New Year Update

Hi Everyone,

We are sorry for the long silence. After the TDTS graduation and reunion on December 17, the students and staff went on holiday and joined their families for Christmas Celebration and New Year festivities.

The staff returned back to Bontoc and buckled down to work on the second week of January. We started the year by evaluating what we had accomplished last year. We thank God that we were able to post a 98% accomplishment of the planned ministry activities in 2007 even as we have overshot our targets for the year. This week we finalized our action plan for the year 2008.

We thank God for 2007:

1. For allowing us to accomplish almost everything we planned last year.
- outreaches, youth camp, village church seminars & DVBS, discipleship trainings, etc...
2. For love, care and good relationship between and among the YWAM Mt. Province team. For allowing grace to take the better of us during difficult and/or crisis situations; and for sustaining us spiritually.
3. For good health and for providing our material and financial needs as we walked by faith.
4. For allowing and providing finances for the TDTS team to go to Sabah, Malaysia for outreach (through the CDTS Salem leadership & Norma). God bless your hearts!
5. For providing the material needs of the Student Sponsorship Ministry like bed cushions, beddings, kitchen gas stove, chairs, clothings and for additional sponsorship for 5 students.
6. For bringing teams to Bontoc base that provided much help through prayers, encouragement and ministry to the villages and ministry areas.
7. And for everything that was allowed to happen that made us more intimate and dependent to Him in all aspects of our lives.

For all of this to God be the glory! More next posting....
