Last Sunday some people from our church went to a nearby neighborhood here in Tipo, where we live. The idea was to go around and pray for people. I dropped them off from our van along with a bunch of kids that walk to church from there. Then I went on to take some other people into town.

A few minutes after we dropped them off a fight erupted in a group of men that were drinking there, you know the scenario, Sunday afternoon in the Philippines. One guy threatened another and as one was trying to enter the other’s property he was met by a guy with a bolo(not sure about the spelling on that yet).

I will spare you the gory details but it was a bad scene of death and mutilation witnessed by several of our Kingdom Kids, the victim was a god-father to one of the kids. The murder then did an excited victory song and dance, celebrating his murder. They said his face was contorted, and then he ran off at supernatural speed, obviously demon possessed.

I am also asking God for the lessons and the timing of that event. I think one thing is that we need to take the spiritual war here more seriously. The scene was a good illustration of revealing our enemy’s character.

The good thing is we know satan can not stop the work of God but he can sometimes hinder or delay it. In all these things the Lord is also developing us.

We love you guys and we are praying for you. I know that the difference you are making is so much greater than what you can see from Baseco. You are an inspiration to me and many others. People with your kind of commitment are heroes to me.

God bless and protect you guys and God have mercy on Baseco
