Dear brethren,
My 59th preaching trip to the Philippines and 5th trip to Australia is set for July 28-August 26, since my first Philippine trip with Jim McDonald in 1995. Keith Greer, faithful evangelist at the Harrodsburg, KY church of Christ, will make his 10th trip with me. Grayson Key, a faithful Christian here in Louisville, will join us for his first trip. Though not a preacher, he is a capable teacher. We must be busy preparing men for Christ’s return. Christ said, “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation” (Jn. 5:28-29).

HALBROOK REPORT: 58th PHILIPPINE TRIP Mar. 31-Apr. 28, 2015
Dear brethren,
By God’s good providence the Philippine preaching trip planned for March 31-April 28 has been successfully completed. This is my 58th trip since the first one with Jim McDonald in 1995. God promised in Isaiah 11:10, “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Mark Mayberry, evangelist and elder at the Adoue St. church of Christ in Alvin, TX, was an effective companion in holding up the banner of Christ with Filipino saints. I presented 71 lessons and 61 people responded to the gospel call.

Saints Suffering From Severe Drought
Dear family, brethren, and friends,
The government of the Republic of the Philippines recently reported 30 provinces are suffering the effects of severe drought. I have received numerous reports and appeals from brethren pleading for help. Because of my travel in the Philippines during April and many duties awaiting when I returned home, I have been delayed in putting out a general appeal for help. I saw the crops drying up and withering in some areas on my trip.

Home by God’s grace

Dear family, brethren, and friends,
By God’s good grace and providence, the 24 hour trip home from the Philippines was safe in spite of some turbulence while we were flying. Though my body and mind are exhausted, my spirit is always refreshed and lifted up by the experiences shared with Filipino saints in serving the Lord. I am always amazed at what they accomplish serving the Lord with limited resources but great faith. Their faith in God inspires me to seek a stronger faith.
