April / May 2020

God's blessings,

April & May just pasted and we are still in Florida waiting for the Philippines lockdown to end so we can be on our way.  Even with us in the U.S. a lot has still been happening with One Life / Food for Life Ministry.  Our feedings and outreaches in the Mountains still continue.  Because of such a strict lockdown for the Filipinos they are unable to travel to the markets except for a couple hours once a week.  When the people are allowed to travel to the market, their food resources are limited.  People are out of work due to such a strict lockdown so a lot of people do not even have money to purchase food.  Many people are suffering from starvation.  Our One Life radio ministry was allowed to travel to report the news and this gives us the opportunity to make food drops in different regions.  We have volunteers who package up the food then Pastor Amlon and the media team are able to distribute it.  Up to date Pastor Dave has reported that about 20,000 lbs. of rice so far have been given out. Approximately $8,500 of donations have been used towards the relief for hungry families.  We also are working with Faith Tribal ministry helping with distribution of food and gave Pastor Ching Tao 1000 lbs. of rice for their area because they are not allowed to travel and we shipped another 1000 lbs. to Davao.

We just got report that the shelter house (orphanage) we have been building for the 18 children that were found stranded, because of parents killed or missing, now has a roof and floor.  We are so eager to get to the Philippines. As pastor Dave says "There’s a lot happening there, you will be greatly appreciated when you get there, there is much room for ministry."

Prayer warriors please pray:

1) Quote from Pastor Amlon "If the total community quarantine will continue until next month many will die due to common sicknesses and starvation.  Just continue to pray for us here, as we also pray for you there.  God bless."

2) Pray for our travels to open so we can get to the Philippines to start helping where needed in the ministry.

3) One Life Ministry funds are now very low, as our giving is down with so many out of work.  Please ask for prayer concerning the healing of our nation and the opening of our economy. .....Thank you

Every penny donated will be significant in the life of the people of Mindanao.

Thank You,

Love,

Missionaries Michael & Tammy Naumann
