2 more families

A new week has begun.

Have you wondered what each of us have learnt through out our experience in Philippines? or what was it like before we went for the trip, and what is it like now? How has it impacted or changed our lives? Well, there would be more of that in the coming week. So make sure you visit our blog again next week to find out more about how our lives have changed, and also to continuously tune in to the prayer requests of the people in Philippines.

As for this week, let us take this wonderful week to pray for another two more families that we have met in Tay Tay.

This is Merlita's family.
<-- in the picture: Ariel (husband),
Merlita (wife) and daughter.
Aside Merlita and her husband, Ariel, they have 5 children. 3 boys and 2 girls.
Let's pray for,
- Ariel as he is an electrician in a well known hospital and is usually not home as he needs to work over time. Pray for protection as it is a dangerous job, as well as strength to work.
- Protection, health and studies of their children.
- Spiritual Life
- Children to be active in church.
- Also, their family is planning to move to Laguna. May they be a shining light to the people there.

This is Rebecca(Vicky) Dolon's family.

Vicky, Lyka, Owen: in this picture -->

This family consists of 5 people. Vicky, her husband, Jose, Angelito the oldest son, Lyka and Owen. However, her husband left their family, and Angelito is jobless and on drugs. Vicky was working in a garment factory for 4 years until it got bankrupt and closed down. Currently, she is helping people wash their clothes. However, she has been falling ill, having flu and aches making her unable to work. As such, no one in the family is working. Lyka, is trying her best to help her mother out. The space you see in the picture, that is all to their house. It is that small.
Let us pray,
- that God will continue to watch over this family, and continue to provide for them.
- that Vicky's husband, Jose, will come to realise that he has a responsibility to care for his family
and will come back some day.
- Vicky will have good health that she may be able to work.
- and Lyka's prayer request is that she will be able to finish her studies, and someday give her
family a good life.

We may not be able to be there with them to provide for these families, or to help them lead a better life, but, we can still pray for them.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
