A Time of Rejoicing and Prayer


Hello all,

            I realize that many of you who are reading this email, have never met Grandma Mary, but this morning she passed away and is now in heaven praising and worshiping her Lord and Savior. Grandma Mary is Nanay’s mother and the woman who brought Tatay to Christ. She has lived here in the Philippines for over 20 years now. This last December we celebrated her 90th birthday! While I did not meet her in her heyday, from the many stories I have been told, she was an incredible and godly woman.

            As Christians, death has no sting. We are not left with the what if’s. We have full assurance, she is in the presence of God. In that, we rejoice! Selfishly, our hearts mourn the loss of Grandma. I ask that in this hard time, you would keep Nanay and Tatay in your prayers as Grandma played a major role in both of their lives. Please pray for the all the leadership and manangs, many of them have grown up with Grandma as their grandmother. And lastly for all the little Rosmarinos, that they would just understand and not be confused by what is going on.

“So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” 
                        2 Corinthians 5:6-9

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.”
                        Philippians 3:20-21


God Bless and much love, Kelsey
