Greetings from the Philippines!
Thank you for your prayers for safe travels! Please continue to pray for this time, as we know our strength only comes from the Lord.
We are so thankful that even after some late flights, missed flights, and 2 days of flying, we all ended up at our destination in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines on schedule!
Here we must stay in a hotel since the people do not have homes of the sort to fit our bunch into. The first night we went to the church on the hill, where many tires filled with mud in the only way up. It is wonderful to worship in this hiltop church where the sound can waft out over the entire village below!
It again is a huge blessing to have young people on the trip. They are such a blessing to the people here as they sing, do home visits, pray, and do many other things in the mission field. Thank you for coming, Julie, Jada, Leona! (Julie Matson and Jad Questan pictured)
Today the pastor here has seen fit that the people at this "little convention" are put into action in the battle for souls. We are going to the villages homes in small groups, and will be going home to home speaking to people, praying for them, inviting them to church, and so forth! As servants of the Lord, we will go and do as directed by our hosts!
On Saturday we drive 7 hours to a different city to have several services in that area, including a large gathering of multiple churches on Sunday.
Until we can update again!
In His Service, The Philippino Crew!

On Thurday our venue was changed to a borrowed larger open air (top floor, no side walls) church in the city. Here Dennis Hilman did the biblical teaching/preaching on God's Plan, and sermons were preached. Singing was also an important part of the day, as was the praying and individual fellowship with our Christian friends in this country!.
