Here’s the most recent PAMI publication, which includes highlights from the EBI partition and Bulan partition on page 1, and highlights of Ptr Gumer’s ministries on page 2:
April 2018 PAMI Newsletter
Note that Ptr Gumer could use sponsor(s) to cover his $200/month allowance (travel and family living expenses) and $25/month milk feedings, which are currently just covered from PAMI’s general budget. He has sponsors for his housing and radio time, but not for the rest of his expenses. In addition to what’s on page 2 of the newsletter, many more nice pictures from Ptr Gumer are located below. These include photos of the April 7th Rock for Jesus Battle of the Bands held at Irosin Public Auditorium, an April 17th Mabini crusade with mini-concert, March 12-13 Camilig relief distributions and film showings, and other film showings. Ptr Gumer has been very active with film showings using equipment and films provided by Vernacular Video Ministries. Praise the Lord that many people attend these film showings, and respond by raising their hands to commit themselves to Jesus.
A second Rock for Jesus Battle of the Bands was held 5-11 pm April 7 at Irosin Public Auditorium, with 5 Christian bands competing and 300+ attending, similar to last year. In addition to being a ministry event, its goal was to fundraise for welding equipment for Out-of-School Youth 3E’s (Education, Earning and Engagement) Program, which teaches youth shielded metal arc welding while discipling them to be soldiers of God.
