Dear
Friends:
Dr. Felicidad Felicilda and
his wife Rhory are now in the Congo. They are assisting
Elmer Deal in his tremendous ministry there. They are
studying French and Swahili. He preaches in different
Baptist churches, holds discipleship classes in 2 churches,
oversees the translation of Bible College material prepared
by Missionary Mel Brown, and is planning to revive a Bible
College soon. His wife teaches English in 2 churches and
they both are active in witnessing for Christ. He recently
baptized 7 new converts.
Prices are very high in the Congo. Rent runs from $1000 to
$3000 a month, a can of sardines costs $1.00, a print
cartridge is $40, and their internet connection is $170 a
month. The Congo has almost no postal service. The
Felicilda’s gave up a prosperous medical practice to serve
the Lord in the Congo and their support is low. Please pray
for them.
Mike and Sandie Reap are BBFI missionaries in the
Philippines and on a short furlough now. In a missions
conference in California they met Lyle Yarnell missionary to
Zambia. Lyle asked Mike if he knew a “Mario” in Zambia. Mike
said, “Yes I know Mario Genada.a Filipino missionary using
Asian Baptist Clearinghouse.” Lyle said Mario had a building
seating 300 and filled it up every Sunday. Bro. Genada also
has several missions, a Bible College training preachers,
and is reaching into rural areas with the gospel.
Here are two examples of the work being done by the
missionaries using Asian Baptist Clearinghouse. Please pray
for these missionaries and for ABC as we assist these men
and women in preparing for and getting to the field. Your
partnership with us is also a partnership with ABC. Thank
you for holding the ropes.
Together
in His harvest;
