MISSIONS AND MISSIONARIES

UPDATE FROM THE NACC,
PHILIPPINES
During the late summer months, typhoons destroyed the parsonage
of the Agape Bible Christian Church located at Caloocan City. Pastor
Jun Balunan and his family were forced to reside in the church
building. Thanks to donations received from the One Great Hour of
Sharing Fund and designated gifts to the Missionary Society, work
has been completed on a new parsonage for Pastor Jun and his family.
Rev. Ernanie Castillo, director of the NACC, informs us that
donations also allowed for the purchase of household appliances that
were needed by this family. A dedication service is being planned
for the new parsonage.
The NACC supports evangelism efforts in Zambales. A bible
institute in the area has 25 students. An Aeta aborigine outreach
mission is gaining headway. The NACC has provided financial support that enabled local people to design and construct their
own worship center. The worship center is basically made-up of
indigenous materials. Aeta believers are very interested in
attending a Bible School for leadership and pastoral training which
is scheduled to begin in the early months of 2001.
The building of the Congregational Church of Bulawen was delayed
due to extreme weather conditions, however, construction has begun
and several congregation members are volunteering their services to
provide the labor for this project.
Currently, the mission is seeking funds to purchase a van to
provide reliable transportation to its ministries in outlying areas.
Funds donated through the Missionary Society should be designated,
"NACC Van."

OLADELE REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE |
|
Rev. Solomon Oladele, director of the Christ to the Villages
Mission, has notified The Missionary Society that Christian
educators are needed for the Omega High School located in Shao,
Nigeria. Educators are needed in the following subject areas:
· Physics
· Chemistry
· Religion (Christian)
· Mathematics
· English Language
|
|
Please contact Ruth Mahnke at the
NA office if you are interested in learning more about this
need.
The Nigerian government has introduced new higher minimum
wages that affect private schools. This has placed a financial
burden on all of the schools supported by the mission – The
Alpha Nursery and Primary Schools as well as the Omega High
School. Work continues on the building of the boy’s hostel
and four classrooms (laboratories)
In recent months, Rev. Oladele has begun broadcasting
Christian messages on Nigerian radio. Funding for this
ministry is obtained through mission donations. Please
remember this mission prayerfully and financially. Donations
may be designated, "Christ to the Villages." Checks
should be made payable to NACCC. |
