MM

Dear Patners in missions,
Greetings from Mongolia! Thank you for your prayers and supports.  We are doing fine by His grace and mercy. We seldom send email because we are located 3 hours away from the city and there’s no internet connection. However, the school we are staying lend us a computer in which we can encode our emails and do newsletter so that when we go to the internet, we just send. We are staying in a government school built by the Ministry of Education Mongolia and World Vision. Rev. Chung, Director of MM Korea made an arrangement before we arrived. They let us stay in one room which is really a bedroom free of charge including the electricity. They lend us this computer and a piano. The kitchen is just beside our room.  But the problem is that the restroom is few meters away from the gate of the school. It looks like the restroom  in the Mr Bones because they don’t have water to flush. It was really a struggle for us at first. We can’t take a bath and wash our clothes. Rev. Chung mad an arrangement that we need to goto Ulaanbaatar once in every two weeks just to take a bath and wash our clothes. In fact, I cried at first, I thought I couldn’t make it. Lately, we found out that there is a river in Jargalant town proper but it’s not really clean. We are going there sometimes to take a bath and wash our clothes. Somebody is supplying the water (2 gallons for one week) but that is only for washing the dishes. We are buying mineral water for drinking in Ulaanbaatar but it is expensive. The water system is located in Jargalant town proper which is maybe 3 or more kilometers away and they don’t know how to make a way for a water system to be established and it’s one of our prayers that we could do something Anyways.  From Monday to Friday, 9:00-11:00 and 2:00-4:00, we are teaching English here in the school. It’s summer vacation this time so the students don’t have regular classes so this English class is their summer class. This is for 45 days only then we will transfer to a bigger school in Jargalant town proper for another 45 days. On the afternoon of Monday to Friday and Saturday, we are having our language study with the family of Ankhee. The wife of Ankhee can speak a little English but his nephew, Orlgil can speak English and he is serving as our interpreter. We can now speak little Mongolian sentences.
Praise God the wife of Ankhee (Tuya) has knowledge in processing visa.  We were given 1 month to stay then she is now processing for 1 year and another 1 year. During Sundays, we are doing Sunday worship already in the church gear. We started with the family of Ankhee and another family. This time we are praying for the family of one of the school guard, Kamba.
Please help us pray. He is already close to us and he had witnessed the way we pray when we invited him for dinner during the last dinner arrangement. The vegetables available in the market that we saw is only potato, carrots, cabbage, and cucumber. It’s also very hard to find garlic and ginger. If there are, it’s expensive. This time we couldn’t plant anything in the church lot because no water. Mongolian eats bread mostly than rice. Big adjustment for us. There is available rice also in their small store near the school we are staying. Praise God, we didn’t get thin yet. He is also sustaining us with strength and joy to face the adjustments. We are using the pocket money that we gave from Philippines and that’s where we got our payment for our visa also. We only have 50US dollars left.  Please help us pray for His provision.
Mongolia is very big area without people; all you could see around especially here in the province are plains, hills, mountains, grass, goats, sheep and horses. Trees are on the far mountains only, mostly pine trees. Car is a necessity because the area is so wide and their pasture land is very far from their house or gear. We are declaring
our own car.

In Prayers,

On Sunday as the sun rises in Ghana, thousands of thousands of people make their way to church with joyful heart. They worship, sing, dance and hear sermons. It usually takes four hours. No one complains and enjoy the fellowship and fresh new anointing of Holy Spirit.  For almost 150 years, Ghana, on Africa’s west coast, was center of the British slave trade. She had painful memories. The past has gone. Now there was healing in the land through the love of God. Not just healing, there was great revival ongoing.  My wife and I had witnessed the great movement of God and blessings. We were there last April had fellowship and had opportunities to ministry with Saint Luke Anglican Church, Regent University, Watered Garden Church, The hour of solution church in Accra, the capital city and IAFB in Kumasi which is second city of Ghana. One of the main reasons to my visit there was to challenge and motivate the church and leaders to understand the needs of the cross-cultural missions in the last days and also to establish the Mission Motivators Africa, as a first Ghanaians’ mission agency in the country, to take the responsibility to reach out Africa to Europe and all the way to Israel (Called Back to Jerusalem Project) through the recruit missionaries, equip and send them out with love and hope in Jesus Christ to prepare His second coming.

Praise God!  Our mission was completed. Now there are new appointed leaders of MM Africa to take the mission and vision of MM that I had received from the Lord.

Partners! Thank you for all your prayers and great supports to make this happened. And also I am so thankful to my dearest co-workers Dr. Justice and his wife Carolyn to accommodate us with endless hospitality and love.

May God bless the MM Africa Team richly!

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

One of my daily routine is to go out to market and buy fresh pumpkin flowers and moringa leaves.  At first, vendors were not giving much attention to me whenever I pass by their shops. But one day I was speaking with Roshan in English and people started to ask who we are.  I smiled as usual and tell them that we are Filipinos. Their second question was am I working in casino like many other Filipinos in Poipet. This is the open door for me to tell them that I am a Christian and starting to share about Jesus and friendship started to be developed.  This is also the start of being known in the market place. The vendors just so sweet and friendly not because I am a foreigner buying their products but because they see and feel something different the way I relate with them. Through our actions and words we are reflecting the life of Jesus in us!  Mahatma Gandhi once said, “I like their Christ but not the Christians”.  He stated this because many claiming who are Christians but not living like Christ.  We ought to emit the real “Light” in us in order for others to see their dim path. Let us share our faith, live and act like Christ!

It is my very heart’s desire to be closed to the women in the market as well as in village we are ministering.  My heart is always struck seeing mothers being together in one place and playing cards instead of planting in their small backyards and taking care to their malnourish children.  I am praying to the Lord the right approach to touch these women.  I desire to see them not only giving their lives to God but also to become responsible moms.  We covet your prayers for them.

Mission Motivators works with the world’s oppressive countries like China, Laos, Vitnam, Mindanao,Philippines, strengthening Christians to stand strong in the face of persecution and equipping them to shine Christ’s light in these dark places. The greatest challenge to Christians living under tyranny and oppression is isolation – from God’s Word and from the body of Christ. Where other organizations cannot enter or have been forced to flee by oppressive governments or cultures, Mission Motivators can often be found– training Christian leaders, developing, Christian house church and ensuring prayer, presence and advocacy for these suffering believers. When these Christians are strengthened in the Lord, they begin to demonstrate God’s forgiveness and reach out in
love, even to their oppressors. Pray with us this new year to work together with the percecuted church around the world.
