Ex-Muslim Leads 100,000 to Jesus:
 'There Is Hunger in the Muslim World to Hear About Christ' 
Harun Ibrahim was born in Israel to Arab-Muslim parents, studied in a Jewish school, and married a devout Christian woman.  After years of examining these religions, he was faced with a choice: Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.  Ibrahim ultimately made a decision to follow Christ, thanks to his praying wife and a timely encounter with a random man on the street.  Ibrahim recalled the conversation during an appearance on the 700 Club. The man told him, "'Well, you are not going to be in the kingdom of God because Jesus said that no one will come to the Father except through Him.' And I really didn't like that," he recounted. "I said, 'You are rude.'"

The man began to share the Gospel with the young Muslim and challenged him to actually read the Bible.  "He challenged me to read this Bible verse, and it was in the Gospel of John. And I read the Gospel of John seven times in a row. I just like really loved the person called Jesus. I couldn't resist. I just had to accept him as my redeemer, as my Savior," he shared. Ibrahim began to burn with a desire to share the Gospel with Muslims and served many years as a missionary reaching Muslims in the Arab nations. He later started Al Hayat Ministries in 2003 to boldly preach the Gospel and challenge Islam. Since then, the ministry has seen more than 100,000 come to faith in Jesus Christ.(CBN) Read More Here and Watch Interview > 
Lord, we rejoice at the great news of 100,000 Muslims converting into Christianity through insightful discussions and hearing the gospel! We ask Your hedge of protection upon each brother and sister and also upon Harun Ibrahim, Director of Al Hayat Ministries. We declare Your blood-covering is hovering over the work of this ministry, and those sharing the gospel, for a continual harvest of believers into the Kingdom of God. We agree that each newly converted soul will share the gospel with other muslims so they too will be transformed by Your Word. Quicken the souls of those whom You are calling and cause them to thirst for intimately knowing Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior! By the powerful Blood and holy Name of Yeshua, we pray- Amen and Amen.

"So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; It shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)

SCOTUS allows Texas to use Trump-pushed redrawn congressional redistricting map favoring Republicans
The Supreme Court signaled that Texas is likely to prevail in defending its new congressional map, faulting a lower court for misreading evidence and ignoring required legal inferences as the state races toward 2026 election deadlines.
In a brief order that keeps Gov. Greg Abbott’s redrawn districts in place for now, the court said the district court committed two major errors by failing to apply the presumption of legislative good faith when considering disputed evidence and by declining to draw a near-dispositive inference against challengers who offered no alternative map that met Texas’s partisan goals.
The stay is temporary while the merits proceed, yet Justice Elena Kagan warned in dissent that the ruling effectively locks in the contested boundaries for the 2026 midterms because of looming state deadlines. (Fox News) Read more here. 
Thank You, Lord for this ruling. We ask that any other states planning to respond similarly only do so with Your heart and truth. We speak peace to the constant conflicts between states and political parties and ask Your Holy Spirit to bring repentance.

Melania Trump: 7 Ukrainian Children Have Been Reunited with Their Families
Seven Ukrainian children have been reunited with their families, First Lady Melania Trump announced on Thursday as she has continued to advocate for reunification for these children for months.
“My dedication to guaranteeing the safe return of children to their families in this region is unwavering,” the first lady said in a statement released Thursday.
“I commend the leadership and persistent diplomacy of Russia and Ukraine in the pursuit of the reunification of children and families. Their bridge-building has created a tangible collaborative environment—an anchor for optimism. This cooperation will continue to drive the process forward through the next phase,” she said, adding that “In close partnership, my representative and I have provided humanitarian support from the United States to enhance the reunification initiative’s outcome.”
“My hope is that, ultimately, our collective efforts will lead to broader regional stability,” she added.
The update comes months after news of her August letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, pressing him to safeguard the innocence of children as they work to end the war.
(Breitbart) Read more here.
Lord, we thank You for First Lady Melania Trump. We pray that her wisdom, beauty and grace will bring even more Ukrainian children to be reunited with their families, and even an end to the horrific war. Reveal to her Your plan and heart, Lord.

