WE have arrived in the States. I wanted to write sooner, but waited until I was over the nasty jet lag. It is one of the worst parts of the flight between the two countries.

The week before we left the country, our ministry conducted the two traditional events that are scheduled every year. The first is the family camp. Unfortunately, the new camp site, BBS Legacy Bible Camp is not yet finished. However, it is far enough along that we were able to see more than 700 campers attend. It was a great time together.

The second event was held during the family camp. That is the graduation of the Bible Baptist Seminary. Because of the pandemic, our student body was very small. It was only 89 this year.

There is also some rather sad news at this time. Gloria had a major infection last year that has affected her balance and endurance, in a very great way. We are making adjustments in our ministry to accommodate her situation. Retirment is not part of the considerations. However, it will surely cause some changes that we have not been able to determine yet. It will not affect our ministry and the continuation of BBS and church planting. The seven campuses are thriving and we are excited to see what God will do in our ministry this coming year.

I would ask for continued prayer for Gloria, me and our ministry, We are surely excited to be teaching face to face, but for now, I will be teaching by Zoom in all the campuses. I am making plans to be back in the Philippines in time for family camp next year.

I will say that if any church would like us to report or give an update of our ministry, please contact me at 417-590-2699 or contact me by email.

God bless until next post.
