Dear Faithful Friends of the Ministry,

Psalm 41:1-3 are God's wonderful promises to us and we quote:

"Blessed is he who is kind to the poor, the Lord delivers him in times of trouble...

The Lord will protect him and preserve his life....The Lord will sustain him in his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness."

These Scriptures have been our source of strength and hope during the time that Cora and I had the covid. By the grace and mercy of God, He healed and restored us as He promised.  We got the virus in the second week of January. We did self-quarantine  for one week. Praise God we are now well. We know that our Lord healed us so we can continue to accomplish our mission for Him, that is, sharing His love to the lost and needy souls around us.

The Aeta Children's Home continue to fulfill its mission of feeding the Aeta children. There are two places now where our ACH staff are feeding the children. Here at the ministry compound, and the other one is in the villages. Our staff has also given Christmas gifts to the children in December. The Aeta children are healthy and happy. The parents and the siblings of the children were also included in the feeding program. They also received bags of rice and groceries regularly so they can cook foods for their kids in their homes.

The Christian Academy continue to fulfill its mission of providing free Christian education to the Aeta children and youth. There are 2 areas where our teachers go and teach the kids. One is here at the main campus, and the other one is in the villages. Education is the key for the improvement of the Aetas. We covet your continued prayers and support to this vital ministry for the children.

Our pastors continue to go and share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus at the Aeta villages and other communities. Soul winning and church planting are still their foremost mission. Through your prayers and support, we have given bonuses and Christmas gifts to the pastors, teachers and staff in December. However, many pastors got sick with covid in January. Praise God that they have mild symptoms. Some of them have recovered and some are still in quarantine. There is a surge of covid cases here in January. Please continue praying for the healing of God's servants in the frontlines.

Pictures below are the children reading their Bible, praying and having Bible studies in the villages. Their spiritual development is our foremost mission, that they will grow up to be Bible believing and God fearing citizens of their communities, wonderful testimony of God's power to transform lives.

The Lord's message to us this 2022 is His imminent return. Our Lord Jesus is coming soon and the signs of His coming are seen all around. His instruction to us is in Luke 19:13 - OCCUPY TILL HE COMES!

Our earnest prayer is the same with the prayer of John in Revelation 22:20. "COME LORD JESUS COME!"

Occupying till He comes,

Wilson and Cora
