Dear Praying Friends and Faithful Partners,
"He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32
The Lord brought this verse to remembrance when a Pastor asked: "What was God's verse for you when you first came to know Him?" He challenged us to always remember this personal verse as it would continue to encourage us in our walk with Him. As I daily face challenges and changes - this verse gives me the confidence to always trust in the Lord. No matter what I may go through, I would always have this assurance that my God will take care of me, and will always desire to give me His best. Through Jesus Christ, He has graciously given me all things: eternal life, a home in glory and an abundant life here on earth. What a caring and loving God and Father I have! What more do I need? Thank You Lord for your everlasting love. Thank You that You will always remain faithful and true to your promises!
GUAM
We are thankful for Brandon and Mina Yurow as they faithfully serve the
Lord as part of PMF's worship team. They are both gifted in playing musical instruments (guitar and piano)
and liven up our worship singing. They are indeed answers to prayer. Pray for Brandon as he assists his
father in his work. Mina works part time and is pursuing her college education at University of Guam.
Pray for them and their family as they desire to grow in their faith and walk faithfully in Him.
PHILIPPINES
After nine years of serving faithfully in the Philippines, Malcolm and Mary Cleope will
be returning to Iowa. Although their term ends in September, they left the Philippines in July so that
they may be able to settle down, adjust and take care of many things. We are thankful for the faithful
support of Partners through the years, enabling the Cleopes to serve in the islands and accomplish many things,
the most important of which were to bring hope and change lives of men, women, youth and children for eternity.
BAHAY KALINGA ORPHANAGE, MINDORO, PHILIPPINES
"I still cannot get used to listening to the cries of the children
when they first come to us for temporary shelter. They miss their parents and wish they were back with them.
Even if I explained to them the reason why they are with us and that they will eventually be reunited with
their parents - they still cannot comprehend. How can a 3 or 4 year old child understand why they have to be separated
from their parents (mostly single moms) even though they can have a better life, or they can be with someone who
can care for them and where they are always assured their basic necessities and more would be provided?
I pray all the time that somehow these children will grow to know the Lord, that the Lord would heal their broken
hearts and spirit and that the love we share with them will help mold their characters in a positive
way." Jesse Tubigon, Social Worker.
PALAU
"Timothy, one of our youth, has been actively coming to church since JAM 3 (Jesus and Me Concert-Outreach).
We praise God for his change of heart. He does not miss going to the Men's Bible Study every Thursday. This gives him
accountability, encouragement and edification. He has become a helpful person, friendly and thoughtful.
Please pray that he will remain faithful and obedient to God. Pray for God to heal his past hurts and enable him
to focus in his new life and new found faith, as well as press on to what God has planned for him to do." Rea Joy Lumawan, Missionary
YAP, MICRONESIA
"We have many reasons to say ‘thank You Lord!'. Petrus, one of our PMF church leaders was hospitalized
in June for kidney stones. After a week at the Yap Hospital, he was referred to go to the Philippines to have two kidney
stones removed by surgery. However, before he was scheduled for surgery, the tests showed that these stones were dissolved!
God indeed is a great physician! Then, during one of our church clean-ups, four year old Katherine was accidentally and
badly hit by a car. However, when she was brought to the Hospital, they found that she miraculously survived the accident
with minor scratches and no permanent damages. Praise the Lord!" Simon Hämmerling, Missionary
POHNPEI, MICRONESIA
It seems like only yesterday when Christine Walser and Tamara Haller came through Guam on their
way to Pohnpei where they would be serving till June 2010. It has been 10 months and now they head back home to Switzerland.
Both Christine and Tamara had a wonderful time in Micronesia. They shared that it was a learning, growing and enjoyable
experience for them. In Guam, they were involved in Kids Klub and Sunday school. In Pohnpei they were involved and also
responsible for teaching children and young girls at Bible All Stars, Sunday school and Discipleship classes.
Learning to live in an island, a different culture and language was challenging for them, but they experienced God's ever
present help in their lives. They leave us with great memories of them. Their faithfulness, dedication and hard work have
blessed all of us! Pray for them as they travel to Switzerland thru the U.S. - for God's protection and care.
Pray for their safe arrival back to Switzerland and for God's leading for the next chapter in their lives.
God indeed has graciously given us all things! He has provided people to serve with us, use us to provide a good home for disadvantaged children, transform people's lives, and miraculously heal and save. What a wonderful God we serve! We are so thankful that He also provided YOU, our dear partners as you pray with and for us, and continue to faithfully provide financially so that the work of the Lord in the islands would continue.
God bless you richly and remember, He is able to do far more abundantly in your life than you could ask or think (Ephesians 3: 20)!
In Him we live and move and have our being,
Melinda R. Espinosa
