MISSION TRIP UPDATE
I wanted to share another update on our mission trip to Biao, Philippines. Gordon, Cherry and Maria will make an investigative trip in March 2009 to identify and document transportation, housing, meeting & eating facilities, lodging, and cost prior to our official missions trip in 2010. As you are all aware the economic conditions here in the states is less than favorable. We would ask that you pray for a safe trip and that God will provide the finances to make this trip a success.

A Mission with a Plan
The Philippines is composed of 7,108 islands of which over 700 are inhabited. The total land area is 300,000 kilometers, with 73 provinces and has a population of around 82 million people.
The county has a mixed agricultural and industrial economy. There is serious economic difficulties which have worsened un the combined impact of the oil crisis, decline of export income, widespread corruption in the Administration, social and political unrest because of the Communist and Muslim terroristic activities and a series of natural disasters. Loss of international confidence in the country's future since 1983 has resulted in hardship and rising unemployment. The inflation rate is 80% and is suffering from widespread poverty.
We firmly believe this Country is a mission field that is ready for harvest. There is a great hunger for God in this country as never seen before. We ask for your continued prayers and support as we continue to plan for our mission trip.
