at the Children’s Home there was time to have fun and be silly.
Clothespins are such fun. How many can you wear?
Friends no matter what
Then a tearful goodbye as the team had to leave all their new friends in Mexico and return home. The children are praying that this team will come back and visit them again soon.
It is always a bag of mixed emotions when visitors leave. It effects visitors as well as our children.

Pastor James Guleng, one of our new church planters in Panobo City has just conducted water baptisms for several of the new believers who have come to Jesus under his ministry. It is so good to see these church plants growing.
LEBAK REPORT
by PASTOR LOPEZ
District Director of Lebak
I am so happy to report that all Churches here in Lebak, Kalamansig and Palimbang in spite of some problems and trouble that the rebels are creating, we just keep on moving. We are not discouraged, we are still moving in God’s Power. Regarding the ministry to the Indigenous People ( native tribe) the Pastors continue their ministry to them. Pastor’s wives continue also their non-formal teaching to the children. Praise God!
TAGUM REPORT
During the convention of Women, I (Pastor Encar) personally talked to Ro-an and also Brother Lando with Brother Ancheta the Church Elder ( It is in his house where they are having their Church Worship ) The good news is they are busy now looking for a bigger place and closer to the City because they are now growing in number. (This is another one of our new church plants. God is blessing this work where Pastor Janet sacrificed to pioneer this work.)
Thank you for your prayers and support.
