Mikayla's News!

 Thank you all for praying for Mikayla as she visited the Philippines last month on a vision trip. She has been praying for a long time about the possibility of coming to the Philippines to serve full-time in a rescue home for girls rescued from trafficking and OSEC (online sexual exploitation of children). While she was here, she made the decision to move to the Philippines to serve in this critical ministry. She is currently raising support, and she hopes to leave mid-January for the Philippines! Please join us in praying for her as she prepares for this move. If you'd like to get her updates or partner with her in this, click on this link for more information.
Join us in praying for Mikayla and standing behind her as she goes!

Visiting Trustees

 Just before we flew back to the States, we hosted a group from the Board of Trustees from our organization. They were a great group, and we were blessed to be able to show them all that God is doing with tribals here in the Philippines. One couple was in their mid-70's, so we were unsure how it would go getting them in and out of the villages, but we chose where we went carefully, enlisted help for them, and they had great attitudes so it was a success!
We thought you might enjoy a couple pics from their visit - maybe you can come visit next! 

First Semester on New Campus

We are so excited to announce that the first semester of the Tribal Bible College on the new campus has begun. We have 11 students attending (additional 2 are part time), and that means we will have 29 students eligible for the next semester, which starts in January 2023. The way the Bible College works is the first semester is an introduction and covers the foundations of our faith; it is required before attending any of the following 6 semesters required to graduate. The 6 semesters can be completed in any order; but everyone must start with the introductory seminar. 18 students completed the first of these introductions, and now we have 11 taking it now.
They have also started planting the gardens. The long-term goal is for the campus to be self-sustaining.
Rejoice with us, and thanks to so many of you who have partnered with us and the tribals to make this possible!
