SPORTS

Beloved, this month there was an annual sporting event for elementary and high school athletes. 23 different municipalities across the province came to compete at the Provincial Meet in many different sporting events.

Our Refuge House Team was very blessed and excited to go to the sporting events and share Jesus, distribute Gospel tracts and crosses to all the students from the many municipalities and to all the many adult spectators that were there also. Our Refuge House Team was so thankful to be able to share with everyone there. They were so thankful that everyone was so receptive to receiving the tracts and crosses. Teachers, student athletes, parents, bystanders, and tricycle drivers all received the tracts and crosses. Everyone was very excited and thankful for receiving the tracts and cross. Most of them were telling our Refuge House Team that they have received a wonderful memory and valuable souvenir that they could take home.

SCHOOLS GOSPEL OUTREACH, DISCIPLESHIP AND FEEDING

Beloved, this month we added two more schools for Gospel outreach, discipleship and feeding. The teachers and parents were so very thankful for the blessing of their children to hear and learn the ways of Jesus Christ and have a delicious meal of the Manna Pack with all the vitamins and minerals the children need. The teachers and parents at our other schools are very thankful for the continued discipleship and feeding they received at their schools. Our Refuge House Team is so very thankful for the wonderful opportunity to continue serving the children through discipleship and feeding of manna pack rice. They are so thankful to continue seeing the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ through discipleship and feeding ministry.

FLOODING

Beloved, this month Palawan experienced heavy rain and flooding for a whole week. Puerto Princesa City, Aborlan and Narra had the worst flooding. Our Refuge House had water standing but not the flooding that was all around it. We actually became an island as water flooded all around the Refuge House. Lots of families were evacuated near the Refuge House and in our Barrio. The Barangay council and volunteers worked to evacuate many families.

I Am Born Again Ministries Refuge House Team with others gathered to pray for safety as the flood waters started coming into the Barrio. As families started being brought to the evacuation area, our Refuge House Team was cooking Manna Pack to feed all the families evacuated. Ezekiel was in charge of organizing the cooking and feeding of the evacuees and helping with rescuing the families from the flood.

Ezekiel

As you know, Ezekiel is graduating this year from regular college in Criminology. He then will have one year of service in different branches of service, along with having to go to Manila to pass exams there. The internships are with the Local Governor Unit Rescue, Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management, and Penology, and Second Platoon of Philippine National Police.

Please be in prayer for provisions for everything he will need to complete all of this and trip expenses. Thank You! (I will send a copy of the letter from Ezekiel he sent me soon)

Refuge House Team

Our Refuge House Team also went to families who were not evacuated and gave them food to eat. Lots of the livestock, cows, carabaos, goats, pigs were drowned in the flood. The rice fields were destroyed by the flood water and vegetable and corn crops were also destroyed. No emergency food for several days had come from the government.

We were blessed and so thankful that our Precious Lord Jesus had provided us food to be able to help feed everyone in the barrio. God our Loving Father is so faithful and good! We had just received our shipment of Manna Pack for feeding the malnourished kids and we were able to use it to keep everyone fed!! Praise Jesus!! We are very thankful to our Loving Heavenly Father for the safety of everyone. (Will send Video when we get it)

Also this month, our Refuge House Team had a Gospel & feeding outreach at Aramaywan Narra Palawan. Our Refuge House Team taught praise songs, praise dances for our Lord Jesus, shared the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They also did a drama of Daniel in the Lion’s den. I Loved the Lions!!! So Funny!! (Video Below)

Pastor Jonathan Galas is the Pioneering Pastor in this place and most of his members are of the Palawan Tribe. There were around 80 in attendance and we also distributed hair brushes, clothes, etc. Afterwards we fed the Manna Pack that has all the vitamins and minerals. The children need to grow strong and healthy. Many surrendered and believed that Jesus is the Savior!! Praise Jesus, to God be the Glory!!

Prayer Request

We will have to order more Manna Pack for feeding. It will cost about $600.00. Please pray for everyone affected by the flood - not only here but in North Carolina and Kentucky also!

Please be in prayer for provisions! Thank You and God Bless You!!
ALL GLORY TO GOD OUR LOVING FATHER!!!

TRIBAL OUTREACH

Beloved, our I.A.B.A.M. Refuge House Team had a Gospel & Feeding outreach at a Palawan tribe in Natutongan Quezon Palawan. It is in the southern part of Palawan on the China Sea side. They arrived the day before and went around the area inviting the tribal people around the area to come the next day. The Refuge House Team slept in the church that night.

