Hi praying friends

Thanks for praying for us as we travel in the states. We celebrated Janel's 18th birthday yesterday,Hard to imagine! We have kids that are moving on up in age! That must mean the same for me! And as of a week ago or so I could verify that with my first ever sciatic nerve problem that left me in the hospital for 4 days and 3 nights in Manila! NO fun at all....In fact it was the worst pain i have ever experienced.

We are grateful to have a great staff to hold down the fort in Manila and Malaybalay while we travel around the U.S. sharing the ministry. Praise God for short term team members as well that fill the void and allow us to work with many of our kids one on one! God has blessed us in so many ways as we care for kids.

In July we have three teams coming to serve the kids in Malaybalay and help us build the future facility.Pray for Felicity Taylor as she transitions back to Australia later on this month. She has served our kids well down south. Brandon Stewart will also head down under after leading the way in our construction efforts in Malaybalay. We have been blessed by having these two Aussie's lead the way for us... God is so faithful.

Pray for Kirk as he is the only remaining LONG in the Philippines. Kirk has just started his second year of college. His first major games begin on July 6. Pray he could play well and be an effective person in sharing his faith.

God is definitely GOOD!

Jeff for the Longs and the kids
