MISSIONS PHILIPPINES (The Dacuyan’s)

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."   Isaiah 9:6

We are praying and hoping this letter finds you well.

By God’s grace, blessing, and mercy, we are doing well. Honestly, it has been a tough year for us, especially with regards in finances and all the things that’s going on here in the mission field. 

Though lots of problem, persecution, difficulty, and hardship arises, the more we see God moves and His grace abounds even more. 

We will be having our Annual Church Christmas Celebration on the 18th, and right after that I will be traveling together with two of our young people at the church for about 9hours to preach at a 4days Youth Camp in Capas, Tarlac on the 19th. Please do pray for me and for those that will attend the said event that there may be souls saved and saints encouraged and challenged.

The ministry here in the remote Island of Marinduque is thriving and we’ve seen growth both in faith and in number.

Due to the growing number, the Church moved from our apartment to a rented commercial space in the downtown area of Santa Cruz, Marinduque. This is where we temporarily gather for worship services, while we’re waiting and praying for God’s provision for our church building at Buyabod. 

We are also blessed to have youths that have the heart for God and the ministry. We have trained several youths at the church, and are now actively involved and used by God in the ministry. 

This January, we’re praying and planning to plant a new mission work near the foot of a mountain in a remote village called Magapua. It’s a 45minutes drive from our place and a good few minutes of walking to reach the area. It is our prayer to be used by God to witness and proclaim the Gospel and minister to those people. 

There will be also another 2 new Lad Ministry Center that were going to be establish this January at Uptown & Magapua.

From the very start and up ‘til now, it is our heart’s desire to win the people of Santa Cruz for our Lord Jesus Christ, and that they may know Him!

As we end this year 2022, we are so grateful to God for what He’s done, and we are looking forward on what God has in store for us and the ministry on the upcoming year 2023.

We also want to greet you all a merry and blessed Christmas and a new year filled with blessings from God!

We love you all and we’re fervently praying. God bless!

Prayer Request:

1. God’s provision for a church building at Buyabod next year. We’re praying for $40,000 for it’s completion. We are envisioning this (when finished) to be the largest Bible-believing and Christ-centered Church in the island of Marinduque. It will stand as a monument and a great testimony of how good and great the God we serve. As it stand, it’s vision and mission will remain the same — Soul Winning, Church Planting & Training the Nationals; all for the glory of God!

2. New Mission Work that would be planted at Magapua.

3. 2 new Lad Ministry center to be established at Uptown & Magapua.

4. The ministry that God has entrusted us here in the remote Island of Marinduque (growth and more souls to be saved and won for Jesus).
