July 2024 Global Family Outreach Ministry Monthly Newsletter

Hello dear family and friend of Global Family Outreach Ministry,
Jorlyn and I earnestly pray that you are safe and blessed.

As we all view the world waning from Christ and increase in chaos, Jorlyn and I are so very thankful for you. As always during July, Jorlyn and I continue to look for ways to serve not only in our local community, but also world-wide. My counseling ministry remains available and Jorlyn and I share salvation tracts whenever possible as well. We have many Hispanics where we live so we have a plethora of English, Spanish and Tagalog language tracts available ?  

As we prepare to open our 9th GFOM Poor Children’s Feeding program, I can report to you that we are praising Jesus that 2 major hurricanes that hit the Northern section of the Philippines, did not disturb our 8 of our Poor Children’s Feeding Programs. We are very sad at the loss of homes and especially lives of those who were negatively impacted. Our prayers were, and are with and for them. At times like this, we wish we could actually be in the mission field full-time so we could be more of a help and blessing to everyone in need. Of course, we cannot help everyone, but if we had the financial means to be in the Philippines and in other nations to help others, we would gladly serve the Lord there.

If you partnered with us with your prayers and financial donations, praise the Lord, we were able to feed and teach the world of God to nearly 330 children during the month of July. Some of these kids as well as you can imagine, have a difficult life. Some only have one parent, or no parents at all. These children live with relatives and the funds and prayers you provide is an open door for the kids to learn about Jesus, have Him in their lives and eat great food as well. You are a huge blessing to these children. When you see photos of their faces smiling, those are real and heart-felt smiles because they are taking an hour or so and enjoying the peace and love of Christ.

Some of the volunteer teachers are informing us that this is indeed rainy season in the Philippines and some of the children have sniffles and have been ill. Please pray for them as you also pray about financially helping them. Rainy season in the Philippines also at times, if there is a lot of rain, prevents some of the kids from attending the feeding programs. We pray each child will not become ill when they do attend.

Unfortunately, we fell $132 short in our fundraising for the feeding programs during August, but Jorlyn and I are praying we will get back on track during the 5 feeding programs that we will be operating during August. We are sad we could not fund all seven feeding programs, but praying September we will get all 60 kids back on track.

I wish also to give you an update regarding the online meeting Jorlyn and I held with all the pastors and Bible teachers in the Philippines last month to discuss when we will have enough money to open the new and 9th Poor Children’s Feeding program, but also discuss how if possible, we can cut expenses if necessary. The meeting was a bit sad that we needed to discuss the possibility of delaying the opening of the 9th GFOM Poor Children’s Feeding program in Bohol, but all the pastors and teachers in the Philippines understood. So, the plan is to

delay the opening of the Ninth program until September. The evangelism event will be held the last week of August. That’s the plan. We will pray that we will have the finances available to follow through.

As a quick reminder, our monthly budget to a total of $575. Also please remember, that cost is only for the feeding programs. That does not include the costs of three websites to be maintained, office supplies such as stamps, paper, envelopes, etc. In the month’s of June and July, we paid the $100 each month for the one year of website hosting. I know some folks don’t think about these added expenses, but unfortunately these are real bills and not unusual for Christian

If you have never, or haven’t in some time sent a love gift to bless the childrenand their families that we serve, please help and also indicate where you want your donation to be placed. We have many programs to be a help and blessing to all whom we serve. Thank you
