Praise God for his provision!

We are so grateful to those of you who have acted upon our need financially. A new family has joined us in our ministry and will support us monthlyWe have also had some friends send 1 time gifts during the last month. Praise God! We are going to trust that God will continue to provide and keep us here through May. We will reevaluate at that point and see how our finances are going. Thank you so much. Faith Academy is happy Sandy can continue on the project and Jake can finish his JR year at Faith!! God is good and takes care of us beyond what we can imagine:) Thank you!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is Thanksgiving today in the Philippines. We have so much to be thankful for, so be sure and give thanks to the Lord for all he has done for you!
But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of your loving kindness in the morning, For You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress. Psalm 59:17

Praise the Lord! We have had a couple join our support team! We still need four hundred dollars per month to be able to stay here in the Philippines. We will make the decision December 1 to come home, if we dont have the funds. Please continue to pray with us, that Gods will be done and he be glorified through it! That we would stay faithful and focused on him through this time.

A story about a thief at the Faith work site, from Tad (the Senior Construction Managers wife), Barb Wullaman

Tad had such an interesting experience this week at work.
The chain fence gate at the primitive construction barracks got twisted sometime back and couldn't be locked any more. There have been a couple of instances of theft and I have told Tad that it seems a shame that in a construction context there seems to be no one to repair that gate.
Then 5 days ago Chaplain Pong (the Filipino chaplain to the construction workers) discovered a man from the local squatter village scavenging GI roofing and scrap iron in the barracks area to take back to his house. He confronted him and almost resorted to violence but the man was vehement in carrying off the scrap metal to sell in order to feed his family. There was no way Pong could peaceably stop him (and the gate was still unrepaired.)
Pong reported this theft to Tad, and also reported that the thief is an electrician of sorts and repairs TV sets, etc. but has no work. Clarence Torkelson, Wycliffe Assoc. electrician was standing there and said, "Well, we need to give this man a job. God has brought him to us so we can help him." (We find Clarence so refreshing because he has such a sensitive and simple heart devoid of cynicism or negative thoughts.)
So Pong went to find him and the man worked that very day. Clarence put him on his team and paid him a daily wage to take home immediately.

Yesterday Tad came home and said, "Barbara, You know that thief we hired?"
Of course I knew all about it and just groaned..."Ok, what happened now?" (I am remembering that the gate is still not repaired.)
"Well, Chaplain Pong went down to his shack to help him fill out application papers for employment at Faith Academy."

I am waiting eagerly for the punch to see what new revelation I'm going to find out about the thief.......What new evil or trouble has happened? What has been stolen this time?

"Well," Tad said, "While Pong was helping the man fill out the employment application, he prayed to receive Christ!"

We just laughed, and laughed! How the Lord works! He takes a man bent on evil and exposes him to the Light. And then brings him into His kingdom.

And yes, the gate will be repaired (soon.) I thot you'd like that encouraging testimony! Have a good day in Jesus.

Love, BARBW
