Philippines Mission trip:
127 accept Jesus Christ

Love In Action President/Pastor and Vice President Ken and Martha Tuck and LIA Board Member Susie "Mama" Tuck traveled to the Philippines, Jan. 20-27, to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was an amazing trip as 127 people accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. They were guest speakers at the Shiloh Bible Baptist Church family of churches' first Pastor/Missionary Workers Conference. Indigenous missionaries from other churches attended as well. The conference was held in Sindangan, and 98 people attended. It was an incredible time of encouragement and teaching. While in Sindangan, Pastor Ken preached two Sunday services and an evangelistic service in which 10 people received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Then the LIA team traveled throughout four provinces on the island of Mindanao and preached the Gospel. They had the great honor of preaching and sharing their testimonies at four Phlippine Army camps, and 93 soldiers received Jesus as their Lord and Savior, including seven Muslims and a high-ranking Army official. Praise God! Dalaygon ang Diyos!
Love In Action has helped these pastors over the past year reach the lost in the Philippines, and following this trip, the support will be even greater. There are 65 million people in the Philippines who have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and they are so open to receiving the message of Jesus. These pastors and missionaries are doing an incredible work. Please keep them in your prayers and help us support them. More information will becoming within the next week about some of Love In Action's plans to reach the lost in the Philippines through these mighty men and women of God.

Adopt-A-Block

Love In Action's Adopt-A-Block is making a big impact in the neighborhood surrounding the LIA Ministry Center in downtown Dothan. Every Saturday, teams of volunteers go into the neighborhood to serve the people. Volunteers pick up trash each week, and have raked yards and performed house repairs. We also deliver items such as food and blankets to help those in need in this impoverished neighborhood. Many prayers are prayed each week as well. The people now look forward to us coming out to see them each Saturday. By serving the needy, Love In Action is showing people the love of Jesus Christ and it is making a difference. We are forming relationships with many people, and it is a blessing. As Pastor Matthew Barnett of the Los Angeles Dream Center said, "Once you put yourself in another man's world you will never be the same." That is so true. Adopt-A-Block is every Saturday at 9:45 a.m. Come and join us share the Gospel of Jesus Christ through acts of compassion with the needy of Dothan.

Laundry Ministry

Each week the Love In Action Laundry Ministry washes up to 20 loads of clothes. It is another way to be a blessing to the homeless and the work release inmates we minister to. Pictured above, Mama Tuck and Scherrly wash clothes. Scherrly lives in the neighborhood around the the LIA Ministry Center. She accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior during our Thanksgiving outreach. She is now at the ministry center nearly every time the doors are open volunteering her time to help others.

Wrist bands for orphans

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." - James 1:27 (NIV)
Love In Action traveled to Shell, Ecuador in October to work at the Casa de Fe orphanage. The staff at Casa de Fe does an incredible job of caring for these precious orphans. As you can imagine, the expenses for taking care of nearly 60 children are high. Love In Action is dedicated to helping Casa de Fe. We have been there and witnessed for ourselves the great work they do. By purchasing wrist bands in the photo above, you will be helping the orphans at Casa de Fe.