The Trump Administration’s New Foreign Aid Model Cuts Out The ‘NGO Industrial Complex’
The United States is overhauling how it distributes foreign aid to prioritize direct investment in partner nations and eliminate waste by bypassing the “NGO industrial complex,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Thursday.
Rubio unveiled the new policy during the signing of a $2.5 billion Health Cooperation Framework with Kenya. The United States will provide up to $1.6 billion over the next five years to support priority health programs, while Kenya will increase domestic health spending by $850 million to foster its long-term health self-reliance.
Rubio said the previous system funneled aid through foreign or U.S.-based NGOs that absorbed funding through overhead and administrative costs while limiting host-country control.
“We would go to a country and say we are going to help you with healthcare needs and then we would drive over to northern Virginia somewhere and find an NGO, one of these organizations, and give them all the money and tell them to go to this country and do their healthcare program for them,” Rubio said. “By the time it got down to it, the host country had very little influence … and only a percentage of the overall money ever actually reached the patients.” (Daily Wire) Read more here.  
Lord, we thank You that NGOs will no longer be the go-between the countries and taxpayer money. Real assistance programs will hopefully now flow directly to the people who need it, and corruption will be lessened.

Judge Blocks Planned Parenthood Defunding – Again 
As part of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which was signed on July 4, Medicaid funding previously funneled into Planned Parenthood and its affiliates was put on hold for one year. This measure, aimed at redirecting taxpayer dollars away from organizations that carry out elective abortions, was hailed by pro-life advocates as a step in the right direction in safeguarding unborn lives. Unsurprisingly, abortion activists were not keen on the legislation. In fact, on Tuesday, a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama issued a ruling that barred the Trump administration from enforcing the defunding in 22 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia.
In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani sided with blue states to keep the taxpayer dollars flowing to Planned Parenthood. She claimed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) failed “to provide clear notice as required by the Spending Clause of the United States Constitution” to the Democrat-led states concerning the funding cuts. Notably, Talwani had taken similar action in July aimed at this provision already — a decision that was ultimately overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
(The Washington Stand) Read more here. 
Dear God of Justice, we pray that all monies flowing to Planned Parenthood be stopped permanently. While abortions have slowed, they are still being done. This is a horrifying stain on America. We ask that Your Holy Spirit bring repentance and the knowledge of how You see children.

“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood.” (Prov 6: 16-17)  
FOCUS ON ISRAEL

1. Revealed: Hamas money laundering network in Turkey linked to Iran - i24 NEWS

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet revealed on Sunday that Hamas, under the direction of Iran, is operating a clandestine network of money exchangers in the heart of Turkey, using the country’s financial infrastructure to fund terrorist activities against Israel.

According to documents obtained by Israeli authorities, the network is composed primarily of Gazans who manage the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars directly to Hamas and its leadership. 

These funds are received from Iranian sources, stored, and then forwarded to the terrorist organization to support its operations. 

The documents released by the IDF detail a portion of these financial activities, including transactions totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. (Read more)

2. Hamas willing to discuss 'storing or freezing' weapons - Israel National News

Senior Hamas terrorist Bassem Naim, a member of the terror group's political bureau, has said that the terror group is willing to discuss "freezing or storing" its weapons as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel.

In a Sunday interview with the Associated Pressin Doha, Naim said that Hamas is "open" to creating a "comprehensive approach" to avoid further conflict with Israel.

Naim also described the October 7 massacre as an "act of defense" and said that Hamas retains its "right to resist" but that a long-term ceasefire spanning 5-10 years could allow talks to take place. (Read more)

3. Netanyahu rules out Palestinian state but wavers on annexation
- World Israel News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Germany’s chancellor over the weekend that Israel will not accept the establishment of a Palestinian state, while appearing to waver on the question of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.

On Sunday, Netanyahu hosted German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, before the two leaders held a joint press conference.

