Last December 4, 2012, the Compostela Valley Province was hit by typhoon Bohpa. It was the first and deadliest typhoon to ever hit in Comval Province. Thousands of lives and properties were lost. But most tragic was the loss of faith and hope. Within two months of the typhoon we were able to encourage and share the hope of life that can only be found in our Lord Jesus Christ in very real ways.
In February I taught a Children’s Ministry training for 7 students in that province so that they could continue to share the hope of Jesus with children that lost everything.
I have been blessed to be able to preach in one of the churches that has grown as a result of typhoon Bohpa. Following this tragedy people have opened their hearts to Jesus, realizing that only He can give them hope and a future. I was able to share God’s words as a testimony of his love. Following service we were able to distribute more than 100 Bibles to people that had lost everything. I’d like to thank Pastor Terry Williams and funds received from Light for the Lost for putting hope in the hands of so many.
They were so glad to have received God’s life giving words. One child said, “My Bible was damaged by the typhoon and I am thankful that I now own a Bible.” The Bibles brought smiles as you saw the hunger in their hearts for the Word of God. Its not enough for the whole community but we are praying more bibles will come.
Continue to pray for this community as they recover from this disaster. If you would like to be a blessing to these families and help bring hope contact Missionary Terry Williams.

May we show how God cares and provides for His children through the generosity of others.

One day my friend Nilson approached me and asked for prayer for his situation. His wife left him with three children, all boys. The youngest is two years old and the oldest is 6 years old. He can’tmove properly because of arthritis and gout. His right eye is already blind and his left is starting to blurry. He owns a very small store but few items to sell.
After one day of preparing it, it was time to deliver the product to Nison’s place and pack the charcoal into small pieces.
This is the fish soup that my wife prepared. We prayed together before we ate and had a wonderful time. We talked about life and how Jesus provides our needs beyond our imagination. 
After that we left.They were very happy and thankful to Our Lord Jesus Christ, not for the food but the love and care that we shared with them, showing that there are people who are sent by God to help them and encourage them to continue to live in Christ. We shared
