PHILIPPINES—The field is hosting two Gordon-Conwell seminary students for six weeks of course credit in field evangelism with ECC church planting teams in Baguio and Lucena. They are also hosting a student for four weeks from Indiana Wesleyan University who will live and work with our national church planters. Pray that they will have an effective ministry and will be sensitive to God’s leading for their lives.
Pray for the Kennedy’s daughter, Melody, to get off to a good start in a new college as a second-year student. The OMS-related Faith Fellowship church is sending a young man with financial need on a full scholarship to a four-year college. This is a pilot program. Both colleges begin June 9.
Pray for a 15-year-old boy with leprosy who has been placed in a specialized hospital through the church poverty outreach program. Pray that the treatments will not only cure his disease, but more importantly, that he will find healing for his soul, which is badly damaged by the social isolation and stigma he has suffered. Pray also that there is no lasting physical damage.
