God is good. Praise his holy name. God is love, 1 John 4:11-18. Since God is love and
his spirit dwells in me, that love has to flow out of me. I have no choice but to show and tell the hurting people of this world. This is why we are building Philippine Village in
Cebu. To tell and show these people how good and loving God is. Listen to what Jesus said when asked which command in the laws is the most important. Matt 22:37-40 "Love the Lord God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these
two commands hang all the laws and the prophets." Everything we do depends on us obeying these two commandments, In them are the answers to all things.
In love (God) is all the answers, the world and the people of this world are hurting but we have the cure. In God is the answers to poverty, sickness, hunger, lack,
death, and any hopelessness. There are thousands of people and children in the Philippines that need so much, they have nothing. Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge." We have to proclaim that God is love and in him is all the answers. We are so blessed to have been given a vision and knowledge for them and the world.
The place we are building will have people coming
that are hungry. They will be fed. People coming that are sad, they will be made happy. People coming that need clothes, they will be clothed. People coming that need food, they will leave with
food. People coming that need a job, will learn a trade. People coming that need a place to live, will find rest. People coming that need medical care, will find healing. People coming that
need a church, will find God. Kids coming that don't have parents or a home, will find a family and a place to live. This is the church of Jesus Christ.
When God shows me what Philippine Village is to be like I see happy people. I see people that are made whole. I see kids laughing, swinging on the swings in our park.
I see people going to the prayer chapel at the top of the hill to pray and to watch the whales and dolphins in the ocean below. I see workers cutting bananas from our
1,000 trees. I see a church that never closes, that has services day and night. I see people just sitting around on benches talking and listening to music coming from the speakers in the trees.
We are making progress getting the land paid for. We are a little over half paid. We can't start building until the land is paid off. I need 40 people that will give $1,000
each during this year. This will pay off the land and allow us to start building. The devil has fought us hard for this land, the stories are unbelievable. However, we can
do all things in Christ. I've never known such joy and purpose in my life until I started giving to this vision. I want you to know the same. Call, write, or email us
and let us know you are one of the 40.
My present job is a janitor. I clean apartments,
houses and buildings to help support this ministry while preparing to move to Cebu with my wife Jocelyn and 4-month-old son Joshua. I study, pray, and seek God as I wait to transition to full time
missionary. Mike Murdock said something I will never forget, "In order to have something you never had, you have to do something you have never done."
Here at Philippine Vision we see God's love all the time through people. We received a phone call from a lady named Lee-Ann. She said she had seen our website
and that her and her children wanted to send some clothes and toys to the kids. I told her thank you after talking with her awhile. A couple of days later she called
back and told me she mentioned this to the principal at her kids public grade school. The principal asked her if the school could help also. She had Lee-Ann address the
school children and ask them to collect toys and clothes. They collected 12 boxes of items to be sent. Now Lee-Ann is trying to figure out how to ship all these boxes.
The school contacted her and said they would pay the shipping. The toys and clothes are in the hands of kids in the Philippines now. Most of these kids have
never had a toy or new clothes before. Thank you Lee-Ann and kids!
We are looking for people and other ministries that want to work with us in Cebu.
Remember this is God's land and is to be used by many ministries. Thank you for your support and prayers. God said it, I believe it, I receive it. God bless you, Darold Dotson.
