IMM at work in Philippines

International Miners Mission Australia representative, Peter Robertson, and his team based in Perth, have established a strong foothold in the Philippines, where there are many mining operations. The Philippines is made up of many islands, some of them very remote. The IMM are now sponsoring 3 teams of 2 evangelists each to go out to some of the mines. Some of the places visited are difficult to reach, as the roads are not much better than tracks.

IMM (Australia) have appointed Bishop Dr. Joy Bendoy as the IMM adviser. He undertakes the supervision, coordination, finances and collecting of reports from the 6 evangelists and is frequently on the move round the islands. He has a doctorate in missiology from a U.S. university.

In September 2009 a Christian conference was held in Cebu, at which Peter Robertson and Bob Boska held training sessions on evangelism for some 60 pastors. These are vital in the IMM's view as they encourage and enable local pastors in their work. Visiting miners in the places where they live and work is very hard and challenging. The costs of travelling are high. Please pray for this vital ministry
