Darrell & Shannon - first time for EXTENDED missions trip!

March 30th, 2009 Darrell & Shannon leave for the Philippines for extended 2 year missions trip.
They will be involved in purchasing horses for tribal pastors as well as developing a ministry center in the bukidnon (mountains) of Mindanao as well as continued ministry in Evangelism Mini-Boot Camps; training & equiping pastors; mini-bible schools; orphanage volunteering; encouraging the saints and whatever the Lord has planned for them.

Please hold them up in prayer for safety, health and support for their ministry needs.

Darrell & Shannon are primarily funded by their business which just covers their basic personal needs.  However, they are in need of monthly sponsors to cover their ministry expenses for travel, evangelism training and all ministry needs.
Please consider sponsoring them by making a one-time or monthly recurring gift online.

DONATE HORSE TACK!

Upon our arrival in Valencia City, Bukidnon, Mindanao., we had 4 horses waiting for placement with tribal pastors.

We discovered that a majority of our horses are suffering from injuries that can easliy be solved!

Rope chaffing and scaring is a huge problem! We had to cut off the rope halter on the horse in the photo below because of excessive injuries. Once Ron put on the only halter he brought from Canada, the mare totally settled down within minutes. No pain changed her disposition!

Darrell & Shannon made every effort to locate tack of any kind in Mindanao and Cebu. However, there is NO TACK available in the Philippines! The tack they did find was imported from the US, and the owners were not interested in selling anything.
