Thank the Lord, News from Brother Rey Awatin

I received the following email from Pastor Rey about his and Annies safety. Please read the following:

Dear Praying Partners,

Thank you for all your prayer. I am back to the border of Thailand two days ago. Your prayer bring me safe back to Thailand. For one month mission inside Burma, I visit 11 churches. Four of the churches are new to me, others I visited them 10 years ago. We encounter Burmese army and they fire us with two armalite followed by grenade launcher. We are just 100 meters away but it was dark. They can't see us , so no one was hurt. We have to slowly move away from them until 11 PM. I also fell from the mountain slope 15 meters away from the terrain. The terrain was so narrow and no grass and with few trees. My right chest was hurt when I embrase a tree. On the way to the border there was heavy rain followed by cyclone. It was a hard trip due slippery terrain and the wind is pushing us. For two days we were bitten by small leeches. I will send the details of my trio inside after few days.

Anne and team are still in Thai-Burma border for a teachers training seminar until friday and we will all go back to Philippines on Monday. There are 33 participants in the seminars.

Our team in the Philippines. Ron ron and Nomelyn are back to Apayao from Abra. Ron ron was sick and need to see a doctor. He was sick of Ulcer, Kidney proglem. Please pray for them.

Few years ago, I expose the hoodlum in uniform. That they are protecting the criminals and the pick pocketters in the mall. Now they are repeatedly asking our workers in Abra if they are New People's Army. ( A communist armed guerillas). They even used children to make fun of our missionary in Abra.

Pray for the safety of our field workers in the field. Pray for those hoodlum in uniform that God will ambushed their heart.

Thank God for 12 volunteer workers who travel with us in reaching the Dumagat tribes of Rizal. The team hike for two days to minister to three villages. They distributed relief clothes and grocery items.

Again , Thank you for tyour continues support and prayer for Tribes in Asia for Christ.

Yours for the tribes in Asia,

REY AWATIN
