Dear
Friends:
The annual meeting of the
Board of Trustees of Asian Baptist Clearinghouse was held on
February 11, 2008 in the conference room of Bethany Baptist
Church, Makati City, Philippines. One of the items of
business was adding 3 more members to the Board. There are
now 5 Filipino pastors and 3 American missionaries who
compose the board. Philippine law requires our Board to be
at least 60% Filipino and no more than 40% foreign. We are
within that range.
The most exciting part of the meeting was interviewing and
accepting 5 new family units for the mission field. These
five include 4 couples and one single lady. Amazingly the
single lady is 61 years old and going to a RAN country. The
board members sat enthralled by her salvation testimony, her
call to the field, her knowledge of the difficulties ahead
and her determination to go, learn the language and minister
to women and children. The board accepted her 100%. She will
work with a couple on that field.
Asian Baptist Clearinghouse now services 103 families
composed of 82 couples and 21 singles. There are 18 single
ladies and 3 single men. These fine missionaries are serving
on 33 different fields of the world. Every year since ABC
was founded the number of missionaries has increased and the
total funds processed has grown. Other groups are asking us
the reason for the growth. That’s a no brainer. The only
reason is GOD! To Him be the glory!
Once again we are indebted to you for your intercessory
prayers and financial support.
Together
in His harvest;
