Christian Pastor needs your help for heart surgery
Hi
I'm Malou Wilson. My husband is Rev. John J. Wilson (aka Pastor Jack) and we've been here working in the poorest area, Payatas, for 18 years.
He was recently diagnosed with heart failure which includes blockages and 35% usage of his heart.
We are missionaries to the Philippines and we have been working in the poorest area, Payatas, for all that time.
Of course as missionaries we have no savings, no medical and no bank account, and no way to pay for an operation. If we got the surgery here it would be about a million and a quarter pesos. ($25,000) Yet if we go back to the U.S., Medicare will cover much of it and we have friends who will put us up in their home.
Anything you can give will pay for our fare and expenses. We can not go without the funds so please give.
Please go to Payatasmissionoutreach.org or payatasbaptistchurch.org to see more about us. Donations are tax deductible.

We have reached our goal and want to thank all that gave. The balance was received in paypal and direct deposits to our bank account.
Any money that continues to come in will be redirected to our College fund for the students.
Thanks and God bless!

We received enough to buy our plane tickets. If I would have waited the price almost doubles. We will fly on April 30. We still have to raise money for expenses and the return flight. Please help!

I was in Church yesterday. I wanted to speak with one of our college students. I was told the student applied for a full time job. I asked, "don't you have money for your dorm and food?" the student replied yes. I then said so why do you want a job? Upon pressing the student answered, "Because you need money for your operation." I almost cried. I was so proud of that person. I said, God is in charge of getting the funding and even if He chose not to, it's not up to you. If you give me money I will just give it to the college fund.
The student is now free to concentrate on school. Thank you God. I am so thankful for loving members.

I spend most of my time in my recliner as too much activity makes it difficult to breath. As you see in the photo I am happy to be at the church. Especially to see all the children.
For those who remember, I used to be very heavy. It now looks like I am disappearing. Hopefully, I will get the surgery and gain some weight.
Thanks to the many generous people that are moving this along. God bless!
Update #2

One thing I hate to do is to try to raise money for the needs of those in Payatas. But really worse than that is to try to raise money for my own needs. Most of the time my family struggles by on my Social Security. An amount which is far less than other missionaries who have left the field with much more.
For eighteen years we have been "givers" We gave of ourselves, our finances and our time. I preached a sermon a couple of weeks ago on "Givers and Getters." It was about even the best givers will one day become a "Getter". They will need someone or something and they better hope they will get it.
It\s my time. I need to be a "Getter". there is quite a need that needs to be filled and it will happen, one donation at a time. Big or small.
I look forward to the givers to give, remembering that someday, you will be a "Getter" God Bless!

The decision to go to the U.S. to have my operation came after #1 my doctor in the Philippine heart center suggested it and #2 when I realized that my medicare would cover much of the cost.
I forgot to take my meds for a few hours the other day. I was alerted because I was having trouble breathing again.It took a couple of hours but it was fine after that. It only reminds me that I am depending on these pills to keep me going.
Donations are coming along and i am so appreciative of people who have given their own money to help me. It is amazing. People are good.
