Dear Friends,
I’ve taken the opportunity to send on a quick update tagged upon our friend Carol’s letter.

Grace to you,
Thanks Carol!
Your son and daughter are great examples of God’s love and faithfulness. I know you are proud, and you should be!

We have been visiting jails, orphanages, and churches. Lots of love shared, lots of lives touched. The women’s jail in particular touched me. None of the women looked  like “Inmates”. There were a few who had been using their time there to minister to their cell mates. We just joined their efforts. As I was praying for one woman, I told her “The Father loves you.”  She stiffened up quite a bit, and I knew I had hit a nerve. But I didn’t let go, and I kept repeating it. I know the Spirit is moving!

We are traveling to Bontoc today. It is a few hours north of where we are in Baguio…. which is a few hours north of Manila.

Pray for our team as there are some squabbles disrupting the unity.

We love you!
Thanks for your love and prayers!
Grace to you and Mark,
Fred

Jim asked me to forward this email along.  He doesn’t have everyone’s email but wanted to stay in touch with everyone. Enjoy  Carol

Hey everybody,
    I haven’t talked to many of you in a long time, but I wanted to tell you all how much your prayers for our family meant to us while we were in the hospital with Josh and Grace.  Their long stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was quite the adventure, but they are doing wonderful now.  They are a little over 8 months old.  We just started them on some rice cereal last night.  They are rolling over and Grace especially likes to ‘migrate’ from place to place.  She doesn’t crawl yet, but she might as well because we’ll find her places we didn’t leave her!    She likes to scoot.  Josh is a real cuddlebug…he enjoys his snuggle time very much which is foreign to us because Lynnae was never like that.  Grace is fairly independent, but she has found her voice…she likes to screech just for fun.  (I’m thinking maybe we should invest in some earplugs.)  Lynnae is speaking very fluently.  Her sentence structure is amazing and she has an incredible memory.  Just yesterday she came up to Jaime and said “My owie on my knee is getting better, mama!”  Amazing…how do they learn that stuff?    Jaime and I are doing great.  With Jaime staying at home, they kids are well adjusted and she keeps the house up very well.  She is a better wife than I could ever ask for.  She is teaching the 1st Grade Missionettes class at church on Wednesday nights and is enjoying getting to contribute into the lives of little girls.  I’m enjoying ministry very much.  God is doing incredible things.  Just the other day during worship, God spoke to my heart that somebody was going to get healed.  During fellowship time while the congregation was greeting one another, a woman came up to Pastor Jim and testified about what God did for her.  Pastor stopped the whole fellowship time briefly to let her testify…this is what she said: “I have had really poor eyesight and the screen with the words on it is always blurry.  While we were singing my eyes cleared up and I can see perfectly!”  The place went nuts.  Souls are being saved, bodies are being healed and God is getting all the glory for it.  He is awesome and He answers prayers.  If you’re waiting for an answer, don’t stop praying. 
    We’re preparing for a Christmas Production that we are praying many souls come to Jesus through.  Please pray for us in that as we approach Christmas time.
    Please know we love each of you and look forward to seeing you soon!  May God richly bless everything you do.  Keep your eyes fixed on Him…He’s closer than we realize.
