We have been incredibly blessed by how the Lord provided for our short, two-month trip to the U.S. We were able to attend my youngest sibling’s high school graduation and my brother’s wedding. It was genuinely refreshing to spend time with our family, visit a few supporting churches, and explore new ones. We praise the Lord that so far, two churches have responded and committed to partnering with us in the ministry. It is a big help and will let us do more for God. Please pray that the other five churches with which we had meetings would support us as well.

Speaking of doing more, we arrived at our island just a few days before our church anniversary. God has been so good to our church, as this is now our 2nd church anniversary in our new building. What a difference it was from our church’s anniversary last year, where the main auditorium floor was a concrete slab, we had no doors or windows for the back entrance, and we had to use a pool for baptisms! There’s still some more work to be done, including laying tile for the balcony. We are about 75% done with our church building. Please pray that next year we can fully complete the church building and have our Grand Opening. Our church building is a testament to our church’s faithfulness, and we are so grateful for what the Lord has done. We had our highest attendance ever for our morning anniversary service with nearly 500! In addition to this, 35 people accepted Christ as their Saviour, and 3 baptisms took place. We also praise God for our good relationship with our local town government, as we were blessed to have our mayor in attendance!

We are excited that, in a few weeks on November 23, we will celebrate the 1st anniversary of one of the new ministries that my family started, an extension church in an area called Nato. This extension church (chapel) is located 15 minutes outside the town proper, out in the jungle countryside, where church services are held every Sunday afternoon. Praise the Lord, He has blessed this new ministry, and we have seen significant growth in attendance from 0 to 50. We are now in need of expanding our bamboo auditorium and purchasing the land lot. The owner of the lot, a sister of one of our faithful workers and a member of our church, has graciously allowed us to use the lot for our extension church at no cost. It is now our desire to purchase this lot so that there will be no question as to the future of our extension church. Please pray and consider investing in this new ministry. We are raising $1,100 for the lot (this is a discounted price that the owner has given to us), which is 256 square meters (2,755 square feet).

Let us go into the next towns, that I [Jesus] may preach there also,
