May 2008

Dear Fellow Saints,

ALL ABOUT US: God gave us a vision of 50,000 for camp, equipping us to accomplish His goal. Words can not express what the Lord is doing here in the lives of these young Filipinos. Our churches and the Bible College are filling up with those whose lives have been forever changed and who desire to change the "forever" of others through the gospel. In the midst of all this activity it is time for us to return Stateside for furlough.

KEEP PRAYING: 1. The staff and workers of ABC will keep the vision in front of them and work hard despite our absence. 2. Cell groups that have been formed will stay strong and committed to discipling new believers. 3. Our children will adjust back to life in the USA without too much difficulty. 4. Safety for our son Jon, currently in Iraq.

EXCITING EVENTS:  1. While in the states, we will change from the BBFI "short term" mission program to affiliated status with the BBFI 2. Tammy has officially been accepted to teach again at Faith Academy upon our return next year. This will reduce the fees for all BBFI missionaries with children at Faith. 3. Our son Jon gets "leave" from Iraq this June or July so we may see him and hold him close, it has been a long time!

REST OF OUR NEEDS:  We need you; you are the conduit between the vision God gives us and the fruit you read about in these letters-you empower our hands and feet with your generous giving and faithful prayers. We hope to see all of you face to face in this upcoming year. Until we get established our contact number will be our sending church Antioch Bible Baptist in Gladstone, Mo: 816-436-1649. Email: akers4him@iuno.com

SING PRAISE TO GOD:  Looking back over the last 4 years in the Philippines, we know all things have been accomplished through the grace and power of our Lord. Beginning our "missionary" journey 8 years ago, we carried with us Jeremiah 10:23 "I know, 0 Lord, that a man's way is not in himself; Nor is it in man who walks to direct his steps." .  

Pagpalain ka ng Diyos

Love Roger and Tammy

                                             We praise the Lord for your partnership!              
Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.  2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV)
