Camp!
The Good News...We finished our camp with a total of 629 young people. We saw 107 receive Christ as their Savior and 100 other decisions made. The Bad News...It cost more than we expected. We are still in need of $3,000 to help pay for camp. If you were not able to help us earlier with camp and would be able to now, we would appreciate it.
Gary’s 1 Year Checkup
This past week, we travelled back to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, for Gary’s 1 year checkup. This is something the doctor wants him to do each year for the next five years. Gary had the usual PET scans done. NO ACTIVE CANCER! Because of the stem cell transplant done a year ago, Gary now has to have his immunizations all over again. This time he received five shots. He also saw the neurologist who was responsible for diagnosing him in September of 2008. He ran through tests to determine Gary’s improvement with his hand and it was very evident that he has improved tremendously. You can go to www.phillips2pi.blogspot.com to read all about our visit.
New Ministry
We have started a new ministry with the street kids of Agham road. DSWD is a children’s welfare organization in the Philippines. They have a building nearby and many children are housed there that they have taken in for numerous reasons, whether because they were being neglected or abused. The director has given us permission to go twice a week and hold Bible studies with the children. This is just one more avenue we have to reach these children and to show our love, and teach them the love of Christ. If we can reach them before the age of 10, we have hope that we can help keep them away from a life of crime on the streets.
We appreciate your faithful prayers for our ministry. Thank you for partnering with us to reach the Philippines for Christ!
Gary & Jeanie Phillips
