Jay and Amor
Hallowell have been missionaries with OMF-International in the
Philippines since 1990.
From 2002 to 2014
Jay taught New Testament, Hermeneutics, Missions and other
courses at the Biblical Seminary of the Philippines (BSOP) while
Amor taught English and Christian Education.
In 2014, Jay
became the Field Director of the OMF Philippines Field, leading
75 missionaries. Amor mentored a variety of ladies and
helped new missionaries to learn language, culture, and
world-view.
In March 2020,
Jay was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. His
doctors ordered him to go to the USA for treatment. He
turned over his Field Director duties. We were then able to
travel to the USA just before Covid-19 travel restrictions
began. After six grueling cycles of chemotherapy
Jay was declared to be in remission in August
2020.
While Covid-19
continues to be an issue in the Philippines and Jay continues to
recover from the lymphoma and chemotherapy, we will stay in the
USA.
While in the USA,
Jay is serving as a consultant and a mentor to
leaders in the Philippines. Amor continues her
ministry of mentoring female leaders. Jay and Amor also
serve their home church in Denver in various ways as well as
helping our church network with a church plant in
northwest Denver.
We are eying
a return to the Philippines around September or
October 2021, Lord willing.
This depends on Jay continuing in remission and the
Covid-19 situation in the Philippines coming under
control.
Thank you for
your continued support and prayers.
