welcome

WELCOME ! This blog is DEVOTED to issues, prayer, care, information, etc about post-typhoon-haiyan in the affected areas of the Philippines (November, 2013). My life & ministry is generally devoted to all matters of Christian kindness, disaster relief, helping one's neighbor (near & far) etc, but also I have a specific interest in the Philippines having done mission work there (specifically in Tacloban, briefly; as well as Iloilo, which was also affected, apparently) & knowing the Filipino people to be very loving, in general. This is NOT a fund-raising website, just random. May God be with our Filipino brothers & sisters.

Here are two photos from my mission experience: 

above: this was on the island of Leyte near Tacloban, our missionary host took us up the river for a day of rest & relaxation & we had fun jumping off this rock 

 above: I can't recall specifically what city or island this was on, but it was one of our outdoor evangelism activities at a school 

"Prayer for the Dead
"Panalangin para sa patay
Diyos ang aming Ama,
Ang iyong kapangyarihan ay nagdudulot sa amin sa kapanganakan,
Ang iyong kalinga Gabay ating buhay,
at sa pamamagitan ng iyong mga utos 
bumalik kami sa dust.
Panginoon, ang mga taong mamamatay pa rin mabuhay sa Iyong presensya,
kanilang buhay baguhin ngunit hindi tapusin.
Magdasal ako sa pag-asa para sa aking pamilya,
kamag-anak at mga kaibigan,
at para sa lahat ng mga patay na alam mong mag-isa.

Sa kumpanya na may Kristo,
Sino ang namatay at ngayon ay buhay,
maaari nilang magalak sa iyong kaharian,
kung saan lahat ng aming mga luha ay wiped ang layo.
Makiisa sa amin magkasama muli sa isang pamilya,
upang kantahin ang iyong papuri magpakailanman at kailanman.Amen. "

God our Father, 

Your power brings us to birth, 

Your providence guides our lives, 

and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, 

their lives change but do not end. 

I pray in hope for my family, 

relatives and friends, 

and for all the dead known to You alone. 

In company with Christ, 

Who died and now lives, 

may they rejoice in Your kingdom, 

where all our tears are wiped away. 

Unite us together again in one family, 

to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen."

"Kung ipahayag mo sa iyong bibig,

"Si Jesus ay Panginoon," &

  naniniwala sa iyong

HEART

na ang Diyos

  itinaas Niya

  mula sa mga patay,

ikaw ay maliligtas. "

     Roma 10.9

GREETINGS! INVITE ko U2 tanggapin si HESUS KRISTO AS ANG IYONG PANGINOON AT TAGAPAGTIGAY NGAYONG ARAW, KARAPATAN NGAYON, O ANUMANG, AT NASA NAWALA! Huwag maghintay hanggang masyadong HULING. Huwag mag-atubiling. Ang mga kahihinatnan ay masyadong mahusay.! Magpakumbaba ka. HINDI mo HINDI gawin ito mag-isa. Walang sinuman sa atin ang makakaya. Ginagarantiya ng 100% KABAYARAN RATE para sa mga taong subukan upang pumunta IT nag-iisa. Lumuhod ka ngayon at sabihin kay Jesus, "Paumanhin at salamat, sumuko ako sa IYO, PANGINOON, at ipagkaloob ang aking BUHAY 2 U, ngayon at magpakailanman"

" If u declare with your mouth,

“Jesus is Lord,” &

 believe in your  

HEART 

that God

 raised Him

 from the dead, 

u will be saved." 

                                            Romans 10.9

GREETINGS ! I INVITE U2 accept JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD & SAVIOR TODAY, RIGHT NOW, OR ANYTIME, & BE SAVED ! Don't wait until it is TOO LATE. Don't Hesitate. The consequences are TOO GREAT.! Humble yourself. You CANNOT do it alone. None of us can. Guaranteed 100% FAILURE RATE for those who try to GO IT ALONE. Kneel down now and say to Jesus, "Sorry & Thank you, I surrender to YOU, LORD, & Commit my LIFE 2 U, now & forever"
