Praises from the Philippines!
Thank you for your prayers and intercession and financial support for the mission to preach the gospel of Shepherds Voice Evangelism & Training, INC., in the Philippines and around the world! God has opened up the opportunity to preach the gospel at grocery distribution outreaches all around Orange County California during the week. We have hundreds of cars lined up for free groceries. At the last station we preach the gospel to them! Many are receiving the LORD. Praise the LORD! please continue to pray for the daily outreach in the community. Pray for a double portion of the Holy Spirit, guidance, provision(ministry & personal), Health and strength! Continue to pray for the Philippines, for God to open up the cities so we can go and preach the gospel! Hear is a email from Pastor Brian in Cebu City: Hi Steve!! Peace and Grace be with you always. Praying for your health and your family. I’m so thankful, the most important, to our heavenly Father. Thank you bro Steve for your passion, to help this people in need. And they are thankful to God and to you, because the kindness, we saw it on your heart. Today, Cebu City is under (MGCQ) Modified General community quarantined. And also, some people back to work right now. That’s the good news. But in the other hand, lots of people looking for a job right now, that’s the bad news. We divide into 50 family. Every family, we give 3 kilos of rice and canned foods. Even though we are in (MGCQ), still very strict. We need this quarantine pass, if I want to go to groceries store, or to go down town. Every household only one person can go out. Thank you once again bro Steve. We love you and we miss you. Pastor Brian Thank you again! your brother n Christ, Steve Coon
