Mission Now a Church!!

During the month of March my son Justin and his family (wife, Angie and three precious little girls, Laken, Lauren and Laci) came to visit me. Justin is an ordained preacher and on deputation now to come to the Philippines as a missionary. During the time he was here, my sending church gave him the authority to organize Heritage Bible Baptist Mission (one of the missions Duane planted) to church status. This was an exciting time for me but a much more exciting time for the members of the mission. They were overjoyed that Justin, Pastor Duane's son would be the one to stand in his dad's place for the organization. Being able to share this glorious time with members of my home and sending church was wonderful but for it to be my son was joy unspeakable. And visiting with the grandchildren was great!!! I love being a "Granna".
Keep us in your prayers and Heritage Bible Baptist Church. The ministry is moving forward for the cause of Christ and the endeavor to expand His Kingdom.
Always in His Service,

Hospital Ministry

I know it has been a while since my last post. I have been going through adjustments being on the field without Duane. It has been almost a year now, it sure does not feel like it.
This post is about the Hospital Ministry of the North Luzon Women and Children Hospital. This has been a life changing experience for me. I have been in many hospitals here in the Philippines and ministered to the women and children, but this one is different. I have been able to get up close and personal with the patients, nurses and doctors. Witnessing the birth of a child is seeing the hand of God and His miracles.
Each week we go into the hospital and pray with the patients and distribute tracts and John/Romans booklets. A Bible study is beginning with the nurses each week. We were able to put Bibles on each table by each bed and now the Pharmacy places tracts in each prescription bag. We give out Newborn Packs of cloth diapers, pins, blanket, etc. and always a tract and John/Romans booklet included. (part of the diapers have been donated by a young lady in the states, Hannah Senn) So many churches and individuals have blessed this ministry through their shipments of Bibles and supplies to me.
I will be posting more often now, thanks for being patient with me.
By God's most wonderful grace I am
Always in His Service
