Baptist representatives write: “We praise God for our two Nehemiah Teams — the Basketball Team and the Agriculture Team. Despite the extreme heat here in Cebu, these eight young men faithfully served the Lord and invested in the lives of others. Through their efforts, God opened doors for home Bible studies, allowing His Word to be shared in homes and hearts throughout the community. As they return to the United States and resume their daily lives, we pray that God will continue to work in their hearts, deepen their walk with Him, and strengthen their burden for His ministry here in Cebu. We also ask God to continue working in the lives of those attending the Bible studies, that they will grow in faith and come to know Christ more fully. We are deeply thankful for these eight young men who chose to spend their summer serving here in Cebu, Philippines. Their faithfulness and willingness to be used by God have been a tremendous blessing, and we trust that the seeds planted this summer will bear lasting fruit for His glory.”
