John, I appreciate the fun of the contests. My wife and I live in the Philippines. It is usually 12 hours ahead of most places in the states. So it is Friday morning here.
I was born in Jersey, lived most of my life in Virginia. My background is engineering, but my wife and I have been in the Philippines now for almost 4 years and plan on staying.
We are missionaries without a missions organization. Living by faith! We farm, raise chickens and have fruit trees and gardens to provide food for the household and we give away the rest.
I was told when we came here, that the people who originally sent us and promised support would forget us. I couldn’t believe it to be true, but sadly it is.
But God sends us new and better friends along the way.
We have children’s Ministries. We teach them about Jesus, feed and clothe those who need it. Jail, drug addicts and many more outreaches.
I love what we do and truly love the people of the Philippines.
Thanks for asking!
God bless!
Daddy William
My wife, our son and I.

what a beautiful family! Do you mind if I ask your wife and sons names? And how long have you been married? Hearing your reply makes me so happy that I asked the question. You just became one of my new Heroes. People who live their lives off of faith and love for other people are the most awesome people in the world. What was the toughest thing to adjust to after moving? And also, other than your ministry which must be give you the greatest joy in the world, what is your favorite thing down there? And thank you for doing our creators work down here on our precious Earth. I hope to see you around even more. And may our Creator continue to bless you and yours.
My wife’s name is Ronafe and my son is Roque. We are actually in the process of adopting him. We got him when he was 15 months old. He will be 5 in August. He is my joy! Teaching me of the love of a father and the love of a son. My wife is from this area. We live in one of the most dangerous areas of the Philippines. But this is where God sent us, so I am Ok with that.
Two things I would always give to anyone is a meal or a bible. Just in this region called Misamis Occidental, I found out there are 70,000 families with not one bible in their home. So one thing I am believing God for 70,000 bibles. In 4 years we have already given away 7,000 bibles, so we ate 10% of the way.
So other than ministry my enjoyment is my family here and a few friend I met since we have been here.
God bless!
You are a very positive person. And I know that comes from the Creator. I think it's awesome that you maintain such a high level of happiness. And thank you for doing such great work there. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around more. Have a great day and I send you and all of yours all of my love.
Thank you! Gotta love a man that is not afraid to express some love!
God bless!
