Page 1 Dear Ministry Partner, This month we saw several more victories in the orphanage ministry, praise God! First, we saw 12 of the children receive Christ and follow Him in baptism, including Kino, Ericka, Aica, Gilbert, Monica, Marilou, John Mark, Sheina, Martin, Fernand, Genna, and Roseann! Please pray for this little group of 12 new disciples as they grow in their faith and please pray continually that all of the other children will come to receive Christ also! It’s super exciting to see these kids so hungry to learn about and follow God’s Word! By the grace of God we were able to bring in another child this month! We brought in 8yo Justin out of a nearby squatter area where many of our other kids came from and we literally brought in Justin with nothing more than some old clothes he was wearing (he didn't even have cheap slippers with him). He was excited to get a spaghetti dinner and find many blessings waiting for him! As so many kids in these squatters, Justin hasn’t been in school and often scavenges around for any food he can get his hands on and often resorts to stealing. Please pray for him and the other 41 children currently in the orphanage and the multitudes of other youngsters in desperate need of shelter and provision. We’re planning on bringing in a few more children next month and then our current facilities will be completely filled up. Please continue praying for all of the expansion plans. We’re excited to report that we now have more than enough to purchase the additional 2,800 square meters and we are currently working with a geodetic engineer to prepare us a proper land survey, praise God! Once that is complete we expect to make the payment to the land owner in the first or second week of December! Please pray for the Lord’s provision to fence in all the property and begin constructing the next set of rooms so that we can start bringing in many more children. We’re going to be working with a civil engineer friend soon on a two story design for the next set of rooms; please pray for God’s wisdom in all of the expansion plans. This month saw several birthdays including Kevin (9), Gilbert (13), Ronaldo (12), Glaiza (17), and Roseann (11)! We continue to stand in awe at how well the kids are flourishing here with us; God sure is awesome! Once again we want to send a huge thanks to every supporter out there; thanks for being such a blessing! God bless you all mightily, Jeremy and Kristine Ferguson (Orphanage Directors) Mark 14:7, “For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good” See many more pictures and regular updates online at: www.facebook.com/PhilippineBaptistOrphanage Nov. 2020 Newsletter

Dear Ministry Partner,
This month we saw several more victories in the orphanage ministry, praise God! First, we saw 12 of the
children receive Christ and follow Him in baptism, including Kino, Ericka, Aica, Gilbert, Monica, Marilou,
John Mark, Sheina, Martin, Fernand, Genna, and Roseann! Please pray for this little group of 12 new disciples as they grow in their faith and please pray continually that all of the other children will come to
receive Christ also! It’s super exciting to see these kids so hungry to learn about and follow God’s Word!
By the grace of God we were able to bring in another child this month! We brought in 8yo Justin out of a
nearby squatter area where many of our other kids came from and we literally brought in Justin with
nothing more than some old clothes he was wearing (he didn't even have cheap slippers with him). He was
excited to get a spaghetti dinner and find many blessings waiting for him! As so many kids in these
squatters, Justin hasn’t been in school and often scavenges around for any food he can get his hands on
and often resorts to stealing. Please pray for him and the other 41 children currently in the orphanage and the multitudes of other youngsters in desperate need of shelter and provision. We’re planning on
bringing in a few more children next month and then our current facilities will be completely filled up.
Please continue praying for all of the expansion plans. We’re excited to report that we now have more than enough to purchase the additional 2,800 square meters and we are currently working with a
geodetic engineer to prepare us a proper land survey, praise God! Once that is complete we expect to
make the payment to the land owner in the first or second week of December! Please pray for the Lord’s provision to fence in all the property and begin constructing the next set of rooms so that we can start
bringing in many more children. We’re going to be working with a civil engineer friend soon on a two story
design for the next set of rooms; please pray for God’s wisdom in all of the expansion plans.
This month saw several birthdays including Kevin (9), Gilbert (13), Ronaldo (12), Glaiza (17), and Roseann
(11)! We continue to stand in awe at how well the kids are flourishing here with us; God sure is awesome!
Once again we want to send a huge thanks to every supporter out there; thanks for being such a blessing!
God bless you all mightily, Jeremy and Kristine Ferguson (Orphanage Directors)
