Thank you friends for praying us through another term. This term tested us in some new ways, but God has been faithful. We were able to enjoy a couple days of vacation away this week to regroup as a family after the trimester and last week’s full ministry week event (More on that next week). Still so proud of the kids for how they are persevering here!

But we wanted to update you on what transpired in the trainings we asked you to pray about with the Bureau of Fire Protection here. The class we helped teach involved 32 Inspectors from all over the Philippines – many of whom are away from their families for several months as they get trained and qualified for promotions.
My colleagues here and I covered 52 total seminar hours, of which I did 8 hours on influencing culture and leading change. I was excited to do this because it was a very new type of experience and it was very developmental. But I found that I was able to tap into many of their struggles – both career and personally, as I walked them through the dynamics of change and especially its impact on people. It was a big effort, but I was glad to take part.
Most powerfully, in one of the final sessions focused on conflict resolution and reconciliation, IGSL’s President Tom Roxas came in to share his personal testimony of forgiveness and reconciliation with a mobster who murdered his brother. It was powerful and many in the room responded with tears to an invitation to experience reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ.
The feedback we’ve gotten indicates that getting the leadership training from us, with the Biblical foundations, was really transformational for many of the officers. And it was so well received, our team was asked to offer the overall course of training again to a higher ranking group of officers in the Bureau of Fire Protection (Majors). Conversations are still in the works on some kind of more formal partnership with their leadership training as well as with a proposal for us to begin sending one of our student “Target Area Ministry” teams to the Bureau of Fire soon. You can pray for that!
But another wild and fun step of faith. Also worth mentioning here – last week we sent 5 teams of students to the police academy to do continued follow-up and discipleship from the outreach last month that saw around 500 come to faith or recommit their lives to Christ. Because of the generally religious culture here, such follow up is so important and it’s been encouraging to hear the stories of authentic life change in Christ! Thank you for praying!
