Prayer Mountain Bohol Mission Testimony

Backstory on the Bohol Mission

Four Focuses in 2022

God recently asked me to focus on FOUR PROJECTS right now:

1. A Family House

The Lord said he would send us some money and to FIRST build a church. I made a simple model. No confirmation of where to plant this church. Maybe San Isidro where we used to live, or maybe Loboc? Loboc is far away and he said make a church there but up in the hills not down where it often floods. Not sure if this is now or later. Its hard to have a new plant so far away right now. San Isidro has a lot of people we know and land is plentiful I think.
The Family House he gave me many ways to make it large but on a low budget. I made many versions and got tired of planning things for myself but he said its important since this will be training center for the next generation of leaders and ministers. We’ve also lived in 13 houses in about 9 years and often face eviction and abuse from landlords, not to mention what happened in Hong Kong. So this maybe be a form of recompense and compensation as well. Details are here.

2. Bethsaida Fish Farm.

One of first major projects the Lord asked me to do is a fish farm to grow red grouper for sale in the regional live fish market in Hong Kong.

He has shown us suitable land and given us many details of this planning, including the main species to grow, the general size of the farm ( 2 hectares / 5 acres), the size and shape of main grow-out tanks (2m x 20m), the general start-up budget, earnings from the first sales trip (HK$19m), and he also named it Bethsaida, meaning ‘House of Fish.’

Summary Materials were prepared in 2018 for the Bethsaida Investment Presentation July 2018 v2, and the Bohol Vision Sharing 3-26-18. These need to be updated of course.

A more complete brief is here.

3. 50 House housing development.

Start as soon as you find the land … average price P7m … 50 houses, it will  make me feel like home. Vision I saw was from neighborhood where I grew up.

4. EEJ-Design / EEJ Imagineering

Unclear exactly but I think he said EEJ-Design, our planning team. Just need to confirm this.
