UPDATE - Samuel Comising, National Church Planter, Philippines 8/30/10

Like the Psalmist who extolled God’s goodness, I can say that in spite of the many struggles and challenges that we have to go through in our lives and ministries, God still upholds us so that we can serve Him faithfully.

Last month, I visited Blessed Hope Christian Church in Gaswiling, a recent addition to our churches, planted last April, 2010. The purpose of my visit was to secure a lot where our brethren can construct a chapel for worship. The Lord has provided a 250 square meter property beside the main road. Please pray for the fast processing of the lot title so we can immediately construct a place for worship.

Our medical mission in BHCC, Molino, held July 24, was successful as well. It was held for our brethren, their relatives and our neighbors. One hundred fifty-five patients came for checkups; they also received medicines and New Testament Bibles from Gideon’s International. Please pray for us in the work of follow-up for those who prayed to receive Jesus Christ as well as those who requested home Bible studies.

After three laser surgeries to repair my retina in the last two months, I am now being screened to monitor and manage my blood sugar to be ready for cataract surgery on Friday, August 27. Please pray for my operation as well as God’s provision for all financial needs. $1500 will be needed to pay for all the expenses. Thank you in advance for all your prayers. I want to continue serving the Lord until He calls me home.
