our hall in la castelana is nearly finished i get to see the new hall praise the lord for his faith full workers willing to do the work we have 4 men doing all the work that belong to the church in la castelana


i get to see the block of land we have invested in my fiancee has brought a block of land one of our members who has his own farm is looking after the block of land we invested in we have invested in some crops and when they come to season with the money made we tend to put the money into our church in la castelana

i wil be preaching the whole month i am their as i am being raised to work beside my fiancee i tend to take as much pressure of her while i am their

we have had a growth spurt our youth group has grown from 20 young people to 50 young people our sunday school has grown from 15 to 100 kids and we have new members so i wil be bussy getting to know the young people the new kids and the new members my best man is comming with me his name is edwin if it was not for him saying i want to help and take the pressure of me and kristina we would have had to cancel the wedding edwin has payed for the wedding cost plane ticket for my suit hire which is all black i picked the suit up on thursday the rent for the 2 bed room unit and the extra added on price for the wedding cake and car hire and function though i put my foot down and told kristina to tel the manager to the golf club enough rorting me he knows i am an aussie our aussie dollar has dropped i said no more supprises i have our rings and she has her wedding dress one of our deakons made the wedding dress i hate wearing suits but i am going to have to get use to it its her day not mine i am left with the bill

i wil be keeping in contac with brother researcher i stil have no answer if she is willing to alow the photos to be put in this forum so when i get the ok i wil email brother researcher i had a talk with her and said that i would like to put a photo of us and our church and the members in this forum so she is thinking about it

i have asked brother researcher to put a new topic up in this forum


i am not going to be near a computer at al for the month that i wil be in the philippines the only chance i wil get is when i am giving the go ahead to send two wedding pics and a photo of our church and our members which should happen on the 21 st of dec 2008


god has been good and i am great full for what he has done in my life he has given me a god fearing women who is a pastor and she loves me he has given me a new family and my mother in law and father in law love me to death this is going to be my first time i have had christmas with a family

i told kristina that i have gone to the unitting church in Armidale and spent christmas with folk like my self who have no family the unitting church in Armidale new south wales has been doing this for the last 13yrs the whole comunity buisness and retail stores get behind the pastor and the elder who started this off he has a good team of helpers from the local comunity come assist on christmass day around 400 hundred familys come to the unitting church for christmas day and we spend the whole day just talking plus the dinner is good that is dished out by martin and the team under him

kristina has a big family 32 all up she has been praying that god wil just show me how much she loves me and how much her family love me i have been on my own since i was young i am 41yrs old

so this is going to be a new experiance seeing how my new wife and in laws and the members celebrate christmas and new years eve in a new country that i never expected to be getting ready to live in once my citizenship is aproved i plan to do this in nov 2009 i wil be away from hear for 3months this time and hope fully by the end of 2010 i wil be getting ready to leave Australia


i would appreciate your prayers no personal attacs telling me i should be not raised to work beside my new wife who is a pastor the reason i did not want to put anything hear is due to the legalism i have seen in some of the posts in this forum and the fear that is running rampart to be honest i am comming close to clossing my account i have only been refreshed and ecnoruaged by a few members who i respect and pray for

we wil be on QANTAS AND with its record of planes braking down i pray no hick ups on monday the 1st when we board our plane at sydney air port one Qantas plane crashed with passangers and sevral have been grounded so please pray for my saftey and edwins saftey

thank you everyone for your encouragment thank you C7A your posts truely touch me and bless and what you said to me sister i have grabbed hold of this thank you you do shine through your posts you leave in this forum even though i dont leave anything i know christs spirit is evident in you


please continue praying kristina is in need of rest and i tend to take as much pressure of her as i can so we can focus on our day instead of meeting demands that are almost impossible and can only be done with gods help

pastors in the philippines work hard its souls if you are not winning souls into the kingdom you can be replaced this i tend to adress with the main pastor to were i have suport for the pastors instead of the pastors doing all the leg work the males are listening to me and the male pastors are behind me so pray what i have to say the main pastor hears me


we dont put this pressure on our pastors in australia like what i have seen and this is something i did not want placed on me i have good god fearing men in my church telling me to stay clear from that spirit even my pastor in the church i am in while working abroad and the assistant pastor guiding me

pray as i guide the males in our church they begin to take up the mantle to were they surrender and deal with what needs to be dealt with pray as i share my full testimony god speaks through me i wil be speaking to all the members and sharing my full version

i am very head strong and kristina is the same she said the guy she dumped was not head strong like i am i speak what is on my mind i dont speak from the heart thats the way i have been and i tend not to change because men are scared to take up the mantle she has done her best and i dont hate her or wil i tel her to step down to were i take on the responsabiltys we are going to work side by side ussing what god has given us to be effective

i did not want the role as pastor but because kristina is the head pastor i am having to accept the calling over my life i was happy just being her husband and supporting her from the side lines so this is all new for me

i am talking with kristina and she is thinking i wil contac brother researcher on the 21st of dec this is when i wil get the permission to place our wedding picks hear my best man wil down load what he takes on his computer and the picks wil be ready and he wil contac researcher if i cant get near a computer

with christmas coming up fast inter net caffee shut down on christmass eve christmas day and boxing day

