Mission 20 focus on Asia

Four years ago this November my wife and I my parents and sister went to the Philippines for a mission trip. Little did I know how that trip would effect my life forever. I had the privilege of meeting some of the most strongest Christians that I have ever met and many that were several years younger than I .

Here we are with college students on the Island of Mindanao. I was really touched when one of these young men came up to me and asked "how did you find out what God's will was for your Life?". Well to answer that question, he has called all of us to obedience in following him, and has given all Christians a commission to preach the Gospel other than that I am still praying and striving to be in His will daily.

Here we are at an anniversary celebration in Manila a city of 17.5 million people.

The Teens of OCBC are focusing on Christians all over the world praying for them and seeking ways that they can help.

Would you take up the call of praying?

Our very own country is dying spiritually and prayer, humble hearts repenting and coming back to the Lord is what will bring us back. But it must start with you.

Mission 20: REMEMBER TO PRAY

Deluge in rain-soaked Philippines buries 160

MANILA, Philippines - Driving rain on the heels of back-to-back storms triggered dozens of landslides across the northern Philippines on Friday, burying more than 160 people, washing away villages and leaving almost an entire province under water.

The latest deluge brought the death toll to nearly 500 from the Philippines' worst flooding in 40 years after storms started pounding the country's north on Sept. 26.

More than 160 people were killed in landslides in Benguet and Mountain Province along the Cordillera mountain range, about 125 miles north of Manila, officials said. Residents were jolted awake by the rumbling sound of mudslides and floodwaters tearing apart the saturated soil and washing away homes.
