Coping from Jetlag and Time zone Change
After a week of being back home, Jen and I, are just now feeling adjusted to our new time zone and sleep patterns. Jetlag was hard...my poor brain would not function at 4pm but made us both wide awake at 2am! It was great joy to see all our believing friends and to learn that they growing in the Lord, without us. It is wonderful to see our 200 plus “Tribe” (group) members walking with the Lord. I am not saying they need us - I am saying very glad to see them walk in the Holy Spirit and face many problems and trials while we were gone, and grew through them. That is encouraging and joy!!!

Doubt no more...
So many people commented on our newsletter! Jen said to me, “See many people are reading this letter”. Sorry I had my doubts. It is funny when you send out 250 newsletters a month or sell 500 copies of a book, I wonder if people really read this? What do they think? Are they encouraged? Sorry but that is how I was thinking. However, many of you told us, yes you are reading and yes you enjoy this letter and even share it with other people. :) Thank you. I am sorry I doubted you. :)Those who would like to buy my book from Amazon, just click:
Becoming the Image of Jesus (by Dan Mohler)
Dan Mohler | Becoming The Image of Jesus
This is a You Tube video of a man named Dan Mohler and the title on You Tube is: Becoming the Image of Jesus. Why am I telling you this or giving it to you? This teaching or preaching is the summation of who we are in this world and why God created us. Dan also tells us why we are Christians and why we go to church. I always think I do not need to reinvent the wheel, so Dan gives me and you a clear presentation of the Gospel and why we are on the earth. I hope you watch this man and hear the voice of our Lord thru him.
Our US Vacation...
Jen and I are so thankful for all the people who allowed us to stay in their homes and treated us like a Queen and King. I had lost 8lbs to attend Matt and Katrina's wedding but gained 10lbs from all the wonderful food we were treated to. So, here are just a few things we can say, “Thank You to the Lord and to you”. Jen received her 10-year visa; We made it thru Chicago airport immigration; We had safe travels on all the roads we drove; We saw many miracles and people touched by the hand of our Lord; We made new friends and Jen was able to meet all of my family, Brothers, Sisters, Mom, Dad, my three sons. and many, many wonderful friends.
It would be hard to tell you all the things that happened in 7 weeks, but the most I was thankful for is Jen was able to meet my family and see the America I love. Jen has a new perspective on America where I lived and how I grew up. What was the down side? Well Jen started treating me like a "knucklehead" like the rest of my family...LOL I thought Oh no I need to get Jen back to the Philippines quickly! In honesty it was like a seven-week honeymoon where Jen and I reconnected and drew closer to our Lord in ministry and each other as we experienced America and its wonderful people together.
Growing the kingdom of God in our lives, home, neighborhood, and City.
To be loving light to all we come into contact with, to bare the fruit of the Kingdom in our lives, and to speak the truth of God's word in love.
