News from Doyle and Linda Moore
on the Mission Field in The Philippines:

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers for the past several months. We have  been at an increasing pace trying to keep up with all the Lord has for us to do!  I do believe the Lord's coming is near, because of all the doors that are  opening throughout Asia. Please pray that these doors will stay open awhile  longer, and that He will call (and they will answer) more laborers for the bountiful harvest.

We have a young man with us from Cambodia. He is a sweet person, and not a minute’s trouble. He came here to be baptized and to study for a few weeks  with Doyle and some of the pastors here, in order to know more about how to do missions work. He received a text from home the other day wherein they were  asking him to hurry home and tell them about this God. Please pray for him that  he will continue to grow in knowledge about the Word of God and that he can lead his people to know our God.

I think the thing that has impressed him the most about the Philippines  is the traffic. Of course, when you come from a place where a motorcycle and two  goats constitutes heavy traffic, you would be. He really likes our streets. The streets in his town are very spacious and wide. I would think at least 4 lanes with room to park on the side. The only problem is that they are red clay dirt. No pavement at all. During the dry season (the area has two seasons, wet and dry), there is about 4 inches of very find clay powder laying on top of it, and  each time a vehicle of any sort goes past, it is stirred up, and drifts into homes, lungs, eyes, ears, noses, etc. Taking a bath at night gets the day’s grime off you, but then you have to take another one in the morning to get the  night’s layer off. Truly, when I got up each morning and wiped my face, there  was a red-clay powder on the wash-cloth. During rainy season, that becomes about  10 inches of red-clay mud! Travel is very limited during rainy  season.

I said that to say this. We have a couple from our area who are called to  go to Cambodia to work. They will be teaching English through using Bible Stories and the Bible, and teaching computer, and doing whatever they can to help the folks in the area to better  themselves economically, which will also allow them to help them better themselves spiritually.

Remember that missionaries are not permitted into these areas. They  have to have a reason for being there. Doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, are  all permitted. The Lord teaches us to be wise and crafty to be able to take the  gospel unto the uttermost.

Please pray for this family. The wife and children all have various  degrees of asthma. They have found a house a little off the beaten path for  their home, so maybe it won’t be as difficult for them as it would lower down. But, the Lord will have to lay His hand upon them to keep them well.

Also, please remember that they will be in a foreign country, far away from home and family (and they are close to their extended family). So pray for them on that level as well. Pray that the Lord will provide all their needs. He  knows what they will need much better than I do.

Also, please pray for the young man from Cambodia. He is a very sweet, intelligent, humble young man, and his friends and family are all  eagerly awaiting his return so that he can tell them about this God that the  foreigners worship, that can bring in a cargo-truck full of aid for them, and  bring in medical doctors and nurses that will see them at no cost, and give them medicine, and help them for no charge; and all these foreigners want to do is tell them about a God of love and kindness. Imagine that! They want to know Him, too.

In their little villages and along their roads, you pass trees with  spirit houses built in them. They are about the size of a large bird-house,  open, with doors and windows open (no glass). They go there to make offerings,  bring flowers, and pray to their spirits and ancestors. These people KNOW there  is a god, they just don’t know what He did for them!

Please pray that He will prepare the way for this young man and the  couple from the Philippines. I hesitate to use their name, because it might endanger them, should this information come to the  attention of the authorities there. Please pray for the Hand of God to be over  them, protecting and leading them in all ways.

In Him,

Linda & Doyle Moore
