Tommy and Jen Behman share how the Lord has clearly placed them in a spiritually dark and challenging area of the Philippines, while also opening meaningful doors for gospel ministry. In response to rising concerns over teen pregnancy and moral confusion, they were invited to begin chapel services and teach sex education at a local school from a biblical worldview, revealing deep spiritual needs among both boys and girls. Though the realities of sin and opposition have been sobering, they rejoice in seeing young people seeking out Bible study on their own, some traveling long distances to attend, and others from different religious backgrounds showing interest in the gospel. Through it all, the Behmans testify that God has confirmed His calling and is already softening hearts as they seek to be a light in the darkness.
Pray for wisdom, protection, and boldness as the Behmans minister to young people facing strong moral and spiritual challenges.
Pray for the boys and girls at the local school, that God’s truth would take root in their hearts and lead them to salvation and healing.
Pray for the young men and children who are seeking Bible study, that they would continue to grow in understanding and faith.
Pray for protection for tribal friends (the Mangyan people) as another typhoon approaches, especially as they recover from previous storms.
Pray for upcoming travel plans as the family prepares for a short furlough in the United States in June 2026.
