More on the Students Preaching!



Nap Nap & Russel

The two students from Big Roger's church in General Santos, Nap Nap and Russel, were permitted to go home to witness to their lost family members. Nap Nap preached at Pastor Roger's church and 4 adults were saved and Russel preached at the mission church in the mountains. Big Roger said in his text to Charlie that these boys were on fire for God.


Student Jamin, Pastor Sammy's son, preached at Pastor Al's Church on Sunday morning.





Student Jem Boy preached at First Brashear in the absence of Pastor Mejares as his son AJ was taken to hospital. Jem Boy also preached Sunday night at Pastor John Kinsey's church. They are getting alot of practice and doing a great job.

Students Sharing the Gospel to Family!




Levi & Flor

Student Flor's grandpa got sick on the island of Siargao in Barangay Pillar and it was serious enough that he was allowed to go for a visit. As he visited he led him to the Lord plus 27 other family members and neighbors. It seems a church is being birthed in Pillar which is Dr. Lina's home. He went back with student Levi who is also from Pillar this weekend and they held Bible Studies in homes on Friday & Saturday night and had church service on Sunday with 17 adults and 17 children in attendance. Please pray that the Lord would provide a pastor for this church.

Charlie's return to the Philippines


Saturday Night February 12, 2011:
Charlie made it safely to Sabang with a warm welcome. A new podium was waiting with the Fruitful Harvest logo. Someone has been very busy and is very talented. The men's Bible Study Group took up offerings while he was in the states to surprise him. A very touching gift.




The Brashear Baptist Church in Day-Asan now has a concrete floor, a porch and a drain has also been put in all around the outside of the building to prevent water from coming in. Thank you Fruitful Harvest Seminary Students for your hard work.

ANOTHER CHURCH BIRTHED
The students go out witnessing on Wednesday and Saturday. As they traveled a few miles away to another village 80 accepted Jesus as their Savior. These new converts are coming to the church in Sabang but they want one in their village. Charlie visited and meet with one of the new converts that will donate land for the building. Praise the Lord! It is in a farming area that is thriving with vegetables. Charlie inquired about purchasing vegetables for the students meals and found out they needed fertilizer but couldn't afford it. A deal was agreed upon for FH to provide the fertilizer for free vegetables. In addition they will teach our students how to grow crops. At this time the land owners son owns a jeepney and will provide transportation each Sunday to bring everyone to church in Sabang until they have their own.






Monday, February 7, 2011

Today February 7, 2011. Great and mighty God things are going on. The holiday season keeps us very busy and therefore I have not been doing a very good job at blogging. To keep this short I will not try to fill you in at this time. Charlie returned home from the Philippines on December 1, 2010. It has been a blessed time at home. Christmas with family was enjoyable but bitter sweet as it was the first without Charlie's mom.Many thanks for the invitations to all the churches that allowed him to give updates. A sad note as on Christmas Day night our good friend and partner in ministry Landis Downing of King City, MO went on to be with the Lord. We made the trip there and Charlie held the service and between 15-20 made provisions of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. To God be the Glory. More to share about what the Lord is doing concerning the future for the Memorial "Landis' Lighthouse Orphanage" in the Philippines.
Today Charlie will catch a 6:00P.M. flight back to the Philippines. He will be there until May 7th. I will be here overseeing the daily operation of the ministry and taking a small team to Davao, Philippines on April 3rd-15th. As usual there will be a team going to Surigao City, Philippines leaving June 6th-18th. This team at this time is made up of 30 members and 18 of them are first timers. Only God knows what is in store. We covet your prayers.