one prayer need pray for my best man his name is edwin i want him to be refreshed this man lost his wife in 2007 she died from cancer we were all trusting that god would heal victoria but god new what he was doing and we have had to accept his choice i would rarther have had victoria be healed she got real bad lost her hair lost weight could not speak clear the kemo really knocked her around edwin and victoria took me into their home what i know is from victoria very wise very good teacher victoria taught me a lot and i thank her that is why i am head strong and say what is on my mind when i am involved in a topic and i dont back down or say sorry

i am praying as he steps of the plane on the 1st of dec he lets god speak to him i know god is going to brake edwin shake him up and take him out of his comfort zones edwin goes to a traditional church we are very charasmatic penticostal i prepared edwin i have been talking to edwin and i told him what he is going to see wil have its effect in his life

he has not fulley let go he is letting god deal with certain things that come to the surface he just finished reading the shack and he told me it challanged him he has a women living with him who is not a christian very pig headed this one is she has pushed al his friends away from him she owns two homes her husbands died when her second husband died the fedral police took her computer and went over it they driled her questioned her she is what i call a hermit very rude wants things her way she has covered all victorias photos with christmass wrappings i am not happy i live in the back in the kit home she has tried to rattle my cage put me down sevral times until i said something to her edwin knows what i am like and out of respect i did not say nothing for the first two months when i first moved in but on the 6 month is when i said something i rebuke the spirit in her her name is yen edwin has a soft heart very kind man he is very bright and good with computers yen sleeps in the spare room not with edwin he has slept with her once i told him to repent and tell her to stay in that spare room and not let her walk over him he is trying to be strong to were she does not walk over him

i am puting this prayer request up due to sevral hear who i know who do pray i thank you for your prayers you know who you are and i ask that you pray for edwin he wil be with us for 2 weeks he comes back to australia on the 20th of dec 2008

i want edwin to be touched i want edwin to receive healing i want edwin to forgive him self and i want edwin to un wind

yen needs to go and i am praying that edwin deals with that fear victoria wore the pants edwin wants to be like me but he has been like this for a long time i have known edwin since i was 18yrs old he is the unitting churches treasurrer helps out at the church victorias ashes are layed she left a fair bit of money to saint marks they built a new prayer room have a pic of her in the prayer room this is were her heart was she was studying just about to gradute to become a chaplin she would preach and lead the worship and help the pastor at saint marks edwin does the sound every saturday afternoon

he has been a blessing and its through edwin our needs have been met

he wil be involved in what i do i wil take him to the prison in bacolod and he is going to share his testimony he wil be involved in our friday night prayer meeting and saturday 5am prayer meeting


again thank you every one for your encouragment and prayers our wedding is at 9am on the 18th of jan 2008 in the main church in Bacolod and our function is at the golf club kristinas aunty flew in from honkong she works in honkong and krstina looks after her kids her aunty has two of her own kids and has adopted sevral girls and a boy her aunty wil be doing al the cooking with my father in law and her uncle helping he is a good cook

i tried my suit on i hate wearing suits its only going to be on for one day i had to get a bigger shirt due to the guys i hired my suit mucking up and not listening to me

i am going to have my church pray over me on sunday 30th of nov and when i come home i will be packing what i need to bring with me i wil be up early i know i wil be tossing and turning we saw each other last jan the 29th 2008

one important request 2 of dec we have an apointment with the australian philippines embacy in manila we wil be filling the CNI form pray no hick ups occur we have a marriage course to sit in on and her main pastor who came back from america wil be talking to us and doing the wedding

as i said its her day more than my day i want her to be stress free i want god to refresh her and take the pressure she is under know off her she is a strong god fearing women she is only 32 i love her and i am doing my best to sheild her

from damo

Damo,

We are a family...a forum family. Sometimes we have been the black sheep of the family and sometimes we look like angels in comparison...(with? Put a name in the blank.) One thought that you posted which has stuck with me is when you disagree with another poster than you go on your soap box. You tell the whole forum what has been bugging you. In short, you are allowed (for a moment) to be a Christian with an attitude.

Damo, Gods blessings on your marriage to your future bride. How beautiful she must be.

I hope you enjoy this video: " What happens when God fearing woman get the blues..." A video with an attitude. Please accept my apologize's if I have ever given you an attitude:

In Christian Love,

Al

thank you Adeline watched it down loaded it and i wil play it to the female pastors in the philippines my best man is bringing his lap top with him

no you dont need to be sorry i know you have had it hard like me adeline and i am ok with you and sevral of the women hear

you have always been encouraging i am too head strong i dont think from the heart like some do i say what is on my mind and that is something kristina has also noticed we are both head strong like a perfect match that is scaring some of the members the guy she was seeing before she ended the relationship was a male pastor kristina said he was not like me she wanted a guy like me so its going to take time for the members in our church to get to know me epecialy the men the women are all god fearing while the men are very quiet i tend to change that

contac researcher i am going to know send researcher an email and i wil let him send you the wedding picks or if you want he can pass you my personal email adress Adeline


take care dont let no one walk over you look down on you dont be scared to stand up and speak up never be pushed into a corner sister you are one of the people i can see his spirt is evident in your life


thanks take care



God bless from damo
