Back in the Philippines
Bittersweet: We arrived in the Philippines on September 12, 2024. On September 18, Amor’s oldest brother [Photo held by Amor's sister, above] died suddenly of a heart attack. Four days of visitation ended on September 23 with the final family farewell, cremation, and the internment of his ashes. We did enjoy catching up with family and meeting many friends of Amor’s brother. Jay planned, emceed, and gave an evangelistic message at his memorial service. [Above: Amor’s four living siblings and their spouses in front of his casket.]
We do plan to continue to mentor pastors, leaders, seminary professors, missionaries, and others in the Philippines as soon as the family matters surrounding Amor’s brother’s death are more settled. We plan to go back to our apartment in Colorado, Lord willing, on February 25, 2025. Step by step, God's has been confirming to us that it is His will that we divide our Active Retirement lives and ministries roughly 50-50 between the USA and the Philippines each year. Thank you for your prayers.
