Dear Friend,
Thanks to your love and prayers
that my family returned well after visiting South Korea and United States. It
was a wonderful time of fellowship and ministry as we’ve met some of our old-time
partners and friends in both countries. In U.S., we had a special moment of
helping our son, Timothy, to settle for his new college life. The first bird
has flown the nest! Eunice and I thanked God for raising and preparing Timothy
for such a time as this that he’s ready to step out into the world to pursue
his own God-given dream.
It was another meaningful and
joyous encounter to teach on the missions and to have an opportunity to mentor
the students of Ebenezer Bible College, a major training institution for the
Christian and Missionary Alliance Philippines. It was timely because most of
them were seniors and were seeking God’s directions in their lives in terms of
missionary careers. Again, I witnessed that God is willing and looking for
those whose hearts are fully committed to following His command to “go and make
disciples of all nations.”
I was recently in Vietnam, checking what God has been doing through EAPTC team in T-region for
the last one and half years. My team and I met with several discipleship small
groups set up throughout the town. There is already a group meeting on Sundays
for worship. I had a privilege of licensing and blessing our person-in-charge
there together with other brothers to affirm the pastoral call on his life. Please
keep praying for the young Vietnam ministry to multiply in the years to come.
Upon our return to Philippines,
I’ve been on the road again for teaching ministries and meetings in various
places, from Angeles City to Zamboanga City. In September, we had a prayer retreat with my IGSL mentoring group
students. On the top of recharge and refreshment, deep fellowship and
interaction were appreciated as there is a new student who joined the group
from India this school year.

Even our C-nation ministry now
has a total of four ongoing house church leadership training centers within the
nation, all secretively run by our EAPTC counterpart over there. The seeds you
and I have sown in the past are not vain at all. The Lord’s name is lifted up
in Africa and Asia because of your partnership in the gospel. May his name be glorified
and his Kingdom come in all the earth!
Until everyone hears,
Dr. Paul Lee (& Eunice)
