Billy Owens anxious for the Phillipines

A missionary from Oconee County is anxious to return to the Philippines—land that he has grown to love and where his wife was forced into makeshift quarters because of the typhoon. Billy Owens says he has his ticket to fly and is hopeful that between now and next month the main airport at Manila will re-open for commercial flights. Owens, a missionary for both Unity Baptist Church and Lighthouse Mission Church, says he has now received two phone calls from his wife, Irena—the latest of which came Saturday night.
