FAIR SUNSHINE

Mother and daughter day out.

Our daughter in the faith, took the gospel with her on an errand in Cavite when she went with her dad to visit his mother. According to her this part of the city was bleak and dead. May the LORD raise up laborers in this place.

We were graced with a visit from our dear sisters from our old congregation who not only brought me a cake commemorating Father's day, but they also took part in our meal gathering after services. It was a joyful afternoon gathering.

This situation now demands more than half my current time for study and teaching, and I am forced also to give up regular sleep hours which I badly need.

There will be adjustments in the family, in the study classes, and in my daily regimen. But I continue to wait on the LORD for what could possibly be a door for the kingdom. At this point it is still too early to assume, even though the signs are there. These are some of the highlights from this past month: I had the privilege to give a Lord's day message to the Taiwan church. The children are extremely tenderhearted, like little lambs, and were raised well in loving affection. This agape love overflowed to the local gathering here.
