The Beginning of the Outstations (10/05)
This past week we went into two of the Barrangays (communities) and held open air services. I think they turned out good. We often invite and get commitments from people but they sometimes do not show, this time we were going to bring church to them. The first time we had 30+ people and many prayed, the next time, we walked through the streets playing the guitar, tambourine and singing and had 60+. We plan to do it again this week. We had one sister testify. She used to be a “Jueteng” (pronounced wetting) worker. Jueteng is an illegal numbers (gambling) game and she was the #1 collector for her area….then came Jesus and she gave her heart to God and gave all of that up. She is an older lady, full of energy and spunk and quite a soulwinner for God! Her life makes a difference in her barrangay.

Brother, once again I want to say thank you for these posts. It gives me a chance to see another country through your eyes. I may or may never go there, but through you I can at least imagine what it is like. Thank you and your wife for all of your labors.
Thank you for your prayers and for taking the time to read and post. Knowing there are others in America reading and praying (and commenting)is an encouragement to us. God bless you.
Well the coffee we are drinking now is called Barako. A brother has family in a province called Batangas and when he goes there he brings back some good beans for us. When that is gone, I sometimes revert to instant....I know....it almost seems like I am compromising...necessity!