During their meeting, the two leaders discussed Germany’s acquisition of the Israeli-made Arrow 3 missile defense system, trade between the two countries, and the future of the Trump administration’s Gaza peace plan. (Read more)

4. Qatari PM: Gaza truce can’t be considered ceasefire until Israel leaves the Strip - Times of Israel

DOHA — Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Saturday that Doha does not consider the current situation in Gaza to be a ceasefire, arguing that this would require an Israeli withdrawal from the entirety of the enclave.

Al Thani’s comments were made during a panel discussion at the Doha Forum, and were later echoed by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who laid out Ankara’s vision for a successful implementation of the second phase of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, which the US is looking to begin in the coming weeks.

“We are at the critical moment,” Al Thani said about the Gaza peace process.

“What we have just done is a pause. We cannot consider it yet a ceasefire. A ceasefire cannot be completed unless there is a full withdrawal of the Israeli forces, there is stability back in Gaza [and] people can go in and out, which is not the case today,” he maintained. (Read more)

5.EU forced to admit it was deceived by PA - Israel Hayom

An Israeli intelligence delegation that traveled to Brussels, classified reports delivered to Israeli ambassadors in European capitals, and a broad advocacy campaign – this is how Israel succeeded in changing the European Union's stance toward the Palestinian Authority, and forced Europeans to publicly acknowledge for the first time that Abbas continues paying salaries to terrorists, despite his commitment to stop.

At the end of November, a meeting was held in Brussels between senior Palestinian Authority officials and representatives of donor countries. On the agenda: examining the reforms the Authority committed to implement – chief among them stopping payments to terrorists and their families, a reform the Palestinians declared had already been carried out.

The Authority's commitment to reforms didn't stem from goodwill, but from financial distress. Unlike the past, the Europeans decided to stop serving as an "open wallet" and conditioned continued aid – hundreds of millions of euros – on meeting commitments. (Read more)

1. Harvard professor detained by ICE after Boston synagogue shooting agrees to voluntarily leave US - Fox News

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday announced ICE had detained a Harvard Law School professor accused in a shooting outside a synagogue in October. 
Carlos Portugal Gouvêa, a Brazilian national, was arrested Oct. 2 after he allegedly fired a BB gun outside a Boston area synagogue the day before Yom Kippur. 
Gouvêa told authorities at the time he was "hunting rats." 
Gouvea was put on six months of pretrial probation for a misdemeanor charge of illegal use of the air rifle, while his other charges of disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct and vandalizing property were dismissed.
The Harvard Crimson first reported Gouvêa was suspended by the university pending the investigation, with synagogue leaders noting in an email the shooting was not "fueled by antisemitism."
Two weeks after the shooting, the Department of State revoked his temporary non-immigrant (J-1) visa. (Read more)

2.  GOP Rep. Bacon ‘Relieved’ Hegseth Did Not Give ‘Kill Everybody’ Order, Says ‘Very Questionable’ if Survivors Were Still in the Fight - Breitbart

Thursday on CNN’s “News Central,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said while he was relieved to hear Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did not give an order to “kill everybody,” he said it was “very questionable” that the survivors of the September boat strike in the Caribbean could have been considered to still be in the fight.
Bacon said, “I was relieved to know that the secretary did not give those orders to say, kill everybody, kill the survivors. That was the initial reporting in The Washington Post. So I think that was positive for the secretary. I think it’s still debatable to me that you should target two people or trying to survive in the water. I know the military is saying that they were radioing in to be rescued by their drug colleagues. They were trying to save some of the drugs, but still, I am also troubled to, you know, these two people were trying to survive, and our rules of law or rules of war would not allow us to kill survivors.” (Read more) 

Lord, the problems of lethality and warfighting are not for the faint of heart. War during Biblical times was vicious and bloody. As Christians, we must draw close to Jesus and ask for faith and strength as the times around us grow worse and worse.

