Dear Friends

All about us: Don't you just love moving? Well it took quite some time, but we have moved for the third time since our arrival here in Manila. Praise God for His provision! Amidst all that the BBC of Asia started up in June with 330 new students and Roger has begun teaching again. Tammy will be teaching 7th grade Bible at Faith Academy starting this August (this cuts costs for all the BBFI missionaries whose children attend Faith).

Keep praying for: 1.) Leadership training at Antioch Baptist Church so we can continue to reach lost people. 2.) Financial needs which grow for us as the Dollar to Piso rate continues to drop. 3.) For our 4 children as they prepare to start school Aug. 14th at Faith Academy. 4.) Our son Jon in the US Navy. 5.) Together with BBFI missionary Greg Lyons we have started the church planting process in Makati, pray for the team efforts of Community Baptist Church / Makati.

Exciting events: 1.) "X-Men" Camp participation was at an all time high of 37,936 campers, with 13,185 saved and 3,578 baptized at camp! 2.) Doing ministry with the groups from Antioch Bible Baptist Church and Overland Park Baptist Temple that came this summer. What a blessing to work side by side! 3.) For the growing response to our Saturday night service and the youth that are attending.

Rest of our needs: 1.) We need you to come minister with us! Come see God work first hand. Let's talk about you and a short term mission trip 2.) We need a vehicle for our church ministry - pray with us the Lord would provide $2000- $2500 3.) 2 tires for my van - $150. 4.) We are in need of a new laptop computer for our ministry -$1000.

Sing praise to God: 1.) For our new house which really feels likes "home". Located in the hills and abounding with fruit trees, this house is a haven away from the polluted urban city. 2.) For finding someone to rent the guest room in our house to help subsidize our rent. 3.) For extra financial help from Antioch to make our move easier. "But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Phil. 4: 19
