Greetings from Cebu!
Our heart is overflowing with gratitude at how God is blessing Life Coffee House & Library.
I took this photo after closing time on Saturday night at Life Coffee House & Library. With over 1200 books inside we can still use more!
Library! In January, we finished renovations and begin training our full time and part time workers.
On February 1st at lunch time, my church mate and I officially ordered the first meals ever ordered at the coffee house. I ordered a Life Tuna Melt w/ veggies and my friend ordered a Heavenly Ham & Cheese.
We are serving premium Philippines coffee in an effort to help our local farmers and are also serving a variety of shakes, desserts, sandwiches and today for our young professionals we introduced a Chicken Curry Rice Meal that they really enjoyed.
Deuteronomy 26:9 & 11
"He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; ... Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household."

All this is organic growth as we've not done any marketing, advertising or promotions yet. We are still working to get better at our process and system, finding the right venders and adding a few more needed staff to help us cover the 77+ operating hours. These are ALL prayer pointers!
We are SO grateful that after a week or so we were able to buy a needed air conditioner. Thanks to EACH of you for your continued prayers and support.
Coli and I visiting Shane earlier today. For 21 days, he's battled for his life in the ICU. He's now home and praying to play Upward Basketball this summer!! Pray with us!

In today's service I noticed at least one person who was in church as a direct result of Life Coffee House and this Monday night will be our 3rd night of our weekly ESL (English as a Second Language) outreach.
Again, all this is possible because of God's grace, guidance and provision!
We are thrilled!
On a personal note please pray for Coli's dad, Ray Shell.
He had a hip operation about 5 weeks ago and a stroke about 3 weeks ago. The word is he's in rehab and recovering but still unable to move well or talk as well as before.
As you can imagine, we are praying for his total and complete recovery!
It's also our desire to be able to do a short 6 week home visit this summer in order to visit him and attend a few key services and events.
Please be in prayer that God will provide healing and the emergency funds to cover this unexpected summer travel.
Again, thank you for your continued prayers and monthly support!

[Editor's Comment: It was my delight and pleasure to spend some quality time with Al Argo in Beijing, China in 2015 for the Fifth Global Summit. What a fascinating and knowledgeable young man. There is no question in my mind about his calling and commitment to be a missionary. I believe he is for real, genuine and trustworthy of your prayers and financial support.
Let is as an international body of believers lift up Coli's dad, Ray Shell. We believe that God specializes in things thought impossible, and He can do for Ray Shell what no other power can God. We serve a big and awesome God. Let's trust Him for our brother's divine healing and glowing health.]
