Hello!
This August, I will be leading a trip to the Philippines with 8 others from SWBIBLE. We are looking forward to sharing the gospel and partnering with local churches in the Philippines. My previous experiences in the Philippines, Iceland, Central Asia, and various other parts of the world have been incredibly enriching, and I have learned so much from them when partnering with other believers around the world. I am excited to share this experience with many of the young people that are on our team.

While I am not raising funds for this trip, I am pleased to share that Mariam from our Uzbekistan team will be joining us. I would love for you to support her as she makes the journey from Tashkent, Uzbekistan to the Philippines.

Thank you all for your prayers and support over the years. May God be glorified in the Philippines, Central Asia, and beyond.

- Matt

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
Jude 1:24-25
