SAVE ASIAN SOULS

Tanjay, Philippines

February 2020



Our mission started in Nov. 2019.  We are amazed at the changes in our world since we arrived in Asia.  Our construction in Mukdahan has gone well and the new safe house should be completed by June 2020.  We actually hope to move some girls in as early as May.  Our visits to Laos and Nepal were successful and rewarding.  Many lives and souls are being saved.



Then, the Coronavirus started and our life has been difficult ever since this horrible virus started.  We arrived in Tanjay, Philippines March 11th and planned to return to the USA on March 19th.  We were dreaming because we now have no idea when we will be able to return to the USA.  The nearest airport to Tanjay is Dumaguete. We received notice Sunday that the airport will be closed for up to 30 days with no flights to Cebu.  From Cebu we had planned to fly to Japan and on to Houston.  We came to Asia through Hong Kong but we cannot go back through Hong Kong for obvious reasons. We have moved from the hotel to a house of a friend to reduce our cost for the balance of our time here.



Several Christians in the US have written and asked what they could do to help us during this crisis and the only thing we can suggest is pray for us.  We are making every effort to avoid the virus and we think we have enough funds to purchase food for a month.  We will let you know of any other needs.  Eventually, there will be a shortage of food here because all food comes by ferry.  The ferry is not permitted to operate now.  My son has a very good vegetable and fruit garden.  We hope this will help provide food for many people.  See photos.



CONSTRUCTION OF THE PHILIPPINE SAFE HOUSE



The photos below show the progress of the new safe house for the Philippines. The new safe house in the Philippines will be self-sustaining with a fish pond growing fish, vegetable gardens and fruit orchids (papaya, bananas, mango and other fruits.) The facilities will not be totally self-sustaining. 




Since rice is grown in the local area it will be purchased directly from the farmers at reduced cost.  A program will be established with local retail stores whereby they will provide day old bread and bakery items free of charge for the girls in our care.  This is our basic plan for all areas but it has been slow in developing in Nepal.






We hope to stop the flow of girls to Japan brothels.  In the Philippines, prostitution is illegal, but the Philippine sex industry makes $6 billion a year — placing it 9th on the list of the top spenders on prostitution. (Ahead of it is China [$73 billion], Spain [$26.5 billion], Japan [$24 billion], and the United States [US$14.6 billion].)  Filipino girls are purchased by the Japan Mafia at under US$100 each in many cases.  These girls are destroyed by the Mafia.  We must do everything possible to save their lives and souls.  Our new building is a beginning point to save lives and souls of Filipino girls.


Each year, we visit with you or your congregation (our team members) and you give us a check to help save lives and souls of innocent Asian girls. Needless to say, we appreciate your support and prayers.  This year, if possible, we would like to ask you to mail the check now to Save Asian Souls, % Guaranty Bank, 3101 Wind River Ln., Denton, TX 76210. The funds will be deposited into Save Asian Souls account.  We, if we ever get a flight from the Philippines, will try to see you this summer.  We love and appreciate every member of our team.  You are important to reaching our goal.

BECOME A MEMBER OF OUR TEAM TODAY

If you are not a member of our team, please contact me and enroll in the saving of lives and souls of young innocent girls of Asia.  No, we cannot save all the girls around the world (37 million sex slaves in 2020) but we can save many from death and hell with your help.  Please let us know today that you want to be a part of this good work for the Lord.



In His service,



Ron & Pat Brown with over two hundred team members making a life for poor Asian girls and giving them hope of eternal life.
