NOVEMBER MISSION – TEAM

David and Joy Weaver

David and Joy Weaver work with TEAM and are our November Mission Focus. We had the pleasure of having David and Joy Weaver worship with us this summer. Here is there update:

We now have computer-generated perspective drawings of the church being built in Malasiqui, Pangasinan. This, and two more buildings, will be the home of Malasiqui Christian Fellowship, and Evangelism Camp Center for Tarlac and Pangasinan provinces. The perspective drawing looks nothing like the flooded field where workers are digging holes in thick mud to start building. It does not show that every cement block will be hand-made on site. Every inch of concrete will be hand-mixed on the ground and poured by hand from 5 gallon buckets.

In Church Planting Institute training this week, we studied the perspective drawing God gives us of an eternal temple He is building through each of these Filipino church planters. Through Christ, “the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.” Ephesians 2:21 When CPI meets this month in the Philippines, we will be studying “The Godly Family”, and how it portrays God, and the Family of God.

Without CPI, these workers would not become the interdependent church planters that they have become. Without them, we would not be reaching 17 different locations with the gospel at the same time. Without you who pray and support our work, we would not have the means to conduct this training, or to build the church in Malasiqui. Christ is helping you, us, and these Filipino workers to be “perfectly fitted together” into His world-wide temple of God.

The church in Malasiqui has a long way to go before it looks as beautiful as the perspective drawings. God Himself promises that when Christ’s Church is complete, it will be as beautiful as a bride on her wedding day. In fact, we will all become fit to be a “dwelling place for God.” From God’s perspective, the work is as good as done

Thank you for slogging through the mud with us until the last “living stone” is set in place!

Servants together, David & Joy

Family News: Our daughter, Rachel and husband, Chris got the perspective they needed from a sonogram to announce they are expecting a baby boy February 11. Our son, Daniel and wife, Miriam are expecting their second child April 21. May all of our grandchildren also become part of God’s eternal dwelling place!
