Our church theme in 2021 was “Let God Arise.” I wanted the church to let God arise in their soul winning, prayer, and Bible reading. The work continues, as God “. . . is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
I am so thankful that our family is involved in the Lord’s work! We thank the Lord for His protection and His many blessings this year. This year has seen God working especially in our church and in the souls in La Trinidad, Philippines. As I look back, we have seen lives changed and the church strengthened. The Word of God is powerful, and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ still works!
The church just finished its annual Missions Conference. Our church sacrifices financially and now supports almost 40 missionaries, including our newest missionaries, who spent 20 years in China but have been banned from returning. They are now going to serve the Lord in Bolivia. We are rejoicing because of the great things God has done in 2021!!
We want to thank those who have personally helped us this past year with their prayers, support, and encouragements. Because of the pandemic, we are now entering six years without going home to America. We are not discouraged or depressed, but we do miss going back to visit family and friends. We are praying for God’s plan for furlough. Immigration has a lot of ever-changing protocols and guidelines, but we are trusting the Lord to give us the finances, wisdom, and understanding about His plans.
Our prayer requests for 2022 are for more souls to be saved, soul winners to be trained, and that God would get all the glory. We pray that you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We pray that the Lord will bring many blessings to you all in the year ahead. Thank you again for your prayers and support.
Your missionaries to the Philippines,
Mark and Kim Palmani
Anastasia, Rachel, and AJ
