Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, Whom we love and serve!  The Lord has been very gracious since we arrived from our deputation trip there in the States.

1. We have installed Rey and Marilou Olivera as full-time pastors of Pasig Friends Church.  This is the mother church where we pastored for 29 years. Please pray for their adjustment with the members that there would be real bonding between Rey and Marilou with the people.

2. We have finalized our plans for the Gospel/Ministry Team to help us in our supervisory and church-planting ministry.  Please pray for a good teamwork and harmony with each other. The Team starts travelling with us this month visiting our churches and conducting evangelistic meetings.

3. We have nine Bible students enrolled this semester. One is just a part-time while the rest are full-time. Two are graduating this school year. Please pray that the two would be able to pass the government exam for teachers.

4. Last July 21st we had our regular pastors and workers fellowship. Although many of them did not make it to the gathering due to hectic schedule, we had a wonderful time of prayer and sharing of the blessings of God in the ministry. Please pray for continued unity and harmony among us.

5. I have 14 students in my Hermeneutics course at Faith Bible College. If they pass the course they would be qualified to take my next course which is Homiletics. Please pray for good health and wisdom for these students. This is a "flu season" in our country.

6. Just last August 5th the Samagta Friends Church started a month-long evangelistic service which will be held every Sunday Evening. I had  the opportunity to be the first speaker. Many young people (50) attended the meeting and several of them made professions of their faith to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Please pray that Pastor Roland Javiero would be able to put up a good follow-up program.

7.  Hilda Lumabi, a college graduate who felt the call of the Lord, is now in charge of our Taguig Friends Church since the former pastor was asked to have a leave of absence. Please pray that as she takes this heavy responsibility along with her studies at Faith Bible College, that she would be able to cope with the requirements of being a full-time worker at the same time as full-time Bible student.

Thank you very much for your prayers as part of the Tabingo support team. May the Lord continue to bless you!

Sincerely in Christ,

Jaime & Lydia Tabingo
