We're Off

Postby paul » June 17th, 2009, 12:56 pm

We leave tomorrow morning for our summer team trip to the Philippines. Looking for a great time with the youth. The team will be ministering at the dump sites, squatters camps, both in the city and remote areas. Showing the Jesus Film, feeding programs, medical outreaches, street minstering with music and dramas. Youth conferences, Pastors seminars, childrens mini vbs. And much more.

We have 18 from California and 8 joining us from Texas. Smaller than last year, but still a good response considering the economy. I am so proud of these young people. They have worked all year to save their money to cover the trip. There really is a committed generation of young people stepping forward.

Thank you in advance for your prayers. I am excited, while there we will be appointing our South East Asia/Pacificia regional director. This is our next major step in being a part of reaching Muslim Indonesia and Malaysia and plant more bible colleges and churches.

Going anywhere near Davao?

We will be north of Davao. We have a good size work in the Cabato and General Santos area, up in the northern area around Iligan and Cagayan de Oro and then over on the Zamboanga penissila area.

Davao is a really nice place. Dr. Ralph mahoney ( World Maps ) did a great work in that area.

Of all the places we work in. If I had to choose one to, quote: retire, it would be the Philippines, hands down.

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

Really? Wow! You don't get that picture of the Philippines in culture, education, media. What's the best thing about it to you?