3. Twin Brothers Charged with Plotting to Delete Government Databases and Steal Private Info - Breitbart

Two Virginia twin brothers were arrested for their alleged roles in destroying government databases hosted by a federal government contractor, the Justice Department said on Wednesday.
Muneeb and Sohaib Akhter, both 34 years old, were indicted in November for allegedly plotting to destroy databases used to store government information.
Muneeb was charged with conspiracy to commit computer fraud and to destroy records, two counts of computer fraud, theft of government records, and two counts of aggravated identity theft, while Sohaib was charged with conspiracy to commit computer fraud, destroying records, and computer fraud.
Bloomberg News reported in May how the two former federal contractors had compromised data across many government agencies, which includes the Internet Revenue Service (IRS) and the General Services Administration (GSA).
The Akhter brothers also pled guilty in 2016 to federal charges of conspiracy regarding data breaches at the State Department and a cosmetics company. The two worked at Opexus, a federal contractor that helped process government records.

Lord, we ask for full accountability for these brothers whose plan would have created severe problems for Americans. We pray that Your Holy Spirit will change their hearts and minds with a move of true repentance.

4. Supreme Court To Weigh In On Christian Evangelist’s Street Preaching Battle With City- Daily Wire

A Christian evangelist’s battle with a Mississippi city over street preaching took center stage at the Supreme Court on Wednesday as the justices heard arguments that could have far-reaching consequences for Americans who want to defend their constitutional rights in federal court. 
The case revolves around whether 33-year-old Gabriel Olivier can challenge an ordinance from Brandon, Mississippi, that restricted street preaching in a public park outside of a local amphitheater. Olivier, who was convicted in 2021 of street preaching outside of the designated area, is now attempting to overturn the ordinance on First Amendment grounds. 
“This is a really important case, for Christians specifically, because I noticed that all around the country, there’s always an exercise of free speech [that] does not seem to be cracked down on the way that Christians’ free speech is nowadays,” Olivier told The Daily Wire in an interview. (Read more)  

Lord, we pray for all Christians who are attempting to defend Constitutional rights after attacks by the left.  Holy God, we must have a move of Your Spirit to bring the personal knowledge of Jesus to all who will receive Him.  Bring righteousness to our country both for those who need revival and those who have never known You!

5. Trump DOJ Adding ‘Second Amendment Rights Section’ to Civil Rights Division - Breitbart

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is adding a “Second Amendment Rights Section” to its Civil Rights Division.
Reuters noted that the new section is expected to be open as of December 4, 2025.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) reported that the creation of the “Second Amendment Rights Section” is “a historic course correction in federal policy and highlights the Trump Administration’s continued effort to assess ongoing infringements on Second Amendment rights.” (Read more) 

Lord, we thank You for the Trump administration working to preserve the Bill of Rights. We pray that these efforts will not be destroyed by those who plan to take down the freedoms in the US.

6. Taiwan Thanks Trump for Signing Law Reviewing Relationship: ‘A Firm Symbol of Our Shared Values’ – Breitbart

The government of Taiwan thanked President Donald Trump and the United States Congress on Wednesday after the president signed into law the Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act, which mandates regular reviews of Washington’s relationship to Taipei every five years.
The passage of the law sparked outrage in Beijing, where the Chinese Communist Party demanded that Washington adhere to the “One China Principle”: its false claim that Taiwan is a province of China rightfully governed by the Communist Party. In reality, Taiwan is a sovereign state whose government and institutions run entirely independent of the Communist Party; Taiwan has never been governed by a regime headquartered in Beijing.

The United States does not recognize Taiwan as a country thanks to the diplomatic work of late President Jimmy Carter, who broke ties with Taiwan to formalize a relationship with communist China. The Chinese government refuses to have civil relations with any country that acknowledges the reality that Taiwan is a country. Despite Carter’s efforts, however, America retains unofficial ties to Taiwan, sells it weapons, and allows Taiwan to have some informal representation in America through its cultural and economic representation offices.
The Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act builds upon an already existing law passed in 2020 that required the State Department to review and update its guidelines on how to interact with Taiwan, including engagements with government officials. Rather than a one-off review, the law requires that review every five years or more. The law presumably anticipates a growing positive relationship with Taiwan that would allow more cooperation, even as the United States continues to fail to recognize Taiwan as a country. (Read more)

Lord, China must have known this law was coming in spite of their indignation. We bind all attempts to intimidate the US and Taiwan and ask that Your Spirit move in a mighty flood across the nations.

