Philippine Typhoon Update
Tuesday May 20, 2014
Dear Friends,
Below is another great report from Dan and Edna Cadavos.
These two wonderful people and their church Mt Calvary in Mindanao have worked
tirelessly to make certain that the work to help the people, churches, and
villages continues. If you look, you will see that the damage from months
ago is still very evident. There is still much work to do. Pray
that Dan and Edna will be able to continue this great effort.
"Hi Jan, Dan
wrote: "We had a wonderful update from Dan yesterday, with his team still
in Dinagat Island. The wife of one of the sons of that cult group accepted Christ
as her savior and promised to be in services on Sunday! This is a VERY big
deal. Also her and her husband allowed the men to use a lot of their wood
(fallen trees) for the repair work that our team is doing (on 3 different
churches). Pray for the husband as well, as he is considering and listening to
the Gospel. He did ask Dan to "pray" for them.
This afternoon he is
leaving for Leyte with 9 of the 12 men to finish some work they began last
Jan-Feb, then they will return to Dinagat Island and also a work in Surigao
that we are assisting with as well. Tuesday-Thursday of next week they have a
schedule set up to preach in 3 villages on Dinagat Island. This is seldom heard
of since the cult group controls everything on that island. God is doing a marvelous
work there with amazing opportunities. A good number have been saved already.
Our men have been
working over-time and Dan is very happy with them. Of course always little
challenges here and there but overall he is pleased with their work and more
importantly their spiritual growth, learning to witness and learning to work in
unity for the glory of God.
Thanks all for your
prayers! Jan Milton Jared Baldwin Bob Whitney Jerry WraggPaul Edward Guiliano

Pastor Dan is working in
several churches in this area of Leyte. A good number of folks have come to
Christ and the local pastors encouraged. Interestingly this is where
Gen.MacArthur landed in WWII and the first place the American flag was raised
again since lowering in Bataan, so a very significant and a strategic area to
retake the Philippines from the Japanese. So besides the church work, the team
is cleaning up the WWII Monument area as a testimony to the local gov't there
and as a US Citizen Dan plans on raising up the first American Flag since
Typhoon Yolanda that I am sending to him today. Will get a pic of that up once
it reaches them."
Dan spoke of a young boy who helped was dishes for his team as they worked.
"...and
he is doing his part (washing the team's dishes) to assist in the team effort
for Operation Renewed Hope in Dinagat Island with the team from Mt Calvary
Casisang under Pastor Dan Cadavos. - Jan Milton"
They are doing their best to help the people and give the
gospel. Please pray they will be successful.
If you have any extra funds for the work in the Philippines.
We will need just a few more offerings for the summer. Pray about what
you could do.
Please, consider this “open door”, and let’s not hesitate to go to
