***Note from the admins (friends of Tina & Anthony):

The missionary life that the Santiago-Rodriguezes have embraced - oftentimes a life of total abandonment to Divine Providence - is certainly not easy, especially during times of medical crisis such as these. Your help will go a long way in easing the heavy burden of rising hospital bills & the medical expenses of 8 more people sick at home. Thank you so much & God bless you! ***

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, TINA & ANTHONY!!! 🎉🎊🍷❤️

HERE’S THE LATEST UPDATE FROM TINA:

“In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health.” Thank You, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph for journeying with us all these years!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for our family as all of us battle COVID, especially my Papa Mon Santiago and Mama Teresita Santiago. 🙏🏻

As we celebrate our anniversary today, may we request for your continued prayers for all who need healing? (There are so many people who do, we know!😭) Let’s also pray for our frontliners who are overwhelmed right now, and for those who can’t even afford proper medical care. 🙏🏻 Let’s continue to pray for those affected by #OdettePH too — so many still don’t have electricity, water, access to food and relief goods!!!!

LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US ALL!

P.S. Sorry we haven’t been able to reply to everyone’s messages!!! If you want to be updated on our journey, especially for Papa’s hospitalization journey, please follow Help Team JMJ fb.me/helpteamjmj, which was set up by our dear friends who requested that I not mention them here. Thank you!🙏🏻💝
