Countdown

In 14 days we leave for Latvia to minister at the Baltic School of Ministry.   We are very excited to be able to help equip and disciple the young adults who attend this school each year.  Our topic will once again be Biblical Counseling and the way we approach this topic is that all of us regardless of our calling or career will be advice givers. So we spend the week teaching them how to give biblical advice and help their friends and family deal with life issues.

Please begin praying for us and these students now and ask God to prepare all of our hearts for our time together.

Much Love,
PW and Sherry

Some of God's choice servants in the Philippines - final day

The two days we spent with these brothers and sisters was such a blessing. They are serving God in conditions that sometimes are difficult, but they love God and want to share the good news. 

This is the letter Rannie sent this morning:

Dear Pastor Wayne and Sister Sherry,

Thank you very much also to giving us time, your effort and love and also the finances to invest the work of the Lord. We love you so much both of you. Regarding our time spent in seminar it really works goo and it was fruitful. 

Feedback from the pastors....  There are some Pastors here open their mind by the word of the Lord regarding how to raise a Godly children especially we are Pastors and we are a model and also we are much encourage to disciplne the children in the Biblical way. Through this teaching we can see in our lives that we discipline our children in our own way and emotions. 

Regarding the pictures we will attached the groups pictures of our seminar. Our prayer both you that God will give you always in a good health. Please say hello the people of your congregation there. 

Much Love,
Rannie and Rosemarie.

Love the smiling faces.  It has been  joy to minister to these precious Servants.

Pastor Rannie Lamento Hosted this seminar at his Church building. 

This is the view that they all have, you can see PW teaching on the screen. 

This is our view as we teach from the front via Skype.

You can see the tiredness on their faces, this is around 10:30 P.M. 

But they requested an evening meeting because the Internet connection was better. It was true, we did not have any interruption of service.  We were blessed that they endured this long. They still had questions at the end in spite of the fatigue and heat.  

If you look real close you can see both of us on the screen. 

Please keep these Pastors and their families in prayer because they face many difficult problems among their people.  

 We love you brothers and sisters and were so blessed by our time with you. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to minister to you.  Thank you for your teachable spirits and hunger to know the truth. We pray that someday we can meet face to face and get to know you in a more personal way. Until then.........May God bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you.

Much love, 

PW and Sherry

They Endured to the End

This Morning we had the incredible privilege of ministering to a group of Philippine Pastors and their wives via Skype.  Usually we do the Yearly Marriage seminar when it is day time there, but they decided to try doing the seminar at night over there so that meant we were bright and bushy tailed while they needed toothpicks to hold their eyes open.  LOL   The good thing was that the internet connection is much clearer at night for them. So we had no delays or blackouts.

The time seemed profitable and when we opened it up for questions they had 3 really good ones about marriage and the answers became whole teachings in themselves. 

We have one more day with them so please keep us in prayer. 

Much Love, 

PW and Sherry

Privileged

Ministering in the name of the Lord is such a privilege.  Each time we receive an invitation to come somewhere we are humbled that God would see fit to use us to encourage and teach His children.

On March 23 and 24th we will once again be ministering to a group of Pastors and their Wives in the Philippines via Skype. The topics we have been asked to cover are United Parenting and Building a Healthy Marriage.

Please pray that not only would the anointing of God be upon us but that the connection will stay strong without delays or interruptions.

So often when we do Skype with these precious brothers and sisters the connection is broken and as you can imagine it is very frustrating for us all.  But God has not show us any other way at the moment so we muddle along.

It is always fun to connect with these saints.  We like to interact with them through questions and answers and also do private counseling with them if they request that.  Our hearts desire would be to one day be able to safely travel to the island and meet them face to face.  The island is Mindanao and is one of the countries about which our government has issued travel warnings .  On this particular island there is a huge Muslim population so it makes it very dangerous for us or any westerner to travel there.  It is also dangerous for the Christians who live there but they boldly proclaim the gospel in spite of the potential danger.

So please start praying now and continue until the 24th.  Thank you so much.

Much love,
PW and Sherry
