Good Things the Lord is Doing

Flint Miller , Missionary , Philippines  

Greetings to all our friends and partners in the States…and around the world!

The Miller family is rejoicing over all the good things the Lord is doing here in Baguio City, Philippines! We are midway through our second term of the academic year and we have over 150 students enrolled. Many of those are from other countries in Asia. It is exciting to be living in an international community here on the seminary campus. Flint is busy teaching two classes and administrating the ABGTS graduate school. He is mentoring and supervising graduate students in their dissertation writing as well. He has preached about twice a month. Debbie is teaching one counseling class and leading a bible study for the student wives. In addition, she is leading a Bible study/prayer time at the Brent International School (Ben and Chris' school) for the parents weekly. This weekly event has already been fruitful as prayers have been answered and many are interested who come out of a Catholic background.

Ben and Chris are doing well in school academically and involved in leadership positions. They are in training now for basketball season. They still pray all the time for a youth ministry and American friends. Ben is the only American in high school at Brent. Please pray with us for these requests.

There are many more prayer needs! Maybe later! Also, we have had many computer and internet problems which is such a frustration and time demanding. Also, my purse was stolen a week ago at a mall here inside a cafe. It had EVERYTHING in it including my State Cell phone and important id's and State drivers license as well as Philippine license.

Many thanks for all you do there to hold the ropes for us as missionaries! What a difference it makes and how mysteriously God WORKS!!! He is so faithful!

Please prayerfully consider giving generously to the World Mission Offering to support our work in the Philippines. Many thanks for your support reaching half way around the world to "Train Asians to Reach Asia."

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
