Brother Jun Monderin is a dear friend in Manila who faithfully preaches the gospel to men, women and children alike in the jails and prisons of the National Capital Region of Luzon.
I rejoice at the news that he was ordained this past week at the church that trained him - LaLoma Baptist Church. I have preached there on a number of occasions on my trips and rejoice for Brother Jun as he has now been recognized by biblical standards as being fit for ordination.
His family is a blessing and he has devoted workers that faithfully minister with him in the jails and prisons. Take a moment to pray for the Lord's blessing on this man's continued work for the Lord, for his family (wife Joyce - daughter Betsy) and for health, provision and spiritual victory over the satanic opposition he faces while proclaiming the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

12 Years!
Just wanted to publicly praise the Lord for blessing me with a wonderful wife and 12 years of marriage. We are grateful for God's mercy on us and the guidance He gives through His word that enriches and stabilizes our marriage.
So much has happened in 12 years that when reflecting back over the weekend, we were stunned. To see where the Lord has brought us is amazing and to look forward and together know how much growth we still need makes us eager to seek the Lord more and more. We praise the Lord for our four daughters and soberly approach raising them in this present evil world. We are grateful for their sakes that God has seen fit to reveal Himself to us and that our desire is that they may be raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
My wife is a treasure to me. Neither of us will fit every mold that others may desire to put missionaries into but we are grateful for the clarity of His call, His destination for us, His criteria put forth in His word that we seek daily to endeavour to walk worthy of and the joy of fellowship and love that we share. I praise God for Stephanie.
Pro 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Pro 31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
Pro 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Thank you to all who pray for us and our family, truly we know that it is not a vain exercise. The enemy would love to destroy marriages and publicly shame God's people, by faith and prayer we all can overcome his attacks and be the light that God would have us to be.
