July 2024
On July 15th Michael traveled to the U.S. Embassy on the Island of Luzon.
He is now one of 72 members of the Citizen Liaison Volunteers (CLV) providing assistance to U.S. citizens in the Philippines.
American Citizens Services provides services to approx over 700,000 U.S. citizens visiting & living in the Philippines each year.
As a CLV, his role is helping provide services which are crucial to the success in communicating with and protecting the welfare of U.S. citizens in the Philippines.
CLVs fulfill many vital roles in assisting U.S. citizens overseas, providing a reliable way to reach U.S. citizens in the event of an emergency, and serving as eyes and ears across the Philippines.
In addition he will be part of the visitations of the approx 100 U.S. citizens in prisons around the Philippines assuring their welfare is within guidelines limits.
Also he will be responding to death notifications and arrests of U.S. citizens in his covered territory.
As missionaries, in 2020, we personally started helping an indigenous girl, Ivy, who needed help with going to college.
Ivy calls us mom & dad and we call her our daughter.
We have been blessed to be able to sponsor her and now with excitement share that she has graduated from college to be a teacher.
Without God's blessings to us, Ivy would have not been able to fulfill her dreams.
The school year has started here and Agape Ministry has a school for kids preschool to 6th grade.
God has worked through 2 individuals in the U.S.
One has sponsored 2 children and the other has sponsored 3 children who could not afford Chirstian school.
This all came about by a simple conversion about how much it cost to go to the Agape Christian School.
If you want to be part of a child's future in Christian education you can also sponsor a child.
The school year of 10 months is only $30 dollars a month or $300 for the full year.
The families are overwhelmed with joy and want to pour out their thanks to the individuales in the U.S. by being sponsored through Gods Love Ministry Worldwide and we now have set up a place for the Scholarship fund on our tithe.ly drop down box.
Sad to say we have not received any additional funds for Pastor Gilbert.
He needs to have reconstructive prostate surgery.
We have raised $1050.00, he needs $2142.00
He is now trying to sell his property for this.
He goes to the hospital every 10 days to change his catheter.
Please consider being part of helping Pastor Gilbert with this urgent need, thanks to all who already gave.
Prayer warriors please pray for:
1. God's guidance & provision in all we do.
2. Pastor Gilbert funds for surgery
If you want to be part of what God is doing in the Philippines, be a Kingdom building sponsor and commit to $25 a month or $300 a year or any amount that God puts on your heart.
Luke 21:1-4
“Then he saw a poor widow put in two pennies.
He said, “The plain truth is that this widow has given by far the largest offering today.
All these others made offerings that they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn’t afford-
she gave her all!”
