Praise God!


After months of praying and planning it’s almost time!  A team of people from PBC will board a plane and fly around the world to the Philippines!  Are we excited?  Yes!  Are we nervous?  Probably a little!  Are we anticipating God to do great things in our lives?  Definitely!  Do we expect God to make a difference in the lives of the Filipinos? Absolutely!

As I anticipate our trip I am also humbly overwhelmed as I think about the faithfulness of our Father and the generosity of His people here at the Chapel!  After 6 weeks of mission moments which culminated in the bazaar, $55,542 was raised for this service opportunity.  We might be a small number of people but we serve a huge God and He has provided abundantly!  What has been provided?  18 people are going because the body of Christ is sending.  And, they are going with at least 18 large suitcases of eyeglasses, medicines, children’s crafts and games, medical and dental supplies for the clinic, and personal hygiene items.  (See the attached pictures for just a sampling of items.)

So, yes, I am humbly overwhelmed by God’s faithfulness to provide through the generous hearts of His people!  Thank you so very much for partnering with the Philippine Missions Team and being the hands and feet of God!  Thank you for fulfilling the words of our Savior in Matthew 28…“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The body of believers at PBC has once again blessed my life richly!  THANK YOU!

Because we serve a risen Savior!  Susan and the team J
