PHILIPPINES, FALL 2013, MISSION REPORT
BILL AND VAIL-MISSIONARIES, CHRISTIAN LOVE GIFTS, HOME CHURCH, CALVARY NEXUS, CAMARILLO
Bill and Vail have responded to a calling from the Lord to humbly serve His Kingdom in accordance with the Great Commission of Christ, Matthew 28:18-20, in the Philippines. The Holy Spirit has led us to unite with two spiritual leadership partners in the Philippines: Pastors Solomon and Elizabeth Ventura, True Vine Christian Fellowship ; and Ruel and Toni Barte, City of David. These pastoral teams have planted born again churches that teach the Word of the Lord and are open to the work of the Holy Spirit.
PASTORS SOLOMON AND ELIZABETH VENTURA
With the blessing and support of the Lord on eight mission trips, our combined ministries have conducted medical missions for approximately 16,300 poor individuals. Our ministry partners coordinate each medical mission site and
PASTORS RUEL AND TONI BARTRE
recruit volunteer doctors, nurses and spiritual counselors. We raise funds to buy medicines through our religious nonprofit charity Christian Love Gifts, http://www.christianlovegifts.net/. We have been blessed to witness approximately 7,875 souls accepting Christ at these medical missions. We have also raised funds to support the schooling of many Bible students and orphans. While in the Philippines, we visit many churches, teach the Word and bring the love of Christ to many poor children in a variety of ways. This fall, we conducted the 2013 Philippine Medical Mission from 10/25 to 11/10 and shipped ten boxes of donated clothes, toiletries, food, and other supplies to our Philippine Sisters and Brothers. We will be traveling to the Philippines next fall for our 2014 Philippine Medical Mission.
