For the Lord He is good and His mercies endures forever….
Last year we started praying for the library project as Dr. Paul Kim made contacts for sponsors and partners. Praise the Lord, Rev. Edwin Hodges Ministries shipped a 40 ft. container van full of bibles, books and other related theological materials last year in November. As we got informed, Pstr Jun Nunez and the rest of us at AGSIS(Asia Graduate School of Intercultural Studies) begun taking care of the requirements to secure a tax exemption from the Dept of Finance in Manila. We initially needed some paper works and processing here in Davao for signatures and certification including the mayors permit which we didn’t anticipate to be a long and slow process. Gods perfect timing, the shipment was somehow delayed for a week arriving the 7th of January giving us enough time to finish before due date and without overdue storage fees at the port. So on the 15th of last month we hired a truck to deliver it from port Panabo to Davao city address of our school. As soon as it arrived around 8pm we started offloading the 1100 boxes manually into the building with only 9 mighty men with Gods strength and endurance till about midnight. God our provider once more answered prayers. Please continue to pray for us and with us to motivate and train more pastors, leaders, other ministries and missionaries for global missions. We thank Him for all of you who have made it all possible and also our sponsors, Guduck Church, Korea, Mrs. Naomi Oh and Dr. Lee.
For His glory!
Advance Training 2014
Mission Motivators-School of Missions started its operation for the Advance Training 2014 on September 8 with 13 students which include 1 Indonesian and 12 Filipinos from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Diverse as they are but they all came with one goal in their lives- that is to answer God’s call and be equipped for the furtherance of His Kingdom.
This year’s Advance Training, the administration prepared a variety of practicum that is very helpful for the students to prepare for their mission field someday. Church planting, discipleship, Muslim community service, and campus ministry incorporating English tutorial are the ministries they will be focusing with.
Other activities include daily morning devotion, prayer after classes in the morning,
challenge for missions through short film, chapel hour, students’ night, cultural night, fun night and many others which will help them to develop their spiritual gifts and ignite their passion for the lost. Classes will be taught by different resource speakers from different parts of the word and around the Philippines.
This batch, we are glad to have with us our team from Mongolia- Mdm Arlyn, Mdme. Louie and Sir Roggie who willingly extend their help as they are waiting for their visa to go back to Mongolia. We also have Mdm. Cherilyn, Sir Kim Lloyd and Mdm. Donna (Indonesia) as part of the training team.
Glory to God!
