Batch 18 is really a great challenge for the school of missions’ administration. It was during this batch that we experience how to expand our patience, ability, talents and skills. Before this batch started it was God’s message to us that we are going to have a lot of surprises and challenges. Lo and behold they came at the first week of the training. It was also during this batch that we did a lot of prayer and fasting. I even heard one student commented “the staffs are doing prayer and fasting many times but nothing happens there are still tensions” it was true we experience tensions until the end of the training. But I also received a message that the next batch (Batch 18) will benefit our prayers. God is really true to His words. He let us rest this batch; we didn’t experience tensions or any problems, though there are some but even our student affair staff can manage it.

This batch is really relaxing for us, everything is running smoothly that they didn’t even experience measuring their food for there is enough food or I would say they didn’t complain about food. The students and the school administration are really united.

With these reason, blessings overflows this year.

To summarize it:

• Teaching ESL to the Koreans was open. And MM Korea is going to send ESL students 3 times a year.
• More than 40 Korean Pastors lead by Engr. Ha came to have Pastors’ Conference here in Samal. They donated very cute LCD projector and Organ (brand new Yamaha brand)
• They bought also an additional lot 800sqm worth Php400, 000.00 and early this year we are going to build 3 stories building in this lot.
• Indonesia mission was opened we visited last Sept 2010
• Opportunity to send tent making missionary to Japan was also opened.
• This batch also bought brand new sound system and musical instrument.
• I was also able to connect and partnered with Indonesian Pastors who are living here in the Philippines.

The Lord has impress to me that ESL will not be pursued by January. With that I was thinking Indonesia trip of the staff might not possible. Therefore, recruitment of Indonesian students will also be affected. I was praying that God will still make a possible way to have and Indonesian Students. God set me an appointment with the Indonesian Pastors living in General Santos city and Glan, Sarangani Province. God is really amazing I found out during this trip that there are many Indonesians living in this places and have their own congregation some church are mixed. Another amazing thing that I found out many of them is still Indonesian Citizens but holding Alien Residence Visa which they are paying for only more than 100pesos a year. This means they can go easily to both countries, I challenge them to send students and they agreed to send and be partner with us.

Rev. Afiat Bastian is an Indonesian pastor working in RD group of company he is responsible to assign pastor to all fishing vessel and to other offices. RD group of company has also branches in Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia and in Papua New Genea. He is also holding Indonesian congregation. His base is in GenSan City.

Ptr Mamuka and his wife is purely Indonesian. They are church planter in part of Glan, Sarangani province. Even when they are still living in Bitung, North Sulawesi they are already planting churches. They wanted to go back to Indonesia but financially wise they cannot make it they came back here in the Philippines 10 years ago. I challenge him to enrol in the school he said he is willing but need to pray. He also promises to recruit Indonesian young people to study.

Dear Mission Motivators Leaders and Mission partners,

Greetings from Philippines!

For six months that we had been in Mongolia, visa issue had been a problem for us. We only had tourist visa since it was very hard to apply for religious visa and as we stayed and do our own researches, we found out that fellow missionaries in Mongolia are using working visa as a way to stay longer and do the works our Father had entrusted to each one. So for the months that we were there, we prayed, connected to fellow missionaries and looked for a school that we can teach and provide for our working visa. We also exited China twice for us to be able to extend our stay in Mongolia as a tourist. The good news was we were able to find a school who hired us as an English teacher and could provide a visa for us.

The bad news was last December 26, 2010, our Mongolian tourist visa expired and the government didn’t allow us to extend another month anymore and we found out that we can not also exit China anymore because Chinese Embassy didn’t release us another Chinese tourist visa since we’ve been there twice within a short period of time. So the best remedy was to come back to Philippines. During Christmas eve until December 27, it was very exhausting moment for us as we prayed and prepared for our coming back home. Thank God for our leaders, Dr. Kim, Rev. Tito and Rev. Jun who helped us much with our air ticket though it was a holiday season and rush. We believed also it’s because of HIS Divine Intervention.

Now, we are in my home town, Ilocos Sur. And as we are waiting for the school to work out our working visa, the Lord is also using us in touching lives and ministering to churches igniting them for missions. A million thanks to our leaders who never fail to do their duty and to our mission partners who always back us up through their knees. Please help us pray for the following:

1. Release of our working visa in HIS time
2. Finances to go back to Mongolia
a. transit visa to China where we will pick our Mongolian working visa
b. airfare
3. Our health (we just recovered from fever and colds)
4. Our families here in the Philippines

In Him,

Two years ago our President, Dr. Paul Kim was telling us that we are going to open a base and send missionaries to Indonesia. From that time on we prayed every day concerning the possibilities of the plan. At some point a woman, Ebbo Detty from Manado, North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia visited our Prayer Tower in M’lang, North Cotabato. Our Prayer Tower Director, Sir Jovan Juromay, suggested if she could visit our School of Missions in Samal City. During her two days visit she came to know and understand that we are training missionaries and send those who are ready and willing to different countries. She asked if they could send students also to study in our school and talk for the possibilities for us to minister to churches in Indonesia to challenge them to get involved in world mission. It all started through the desire of our President and the Lord our God who is the Lord of Mission arranged everything people may not know that it’s God who is directing our ways. Praise God for those who are always willing to obey God without question like Ebbo Detty from Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, through her God open the door for mission in Indonesia conducted Global Mission Seminar in Apollos Mission Theological School headed by Rev. Rudy Lumenta.
The school decided to send 100 missionaries to different countries to do cross-cultural missions. Bitung is part of North Sulawesi it is 1hour and 30minutes away from Manado its capital city. This church belongs to Four Square Gospel Church. They will send students next batch. Next church we visited was Maranatha church in Manado church belongs to Bethany Church Organization some youth leaders responded to the call as missionary and will be coming to study next batch. Though this church is still young but is willing to support for mission and will send missionaries to different part of the world. They will also send students in the school next batch. Though the time is very short we had visited 2 more church and had pastor’s seminar that takes only less than 2 hours. Still more than 30 pastors gathered and were challenge and responded to be part of global mission.
All the Glory to our God, Missio Dei.

than the woman who lives with her husband,”
