I am thankful for the privilege of serving as one of His ambassadors in this world! I am thankful for the faithful team of missionaries with whom I get to work everyday! And, I am thankful for each one of YOU who partner with us through your prayers and support! Here are some prayer and praise requests for the month of November. We thank you in advance for sharing them with your local church and for including them in your personal prayers.

HELP BUILD A NEW CHAPEL 2025

PHILIPPINES

Hello, Friends!

One of the best investments you will ever make is to contribute toward the establishing of a new church. Ministries come and go. But a church will continue to bear witness to the gospel, train local disciples, and minister to those in need for generations to come. And the local church is at the heart of God’s plan for His kingdom on earth.

For many years, Bible Methodist Missions has partnered with church planters and new congregations in the Philippines by sharing with them in the initial cost of building their very first house of worship. Often these new church plants begin by meeting in someone’s home or some other temporary venue. But as souls are saved and the church is established, the need for their own chapel becomes urgent.

In 2025, we are anticipating the opportunity to partner with our Filipino brethren in several new chapel constructions. The timing and budgets can vary, but I am anticipating at least 4 congregations will be ready to build before the end of next year.

As the end of the current year approaches, could you help us get a head start in preparing to build these new chapels? By preparing ahead, the work will not be delayed when the time comes to build. My goal is to raise $50,000 by December 31.

Would you consider making a year-end gift toward this need?
