It’s not Long till we head to the Philippines.
Somehow, our request for an 89-day visa was changed to a 59-day visa. So, okay, God, what are you doing here?
We rely on God for the connections he will make for us during the week-long YWAM International Conference in Manila.
We desire to encourage and equip missionaries with better communication skills, both through ministry websites and in sharing their base ministries with other YWAM schools around the world. Some of our YWAM locations are not yet known by school leaders looking for outreach possibilities.
Cambodia, Maybe?
Our time at YWAM together may well open new doors.
Our goal is to use technology to help people advance the Kingdom and the Good News.
Prayer.
- Good health as we travel.
- Guideance to lead us to the right people and locations.
- Understanding how to best help people, our own ideas might not the the right ones.
- Then, 2025, New Zealand and Samoa.

YWAM Butuan.
I helped these guys a little bit with their website, but they had a very capable young man doing the heavy lifting. Butuan is on the Island of Mindinao, just south of Surigao.
Open Source Software.
I use GIMP for Photos and kdenlive for video editing.
So, I got a request from the Cebu House of Prayer for their website, which I host with them.

Some one else created the video, I cut it for use on the front page and took out the audio.

How are you getting to where you want to go?
What may be hindering this?
Steps
Sometimes, we are weekly active in things that do not relate to our Goals or Vision.
Steps to your Goals and Pages to your Website.
Prayer
Finding out the needs of others.
It is about the conversation.
It is about growing in wisdom.

It is about friendship.
Your Vision will encourage friends far better than your needs.
Towards Provision
Keep cultivating friendships.

More than Websites
During my time here working at the University of the Nations I kept noticing all the young married couples here from all different countries serving the Lord.
When they were expecting a new baby they had no close family near by to encourage them. I felt the Lord say to me, “Make them a baby quilt.” So I have been doing this ministry over the 7 years that we have been here.
It delights me to give a home made gift to the couple welcoming their new baby. This gift brings us closer to each family. The materials come from different sources.
God shows me every time who the quilts will be gifted to. It’s fun to see how God makes the connections.
Some Work in Progress.
YWAM Samoa.
We seem to have an affiliation with Samoa.
There is even a good chance that we will visit them next year. https://ywamsamoa.org
