Elise Long ministers among the Palawano people of the Philippines. “Over 200 Palawanos gathered for our Egis-Egis Camp (riverside camp)! ... What a joy to see five guys [from village M] lead the discussion groups after the messages, preached by Palawanos, Reshal and Jeboy! Groups of men, women, youth and children all engaged as they discussed ‘Loving Family.’” Praise the Lord for this time of fellowship and growth.

During the camp, “a very difficult family issue arose,” but the situation was handled in a godly way. “Please pray for the emerging leaders of the M church as they navigate their role in these kinds of issues and as they interact with the people group leaders and traditional justice systems. These systems are not always congruent with biblical truths.”
