Vision for Missions (VFC)

After a recent trip to the Philippines, Paul and Mary Wilson were encouraged by the growth of the churches there on the islands of Negros, Patawan, and Panay. Negros Island has 117 churches with many faithful leaders that the Wilsons were able to visit and minister to again. During their trip, Paul was able to speak at an annual youth event with over 1,000 delegates. 

While visiting the Visayas School of Leadership College, Paul was able to teach the book of Acts to 13 students. These young men come to many week long classes several times during a two-year training program. Between class times they are in a directed supervised study at their homes under the supervision of VSL teachers. There are six students from Negros enrolled at two Bible colleges on Cebu Island. The task of training new leaders is never complete and is essential for more church growth.

Mary greatly enjoys visiting several schools, teachers, and students to see the great help that the books, school supplies, clothing, and other special items she sends to the Philippines to use in the classrooms. Oh, what joy we see from this ministry among the schools and churches!

It is a great joy to see the new churches that are being started in the Philippines! Each trip is an opportunity to encourage the preachers and elders to start new churches and to be active in discipleship training for all their church members.
