In 2006 and early 2007 I lost three computers for the Students plus my Compaq Laptop do to bad electrical supply, black
outs are almost weekly. These three had repalced the previous three we had lost for the same reason.
T and E Properties of Lynchburg VA, gave us one of their old computers last May and it was doing well up unto the
time we lost the old Monitor we had attached to it. It just died. so currently the computer I would let the
Students use is un-usable until we can get a new Monitor. I am praying for a flat screen as they take up less space.
We could use a couple more and with the curent price of desktops coming down to around $300. We would like 2 more, Battery
power supplies, and voltage regulators
The Students of Palawan.
We are currently housing 2 students, they are sisters. Their papa is working in Malaysia, and there is very little support
coming for them. They have been struggling to get the school tuitions, Multicab fees and Lunch. so we offered to take
them in. Grace the older one helps around the house and gets 1500 Pesos from us each month. A 1000 pesos will cover
her transpartation and the extra is for her personal needs. we supply all that they need in the house and meals.
Mary Anne is still in elementary school but growing fast.
Pray for these two students they will need new school uniforms and shoes.

Puerto Princesa City is a College town. There are 5 major Colleges, and 4 High Schools, this
does not include the many Computer Schools and private Technical Colleges and Trade Schools. To date there are very few ministries
in the Santa Monica area for students.
We envision a student ministry in the Santa Monica area for the students. In
the Santa Monica area where we live there are an estimated 200 boarding houses housing students from all over the Province
of Palawan. Most of these students are sent to Puerto Princesa for education because there are very few schools elsewhere
in the province. Many of these students are away from home and are under great peer presure to join in of activities which
are destructive and demoralizing. Often students innocently come to Puerto for an education and because of needs such as food
and clothing, they will resort to prostitution and drug dealing to supplement the needed income that their families cannot
provide.
We wish to create a no smoking, no drugs, no alcohol Christian environment for these students to enjoy during
the week, We will conduct weekly Student Bible Studies, and have a Sunday Student Worship Center.
Other amenities
would include some computer operations training, English tutoring, Typing, as well as services such as photo copying and printing
of assignments and class projects. Also, lite meals, snacks, soft drinks and coffee. And such events as "Christian Video Night"
to view such films as "The Jesus Film", "Left Behind", "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and other films. Christian "Worship
Night" with local worship bands, Etc.
In addition we will be giving away free clothing to students in need of clothing,
and helping with their school supplies as well.(Go to the "How Can I help" Page to get info on how you can help.)
The
Lord has opened this door for us and we want to be obediant to His Leading. But not wanting to run ahead of His provision.
Please be praying how you can help support this outreach to the Students of Palawan. It has the potential of reaching many
Students and their communities for Christ throughout the Province of Palawan.

teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you; and lo, I am with your always, even unto the end of the age."
