NEW DIRECTION

In many ways, Gary is starting a new chapter in his life. He continues to recover from his cancer treatments and we praise God that he has no active cancer in him at this time. Instead of doing away with this blog, we decided to take it in another direction.We will now use it as a way for Gary to share insights and devotions with our church family and Bible College students here in the Philippines. We will still post about Gary's health, but thankfully, those post will be few and far between. You are welcome to still check in and we hope you do. We can't say enough how much we appreciate all the prayers and encouragement through the last two years! We have made life-long friends with many of you and hope you continue to stay connected!

Gary with our Executive Pastor, Jun Mostrales, discussing new ministry opportunity

This time of year is very hot in the Philippines and it seems to bother Gary more. Since arriving back in the Philippines, after a month in the States, Gary has had a hard time. He "hit the road running" and that may have something to do with it. He still tires very easy and his right eye gives him trouble. We have come to realize that recovery just doesn't happen overnight. It may take a long time ... and .... he may never fully recover. He battles pain constantly and recently, has had days of severe nausea. Please pray for him that he can accomplish what he wants to do and his strength levels will return.
