Day 1.5 -- Staying Awake and Getting Re-acclimated

Kevin - We each arrived with expectations and some of us with memories from the previous trip, wondering what has changed and what's different. The first day has been full of activity and coming to terms with feelings about where and how God would use us this time. The last day has brought confirmation, encouragement and the refreshment of the Holy Spirit. I'm excited for what the next 2 weeks will bring and taking each day, each relationship, and each opportunity to share the love of Jesus.

Mack - We were all thrilled to see the kids. More than twenty still here and we were happy that they remembered us and seemed as happy to see us as we were to see them . Things here are so much the same and yet in many ways very different.

Brigitte - hi from Manila. It was great seeing all the kids, most of them that we send time with 2 years ago are still there. It was very moving to know that they remembered us from 2 years ago. It is very humid and hot, please pray for coolness and comfort for us. It is great to be here and to make a small difference in the lives of people and tho see how God has worked in their lives.

Cindy-I'm so thankful I'm here with the kids and I ask for prayer that God would do a miracle with our small loaves and fishes.

Annette- We woke up to rain this morning but now the sky is bright. We have our first full day of ministry today. Yesterday we experienced an awesome praise and worship service in the new auditorium at Faith Academy.

Carylyn-Grateful for Jeff and Coleen,D.J. and Rachel and others who have poured out their lives to come to the Philippines. Thank God for their commitment and dedication.

Nellie (Kevin entering on her behalf) -- Much like the babies in the nursery, still not sleeping through the night - but thankfully no diapers and she can tell us what she needs rather than just crying. ;-)

Dave - The adventure has begun. The Word of the Lord to teach all nations is in motion. God's glory will shine through us and your support and prayers will increase ten fold. Thank You.
