Books Books and More Books!

Praise God for His enabling! I finally finished the manuscript of our team's book entitled A Pebble in the Water, A Hoe in the Soil. It is a collection of stories and reflections of our team for the past six years. The manuscript is currently in the hands of a publisher in Singapore for perusal. Please pray that this publisher would agree to publish our book. We praise God that Dr. Melba Maggay of the Institute of Studies in Asian Church and Culture has agreed to write the conclusion of the book (more like an afterword). Please pray for God's wisdom upon her. In God's own time, you, too, will have the opportunity to read what God is doing down here through this book. Until then, keep praying with and for us. Thank you!!!

Another book that is due to come out is How to Write Effective Ministry Prayer Letters. I co-wrote this material with my lovely friend, Elizabeth P. Ong, who is also a prolific writer and creative photographer. We aim to be of help and service (through seminars and workshops) to missionaries and Christian workers in the area of writing prayer letters. Pray that this material would truly benefit our missionaries who have so many stories to tell...but sometimes lack the skill.

Last October, I went to Manila to attend the launch of two books of which I was one of the writers. Below are photos of the launches of Real Time: Devotions for Filipino Youth and Walking On: The Best of Women on the Journey.
