Official Opening of the NEOS Library

     On August 30, 2010, the NEOS Library was officially opened to the public.   We even had a book fair and a members orientation workshop.   We are hoping that more and more people will come to NEOS to use the awesome library.  
    

    



We need more high school and college text books.


This will help make the NEOS library a place where students can come and study and find the resource materials that they need to do their assignments.

  


     Please pray that God will use the NEOS library to touch the hearts of people in Tagum City for Jesus Christ.  

Kindergarten at Faith Academy Mindanao

Val and her 'kinders'
Party for Mrs. Boado's last
day in Kindergarten
      
     From August 1 until August 20, 2010, Valerie was the kindergarten teacher at Faith Academy Mindanao in Davao City.   She was asked to teach until the regular teacher was able to arrive from her home country.  




         Val had a marvelous time and thinks that maybe it is about time for her to get back into the classroom on a full-time basis.  


     Val used the NEOS Bible Curriculum For All Ages to tell the Bible stories for her classroom.  It was a wonderful success.  Val was delighted to see the children have fun learning what God did on each day of Creation.   


     Please find details in the NEOS Fellowship Center blog on how to order your own copies of Val's Bible curriculum books.

                        Pastor Mike has now done three weddings.   These three couples are now married due to the ministry of the NEOS Fellowship Center.  
  
     Please pray that NEOS can continue to help couples go to the altar in order to join their lives in holy matrimony.  

Mike's First Official Wedding


     On July 8, 2010, Pastor Mike Boado officiated his first wedding.  Brian and Nenncar now live in the NEOS facility in one of the boarding rooms.   

     Brian drives a pedicab that belongs to NEOS.  This pedicab is a motorcycle with a side-car that is driven as a commercial vehicle.   Brian uses it to provide for his family and it also gives NEOS a little extra income each month.   
     We are doing as much as we can to help NEOS financially right here in Tagum.   We are very grateful to Brian and Nenncar for their part at NEOS.   Please pray for this young couple as they grow in Jesus.   

Ro-Ann's Wedding

  

      On June 29, 2010, one of our former NEOS students and teachers, Ro-Ann Valera, got married in Tagum City.   It was such a joy for our family to be a part of the wonderful celebration.

   Melissa Boyken arrived in Tagum on June 24, 2010.   She is now very involved in the NEOS ministry as well as our family.   Melissa goes to NEOS on a regular basis just like one of the NEOS staff.   She helps with all of the children's ministries as well as the youth ministries.   Melissa is also being a big help as she is the one in charge of DeeAnn's homeschooling for now.   We are all very glad that Melissa is here with us in Tagum.   Melissa plans to stay in Tagum until May of 2011.
