A Prayer Request...

Please pray for Rev. Telesforo B. Yague, Sr., the grandfather of Living Waters Asia's Managing Director, Dennis Mark Y. Aglosolos. Rev. Yague, Sr. may be familiar to you. Yes, he's the face of the Million Peso Bill tract. After a visit to the Philippines last July, the 87-year old pastor was found unconscious in his apartment in Chicago. Doctors attending to him said he had a stroke, and as a result, his left brain was damaged. He was asleep for more than a week. He is now able to open his eyes but still can't communicate.

During Rev. Yague, Sr.'s years of Christian service, he was, by God's grace, able to start several churches in the Philippines. People who know him can attest to his zeal in sharing the Gospel. This was actually Rev. Yague's prayer that he told Dennis... that God will add more years to his life so he can share the Gospel to more people.

Pray for God's will regarding Rev. Yague, Sr.'s condition.

WOTM Seminar at United Evangelical Church of Greenhills

Living Waters Asia was recently at United Evangelical Church of Greenhills for a Way of the Master Seminar (July 19, 2009). Through the coordination of the church's associate pastor, Ptr. Mike Lim, the LWA team was invited to explain what biblical evangelism is.

Together with Dennis Mark Y. Aglosolos were members of the Star Youth Ministries who were assigned small groups to handle practices of one-to-one witnessing among the attendees of the seminar. Dennis' 7-year old son, Alen Daniel, was likewise present as he gave a testimony of his experiences in sharing the Gospel to strangers in parks and marketplaces. The testimony aimed to impart the idea that if a 7-year old kid can do it, how much more older Christians.

The seminar was a big success! The hall where the seminar was conducted was really full packed. The team had a great time answering questions from the attendees. We hope that more churches like UEGC will open their doors for LWA to conduct WOTM Seminars.

Chinese Gospel Tract

We have finally printed Living Waters Asia's first ever Gospel tract in the Chinese language. We know that many of you have been inquiring to us about this. Thanks to a faithful brother in Christ, Benaiah Villanueva, our "Are you a good person" comic tract is now available in the simplified Chinese language. And because this tract was printed locally, it's way cheaper than the tracts we imported from the US.

As most of you know, this tract can clearly show any person who reads it how wrong his/her understanding of his/her morality. People will understand that it's not man's standard that will matter on Judgment Day. It's God's high benchmark that will be in play on that scary day of judgment. With the comic illustration, people will surely be attracted to read this tract.

So to our Chinese brethren, enjoy giving out this tract! A tract in the Japanese language will be next on our project. Please pray for this.
