Dear family, brethren, & friends,

With much thanksgiving, I arrived home safely about midnight and got to bed before 3:00 A.M.  I feel inadequate to express my praise and thanksgiving to God for enabling me to preach the gospel of Christ in the Philippines again.  I also lack adequate words to thank all the saints who make these trips possible by your prayers, donations, and encouragement in the work of the Lord.  Of course, I owe the greatest debt to Donna.  None of this would have been possible without her constant help!  Also, for almost 30 years the Hebron Lane church of Christ here in Shepherdsville, Kentucky has facilitated this work and I am greatly indebted to these saints.

Working with Filipino saints is a blessing beyond measure.  In preparing and teaching the lessons, I am edified by God’s Word, but I am also edified by the dedicated help and sacrifices of our Filipino brethren.  They are always in my heart and prayers. 

May God bless us all as we press forward on our journey to heaven.   

In Christian love,
Ron Halbrook
