This update is from Randy Bloom, director of GCI Church Multiplication Ministries (CMM).
Thanks for praying for the Tabins – our prayers have been answered! (click here for the request). U.S. Homeland Security and Immigration have given approval for the Tabins to immigrate to the U.S. to start a new GCI congregation within the Filipino community in Southern California.
The Tabins have been planning for over two years to make this move. Angie will serve initially as an assistant pastor in New Hope Christian Fellowship, the GCI congregation in Eagle Rock, CA pastored by Glen Weber. She and Sadie will focus on starting the new church by reconnecting with the small groups they started on a previous visit.
The Tabins will bring with them their children Hebert Angelo (18) and Hazel Ann (12). Please pray that their move and other aspects of the transition to life in the U.S. go well and that their church planting efforts will bear much fruit to God’s glory.
Congratulations!
This is encouraging news. We will pray for you two and your children during this major move. We’re grateful for you and look forward to your participating with Jesus in making new disciples through a new church.
Ken and Nancy
