NEWS: Arrivals and Departures and an Item of Prayer


- Sam Zipp and Heather Tuggy are back and will be joining us, the Lord willing, next Thursday (Aug. 16th). Like I said, Sam will be bringing specialities from her home town/state for us to sample on. Pray for her and Heather as the school year starts at Faith Academy.


- Pastor Ro will be leaving for the US in a couple of weeks to spend some time with his family. When he returns to Manila, he assumes the post of Youth Director of the Union Church of Manila in Legaspi Village, Makati City. He promised to come and join us at iYACIES and teach once in a while. Pray for him. He has been a constant source of blessing for us.


- I (PJon) have an item of prayer. The people and leaders of the Covenant Presbyterian Church in West Lafayette, Indiana (the church where two of the Overtones singing group belong) have expressed their interest in inviting me to be their interim Worship Pastor. The invitation came as a surprise when I received an email from the mother of two of the Overtones members asking me to consider taking the post. Covenant Church has already written a formal request to our Senior Pastor and Executive Pastor to give me "on loan for a season" (God knows how long that "season" will be). Thanks in advance for the prayers!

See you Sunday!

As much as the departures make me sad, I know that you are taking a step of faith. Oh I remember the Abraham lesson... :)

God clearly shows us how He positions people inaccordance to His' will for us. I pray that everyone in iyacies will be able to serve our Lord when the time comes and we are called upon duty to further glorify Him.

when i thought i've mastered the "art of letting go" (with people coming and going) well... at the end of it! i'm still wrong with that assumption. and yes it is just so sad when someone leaves... but then we can't hold them back just because it's making us sad! i'll be on praying for p.jon and p.ro... and hello to our dearest american fellow! welcome back to the philippines! can't wait to see you again this thursday! godbless us all... =)
