Frank and Japhia Denisi continue faithfully serving in the Philippines, seeing God bless their church with growth, baptisms, and expanded ministry opportunities.
During their recent annual church camp, approximately 250 campers from their church attended. Five young people from a northern church plant followed the Lord in believer’s baptism under the leadership of Pastor Emmanuel. In January alone, nine new converts were baptized. They are preparing for a special opening revival in April for the northern church launch and are praying for many souls to be saved.
The Denisís have a full ministry calendar, including ministering to Filipinos in Hong Kong, youth camps in Mindanao and Cebu, Vacation Bible School (planning for 400 children), and a medical mission on March 21 with a goal of reaching 500 patients and personally sharing the Gospel with each one.
They also rejoice in the testimony of a young man named Shaun, who was saved after being invited to church and has since surrendered to preach. Additionally, they are witnessing the growth of Filipino missionaries being sent around the world, including one of their men preparing to go to Taiwan.
God has also provided practical blessings, including a new rental house and record indigenous missions giving through their church.
Pray for the April church launch revival and for many souls to be saved.
Pray for the upcoming youth camps, Vacation Bible School (400 children), and the March 21 medical mission (500 patients).

Pray for an influential couple studying the Bible with them, that they would trust Christ.
Pray for Frank’s father’s health and for the Mindanao church plant leadership.
