Independent, Fundamental, Baptist Missionaries | Taguig City, Philippines

PRAISE REPORTS:

You have prayed and prayed with and for us to find

a meeting place appropriate to hold church ser-
vices and ministry activities. Please now take time
to thank and praise the Lord for providing a build-
ing space for us in Barangay Tuktukan, Taguig City.
God is so good!

Praise the Lord for many friends, churches and pas-

tors that are able to help us with the Taguig Initia-
tive. Based upon the pledges, we have met and
exceeded our goal for the start up costs for our
very first church plant. Extra funds will go towards
other church-plant needs. As the next two months
unfold, we will do our best to communicate with
each and every giver, and we will also give you a
better update concerning this. I will attempt to
post a video update at hardecker.com.
Praise the Lord for the faithfulness and sacrificial
giving of our ministry partners. You give, you pray,
you communicate. We thank the Lord for assem-
bling our ministry partners. Thank you!
Praise God for opportunities to preach and teach
His Word. Whether its in a church or in a jailhouse
or one on one with a street kid, or door-to-door
soul-winning, we go with the expectation that
Gods Word will do the work.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Pray that we would be able to move forward with
Marcias Immigration process (we are applying for
her permanent residence visa) and for the boys
dual-citizenship recognition.
Pray that the Taguig Initiative (start up) will go well
according to plan, and for the Lord to work on the
hearts of the landlords (Romeo & Cecilia Santosa
brother & sister partnership). They are supportive
of us and have been a great help!
Pray that Marcia and the boys will progress in
learning the Filipino language: Tagalog.
The Mel-Rose Building: This is the future meeting place for
our first church plant in the heart of Taguig City, Philippines.
We are excited to be able to report to you that the Lord pro-
vided for us a very good meeting space for our very first church-plant
endeavor here in Taguig City. Like anywhere else, the task of church
planting has its challenges, but by Gods grace, we will move forward
in reaching lost souls for the Saviour, baptizing believers, and organiz-
ing them into a self-supporting New Testament Baptist church. We
sent out a letter of request called the Taguig Initiative, and several
friends, churches and pastors responded positively to help us with the
start-up costs. By the goodness of God, we have met and exceeded
what we asked for in that letter. It is only a matter of time for us to
furnish this space with the necessary items to hold church services and
ministry activities. While we are preparing for our first service, we
want to take the time to praise God and thank Him for His goodness
and answers to all of our prayers thus far.
