The three-day celebrations for the Banwaon AUDIO New Testament combined with the annual harvest thanksgiving went very well! Albert and Lynne Castelijn were grateful for great teaching, glory to the Lord, good weather for visitors to fly in (many from other tribal groups from within the Philippines), the excellent planning, hospitality, and generosity of the Banwaon believers. All praise to Him!
Albert and the Banwaon translation team were able to complete the Bible lessons on Galatians! The Bible teachers will be teaching through this book over the coming months.
Pray for Banwaon/Higaunon couple who are settling in well to life and ministry in the Banwaon. They are both a tremendous blessing to the people, the church leadership and to Albert and Lynne.
Pray for them as they will face unique challenges as well as the usual ones that come with leadership responsibilities. Also pray for them as they await the birth of their first child in 2026.
The Banwaon elders and deacons and their wives are such a blessing. Praise God for these faithful people and continue to pray for wisdom, discernment, courage, endurance, joy and ongoing growth and fruit of the Spirit in their lives.
Albert and Lynne will soon travel to attend an Old Testament training workshop in Asia-Pacific. Lynne has been unwell with severe headaches. Thankfully scans have not revealed anything sinister. Pray for restored health.
