This is David's brother Stephen and his family-Ginger, Rebekah, Abigail, Luke and Jonathan. They serve with New Tribes Mission in the Philippines. There is a link to their website on the side bar. They and their partners, the Zimmerman's, will be beginning their teaching of creation thru Christ on Monday. This will be the first time the Agutaynen people will hear the Good News!
Here is the email we just received from Stephen asking for prayer in the next weeks.
Dear Friends and Family,
Greetings! We want to thank you all for your continued prayers for our team and for us personally. Teaching among the Agutaynens will begin in four days, on June 8th. We are very excited. However, I would be a liar if I said I wasn't a little scared. But this is a good thing. It shows us once again that our trust needs to be in Him alone.
We want to give you a little detail concerning what will happen Monday night so you can be praying more specifically. We are telling everyone that the meeting will begin at 6:30pm (that is Monday 6:30 am in Michigan and 3:30 am in Oregon). However, it will probably start at 7. Manfred will start by giving a very brief greeting and then he will send me into the den of lions. In other words, Manfred has asked me to do the teaching regarding the Bible. So, I will spend about 10 minutes, sharing that the Bible is God's Word and that God has revealed His beautiful plan for the Agutaynens in it. After this time, Manfred will then share concerning "Who God is?" and the "Creation Story". Manfred has also asked me to read the Bible passages whenever there is one during his time. So, I will also be reading much of Genesis 1 and 2.
We are very excited, that the Agutaynens will finally hear the truth. We are excited that we won't be just sitting on the sideline. We consider it a privilege that God will be using us for His honor and glory. As you may know, Manfred has wonderful gifts and abilities that God has given him. We feel blessed that Manfred and Nadine see us as a team and that he is giving some teaching responsibilities to me. So, once again, we ask you to be praying with us.
Thank you.
Stephen