“When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall raise up a standard against him.” (Isaiah 59:19) 

7. State Dept. Classifies Abortion, Trans Surgeries As Human Rights Violations - IFA

The State Department has decided to formally recognize transgender surgeries on children, euthanasia, and abortion as human rights violations, forcing countries that receive taxpayer money to report such practices.
 
Spokesperson Tommy Pigott told The Daily Signal that countries receiving foreign aid will be required to include “the mutilation of children” in their annual reporting to the United States.
 
“In recent years, new destructive ideologies have given safe harbor to human rights violations,” Pigott said. “The Trump administration will not allow these human rights violations, such as the mutilation of children, laws that infringe on free speech, and racially discriminatory employment practices, to go unchecked. We are saying enough is enough.”
 
Other human rights violations that must be tracked include sanctions for so-called “hate speech,” supporting mass migration into other countries, “attempts to coerce individuals into engaging in euthanasia,” “violations of religious freedom, including antisemitic violence and harassment,” and support for “forced testing, forced organ harvesting, and eugenic gene-editing practices on human embryos.” (Read more here)

This is an answer to our prayers for a pro-life, God-honoring administration. Let’s pray that our President and his administration continue to stand boldly for the truths laid out in God’s Word!

"Ask, and it shall be given you; . . ." (Matthew 7:7) 

WHITE HOUSE NEWSLETTER

A SUMMARY OF LAST WEEK'S NEWS!

To read a summary of last week's news from the White House, please go here

Trump to unveil Board of Peace on December 15, amid Israeli concerns over Hamas disarmament
BoP will preside over an international executive board that will manage operations; and a new Palestinian technocratic government, consisting of experts unaffiliated with Hamas or Fatah.

As the U.S. is rapidly advancing toward Phase Two of the Gaza peace deal, President Donald Trump is expected to announce the composition of his transitional "Board of Peace"(BoP) body on December 15, a senior western diplomatic source tells i24NEWS.
 

This high-level council, chaired by Trump, will oversee temporary governance of Gaza, supervise reconstruction funding, and prepare the ground for eventual handover to a reformed Palestinian Authority.

The council will preside over an international executive board that will manage operations; and a new Palestinian technocratic government, consisting of experts unaffiliated with Hamas or Fatah, who will handle the administration. 

The planned announcement comes amid ongoing intense U.S. pressure: U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz arrives in Israel this week for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and briefings on the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2803.

Waltz will also visit Kerem Shalom crossing to focus on humanitarian aid distribution and inspect the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) overseeing Gaza aid and ceasefire implementation. Phase Two hinges on further Israeli withdrawals, deployment of an international stabilization force, and progress toward Hamas disarmament but Israel fears Hamas disarmament is overlooked by the Administration as the terror group continues to rebuild its forces in the red zone where Israel already withdrew its forces. (i24NEWS) Read more here. 

Father, we pray that Your Spirit will hover over this plan as You hovered over the earth when You created it. Bring about only Your perfect will. We bind any plan to institute a two-state solution or anything that would divide Your land. We ask that Your Holy Spirit bring truth and Your wisdom to all involved in this council.

