Luneta Park Study


Last Thursday I once again had the privilege of leading the study at Luneta Park. God has opened the door to reach out to our homeless brothers and sisters in the Lord. The study started in typical fashion,with a few people trickling in after we started the study. But when I had finished the study I realized that that trickle was more like a flood. We went from 6 to 16 people, in the period of fifteen minutes. Praise God for growing our group. We will continue to be faithful to Gods calling, whether in few or many.

We also had the blessing of treating all 16 of them to lunch at Jolly Bee, kind of like the Philippine version of McDonald's. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and refreshment. Few if any of them are able to sit at a table and eat dinner, especially in an air conditioned restaurant. As we sat there, it was nice to see so many smiles around the table. The same lunch that I take for granted myself, was truly a blessing to them.

A special thanks to our supporters who have allowed us to serve here in the Philippines. Also praise that one of our supporters has generously donated funds specifically for the feeding of this ministry.

Please Pray: that God would continue to bless this ministry as we attend not only to the Physical needs of our brothers and sisters, but their Spiritual needs. There are many feeding ministries for the poor in Manila, but very few give them what they really need. In Matthew Chapter 4 Jesus said: "It is written, ' MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"
