Postcards
from the field
Manila
God did not call me to
the “10-40”
window. The place where
I serve has had missionaries
for decades. Regardless,
over 95% of my target
group does not have a
personal relationship
with Christ. I am referring
to the hundreds of thousands
of college students here
in Manila , Philippines
.
This
is a harvest field in
every since of the word.
The students often eagerly
respond to the gospel.
They are simply waiting
to hear—waiting
to find what religion,
personal success or human
relationships cannot give
them. They are waiting
for someone like you to
tell them how to know
God personally.
God
is using missionaries
(ISC/Journeyman/Career),
Filipino evangelists and
summer missionaries to
reach these students.
A new semester began in
June, so our ministry
is now going on in full
force. Filipinos hang
out in groups, and that
is how we present the
gospel to them. Words
cannot express the joy
of sharing with eight
or nine college students
who have never known of
God’s saving grace.
Our
prayer is that God will
begin a church-planting
movement on the college
campuses of Manila . We
want students to evangelize
and disciple other students.
Most
Filipinos desire to work
abroad once they graduate.
Many of our students will
be scattered all over
the world within a few
years. We are praying
for a movement of God
that will send Filipino
missionaries all over
Asia .
Please
remember these requests
in your prayers:
- Pray
that we will have divine
appointments—that
we will continually
meet those students
who are ready to receive
Christ.
-
Pray for strong student
leaders on our campuses.
Pray that they will
boldly evangelize and
lead their own Bible
studies.
-
Pray that God will call
new workers to this
field to replace departing
Journeymen.
