Dear Friends and Partners in Christ,

Greetings from the busy streets of Masbate City!  I am here at a sidewalk internet cafe.  Sis Marcia (our school administrator) and I have been here in the city for three days scouting for a place to rent for the training center.  Finally this morning we found one that will probably meet the need of the training center but will need much improvement.  It is located in the main street about a mile away from the city proper.  We also had the favor to speak to the Pastor’s Meeting yesterday to introduce the bible school.  We had a good reception and feedback beyond our expectations.  We also went ahead and interviewed students who were present at the meeting.  The Lord is truly good!  We are also blessed to receive military cots from Lord of the Harvest Church in San Antonio needing to be shipped here in Masbate.  This will be used by the students in their dormitory.  Thank you very much Pastor Joe and the LHC family.  As far as needing a school administrator, one of our alumni residing in Hongkong, Sis Jackie Ballesteros, will be returning to the Philippines this month to take charge of the training center under the supervision of Sis Marcia. Masbate training center will officially open August 4 (monday).
