…and it begins.

We mentioned in our most recent Newsletter that we needed all of you to pray for this country.  Under a normal presidential election year, there is considerable violence… this election cycle we knew would see more bloodshed simply because the term limited presidential post is opening up a power vacuum that every faction under the sun wants to fill.

Today, sadly and tragically… this.

Cebu is undergoing a power vacuum as well… the current mayor is facing his term limit… and not only is there an on-going, extremely juvenile animosity between the mayor and the governor already, but the mayor has publicly rebuked and humiliated the vice-mayor, which means that any chance of continuity is pretty much gone. So now both the mayor and governor are bringing in family members to fill the vacancy.  It’s already a mess and looks to get messier as the months roll on.

We hope you will remember us and this country in your prayers before God.  And we can’t thank those of you who have continued to pray for us enough for graciously bringing us before our Lord…

On a brighter note, tomorrow we’ll have pictures of the past couple of weeks and we’ll tell you all about our great Sunday meeting… in spite of the terrible violence, our Lord is moving! PRAISE BE TO CHRIST JESUS!
