Typhoon Rai (called Typhoon Odette in the Philippines):
Typhoon Odette created havoc in the Philippines on December 16, 2021. Thousands of houses (huts) were destroyed. People have no 
drinking water, electricity and basic needs. Many are living in tents at this time. Here are the destroyed houses of 8 adopted ministers. These are just the first ones who were able to send pictures. I am posting this per chance you may wish to help them rebuild. To God be the glory!
December 2021 Baptisms:
Hurricane Rai (Odette) and the ongoing pandemic had tried to stop the work in the 
Philippines last month. Yet, the Holy Spirit was poured out and despite the continuing problems, 889 precious souls accepted Jesus through baptism. Praise the Lord! Thank you to the 300+ adopted ministers, brethren and mission workers for your faithful commitment to share Jesus to the world.
2021 Christmas Food and Gift-giving:
We have a few sponsors who specifically give for Food and Gift-giving. Last Christmas, many children and the elderlies received rice (other food) and toys. They are sending their thanks for a wonderful Christmas. God be praised.**Hundreds of Inmates Found Jesus in Jail: Each month we send food for inmates in Tuguis jail where there are 35 baptized in the Adventist Church, and to 100 inmates (also baptized Adventists) in Muntinlupa jail. These inmates do not have good food, but those who are now Adventists are able to attend Sabbath services in a meeting room each Sabbath and have good food once a month. Last Christmas, they had a wonderful celebration with games, food, and gifts to all the inmates (Adventists and non-Adventists). Thanks so much to those who gave for the inmates. To God be the glory! Building houses for the POOR: Three adopted ministers were able to build 3 houses for the very poor last month. Thanks to the sponsors who specifically sent for house building projects. Amazingly, these newly-built houses stood well during the last typhoon. Praise God for His protection. Today, there are thousands who lost their huts during the typhoon. I don’t know how to help them, and so I leave these all to God.

Church building Projects:
So far, we have built 7 of those $1,000 church building projects for the Subanen Tribe in the mountains of Mindanao. There are now over 2,000 baptized Subanen tribes people up in that mountain, which is very far from the nearest town. God be praised!
