Manila, Philippines Current Ministry: Our FACE 2 FACE Ministry vision is to connect the rich and poor to Christ and to each other, through one-on-one evangelism, compassion, and advocacy for the poor and prison inmates. GOD CALLED and WE RESPONDED! In 2001, at the ages of 53 and 49, we sold our house and "stuff" in Cleveland Ohio, kissed our kids and grand kids goodbye, and moved to the Philippines. We probably looked crazy to some people! We were far from what some would call the "typical" candidates for missions, but God recycles people that say "YES, LORD" and He equips those He calls to carry His Good News, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are a part of the FACE 2 FACE team. Relational evangelism with a focus on compassion and mercy. By meeting real needs through practical action steps, "with no strings attached," we show sincere care and God opens doors of opportunities to share His grace and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ADVOCACY: As advocates for the poor and prison inmates, our feet have followed the Lord from the province of Batangas to the mountains of Nueva Vizcaya to the business district of Makati and into the jails. Our evangelism and advocacy continues with leadership involvement in the social welfare programs of The American Association of the Philippines and Philippine-American Guardian Assoc. Both organizations assist Fil-Am children living in poverty. JAIL WORK: We minister with the ladies of the women's prison, CIW, Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong. At the national men's prison, New Billibid in Muntinlupa houses nearly 12,000 inmates in maximum security, where we base our missionary work. We disciple 9 inmate leaders through weekly Bible studies as well as develop creative strategies to evangelize the prison population through personal concern and care. With the help of God's people, F2F has been able to build a cistern (thanks Arlene, Mike and Millcreek), plant gardens, replace a burned out roof (thanks GCF) , and distribute Biblical materials in the mother tongue languages of prisoners, including non Christians. (thanks Pstr Troy, Missy and translators here) We are committed to serving forever in the Philippines, unless God tells us otherwise. We're so thankful for the support of our FACES of the Philippines partners and the " release & encouragement "of our family (John, Jen, Kris, and grands Liz & Amy) and ask you to pray for them as well, whenever you see a SMILEY FACE.
