Pastor “Basil” Elimanco and his family are on the Island of Mindanao in the Philippines. In spite of the fact that his ministry in the midst of a Muslim stronghold, God is blessing his ministry at Victory Baptist Church in Cagayan de Oro City. Aside from their regular services on Sunday and the mid-week service, they conduct children’s ministries, adult Bible studies, and visitation throughout the week.

They are also in a ministry called BOC (Bless Our Cops). They are invited by their government to teach moral and spiritual values to their people in uniform and to conduct weekly Bible studies to reach them with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.They also train the young people in their church so they can be involved in soulwinning and discipleship in their communities. Victory Baptist Church has now planted three other churches and they are praying that God will enable them to plant many more churches until the Lord comes back. To God Be the Glory!

Pastor Jan Michael Saan is a third generation of pastors in his family. He was saved at the age of 12 during a youth congress. Very soon after his salvation, he felt God's call to preach the Gospel but, seeing the struggles his father had gone through in the ministry, he decided to pursue a law degree. During his fourth year in law school, God reminded him of his call, and he obeyed and entered Bible College. He and his wife Gladys are now serving the Lord on the Island of Mindanao in a region that is heavily Muslim dominated. Since their marriage in 2009, God has blessed them with a son, Jan Abram Saan, who is also actively involved in their ministry. They now have eight missions and outreach areas in the Davao Region and have seen over 250 families come to Christ. They have feeding ministries for children in these eight sites, feeding about 400 children each month as a means of reaching them and their families with the Gospel of Christ. This ministry costs $10 per child. Please pray for them as they expand these ministries. Also pray for these children to be kept safe and protected. Their ministries are located about 70 miles from I.S.I.S. territory so the area children are being recruited to be part of their army. They need a truck to transport workers, church buildings for each mission, and monthly support. Please pray for them.
