At
the age of 13, I had surrendered to serve God full time and was
considering missionary aviation. A Filipino National pastor was
visiting our home and when he found out about my interest he looked
at me with true serious-ness in his face and said, "When are
you coming?" God used that question to plant the thought of
the Philippine Islands in my heart, and I never got over it. My
wife and I are planning to go to the Philippines and let God use
us to reach people who have been taught all their life they need
to work their way to heaven. We would like to ask you the question
that was posed to me at age 13: WHEN ARE YOU COMING?
The
Philippines is an Island nation comprised of 7,100 islands. Not
all of the islands are populated but there are over 78.4 million
people living on the inhabited ones. National reports say that 80-85%
of the Filipinos claim Roman Catholicism as their religion. Some
would consider this a Christian nation, but we know that those who
are trusting in works for salvation are not saved but believe they
are. Many Filipinos are very religious, praying to the saints and
to Mary. Yet we know the Bible says in I Timothy 2:5 "For [there
is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus." Please join us as we prepare to share the liberty of
salvation by grace through faith alone. 
Dagupan
is a city of 27.1 square miles with a population of over 130,000
souls. This equates to 4,797 souls per square mile. To the best
of our research we cannot find any solid gospel witness inside the
city. Through survey trips and prayer, BMW has decided to begin
their outreach to the Philippines in this city. Dagupan is a port
city located on the Lingayen Gulf. The city has all types of people
in it, from college students to construction workers, to doctors.
The one common issue with all these people is that they have a soul
which will spend eternity somewhere. We want to go share with them
how they can know for sure their soul will spend eternity in Heaven.
Currently
we are on deputation raising support to go but we need more team
members. We are dedicated to working as a team yet there is currently
nobody to work with us. Please consider whether God would have you
join our team. The weather is tropical and while the people are
warm and friendly, their religion is stone cold and lifeless. If
you have received the free gift of eternal life, please consider
coming with us to the Philippines and sharing that gift with others.
