Jay & Amor Hallowell

We arrived in Denver, Colorado, USA as scheduled on February 23. Overall, we feel a deep sense of God’s care and blessing. We are grateful for how God continues to use us, in small, but we pray, important ways in the lives of both believing and non-believing family members, friends, colleagues, godchildren, neighbors, and others in the Philippines and in the USA.

Mobilizing for missions is something we do all year round, wherever we are. We mobilize for missions with OMF, our Denver church, our Denver church’s network, and our Denver church network’s missions agency.

• We are very encouraged by tremendous recent growth in a soon-to-be-missionary whom we get to mentor in a small but significant way, PTL.

• The mobilization highlight for May will be a Future Missionaries Retreat here in Denver May 25-28 at which Jay will serve as a mentor. This retreat is for our Denver church network’s missions agency.

• In July, Jay plans to go to North East Brazil as part of a group from our Denver church’s network, Lord willing. We pray that this prayer trip will be used to help to form a new missionary team whom God may use to begin a church-planting movement among several under-reached people groups there.

We continue to spend time with Filipinos wherever we are, all year round.

• Amor joins monthly with Filipino-American ladies in Denver when she can.  For example, on Saturday May 2, Amor joined a group of Filipino-American ladies in Denver for food, fun, and a Bible study on developing the mind of Christ.

• In July we plan, Lord willing, to drive to North Carolina to meet with a group of Filipinos from InterVarsity Christian Fellowship of the Philippines (IVCF-P) who now live in the USA and Canada. We encourage each other to keep alive our zeal from our student days. We pray, give, and volunteer to support IVCF-P as they reach this generation of Filipino students. We plan to drive through parts of 15 US states, most of which we ha ve never visited.

Thank you for your prayers,  Jay and Amor
