PRAY FOR OUR VISION & MISSION

DEAR PASTOR / MISSION BOARD DIRECTOR : Sincere greetings in the mighty and precious Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the head of our Body being One in His Sovereign Name! "So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke...; it may be that the Lord will be with me." Joshua 14:12. Caleb knew what he wanted: 'Give me this mountain.' He didn't ask for an easy job. It was the most hilly part in the area, infested by giants. Israel's enemies were strongest here the most difficult part of the whole Promised Land to subdue and Caleb at 85 said 'Give me that.' Caleb feared no foe and desired no rest. There's a saying that a person of vision and faith does the most difficult thing now and leaves the impossible until later. Fear looks at the problems, faith claims the opportunities. In the spirit of this verse and Caleb's claim for his mountain, I too come to you to express a deep burden for reshaping our dream that came true years ago and now, the same place must take on a renewed bigger plan and attempt for God! Like 5 years ago, my wife and I decided to donate the house and lot properties where now the church-school at the back was constructed. It was a dream came true when in 2007 all the way from U.S.A., I came back to see the fruits of our labor as "seed" and we pray that it grows sufficiently to be of service to those who continue in their example of obedience to God and service to their fellow man.. Years went by so swiftly and we see the space is too small now for our growing school ministries. And we envisioned another GREATER ATTEMPT FOR THIS PLACE, expand the lot where we shall house more rooms for our schools, more seats for our congregation, more floors, or nothing is impossible, we started praying for the vacant lot on the right wing of our missionary house. Rooms that maybe converted into something like (1) a space for a CAMPSITE! This is Baguio City, remember, the SUMEMR CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES. This is where majority of Koreans preferred staying because of its cold climate, fresh atmosphere, refreshing breeze, and cool site - a perfect fit to forget the humdrums of life! Or we dreamt of these rooms becoming (2) a space for ESL TUTORIAL CENTER MAYBE in the whole of Baguio City! And (3) REST HOUSES FOR KOREAN MISSIONARIES OR OTHER FOREIGN MISSION CHURCH PLANTERS! AND ALONGSIDE OUR SCHOOL ROOMS, SAME SPACE FOR A STUDENT CENTER FOR NEARBY COLLEGES IN THE PLACE, and this means MORE SOULS WILL BE SAVED! WHEW! This is too much for a dream, cuz IT COULD BE A DREAM LAND FOR ALL OF US, not only a DREAM COME TRUE TO OUR HIGHLAND TRIBESMEN, a BIGGER TUITION-FREE 4-YEAR COLLEGE COURSE and a CHRISTIAN PRESCHOOL! But, oh yeah but IT WOULD MEAN A CONVERTIBLE SPACE FOR CAMPS, ESL TUTORIALS, REST HOUSES FOR FOREIGN MISSIONARIES, STUDENTS CENTER FOR EVANGELISM.... Amazing! ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD! I feel greatly blessed to be a part of the Body of Christ and am grateful,always, for the portion of Truth that the Creator has been willing to reveal to me and to my family. I am the beneficiary of His mercy and kindness. sO i MUST SHARE THIS BLESSING, And YOU, TOO MUST NOT DEFEAT THE GRACE OF GOD IN YOUR CAPACITY TO HELP AND FUND AND BUILD THE DREAM FOR ALL OF US! It has been my personal observation though that over nearly 35 years of my involvement in the Body of God that one of the greatest failings of our tradition is shortsightedness. And that shortsightedness is made manifest by our lack of providing for the physical needs of those who come after us. It is my hope and prayer that in this Body of Christ in the timely coming Kingdom of God that we will draw on the vast resource of wealth, knowledge, health and freedom that Our Father has provided us all who have the resources to channel these blessings and that we will build and expand this house that our children and their children can use and add to and serve their Creator and their peers for years to come, educate them, give them a decent living being God's sons. And that when our Savior returns, whether this life goes on for a thousand generations, or whether He comes quickly, we will be found "So Doing". I CHALLENGE YOU GUYS TO PLEASE HELP REALIZE OUR DREAMS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS OF MANY PEOPLE! LET US HOUSE IN THIS SMALL MISSION HOUSE A BIGGER LOVE FOR THE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE AND FOR US, TOO, AS THIS HOUSE WILLL BECOME ALL OURS! AMEN? Respectfully, REV. LARRY TAN Mobile No. 09282682952 Tel.
