Global Family Outreach Ministry Newsletter For December 2012

Dear Family and Friend of GFOM,

We trust that the Lord is blessing you already in the new year of 2013. Can you believe we are in a new year already ? Yes, we are indeed here but I’d like to finish up 2012’s business with you if I may and share some news about our plans for the ministry in 2013.

We are so delighted to say that December was a very busy month for us. We were able to receive a balakbyan box shipped from the USA to our GFOM Poor Children’s Feeding Program in Aklan, Philippines and arrived just before Christmas.

We were able to distribute some used toys, clothes and shoes to the children that we share the Gospel with and feed physically. How we enjoyed seeing the smiles on the children’s faces. A Big thank you to our friend of the ministry; “Timothy” who made this all happen.

Our weekly count of children that we serve remains an average of fifty. Our design and fiances that we receive is only good enough to help less then 30 children but somehow the Lord stretches out our finances—praise the Lord.

We continue to need financial support and at the end of the year-2012, the average giving to the ministry was only about $50(usd) per month. This is well below what is needed to help those affected by severe poverty and the ability to be effective in outreaching to see people receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. We don’t give up however and we have plans for 2013 to rectify this dilema.

Indeed, the Bible says “we labor not in vain.” We press on an are thankful for all of you who support the Lord’s work we do in the Philippines; both in Taguig and in Aklan. Our goal is to press forward specifically in 2013 in these important ways;

1) Double the average financial giving we receive to GFOM from $50 to $100 per month.We will ask you to help give a little more and also to please spread “the word: with what we are sucessfully doing here at GFOM.
2) To have 12 children sponsored through our GFOM child sponsorship program which means that each child will have at least one sponsor who will give $30(usd) per month to help that child grow in Christ and have their school and medical needs met as well. We ask that you would please sponsor one child. Also please ask others that you know to sponsor one child as well.
3) Finally, we are looking for a Fire Company that would be willing to donate a good used fire truck to the Philippines and pay for it’s shipping there. Please help us contact as many Fire Companies as possible in seeing if they are willing to donate a good used fire truck and pay the cost in shipping.

These are our three biggest goals for 2013. We always have a primary goal of seeing children and their parents come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

Soon, you will be either be sent photos of children available to be sponsored through GFOM or photos will be made available on social websites to be viewed. Some bio-data will be provided as well with those photos. All children will be school age and no older then 16 years old. There will most likely be 6 girls and 6 boys available. Single men and single women will not be allowed to sponsor opposite sex children. Sorry if that is an inconvenience for anyone.

We are looking forward to our plans to be fulfilled in 2013 and grateful that you along with others will help us along the way. God is using you in a mighty way and we cannot say thank you enough to those of you who have invested in the Kingdom of heaven.

May the Lord richly bless you with all His goodness in 2013.
