Filipino Nehemiah Teams: Luzon

Summer 2011: Luzon team members

As we prepare and pray for upcoming Nehemiah Teams for this Summer 2015, let us not forget the work God is doing through the Filipino branch of Nehemiah Teams. This upcoming month of April is an exciting time because almost 200 young Filipino believers will follow Christ into the great unknown to share his message of love to those who do not know Him.  I have recently been encouraged by the willingness for Filipino believers to follow Christ in sharing the gospel with their own people, many times facing financial burden, leaving family and friends, and experiencing language barriers by going to areas with which they are not familiar. 

Several teams will be going to the island of Luzon to minister in various provinces including Batangas, Quezon, and Oriental Mindoro. This wide range of southern Luzon includes many people whose lives are centered around idols and superstitious beliefs. It is only the gospel of Jesus Christ that can free them from this bondage of religion! Please pray that The Lord would use these young people to bring freedom to these places.

Pray for:

* those Cebuano people who will soon be hearing the message of the gospel for the first time, that they would have open hearts ready to accept

* for those going to be able to raise financial support for living expenses in southern Luzon
* for travel safety to and from their ministry site

* for many opportunities to share and lead Bible studies while they are on the field

* these teams as they go out, that they would grow in their walk with The Lord and be bold witnesses for Christ
