Dear Prayer Partners,
We want to thank you for your prayers for our ministry. Things are
going well in Manila and we are thankful that people are being saved
each week in our services and various ministries.
Our church in the
Philippines just finished their annual Missions Conference.
We were able to take on a new Filipino missionary and his family to
the country of Nepal and we had a strong commitment to Faith Promise
Missions. We had the privilege of seeing one of the missionary
families sent out of Sumulong Baptist Church, Pastor Jojo and Nena
Miraflor, here in Springfield in February. They are missionaries in
Cambodia and are doing a great job. They have been able to start
three churches in Cambodia as well as a Bible Institute. They are
here in the States to raise needed funds for ministry and for a
reliable vehicle in Cambodia. If you would like to be a blessing to
the Miraflor family by helping with their vehicle needs, please send
funds marked: Motor Vehicle.
We want to thank you
for your prayers for our youth camp; in our last letter, we told you
about the Rotary Club of Marikina and their involvement in our camps
this year. The Rotary Club will be sending the leaders and officers
of the SK youth organizations from various neighborhoods around the
city of Marikina. We ask you to continue to pray that these leaders
would come to camp and be saved; we are also praying that this will
result in many more young people from those neighborhoods coming in
2008. This is a great opportunity to reach into neighborhoods where
we haven't been able to go before. We are thankful for those who
have already responded to the financial needs for camp. We still
need to raise $15,000 for camp. We are trying to raise $15 per
camper; we pray you could be involved in this special time that
makes an eternal impact in so many young people's lives. Please pray
for the following needs and results at camp:
-
Salvation Decisions - pray that the Gospel would
be clear and easily understood
-
Surrender to Ministry - we want to continue to
see young people to surrender to be pastors, full-time Christian
workers and missionaries
-
Financial Needs - $15,000 still needed
We also ask you to continue to pray about our land
and building fund, The Legacy Project. We are thankful for the
commitments that have already been made. Our goal is to raise
$250,000 by May 2008. We have commitments of almost $50,000 so far;
we still need to raise $200,000 for this project. We pray that you
could be a part of the Legacy Project; please send gifts to:
BBFI - Gotcher/LEGACY PROJECT
PO Box 191
Springfield, MO 65801
Thank you for partnering with us to take the Gospel
to the Philippines.
In Christ,
The Gotchers
