In Need of Help Brothers and SIsters

As many of you know, I have a passion for the Gospel being spread to all peoples in all nations, and that  I have been on a few trips overseas to intentionally see that happen.  This winter I will be at it again.  I will be spending the winter in the Philippines in east Asia.  I am leaving December 14th and returning on January 6th (Yes, I am missing Santa). I will be doing a few things while on this trip.  The first part of the trip I will spend it in Luzon (The upper Island).  There I will be speaking a the R93 Conference.  This conference is for pastors and church members to encourage them and equip them to focus on the reason God has them where they are.  We will focus on Biblical truth on the role of the pastor and the mission of the church.  Why did God put the Church on Earth?  The answer is, to go and make disciples among all nations.  Who am I to speak at this conference?  I honestly have no clue!!  But I hope and pray that Christ use me to display His provocative truth in scripture to build up these filipino people.  

The second part of the trip I will be in a different part of the Philippines.  Due that this post is one social media I do not feel comfortable revealing the exact location, however i will tell you that this location is is 0.0% Christian, and 97.0% Muslim.  I and few filipino pastors are going into this area with the purpose of planting a Church and spending time to disciple the filipino people to follow Christ and not just leave them hanging with no follow up.  We are not looking for decisions and numbers to take home and show off, but we are praying that God allow us to make disciples that will get become apart of a faith family of believers and eventually make disciples themselves.  

How can you help?  Many of you know that I work for FCA and with that I have raise 100% of my salary.  Therefore, it is very hard for me to raise funds for a mission trip (aka my barrel is dry).  So to my family and friends I am asking for help.  If you can give 10 dollars or 1,000 dollars I will be equally grateful.  I am not a person to beg or plead, but I earnestly care about the Gospel being taken to the ends of the Earth and to do that isn't free.  Therefore, I again ask for your help.  If God puts on your heart to assist me in this mission my information is below.  And if you are in a position where you cannot give, then I encourage you to pray.  Pray that God softens hearts to embrace the Cross of Jesus Christ.  I will blog about a specific prayer list for the trip very soon.