It took our Refuge House Team 3 1/2 hours to reach this area. Unfortunately on the way our 4 wheel drive quit working when they were going through a very rough place. Praise Jesus with everyone pushing and with some help from some good Samaritans, they made it out of the bad spot and were able to continue in 2 wheel drive.

Pastor Fernando Cardiño is pastoring in this tribe. He had heard about us from other pastors and asked for us to come do a Gospel outreach in the tribe. There were over 70 adults and over 170 children that came from the surrounding area.

Our I.A.B.A.M. Refuge House Team taught praise songs, praise dance, did a skit on the Good Samaritan in Luke chapter 10, taught Bible lessons and shared the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Praise Jesus, many surrendered and were drawn to Jesus for salvation! Glory To God!!

Afterwards they gave hair brushes, clothes, candy and toys! The tribal people were so thankful and surprised!! Later our Refuge House Team prepared the Manna Pack with all the vitamins and minerals the children need. The tribal people loved it. Again, they were so very thankful! Beloved, the Manna Pack with all the vitamins and minerals these kids need is excellent for the malnourished kids. We are helping Pastor Fernando with starting a feeding for the children with the Manna Pack.

By the grace of God and His power, we continue to expand the Discipleship and Feeding to more places! Glory to God!! We are so very thankful for God our loving Father’s provision!!!

YOUTH GATHERING

Beloved, as school was soon to start after the Christmas - New Year Break, we had a Youth Gathering Fellowship and Prayer. After the teaching and prayer the youth had fun playing some games. It was only a small group as lots of youth had not returned from visiting family in the mountains.

JACKIELOU

Beloved, our Lord continues helping Jackielou! The manager of the hotel has given her more responsibility and is very thankful for Jackielou! She is doing a great job and being a tremendous witness for Jesus!! Thank You Jesus!

PRAYER REQUESTS

Beloved - Chris Bryan one of our youth at Refuge House is in the 11th grade in high school. He is going to take a welding class in Puerto Princessa. The cost of this class is about $100.00.
We also have to pay our Building and Land Tax for this year It is about $100.00.
It is also time to buy Tag and Registration for the Kia Truck for about $120.00.
We are waiting for an estimate on how much it will cost to fix the 4 wheel drive.

Please be in prayer for provisions!

A NEW YEAR

Everyone at I Am Born Again Ministries hopes you had a wonderful blessed Jesus’ Birthday with family and friends. Now as we enter into this new year, we pray that this year will be a blessed, healthy prosperous new year for you.

DECEMBER

December was an exciting and very busy month. Our Refuge House Church Thanksgiving (Homecoming) Celebration was a great time of praising our loving Father God! Thanking Him for our precious Lord Jesus Christ and wonderful Holy Spirit!

It was a powerful time of praise & worship, prayer, teaching and ministry. Lots of wonderful fellowship and a great time of eating together! Everyone brought a little something, and we bought a hog and sack of rice and other food for the celebration.

We also had an all-day Children’s Jesus Celebration. They had a great time praising Jesus, being taught more in the Bible. They had lots of fun activity, and the slide we sent was a huge surprise for them! They had never seen anything like it! They had so much fun with it even though they forgot to put water in it!

Later they had fried chicken, spaghetti and mother Virgie got them ice cream.

JACKIELOU

Also in December the great blessing for Jackielou to have a wonderful job of Event Coordinator at Princesa Garden Island Resort and Spa in Puerto Princessa Palawan.

We are so thankful for the teachers of Jackielou. When they heard she had been offered a job to start the week of Jesus's Birthday they agreed to give her final exam early so she could start work. She started work on Dec 23.

Personally, I am not surprised at this because I know the dedication that teachers have in the Philippines to teach the children. Lots of them go into the mountains and live in areas that are rough to say the least because of the love they have to teach the kids. They truly want them to succeed. God bless them all.

Jackielou just cried tears of joy when they surprised her with the Honda 125 Motorcycle for her graduation present! She was so humbled, thankful for everyone’s love for her!!

While making the video to say thank you, they had to stop and start because she was so overwhelmed with thankfulness she could not hold back tears!

LOOKING FORWARD

As we start this New Year we want you to know how much we are thankful to God our loving Father and praise Jesus for all you do to build His Kingdom. We know that Holy Spirit has touched your heart to be partakers of the abundant fruit of souls saved and abundant treasures stored in Heaven!

ALL GLORY TO GOD OUR LOVING FATHER!!!

Thank you & God bless you --
for being a part of the Refuge House Family!
