Pastor and Leadership Development

Philippines 2007 Short-Term Mission Tour

Please PRAY as we GO

 

      Since 1989, we have been leading sports missionary teams to various countries for the purpose of assisting national pastors and ministry leaders begin, support, or develop Sports & Church-Planting Ministries.  Today, the work we helped establish is showing much fruit.  Many pastors have been asked by their country’s governing sports bodies and schools to take positions of leadership and, thereby, have become “salt and light” for our Lord Jesus.

 

      It has been a wonderful privilege to partner with Pastor Bravo, Pastor Mandaguit and Pastor Aguilar, our CTM National Missionaries in the Philippines, and the dedicated men and women of God within their country. Literally thousands of people have come to Christ since we made our first missions trip in 1989.  We are now preparing for the 2007 Philippines Short-Term Mission Tour.

 

This June 6 – 25, along with our ministry to athletes, LouAnn Lee, a singer/songwriter, will minister in large praise concerts.  We will also conduct several Pastors’ Enhancement Training Conferences for over 200 Filipino church planters from the mountain regions of Negros and surrounding islands.  Pray for Gary Quinlan, CTM Director of Pastor & Leader Development, as he prepares material for these conferences.

 

     One of our most urgent needs is to obtain the extra funding required for us to go. We have 10-15 people going on the tour, most of whom are college or high school students who will share their lives and experiences to encourage hundreds of Filipino National Pastors, as well as minister in schools, orphanages, and sports clinics.

 

Yes - You can help us Go…

 

      The cost is $1,995 per mission team member.  Would you please pray with us concerning this need, as well as consider investing an extra $35 or more each month for the next three months (or a single one-time extra gift of $100 this month)? 

                                          

      Your encouragement through prayer and finances will help us to equip Filipino ministry workers in effective church planting; to train athletes, coaches, and ministers for sports and recreation evangelism; as well as to help us introduce many people in the Philippines to Christ.

 

          With your financial investment and faithful prayer, you, also, may enter this unique partnership with our national CTM pastors. Thank you so much for your help and encouragement as we prepare for our next short-term missionary tour.  Please respond quickly because we will need to book and pay for our team’s airline tickets soon.

 

May God bless you abundantly!
