December 09 – January-10

The Lord has been gracious to me in all different situations, many times I failed to understand but then every days of my life brings hope and comfort as I remember to look to his word for his wonderful love and comforting presence. Blessings from the Lord our God be upon us as we serve him, “Let us come into his court with Joy and thanks giving.”
We had been involved in the Christmas program for the Chuukese Churches in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Minnesota. I am now based in Lewis Iowa assisting the Pastor of the Chuukese Christian Fellowship in Atlantic, Iowa which is 8 miles away from where I live. Since this is a small church which was established two years, we are still in the process of fostering them with biblical truths that they may be firm in their faith and that they will understand their mission as a body of Christ existing in this place. I serve as an assistant to the Pastor but I also involved in the overall leadership and administration of the Church. I am now recently talking courses online with the same school in Minnesota which recently launched a Certificate and Masters Program in Intercultural Leadership. I am hoping to finish this program in the year coming and move on to what the Lord has for me. The Lord has been open up door for me to help some of our young leaders from the Chuukese Church in Minnesota. I have been producing and translating some of helpful resources regarding spiritual growth and sermon preparation for them.

Prayer points:
• Pray for this Church as I leave, they will be faithful to the Lord.
• Pray for my Online Ed. That I will be able to finish everything God will continue to provide.
• Pray for the ministries in our Churches. ( Pacific Islands Ministries)
• God will show me ministry opportunities in Maui when I get there.
• For my trip to Hawaii along with the Pastor that I am working with, he will be meeting people for those Chuukese Churches there in Oahu and Maui.

Thank you so much for your prayers, I appreciate it.
