Would you join me as we pray, Lord.

Thank you, Lord.

Lord, we thank you for this message this morning.

We thank you that we have pastors, Lord,

that are listening to your voice,

Lord, who are obedient to where you leave them, Lord.

You know you've prepared this message in advance, Lord.

And you knew that each one of us would be here,

whether online or in person.

And that's because you have something for us, Lord,

specifically for each and every one of us, Lord.

So would we not waste this time, Lord?

Holy Spirit, keep us in tune, keep us focused, that we would receive your word this morning. What an encouragement. Be with pastor as he continues, Lord, to do your will.

And Lord, would you bless this time of rest that He will be taking soon. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Amen. And amen and good morning and welcome. Oh, you all look

marvelous today. You can be seated. So glad you're here. Those of you online, we're so glad that you're

joining with us. Two things though before we get

started the first of which is that I would like for Steve and Hurland to come up and

share what God is doing in the Philippines you're in for a real treat and blessing

as many of you know we support them as missionaries in the Philippines

and are so privileged and blessed to have them with us again here today. So I allotted him

five minutes and he stayed under five minutes for service. I could never do that. So it's all yours. Thank you.