 “And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land” (Joel 3:2) 
  
SCOTUS to review Trump executive order on birthright citizenship 
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review the legality of President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., a landmark case that stands to profoundly upend the lives of millions of Americans and lawful U.S. residents.
Oral arguments in the case are expected to be held sometime between February and April next year, with a ruling expected by the end of June.
At issue before the court is Trump's executive order signed on the first day of his second presidential term, which seeks to end birthright citizenship for nearly all persons born in the U.S. to undocumented parents, or parents with lawful temporary status in the country. 
Trump's order seeks to clarify the 14th Amendment, which states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Trump administration officials have focused their case on the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" provision of the 14th Amendment, Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued in appealing the case to Supreme Court that the clause, in their view, had been misinterpreted.
"The lower court's decisions invalidated a policy of prime importance to the president and his administration in a manner that undermines our border security," Sauer wrote. "Those decisions confer, without lawful justification, the privilege of American citizenship on hundreds of thousands of unqualified people." (Fox News) Read more here. 
Holy Lord, many migrants have abused the system and citizenship given automatically instead of the legal path followed by others. We pray that Your wisdom and truth will come to all on the Supreme Court and that Trump’s order will prevail.

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17)  
'A male living in Virginia': Suspect in D.C. pipe bomb case arrested after 5-year investigation
After five years of investigating, authorities have arrested a suspect in the Washington, D.C., pipe bomb case that developed at the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021.
 
This was just at the time of the Capitol protest-turned-riot where thousands massed at the government building to protest what they saw as the unfair results of the 2020 presidential election. A few hundred broke into the building and vandalized it, and the government prosecuted even those who were convicted of no more than trespassing with years in jail.
 
President Donald Trump ended that with a pardon of those offenders when he took office in his second term.
 
The report cited "sources" and said the suspect, at the time, was on video wearing a gray hoodie, Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers, a face mask, glasses, and gloves.
 
The report said, "Authorities discovered the two pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committees' headquarters around the same time that thousands of protesters a few blocks away began to descend on the Capitol over the 2020 election results. Video footage released by the FBI showed an unidentified person placing the pipe bombs near the two headquarters more than 16 hours before law enforcement found them."

The suspect was named by the FBI as Brian Cole, 30, of Virginia.
 
He reportedly was into anarchist ideologies, and his arrest came after the FBI reassessed evidence it already had collected.
 
Authorities described the pipe bombs has homemade, consisting of threaded galvanized pipes, kitchen timers and homemade black powder. (World Net Daily) Read more

Holy Lord, we are grieved that this investigation sat for nearly 5 years without any action when the Biden DOJ went after Christians and Grandmothers who only walked inside the Capitol.

We ask for a move of repentance and accountability across all parts of the US government for the wrong-headed focus of our federal law enforcement. Only You can change the hearts of all - we thank You in advance for Your help!

"If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:14)

He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies."

Orange alert in effect for Puracé volcano after renewed eruptive activity, Colombia
Volcanic activity at Puracé, Colombia, intensified on November 30, 2025, prompting authorities to raise the alert level to Orange for the Los Coconucos volcanic chain in Cauca Department on December 1. Since then, continuous tremor, long-period seismicity, and sustained gas-and-ash emissions have been recorded, with columns exceeding 700 m (2 300 feet) above the summit (4 650 m / 15 260 a.s.l.) and occasional ashfall reported in nearby communities.

In its bulletin issued at 09:00 LT (14:00 UTC) on December 1, SGC confirmed persistent seismic activity beneath the crater, dominated by volcanic tremor and long-period events associated with the movement of fluids inside the volcanic conduit. The events corresponded with continuous emission of gases and occasional pulses of volcanic ash.

The height of emission columns surpassed 700 m (2 300 feet) above the summit, though unfavorable weather conditions prevented precise measurement. The agency reported four aviation warnings in 24 hours, including one at 21:23 LT on November 30 linked to a tremor episode that produced an ash-and-gas column dispersing eastward. No reports of ashfall were received from nearby communities during this period.

The following day, in its 08:30 LT (13:30 UTC) bulletin on December 2, SGC stated that seismic and surface activity persisted with similar characteristics.

Gas and ash columns reached heights of more than 500 m (1 640 feet) above the summit, spreading mainly toward the southeast. Seven aviation alerts were issued between December 1 and 2, the most significant at 23:27 LT on December 1, when a volcanic tremor generated a dense gas-and-ash column over 500 m (1 640 feet) above the crater rim.
