This week was totally different...
I was able to experience sleeping on a wooden frame, warming up water in a tea kettle to take a bath, and being in a really cold part of the Philippines.
We stayed in Tam'awan Villiage, Baguio and the elevation there was 5000 ft.
At first it was hard to breathe and it was hard to get used to hiking everywhere, especially, up the really steep roads.
Our ministry consisted of helping out a Tribal Christian Chruch. The church was located in the Baguio, Philippines Navy Base. Supposedly everyone is allowed to live there, along with the Navy.
Our team had opportunities to share the message on Sunday.
So Nani shared the message in the main service and I shared a message with the youth in the afternoon.
Throughout the week we were able to hook up with the Honolulu DTS team. That was pretty fun, especially, for me because I haven't been with Westeren'ers for a long time. So it was a chance for me to hang out and talk about "western stuff" :) We were able to do presentations together and share the love of God to people living in the social development center. The people living in this facility consist of children that ran away from home, have been abused, or engaged in stealing things. So yeah it was fun to share this ministry with the Hawaiian team.
It is also funny because they actually have a full outreach team and our team consists of 3 including me : Christine (Staff), Nani, and me
Yeah there are some struggles along the way but its cool because it gives us an opportunity to bond and be open similar to how a family would bond.
And it also gives me opportunities to seek intimacy with God.
God is good! And he remains faithful to me time and time again....
Tomorrow our team will be going back to Manila to help out at another orphanage located in Rizal, Manila....
I'm not sure what we'll be doing there, but i'll be sure to update all of you...
After we finish our week of service there, we'll be leaving for China :)
Keep us in your prayers
Love you all
Miss you all
God bless
