Greeting Friends & Supporters:

We  had  a  good  trip  to  the  Philippines.  God  blessed  us  and  used  us.  And  many  people  were  touched  by  His  hand.  We  accomplished  our  mission:  

1.  To  preach  the  Gospel  2.  To  encourage  the  church  3.  To  uplift  the  ones  we  support  4.  To  set  in  motion  all  that  is  needed  to  publish  my  new  book.  I  was  amazed  at  the  size  of  the  crowds  that  turned  out.  in  some  meetings,  there  were  over  400  people.  At  three  of  the  church  dedications  the  buildings  were  full,  with  people  standing  outside.  One  of  the  church  meetings  were  held  outside  because  of  the  crowd  and  they  fed  us  inside  after  the  service.  One  unannounced  meeting,  on  the  last  Sunday  there,  the  altar  was  full  and  so  many  were  seeking  the  God  for  healing  and  various  other  needs.  The  altar  services  were  very  refreshing  to  me,  after  such  a  long  season  of  barren  altar  services  in  the  States.  We  were  blessed  also  to  have  out  son-in-law  (Forrest)  traveling  with  us.  He  is  already  planning  to  return  to  the  Philippines.  I  am  blessed  by his  assistance.

Traveling  to  a  third-world  country  isn’t  easy  these  days,  but  it  is  very  rewarding,  and  it  lets  you  know  there  are  still  people  hungry  for  God  and  His  purpose.  This  is  where  God  sent  me  40  years  ago.  i  can  feel  a  total  change  in  my  spirit  and  body,  by  just  being  there.  Just  listening  to  the  chatter  of  the  people  and  the sounds  of  everyday  life,  for  some  reason,  makes  me  weep.  I  can  testify,  like  Paul,  I  have  not  been  disobedient  to  the  Heavenly  vision.

We  are  now  supporting  42  pastors  in  the  Philippines.  We  made  a  few  changes,  due  to  the  death  of  our  dear  friend  and  brother  in-Christ,  Sencio  Alipio,  who  will  be  greatly  missed.  He  was  my  interpreter for  many  years.  We  are  still  supporting  7  mission  outreaches,  one  in  particular,  that  is  feeding  the  children  and  the  elderly.  We  also  continue  our  home  missions,  which  is  a  CD  (past  and  present  messages)  that  we  mail  out  every  other  month.  

We  do  thank  each  of  you  who  make  this  possible.  You’ve  been  so  faithful  and  generous  in  your  giving.  Over  40  years  ago,  God  took  two  nobodies, and  made  them  two  somebodies,  that  are  reaching  out  around  the  world  because  of  you!

                                                             Love,

                                                                    David & Judy Tolbert
